[Breakers]

That Vancouver goal song isn’t it

Retire it

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Not to defend officials, but would the league be better if they made league minimum for a player? Asking because I've found my employees do better work when they are paid better.

LOL, league minimum? We're lucky these cheap-ass owners aren't sending somebody to the Home Depot in the morning to pick up illegals standing around looking for work and then putting them into striped shirts.

Honestly, those immigrants are better, more skilled workers, than most gringos. But I work in an industry where we work.

Agree, they are generally good laborers and many are quite good tradesmen. I've had clients in the oil patch who loved them because, unlike most local roughnecks, they consistently worked hard, were rarely absent, and generally stayed off drugs and alcohol.

But I still don't think these owners have any particular desire to give the NHLOA a single dime more than they can negotiate.

I am skeptical that on-ice officiating can be significantly improved because of the speed of the game, but full-time real-time video officiating would do wonders, i.e., having a couple of video officials who have the ability to spot fouls and stop play, as well as more quickly correct bad calls. But that's money that I also don't expect the owners to invest anytime soon.

 

[Canucks LB]

Ep40 is going for the selke this year

 

[RedRocking]

And now we take you back to 1985’s “The Breakfast Club”, lol.

 

[Hierso]

Why is the ice so bad?

 

[SiZ]

Petey's going to want 12m if he keeps this up, and I'd be okay with it.

 

[jackjohnson]

Pettersson is too good

 

[Three On Zero]

Pettersson > Draisaitl

 

[notsocommonsense]

Love that Tocc is benching Miller after his selfish bullshit

 

[Canucks LB]

Just great coaching, he’s probably been our best player this year, honestly, and he still benching him after a bad couple periods, that’s accountability, that’s how you win

 

[Fraser28]

WTF, surely I didn’t just hear Sportsnet call the Pacific the “toughest in the NHL”

Also, beating Calgary was a “turning point for Edmonton”

And Canucks are in “possibly the best position in the league”

That might have been the worst sequence of analysis I’ve ever heard.

 

[RedRocking]

SN just called The Pacific the best division - but I’ve been told countless times here that it is total trash.

I’m so confused! LOL

 

[kingsholygrail]

All the divisions look pretty good to me overall. Your two top heavy teams are Boston and Vegas.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Boy oh boy, that’s a weak ass call

 

[Kcb12345]

What a call lol

 

[Hierso]

Might go down as the most "wtf" calls of the season.

 

[Canucks LB]

Quinn hughes with another three-points already

 

[RedRocking]

The Nucks are absolutely a playoff team this year

 

[BrendanGaunce4Selke]

Quinn hughes with another three-points already

Quinn "Norris" Hughes

 

[nucksflailtogether]

Might go down as the most "wtf" calls of the season.

Absolutely hideous call and my fellow Canucks fans would be breathing fire about it if it went the other way. That's why I don't believe fans actually want consistent reffing...we just want reffing that is favourable to our favourite team. If we truly wanted consistent reffing the fans would be booing that crap.

 

[Canucks LB]

Quinn hughes is absolutely f***ing nuts

Uhhhh….. no? This is some odd logic.

That was the general consence back when ppl thought Edmonton was a contender
