Everyone shut up about the NHL Trade Deadline! Josh Ho-Sang has a new song out. open.spotify.com/album/42iBuU...

Could you imagine the storylines right now if the Rangers didn’t give up their pick last year?

I think the Canucks look about as dejected and hopeless as the end of the Meruelo-era Coyotes did. Knowing your franchise just isn’t as serious as the rest of the league from off-ice standpoints sucks. Knowing you’re going to be outcoached sucks. Not knowing where you’ll be sucks.

I think the Canucks are going to need to get creative in order to move their UFAs and get anything for them. And I don’t know how creative the group as a whole is.

without going to far into it because I don't have the time, if the ask for Robert Thomas is 4 1sts and you're a contending team, that's an instant smash accept. Getting a 1C for who has 5 more seasons at $8.25M for that is a bargain.

the oilers adding a defensive d is good, but it ultimately doesn't matter when your d structure sucks

OH HECK YEAH.

A fun game to play this trade deadline will be “is it Eklund or AI?”

Have we ever considered that Uncle Mike’s magic mushrooms zapped all the mojo out of the Canucks?

Make sure you get out and go to a game if you haven’t yet btw. Super fun atmosphere and hockey!

tfw it’s nap time at the #Goldeneyes game

The Kings should’ve made a coaching change after that horrid challenge Hiller made in game 3 against the Oilers last year.

The big thing about the Canucks rebuild to me will be whether or not the organization gets serious about supporting the team in a path to victory. It’s hard to win when your non-roster spend is closer to the Meruelo-era Arizona Coyotes than a top 20 NHL team.

Still absolutely wild Foote’s still the coach of this team lol

Do the Canucks break 55 points this season?

the canucks, once again, look like a team that has negative vibes. And I think negative might be too positive

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I hope our almost 5 month old figures out how to sleep for more than 1-2 hours at a time because sleep deprivation sucks.

I've never been more upset getting exactly the food that I've ordered in my life because they didn't include the free cookie.

kill all fake lovers

1. Here's a little thread on one of Canada's greatest athletes who was largely forgotten by most of his home country: the three-sport phenom "Fabulous" Fred Thomas.

I get why the Canucks are hesitant to trade Hronek, but he’s the exact player type that generally ages poorly and that teams are likely to overpay for. He’s the player left that could really, really accelerate a rebuild if they nailed a trade.

Thought Tye Kartye was going to be a legit NHLer, especially with how good he was in his first pro season. I do wonder how much of it is poorer development though

The Canucks putting out a statement that Myers is out due to trade related reasons despite the trade not being all-but-done sure puts a lot of pressure on him to waive his NTC

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?” “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

I think the biggest market inefficiency that teams could exploit at the trade deadline is acquiring good players with term. The cap increase over the next two seasons and lack of UFA talent is going to mean you get a lot of extra value on players with term

I guess Sam Girard probably isn’t quite as good as I remember and guessing his numbers are inflated from being on a good team, but feels weird that the Avs had to add a pick there? I wonder if no double retention is forcing some of these moves

The CBC bobsleigh commentary is hilarious. Just absolutely rip into every little mistake but also praise teams when it’s due

MacKinnon 5 mins after he got off the ice:

Rewatching this because I like pain and suffering but Jack Hughes made three incredible plays. Boxed out McDavid, poked it past a pinching Makar, and then the finish on the shot.

It’s a good thing our 4MO won’t remember the Jays, Whitecaps, Team Canada Women, and Team Canada Men heartbreaking losses. At least the Seahawks won?

I think that McDavid/Makar/MacKinnon shift might’ve been some of the least game situation awareness I’ve seen from all of them.

“Olympic hockey is the best form” Yeah because you don’t have constant annoying scrums after the whistle and teams aren’t trying to injure each other like the Stanley Cup playoffs

The Hagel-Horvat-Jarvis line was fantastic tonight

There have been way too many missed empty nets for Canada this game man

Mitch is pissed and rightfully so. Fully planned to kill that minute but whoever was behind him there didn’t get the deal

Why did no one listen to Marner there

That’s just an unlucky high stick but it ignores the fact Canada should’ve been on the pp

That’s an inexcusable non-call on the too many men. The puck’s there. There were 7 on the ice.

What a cataclysmic non-call

How was that not too many men?!? How was that not a goal?!?

“Binnington has been his best when Canada cannot afford to give up another goal” And why can’t they afford to give up another goal 🫠

That Makar goal is a good example as to why I think Bedard should’ve been here. You need elite shooters who can cleanly beat goalies at this level. He is one of the best in the league at that

Let's freaking go.

LFG!!!!!!!

There were a lot of Choices on that 5-on-3

it is very (not) funny seeing how much half of the Canadian blueliners struggle to make a breakout pass

Great rush by Boldy but, uh, Binnington wyd?

FYI the #Goldeneyes STH event signup link goes live tomorrow at 10 AM now instead of Monday. I don’t get why they moved it forward a day.
