I blanked out some of those awful years but was Dowd always this good? What was the general consensus for him when he was here? looks like a perfect 4C.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Nic Dowd salary - 750k
Jay Beagle salary - 3 mil

LOL.

It was exactly how you would think it was like.

The same suspects saying he is useless and Beagle is 5x the player Dowd is.

Watching the Caps vs Bruins you really see how far we have to go. Hathaway on the 4th line for the Caps with two goals, the second one of which was a beauty. All four lines can contribute.

Anyone who is making 750k and has a two-way game is good enough for a 4th line role when you are trying to win.

The Canucks had 3 guys in Bonino, Richardson and Dowd who would have been cheap good talent in the bottom 6. Yet they ended up with Sutter, Roussel and Beagle.

Washington did well to cut Beagle loose. He was already slowing down before their cup run.

Really looking forward to the avs games
That team is crazy fast

I don't think this really means much. Motte scored two goals against St. Louis last year, didn't he?

 

[Breakers]

I LOVE me some Brett Pesce.

my absolute dream defensive partner for Hughes.

I think he was available like a year ago potentially.
I would have given up big assets for him.

What did we win exactly ?

You know what I mean....

 

[canucksfan]

Nic Dowd salary - 750k
Jay Beagle salary - 3 mil

LOL.

Better player for a cheaper contract.

 

[mossey3535]

LOL Guds doing not-so-Gudd things as usual...

 

[RobertKron]

Nic Dowd salary - 750k
Jay Beagle salary - 3 mil

LOL.

YEAH BUT JAY BEAGLE EARNS HIS MONEY IN THE PLAYOFFS

 

[Get North]

It would be funny if the Blues upset Colorado. Craig Berube is persistent on his team winning puck battles in the corner, I think the young Avs D can be exposed with Blues playing style.

There could be good value in betting on that since Colorado won the President's Trophy

 

[Peen]

Carolina and Colorado winning these first round matchups seem like the biggest slam dunks of all time

 

[Zanon]

Not sure how I feel about those blue Avalanche helmets.

 

[LordBacon]

Blues were ready from the start,
Can’t say that about the avs

 

[Peen]

Staal backs me up instantly what a beauty

 

[Peen]

Pierre McGuire is such a cuck

Just makes me want to mute my tv

 

[LordBacon]

Refs being jackasses again,
No call on the blues
Mad respect for Landeskog sticking up for his team

 

[Nucker101]

Carolina and Colorado winning these first round matchups seem like the biggest slam dunks of all time

Blues will probably try to bully the Avs, they know they can’t match their speed and skill. Avs aren’t exactly a small or soft team though.

 

[canuckking1]

Blues are a super dirty team. Always have been and it worked in 2019 when they bullied boston.

Yup. Even if the Avs win this series, they’ll get roughed up

 

[Peen]

Look at the f***ing speed and talent up and down the avs lineup it’s insane

Canes vs Avs SCF would be fun as hell
