Sens coming back! The more they play the young guys the better they look. Just need to get Stepan out so they can finally give Logan Brown a real chance.

50/50 call. Wouldn't have been upset either way but tie goes to the goalie for me.
Seems like the NHL wants the goalie to be able to both find where the puck is and get set in order to rule it no interference for contact in the crease.

Julien and Muller fired by the Canadiens.

Meanwhile....,
Guess all those victories against the Canucks gave them and their fans FALSE sense of where their team was at. Everything since then for that overrated crappy team came back to earth. Theyre dumpster fire losers and deserve this

Or Vegas firing Gallant last year. Minnesota offloading their GM. Good organizations make changes designed to win and don’t wallow in mediocrity.
After missing the playoffs three straight years the Canucks recognized many of the extensive amount of losses were actually moral victories so decided to extend Benning.

Thats what I call a winning formula

Why is our owner so pleased with mediocrity. Watching other franchises do what needs to be done and not being scared of the state of the league/world to do it is SO frustrating.

Meanwhile....,
Notice who the Interim guys are. An Assistant Coach and an AHL assistant coach based in the same province.

If Green goes, do one of the assistants take over? Anyone from the A needs to quaratine before joining the bench.

Canucks need a new owner.
I don't see who in BC would buy the club. Toronto is owned by a big corporation. Montreal by the Molson family, backed by a few big corporate partners. Winnipeg is owned by the richest family in Canada. Calgary by a group of Oil business men, Edm by a Billionaire Pharmacy guy and Ottawa also needs a better owner.

So, if it is not a big corporation, there are not many options for a single owner. Talking over $1 billion USD for both the Canucks and Rogers Arena. At a minimum, you're needing someone with a net worth of around $2.5 Billion CAD.

Can say a New Owner is needed, but there are limited options available.
