Hansen deserves an A on his sweater. It's clear he's become part of the leadership on this team. His play this season and his post game comments have both been great. One guy I hope doesn't get traded.

Just caught the highlights because I was flying all day yesterday.
Both the goals on Talbot were just horriawful but it's nice to have the bounces go in the Canucks favour sometimes.

There were about 450 bounces that didn't go their way yesterday. Honestly, they had several better chances that simply missed the net. Baertschi alone could have had a hatrick.

Absolutely. We might just have a player in him. He really is a nice skater and plays with a lot of confidence. That hit he made on Hendricks on the 2 on 1 was surprisingly a really nice read.
On another note: Weber has been so unbelievably frustrating for me to watch this season. He seems to get more golden opportunities than everyone on the team and it feels like he misses the net 80% of the time.
Pedan is such a big strong guy he just needs to lean into a guy and is able to put him on his butt, he just planted Hendricks with not a little speed going into him
I'm actually excited about our defense going forward, pedan, tyrmakin, (if he can make his way over here) Hutton, biega, hamhuis and even Sbisa can make a great bottom 4

I think there are some pieces. Edler, Hutton, Sbisa, and Pedan will be a solid left side next season. Tanev and Biega should be two of the right side spots. There is a gaping hole for a RHD on that second pairing. It's too bad that a Hamonic deal isn't really a fit, he would be an excellent fit.

True.
Kenins run last year becomes more surprising to me every time I watch him play. He carries the puck like a grenade and is extremely limited. He needs to be on a 4th line of with Dorsett and Cracknell and play a straightline, basic game.

Was pleasantly surprised with pedan last night. He seemed to have good hockey iq, made some smart outlet passes. Better skater than I thought he would be.

Yessiree, the 'Nucks had almost $31m in payroll sidelined last night...and what's really scary is how many of these bloated contracts they actually missed.....Sutter, yep...Tanev, sure, but the rest?.....not so much.

how do you draw the conclusion that they missed sutter and tanev but not the rest?

Me too! Can he please say in the line up?!
I have been a fan of that Benning trade from day 1.

It's one thing if he's struggling defensively but puting up points , he's doing neither. Can't wait until he's not a canuck anymore.

If he's claimed so be it, if not it's better for him to be in Utica and regain his game again.
Because I just don't think that guys like Higgins, Hamhuis, Burrows, Miller and Sbisa have played anywhere near their contract numbers....just not convinced that playing guys like Pedan, Biega, Gaunce, Grenier and Markstrom makes this team any worse...hard to fathom really.

The D would be interesting if it was
Edler - Tanev
Hutton - Biega
Hamhuis - Pedan
from the start.
