Around the League VII

[Addison Rae]

If Tampa Bay goes .500 in their remaining 12 games, they'll still put up the 6th-best season in league history. Also, they're still capable of setting the all-time record (although they would have to go 11-0-1 to do it)

would be hilarious if they to hockey’s version of lebron (crosby) similar to golden state when they set the wins record.

(yeah i know lebron’s way better and they’re completely different sports just let me post more about the warriors blowing a 3-1 lead)

Can't believe TB only lost 13 times this season. And one of those is to us!! Lol, I think that's the highlight of the Canucks season.

I can see the banner raising ceremony now. "2018-19 Canucks: We beat Tampa Bay"

LeCrosby's gotta make the playoffs first... sound familiar?? (jk the Habs won't catch them)

The whole “homophobia slur” is kinda stupid.

All those racist, sexist, homophobic slurs are nothing but words, they are ultimately powerless.

It’s the reaction every time some one uses them that give those words so much powers.

Humanity is dumb

Still owe me VCash from last year when Bron swept your team

In a game full of men and rage yes I agree. But as a league when its caught on camera they definitely have to address it. PR matters.

I get where you are coming from; but you'd be naive to think words are ultimately powerless.

Words have immense power. Which is why restricting speech etc is the first order in any totalitarian regime.

lol if an officer of a public company was caught using that language, there would be repercussions. Why would it be any different for a professional sports team?

I'd say the bigger story (positive) should be how the Leafs and Dubas handled the subsequent response.

you gotta accept the win my dude!

 

[Hemty]

McCann looking like a stud.

 

[timw33]

McCann with nice play to set up Guentzel.

 

[Nucker42]

McCann would be the perfect poor mans Horvat... god he would good in a Cancuks uniform...exactly why you don’t trade prospects before you know what they are...

Forsling.....burned....

McCann ......burned.....

Dahlen?.....

I try and stay positive but trading prospects and countless picks when you’re trying to rebuild is so counter productive...

 

[Fire Benning]

McCann with 9 points in his last 8.

 

[Addison Rae]

Yeah McCann looks fantastic at both ends of the rink. What a complete failure of a trade, yikes.

 

[Addison Rae]

McCann with 9 points in his last 8.

Being trusted as a penalty killer and on the ice in late game situations on a team that's won 2 of the last 3 cups as a 22 year old.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

I doubt McCann will be effective in the playoffs when it really counts. Still not a big loss.

How can you not see it as a loss? I dont get it, his play has picked up a ton, Ive watched him play in Pittsburgh, he AINT EATING CROSBYS Coats Tails. This kid is exploding on the scene. We traded him and higher picks for a very controversial dman

Put up that trade in any forum any discussion any GMs and ask who won that trade. We got roasted, doesnt mean Benning hasnt done some good moves RMB

 

[Fire Benning]

Crazy that you'd move on from a guy for being an entitled 19 year old or whatever. Lo and behold since he's left he hasn't any notable issues and is finding his groove with Pittsburgh. And we have Tanner Pearson to show for it..sigh

**** McCann. Trade looks like dog feces even if you just consider the 2nd round pick in that Guds deal. Drafting guru strikes again.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Guys, McCann is good

Like HTP said, we also lost a lotta picks to give up Mccann...

FACT

 

[Zombotron]

Yeah, boys, I don't know about McCann. Let's trade him and the chance to draft Alex DeBrincat for a useless slug of a defenseman who'll last less than three years here. It's cool. Bo Horvat can lead us to the playoffs dragging third and fourth-liners around for the next half decade. McCann hung out with Justin Bieber once so I don't like him. It's cool that we threw two top-nine players away because McCann probably won't be good in the playoffs. Too bad we didn't trade McCann for Victor Loov when we had the chance. I love Loov.

Scouts find the talent at the draft.
Jim trades it away because he has no idea what he's looking at.

Okay, I'm watching this game and Erik Gudbranson doesn't look totally lost out there.
