If you’re a Vancouver Canucks fan, you provide no insightful knowledge about the game of hockey whatsoever, so when an Oilers fan speaks to you, shut up and listen.

Quinn Hughes when asked about why he looks like he’s crying all the time:
“You know we’ve played them (Edmonton) 4 times this season and won all 4. Do you guys remember McDavids media availability after the season opener? Don’t think I’m the one always crying.”
#Canucks
Rick Dhaliwal says Myers also left money on the table to stay in Vancouver.
That’s now 4 players (Hronek, Blueger, Joshua, and Myers) who have all taken discounts to stay and win in Vancouver.
#Canucks
- Missed boarding by Nurse
- Missed high stick by McDavid
- Missed embellishment by Hyman
- Missed slew foot by Kane
Kelly Sutherland can rest easy now knowing he did his job.
For no particular reason at all, here’s Pettersson saying he’s happy in Vancouver, likes the city and the fans, and would be open to a long term extension.

NCAA defencemen points per game in their D+1 year:
Charlie McAvoy - .68
𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 - .𝟲𝟲
Cale Makar - .62
Brock Faber - .44
Also while getting very little powerplay time.
#Canucks
Tom Willander had higher points per game (.66) in his D+1 year than Cale Makar (.62) had in his D+1 year.
Willander was a +28, Makar a +9.
He also did not get any powerplay time.
He is untouchable btw
#Canucks
Since this post:
- 4-0-0
- 12 goals for (3.00 GF/GP)
- 3 goals against (0.75 GA/GP
- 22.22% power play
- 100% penalty kill
- Beat defending Stanley Cup Champions 3-1
- Shutout the Jets 5-0
Turns out top teams can have a rough stretch and still be good!
#Canucks
Has this bad stretch altered the perception of what the
#Canucks
are capable of this season? Will Rick Tocchet risk losing his players if he continues to speak candidly about them to the media?

are now down 5-0 to Edmonton. They are 10 points back of a playoff spot with some games in hand, and 2 games left before the trade deadline. As we reported yesterday, Kyle Dubas is listening on multiple guys. We'll see how active he'll be this week.
“The Canucks are selling their prospect system for a rental 😂😂”
We still have Lekkerimaki, Willander, Podkolzin, Bains, EP2, Silovs, Räty and even Höglander if you count him as one.
The Canucks have re-built their prospect system so well and people don’t realize it.

Oh yeah, he was also a +15 on one of the worst defensive teams in the league.
#Canucks
DeBrusk-Pettersson-Sprong
Höglander-Miller-Boeser
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Heinen-Suter-Sherwood
That is an incredible forward group. *Almost* everyone has 20 goal potential. Only question is can the defence break the puck out.
#Canucks
For what it's worth here are other teams to lose 4 in a row this season:
- Bruins (x2)
- Rangers
- Panthers
- Stars
- Avalanche
- Jets
- Hurricanes
- Leafs (x2)
- Knights

were the only top team in the league to avoid a 4 game-losing streak. had to happen at some point.
I understand why any hockey fan from Calgary isn’t rooting for Edmonton in Game 7.
But any other Canadian hockey fan who’s rooting against the Oilers because your own incompetent favourite team has made you completely jaded is one of the dumbest takes out there.
Defencemen goal differential without their team's top 3 scorers:
Quinn Hughes - +5
Evan Bouchard - +1
Cale Makar - -23
Not many defencemen can drive-play with anyone they play with as Quinn Hughes can.

#Norris
One thing is for sure
All the analyst and media who said this would be easy for the Oilers or it would be a blowout was wrong.
Canucks showed they can play against top teams.
No one should be sleeping on the

next season
J.T Miller is 20 points over a point per game, on pace for 40 goals and 106 points.
Let’s not forget everyone who wanted to trade him for scraps last season!
#Canucks
Still in awe over this play. Handle the bouncing puck, fake the backhand, bank it to yourself and break Nyquist’s ankles all in one motion is absolutely incredible.
