Post-Game Talk: Game 4: Canucks 2 Cowgary 5 | That was...sub-optimal.

[ProstheticConscience]

Saturday Night's Alright for Fightin'...and also boring hockey games.

Thrill at Tanner Glass' forecheck! Swoon at Gudbranson getting beat wide! Marvel at Green's rock solid hair gel, and picture it fighting the spiny hedgehog Brian Burke wears at parties!

Other sideplots: Mike Smith's now the goalie in Calgary. Yeah, good luck with that. Look forward to him cartwheeling along the goal line the first time Horvat brushes against him behind the net. Seriously dude, just stay in your f***ing net.

Will the Canucks do something worth remaining awake for? Will the Flames remember they're actually a superior hockey team and play well? If Johnny Gaudreau saw a naked woman in the flesh, would he run and grab a first aid kit?

Tune into the SNET or CITY tv tonight at 7, and some of those questions might be answered.

GO CANUCKS!!

Fanner Glass.

Is Sam Bennett still 18 years old?

Is Sam Bennett still 18 years old?

Of course.

 

[Nuckles]

Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Tkachuk, Jagr, Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic...what a boring lineup.


YEEE BOOOOIIII

 

[Yggdrasil]

Fanner Glass.

Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Tkachuk, Jagr, Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic...what a boring lineup.


YEEE BOOOOIIII

Smith got ventilated by Ottawa so Im not surprised

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

the Tanner Glass tribute is gonna be emotional

 

[David Bruce Banner]

3-2 Flames, hat trick Tkachuk... just to piss off M2B

Both Canuck goals by Virtanen... just to further piss of M2B.

 

[m9]

The Mike Smith/Eddie Lack duo will not end well for Calgary.

 

[DL44]

Sutter v Monahan?
Horvat v Backlund?
Sedin v Jagr in races for the lose puck... which a Dman keeps swooping in around both to keep winning.

 

[terrible dee]

So, is Erikkson finally going to be in the press box for a game?

I can't ever remember seeing a hockey player take the money and run this blatantly before.

The guy is one of the most consistent NHL players for YEARS, gets his "Golden Parachute" deal and before the ink has dried he officially could give two f**ks about anything hockey related.

They should give some thought to having him work the concession stand or any way he may be of some use.

You would have to think that there would become legal recourse for a team, if, say at the end of this season things still haven't changed.

You should be able to show a judge what he's done in the past, what a contract of that value is to a player that age (Their final cash-out deal) and prove that the deal was signed in bad faith, for someones ability to VANISH once the financial incentive has been removed, isn't within the "spirit" of the deal. Erikkson is taking the Canucks for a ride. I don't believe his skill vanished over the course of a summer. I think we are seeing a very low-class individual try and bilk money out of a company by misrepresenting himself.

I honestly think that if it comes to it at the end of this year, the Canucks could, outside of the league, in the court system, have the contract voided.

Okay

Vanek >> Eriksson.

 

[Nuckles]

Eriksson needs to rest up for another unremarkable performance tonight. He got his $7M signing bonus in July, he's going to play like the $1M forward he's being paid to be during the season.

 

[valkynax]

I was thinking Tkachuk gonna score a few goals, then I realized we have OJ guarding him so we should be alright.

The Juice is loose.

 

[ddawg1950]

[Nuckles]

Send him down already...

 

[krutovsdonut]

i wonder how they treat an mcl sprain for a pro athlete. i had one and they immobilized my knee with a brace for a month. it healed perfectly, but it took a while to get that leg back in shape afterwards.

 

[Ryp37]

And to no ones surprise Virtanen sits tonight

Snoreeeeeeee

I imagine benning is patting himself on the back for acquiring pouliot and giving the team "defensive depth" now that edler is injured...
