Will the Flames be able to stop Lammikko? This is the big question.

Markstrom with the shutout, Toffoli scores with a Tanev assist.

Markstrom, Tanev and Tofoli.....all core pieces of the Canucks bubble team....and Benning apparently didn't have the cap room to sign any of them. Instead he invested his money in re-upping Virtanen and then signing Holby as a backup. And after a season bought both out.

Seems a pretty fitting epitaph for the outgoing regime.

I still find this hilarious. First successful run Benning has as a GM then he fails to retain everyone who led the team in the playoffs lol.

Keeping Demko and letting Marky go was and still is the right move.

I agreed with letting Tanev go. Hasn't worked out and he'd be a great piece right now. But his play looked to be slipping (Green effect) and injuries were taking there toll. Re-signing Willie Mitchell in hindsight would have been the right move, but similar to Tanev, I agreed with it at the time and can't really complain.

Toffoli was bad. Shoulda been a priority to keep a player meshing well with our (hopefully) franchise center.

Don't matter now though. They're Shames so eff em all. (After they retire Tanev should probably get a spot on the RoF, Markstrom a nice ovation, and Toffoli, well, good 10 games kid).

stick in rink is awful. worst in the nhl.

No way. I'm a big fan of the SnR. Soooo much better than the stupid spaghetti skate and the orca. Black always looks good as a jersey but love how distinct and appropriate to location our current color scheme is. Lose the orca for the stick n rink and call it done.

100% guaranteed pointless win. Zero chance we lose. I’m betting 100$ on it.

What's our record when we wear the black jerseys? I feel like it's bad.

I didn't know it was a skate jersey night until now, now I have to watch it, those are the best jerseys ever. And if you don't agree well you don't need to tell me it's ok :laugh:
