Ben Scrivens to EDM for 3rd.

Wow that's pretty cheap.

 

[Lapa]

3rd for Scrivens? That is a solid deal

 

[Avder]

LA got ripped off.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

Seems pretty cheap given the year he has had, but then again any goalie playing for LA looks lights out. So I would hope Fletch wouldn't give up more than a 3rd for this guy. Watch how bad he is now that he plays in Oil country. Earth to Oilers GM ... trade for defense

 

[Ban Hammered]

And now getting Hendy for Dubnyk makes more sense.
Edm needed grit and Hendy does bring that.

 

[MNjens]

Well Anaheim is only winning 9-1 tonight against Vancouver. Wow

 

[AJ Thelen]

Scrivens plays solid in LA over .930%

Scrivens ends up with under .900% in EDM

Edm adresses needs of a starter once again after this season because Scrivens as well as anyone else they've had since Roli, gets bad stats.

EDM still doesnt undertsnad that its their defence that sucks..

 

[Engebretson]

And now getting Hendy for Dubnyk makes more sense.
Edm needed grit and Hendy does bring that.

Yep. Scrivens and Hendricks for Dubnyk and a 3rd seems a whole lot more reasonable now that the other shoe has dropped.

Also, saw this on the main board, but this was the Canucks twitter from last night's annihilation by the Ducks:

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 4h
681st goal of Selanne's career, feels like his 681st goal versus the #Canucks.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 4h
Tanev to the box. It's just one of those nights. Anyone still following? Hello? HELLO?!?

Quote:Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 4h
If we start a petition to avoid playing in California forever, will you sign it?

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 3h
ONE DOWN, LIKE NINE TO GO!

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 3h
Okay. I'm out.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 3h
Ducks get a 7-minute power play out of that? And it's 5-on-3 Anaheim? SERENITY NOW. SERENITY NOW.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 3h
THIS JUST IN: #Canucks will be down a man forever.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 3h
ducks score. that will be all we tweet from now on.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 2h
ducks score - but there's only 37.2 seconds left. good luck getting 10.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 2h
What a night. Thanks for following along, mom - since I know you're the only one left. #DJout

 

[DeuceMN]

^ Ahaha

And we can barely score two goals half the time...

****ing Ducks. I still hate them from 07.

9 goals... Geesus...

 

[BigT2002]

How that team is doing it is beyond me TBH. Looking at the lineup, it isn't THAT impressive. Bruce is doing a fantastic job that's for sure.

 

[DeuceMN]

^ But coaching doesn't make much of a difference at this level!

It's all on the players

That was fun.

I don't know how they're doing it either, especially since it's basically the same damned team as last years, with only one major change.

Getzlaf and Perry though man... Damn I wish we had a player of that caliber. And I hate Perry, but geesus he's good.

Come on Nino!

 

[Avder]

I hope the ducks come crashing back to earth big time. Nose dive straight into the ground starting in their next game.

 

[AJ Thelen]

Canucks is my best argument everytime there is talk about coaching and the value of it at work.

Torts.. LOL

I feel like Nucks players got mad because he got hired and is playing like **** to get him canned..

 

[Avder]

Watching Canucks-Yotes.

I don't care who wins as long as it's in regulation.

 

[Avder]

Canucks lose in regulation.

Excellent.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Canucks lose in regulation.

Excellent.

I would think you would cheer for them to beat the Coyotes.

 

[Avder]

I would think you would cheer for them to beat the Coyotes.

We're directly competing with both of them, and they're both so close that the best outcome of this game was ending in regulation, regardless of winner.

Vancouver is tied with us in points and has one game in hand.
Phoenix is 4 points back with 3 games left in hand.

Going out on a limb and assuming those games in hand are all wins, that puts both teams up on us by two points. Had this game gone to an extra session, that would have meant that with all games in hand as wins, one team would be up three on us and the other two.

Hence, I didn't care who won, only that it ended in regulation.

 

[Ladde]

Vancouver seems to be sliding big time so we can definetly pass them in the standings.

 

[llamapalooza]

If you like offense... Sharks are leading Tampa Bay 5-4 after 2 periods. Marty St-Louis has scored all 4 for TB so far.

 

[rafterman]

2 seconds in and Vancouver and Calgary each have 5 guys in the box

 

[Avder]

Haha that is hilarious.

 

[Dampland]

2 seconds in and Vancouver and Calgary each have 5 guys in the box

The way they are gooning it up lately, the Casucks should just trade for

Parros
McGratten
Konopka
Carcillo
Ott
Wilson


Might as field a Slapshot roster!

And then Torts tried to charge after the Calgary coaching staff later on. What is going on.

EDIT: Video of the brawl at beginning of the game.

Kellan Lain was playing his first NHL game and flew his parents in to watch him play. He was ejected after two seconds of being on the ice

 

[NHL1674]

Torts making his team become an even bigger joke.
