Yeah... for theBIG WIN TONIGHT. PLAYOFF PUSH ROLLS ON.
Capitals!!

Neither of them were getting traded at the deadline, signed 3 years and 2 years.
I'm enjoying the journey, win or lose.
We're really bad, but it comes as no surprise.
Never forget MDZ keeping the net upright only to end up in Markstrom’s lap, to have Washington score and then MDZ complain right after for goalie interference....goalie interference on who...yourself?
I can’t believe he signed with us. Steal of the summer.
Prust says hiNever hated a Canuck more.
I'm glad somebody else mentioned this....Del Zotto is getting all the brick-bats, but that first goal was another stoppable puck that just leaked through the goaltender.....and the second goal wasn't much better.Meh. Lots made about that but make no mistake Markstrom still tried to stop the puck and it went right thru him.
The GMs fighting for his life and you scratch his biggest signing making him look even worse. I'd be worried about my job security if I did that to desperate GM looking for a scapegoat.
@Zombotron dude if you gonna make the title like this you have to put that pic on the FRONT page bruh.
Else people all gonna get confused.
If the Canucks implode and finish 28-31 for the third year in row, I just can't see the Aquilinis' sitting on their hands for another season. This is a business after all.....an under-performing payroll; no playoff revenue for four out of the last five years; faltering attendance and merchandise sales; and eroding corporate support......it all spells trouble for those in charge.....I imagine that Linden would survive the carnage, but why would he want to?.....Trev needs to go back to his fitness business, contact lens business, cycling vacations or whatever else he's into these days. Then they can scour the landscape for a properly qualified hockey executive.
Ericsson is definitely getting up there with Messier. Someone mentioned Prust- not even close to this level of overpaid uselessness.Never hated a Canuck more.
This has been discussed ad naseum. 1.5M per playoff game in revue multiplied by 5-6 home playoff games is literally nothing for Aquilini. His 2018 net worth is estimated at 3.3 BILLION dollars (and growing).
So the 10-12 M he would lose is equivalent to you losing $100 of your savings. Maybe less. (Too tired to do the math).
Give the team credit for making push in the third. Really weren't far off from getting a goal. However throughly and absolutely dominated for much of the game. Second looked like a Capital's practice.
Pretty clear difference in the level of talent, experience and size.
Good
Markstrom - made many great saves and never quit. Deserves something for that. First goal was iffy - had a chance even after the net flopped over on him but let shot dribble through him.
Bad
Granlund - when Sutter comes back he needs to sit. Nothing good is going on here. Play in his own end continues downward spiral and of course no offense outside of some muffin shots
Chaput - effort can't cover up for no ability
Eriksson - just a step ahead of Granlund in terms of being benched. And that's disputable. Verdict is totally in on Loui - he's no good.
Dowd - starting to slide. Looks burnt out already. Fully becoming a member of the all nothing crew at the bottom of the Canuck line up.
Stecher - did make some good rushes and such in the late going but overall he was real bad in his end. Him and Gudbranson are not an effective combo to say the least.
Others (really a very arbitrary line between being bad and being sort of ok in this game)
Hutton - nice that he stood up for himself and played with some edge. Not great but better
Virtanen - did enough good to make up for some dubious neutral zone play. Like to see a break through on the scoring. Seems close but seems too hurried in his finish around the net.
del Zotto - very foolish on the first goal. Sort of meh in the game.
Goldobin - at least provides some excitement. Needs to start scoring. I say keep him in the lineup.
Sedins - so uneven. At times pretty good, at others very bad. Need to be sharper on the PP. Couple of time appeared unready to take a pass.
Boeser - in spite of some tough checking and hard play against him created chances for himself and others
Really the only thing to look forward to is the lottery. Trouble is that other teams below us have the same idea and got an earlier start. Sorry to say that any win now is to be avoided given the way others are blatantly sandbagging.
I stand corrected. No player with term on their contracts have ever been traded. Not sure why I didn’t look it up first.
I seem to remember it being around 800m at its peak, Between 3-5 overall in the leagueThe Canucks franchise value was, I don’t even remember, but compared to now, it’s value has lost like 300M probably. Maybe I’m exaggertinf the number I have no idea where to look, but I remember seeing the franchise value down A LOT.
No businessman, no matter how rich, is going to let it continue to plummet.

Wouldnt surprise me to see a 200m drop so far, maybe even more. Sports evaluations are always a crapshoot anyway. No sympathy for AquiliniYeah that’s the number I was thinking too. Maybe it hasn’t fallen 300M, maybe it has but that seems like a lot. All I know is I remember seeing that number a lot, lot less.

He has swapped out players every game , some benched some scratched. Amount of minutes change etc and he has 1 win in a month. So basically I could do his job.
