Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 25” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Miller to NYR only option left
I agree with the tweet at 5:25.. I have been saying this, Everytime Rick Tocchet finds a line that works, he always shuffles the line away and it makes absolutely no sense… Im getting the sense that he is trying to get the other lines going by making the change, but if it works it works.. mess with the other lines, not the ones that work.
Everything about Vancouver sucks, the fans know nothing about hockey , the media are 🤡, it’s just a loser place , I lived in Vancouver for 35 years and I love the Canucks but we are a laughing stock , nobody wants to play here . Vancouver in general is a depressing place
I'm going to be honest I don't think many teams want JT Miller or Pettersson for what Van wants for them. It's honestly the worst situation because now that Carolina loaded up teams like the bruins and rangers are much less likely to go for the big fish. Instead of getting huge contracts they are going to do what the Capitals did load up on guys that aren't Old aka jt miller but get guys like Donato or Compher and don't have huge contracts.
yeah lego…..it was already reported that both NJ and the canes didnt have serious interest in Miller and they were giving low ball offers. Apparently the rangers have the best offer for miller and it DOES NOT include lafrienere.
dallas isnt a serious team for miller either, apparently. Apparently the only serious team for miller is the rangers.
How many more of these videos are you going to do man? I’m getting tired of these non-updates.
Hopefully Canucks can actually learn how to leverage value. If the mess up a miller/petey trade bye bye allvin
We're stuck with them let's make it work boys 🙏
Can someone please explain why JT is not doing too well this year?
the sedins aren't a fair comparison. they never floated around the ice invisible. they gave the same effort every night. they didn't have the raw talent pettersson has, they just worked hard.
A bunch of nobody media people covering a sport they themselves were never good at are creating a negative atmosphere nobody wants to play in!
Gotta move on from playoff talk, now gotta move on from trade talk. No one wants these guys. They must change the coaching staff. And before anyone says oh these guys have had 3 coaches and it's been the same, stop. It's a style problem. Green and Tocchet coach the same way. Choke the offense and hope you get more bounces. That's what this team needs to get away from. And there's nothing else to discuss because it's now clear no one is going anywhere right now.
Canucks players are not wanted when this team is bad.
Trade the 11.6 million dollar Swedish meatball.
We may be able to get a ham sandwich in exchange.
We honestly will never know for certain! My guess is that Tocchet has lost the room and the players have given up on him. He created animosity between the players by benching some and not others. Perhaps a coaching change is in order as that may be the only way to change the chemistry. Hoglander should not have been scratched last game as he was skating hard in their loss against Buffalo.
I am not sure I would pick Rantanen over EP40. Rantanen benefits from megastars on his line in Colorado. It is a close to an even trade, but……
Will it ever end?!
The only problem in Vancouver is the media
Rantanen is a top 10 NHL player for a long time now.
Both Petey and Miller are not top 10 NHL players and will never be either
Right now Necas is playing better than both Petey and Miller and it's not even close…
Necas is a 6.5 million cap hit…its a no brainer trade for the Hurricanes
Can we blame them? The players go to contenders instead of a sinking ship this season
Tik Tok has to go. He has lost the room. He doesn't know how to adapt and only had one coaching style. If he doesn't like you, he will bench you or limit your ice time. He ruined the offensive side of Kuzmenko and Hoglander.
His defense fisrt style has lead to a reduction in offense while the defensive numbers have sky rocketed.
Part of the coach's job is to create chemistry and fix ptoblems. He has failed on all fronts.
If Quinn is ok with it they should reload for next year. Trade Miller if that's what its come to. Trade ufa's, even Boesser if he wont sign. Get some kids up like D-Petey, Lekkermaki, Raty and anyone else worth a look.
Still try to get in but if it's not their year so be it. They still have Quinn for 2 more years so its not like they are going to take any assets or cap space from trades and chill. They will wheel and deal, be in on ufa's, spend near the cap..
I dont think they are as good as they were last year or as bad as they are this year. The real team is somewhere in the middle and def a playoff team. Look how close they are with all thats gone wrong this year.
Are we really going to just gloss over bald Auston Matthews? I think that might be the real story here.
Imagine being JT and EP and knowing that you are available and like only 3 teams care and your comparatives are Martin Necas and Kk or Phil Chytil. The 2 Canucks guys are going to be in the Pat Laine program together in a few weeks because it only gets worse from here for those 2.
Theres a lot of talk about the Canucks making moves but not much happening.
If you think petterson brings the playoff bump that Mico does your short a chromosome or two.
You’re gonna lose all your viewers by click baiting every title. I see any of your videos now and I don’t even click them cause you’re trying to do the same people dirty who give you views. It’s sad. Shows how low value your content is that you need to click bait every title.
