Man. All of a sudden it seems Vancouver has an exciting young team. How did that happen?

They've been sucking since after getting eliminated in 2012.

 

[ru4reals]

It's goes with being good for awhile then sucking and soon enough we'll be good again.....in the next 45 years of course. No worries folks we'll be good again and smiling where ever we'll be in the next 45 years. 2064 here we come.

Man. All of a sudden it seems Vancouver has an exciting young team. How did that happen?

Drafted calder winner Pettersson with a 1st
Drafted calder nominee Boeser with a 1st
Drafted potential calder nominee Quinn Hughes with a 1st
Drafted future starting Goalie with a 1st
Drafted our captain Horvat with a 1st
Traded away a 1st for 26 year old under-utilized winger in J.T. Miller. the guy is now a stud and on pace for a ppg season
Signed good solid depth guys in Sutter, Beagle, Ferland, Myers etc.

ya u gotta suck for a while lol and take a few chances

 

[Jericho111091]

I just want to see a zoomyboi line of Kempe-Kupari-Wagner at some point

 

[DryIslandBartender]

She was let go for, uh, personnel reasons, right?

I believe she just left. She does UFC stuff on espn now.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I thought she got in trouble for DUI.

 

[HookKing]

To what?

Iafallo off the PP? He needs to be off! Grundstrum, Kovy, Prokhorkin, Carter, Toffoli would be better. Especially when you have him and Brown on the same PP, which do the same thing.

Benching Iafallo? Why not? He is just as bad as Toffoli scoring wise (actually worse) and he has been on the 1st line almost every game.

Benching Lizotte? Why not? Yes, he brings energy but nothing else. He is not producing so bench him to give him some rest and reset his confidence. He is young and probably needs a boost.

Bench Lewis? Should've happened awhile ago.

I'd rather see Amadio over Lizotte or Iafallo. And definitely Toffoli over Lewis or Iafallo.

Toffoli can't skate, he's too slow to generate any offense. Sadly, the game has passed him by. Amadio isn't much faster and doesn't know how to play D. He loses every puck battle on the boards.

Yeah but I have a hard time seeing Heidi get shoved out when the organization welcomes Hardy and host him for legends night over the stuff he pulled.

This is what happens in a cap world. Artificial parity is created where good teams become bad and bad teams become good just by the nature of their success or lack thereof. It shouldn't be shocking that the Kings/Hawks/Sharks are not doing great while the Oilers/Nucks/Sabres are now. This is what was supposed to happen.

n1 dewey

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Ugh.

Do we need to fire up a 2020 draft thread?

I’m not shocked. It just seems like yesterday that they were holding on to the Sedins too long.

 

[kingsfan28]

stop taking stupid f-ing penalties!

 

[Bandit]

Ugh.

It already exists.

 

[onlyalad]

Remember there was a time when the Kings PK was good. I think I do, but then I wonder was that just a dream

 

[kingsboy11]

The Canucks right now:

 

[ru4reals]

We got the league right where we want em. Rope a dope baby. Seriously though I'm excited about April.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Has to be one of the most passive PKs in the game.

 

[tny760]

come the f*** on kopi..

 

[ru4reals]

Kempe scoring on the PP only means one thing.... we're gonna see more of him on the powerplay. Just get him and Iafailo off the unit my goodness.

 

[Bandit]

Kovalchuck is useless if he’s not one timing shots

where did it go in 2 seasons? we went from the top goalies/pk to the worst in two years. What changed?

Quick got older, and we lost a lot of good defensemen.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Didn’t think this team would give up trying so soon, but here we are. Less than a month into the season and they’ve already packed it in.
