Its not him at this point as Benning dont know how to build a team lul


Yes, but this team is not buying into whatever coaching is telling them. Giving up that 5-1 goal showed a total lack of character and competitiveness.

So is Leon Draisaitl going to win the Hart again?

Also, unless for some ridiculous reason one of Draisaitl/McDavid doesn’t win the Hart this season, 5 of the last 6 Hart trophy winners will have been drafted by the Oilers.

Panthers seem like a team that can play hockey but I’m currently with the Comeauless stars


I see. Well when things fall apart for them, you know where to go. Sticking Out Tongue

how is no one on here talking about how McDavid just got his 600th career point against the same team he got his first


And he’s the 6th fastest player in NHL history to 600 points.

Although he has been in a bit of a slump recently. He only has 5 points in his last 4 games. Sticking Out Tongue

Maybe this year is the year Boeser finally gets traded after 3 years of him being rumored to be on the block

Cause you got to think a major change could be coming to the team besides a managerial cleanout

That would be awful. The only changes needed to be made right now are in coaching, management and ownership

Sure it might help to change them, but fact is: your in a world of pain with your dcore atleast this year and the following two seasons.

Getting OEL was ridiccilous as already your defense couldnt defend. Giving up 3.4/3.5 goals/game really aint a recipe for success.

OEL has been the least of our problems. He’s probably been our best defenceman defensively. Our right side is where it is all going wrong especially now that two out of three of our nhl RD were out

What was the ruling on the goal?


Guys that’s a good goal. Where else is he gonna go? He didn’t put his elbow out and wasn’t intentional, he had no where else to go aside from blackwoods head

I’m taking a leave of absence from being a Canucks fan. What team should I cheer for this year?


You should root for the Carolina Hurricanes - no explanation necessary.

Ehh, that's not a smart play by Sid, you don't flip a dude because you're losing 5-1

I do agree that's a good goal. However the mentality of he has nowhere else to go doesn't excuse the fact that he elbowed Blackwood in the head, penalties aren't called by intention, they're called by what happened

i had a weird idea overnight

"The Super Bowl Shuffle", but hockey.

for reference:


in my mind i imagined the Stars did it because one of the last things i watched on YouTube before i went to sleep is that clip of Denis Gurianov beatboxing

It's great in Capital One arena, the building is always loud and decently full no matter the opponent. Biscuit seems to be there every game I've been to, and every time they show him the crowd goes wild (always fun when the crowd only cheers for the dog, not even other Caps fans tears of joy ) Up in the 400s, where I normally am, you find all sorts of characters which makes for some interesting stories.
I have only ever been to one away game, but I can at least say Caps games are much better than Devils games (sorry devils fans).

This may seem crazy, but go with the Yotes. You can't be disappointed if you don't have any expectations to begin with
