Talbot poo poo and Edmonton poo poo. Awesome. I just wish I could get rid of this niggling feeling that they're going to wind up drafting first overall again.

Me too, but then I remember they'll ruin and turn on Dahlin in a few years too and it's okay.

Losing Gudas fucks things up quite a bit too. The only defensemen left with much experience right now are Ghost and Manning.

This is by far the worst they've looked all year. And they were shut out in back to back games two weeks ago.

They're better than this game shows, but they're pretty banged up right now and are just a mess defensively. Alt's an AHL lifer, Haag's young and inexperienced, ghost is mediocre-to-OK defensively, you get the idea.

Neuvirth looked like he'd coated his glove and trapper in butter and I'm not sure Manning is aware of where he is today.

You have seen the defense Vancouver is running out there right now, yes? Right now it looks like:

Edler - Pouliot
Del Zotto - Biega
Hutton - Gudbranson

Hutton, Edler, Del Zotto and (amazingly) Pouliot have proven themselves to be perfectly adequate NHL defencemen this year.

Manning will still start over Sanheim when AMac is healthy and Gudas is out of time out. Fire Hakstol.

Weal had a really good finish to the season last year and seemed to prove himself.

You're not wrong, however, Gudbranson is worth at least 3 negative players.


Also, Weber hurt and not playing tonight for Montreal.

Seemed to.

The entire team, outside of the G/Coots/Jake line has been snakebitten and unable to score. Also the middle six is in constant flux this year since Hakstol is convinced the team will disintegrate without one or both of Wiese or Lehtera on the roster. Fire Hakstol.

That's Travis Green hockey. Wide open until they take a lead, then drop to zero forechecker and five guys lined up on the blue line.

Somehow it's still more fun than the "system" Willie Desjardins employed last year.
