Hoglander 25 goal szn

Carolina-esque celebration with a team wide center ice griddy

This is what I was thinking.
Then we can also be a bunch of jerks.

We can’t be PDO kings and jerks, we need to pick a niche and stick with it

PDO jerks?

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

PDO jerks?

I'll jerk your PDO

Why is a key player like Joshua fighting when we have guys like Miller and Pettersson who could do that type of grunt work?

Mikheyev will now be throwing fists for Garland.

Bunch of PDO's then.

Not sure how the Canucks will perform in this game..They've only been back a day and a half from their extended road (which seems like weeks ago)..have they acclimatized themselves enough.?

The Wings just got clobbered by the Oilers , and you dont want to face a team thats just been embarrassed.

Would like to see the Canucks win this one fair and square..Last Saturday, they were in full control of the game, and with the aid of some terrible game management calls by the refs..the Wings got back in the game they had no business being in.

Losing Joshua hurts but our forward depth is insane ,

We should be good

Would be a good spot for Podkolzin to fill in since he and Garland have shown some chemistry in the past but that goes against the management’s philosophy of calling legit prospects up when they’re ready for a full time role so I understand not calling him up.

I think, and someone better at this particular aspect could correct me, there's some ELC bonus shenanigans at play as well. If they call him up, because they are using LTIR, he would automatically trigger his bonuses and those would toll into next season. Something like that. I'm not entirely sure how it works but I do believe that is part of it while also letting prospects cook until they are 100% ready or contracts force their hand.

Much rather see someone called up from Abby to replace Joshua than PDG.

 

[UrbanImpact]

I definitely saw it at the time but didnt think much of it but it definitely looked like Joshua broke his hand in his fight with Entwistle.

 

[God]

that... really sucks. that's the only line that's going right now. luckily we know it's garland driving that offense and not joshua, but he's so good at the little things that it's hard to replace him.

You would need to be out ot ltir to get any of it covered this season.. it also works like accrual does so even if the wete the bonus amount under the cap at the end of the season it wouldnt matter as they would not have accrued enough space

So you cant waive a player in the 24th hour and have it covered

 

[Jyrki]

Damn, Joshua is a big loss. Hope Garland/Blueger can still do their thing.

 

[Grumbler]

Redwings will be mad after they lost to Edmonton. Good test for us.

 

[andora]

How many games have teams been upset or motivated or angry coming into vancouver blah blah.. be interesting to see our record

Plus "trap" games.

 

[andora]

Plus "trap" games.

Meh.. they can be their own category... unless it was a motivated team plus trap game - mad traps category those are worth 2

 

[vanarchy]

They're gonna be fired up after getting pumped by Edmonton so this should be another close one.

 

[ziploc]

If Dak's hand is broken, that is very bad news.

 

[Diversification]

He's sort of right.

Lindholm would be fantastic at 5 mil AAV with his versatility and ability to play on both ends of the ice. At his rumored 8 mil...yeah, he's too much of a complementary piece offensively.

He's not great at sustaining possession in the OZ. That's why having Hog on that line has worked. For the kind of money he's looking for, you would hope for more of an offensive play driver than he is.

There's a limit to that forward depth when Aman is a regular even with a fully healthy line-up.
