You spend a lot of time talking about your favorite teams.
Lankinen would have signed for a lot less
If there's a bump, it will be modest and short-lived.
If a new fan is expecting the level of skill and competition we saw last night, they are about to be very disappointed.
Just an old, old guy's opinion. Henderson in '72.
Thanks for the video! Great info, details, and insights! Fun jersey! As a Blackhawks fan I can say that Kevin Lankinen will break your heart no matter the price.
That Lankinen contract is nuts,
A "foolhardy" Tkachuk?! Say it ain't so!
Some nice chemistry with marner and mcdavid. Add hymen and a solid line for the Olympics.
Canucks, buy out Petey's ridiculous contract….and the team will have additional cap space. I would say trade him, but after his dismal performance last week….coupled with the team already have a huge bag of pucks and a very decent washer and dryer…..
I would be extremely SAD if we trade Boeser. I don't want Prince Charming to go!!!
Werenski isn’t even on the same page as Quinn Hughes and makar.
Holy overpay 😂 lankinen getting above league minimum is crazy
Lankinen had outplayed all expectations and has been a good starting goalie. I think the signing is fair
Banking on a goalie after half of a season of stellar play with a five year deal at 4.5mil is both risky and unwise.
McDavid was open because matthews left him alone and chased into the corner when their D man was there. Brutal defensive play by matthews to leave McDavid so wide open.
It's a shame demko can't stay healthy, but fuck am I happy Lank the Tank is getting paid deservedly
I like Boeser as a person, and I'd love for the team to keep him, but the problem is that the roster needs a shakeup, which likely means a move is coming unless they come to a team friendly deal…
Well deserved extension for Lankinen. I don't feel like they'd pay him that much for that long if they had confidence in Demko staying healthy.
So 2 goalies making 9mill. Is demko done? Boeser trade coming or forsure out i feel like after the season
This will age very poorly. He’s not as good as fans think. His goals saved above expected is only at 1.6.
Take into account that Thompson (26.8), Daccord (20.4), and Blackwood (13.2) make only slightly more (Thompson: Δ 1.35, Daccord: Δ 0.5, Blackwood: Δ 0.75), and the picture is clear. A much better deal could have been made here.
Jack Campbell approves this contract lol. (JK…nice for Lankinen and his family…journeyman player making good)
4 Nations tournament was the best! They should just cancel the rest of the season.
Demko may have to retire and his leg may have to be amputated. It has not healed properly. As for the Canucks, with Demko out, this could really ruin the chances of the Canucks winning more and possibly getting eliminated from playoff contention.
It's crazy to me that a goalie with a .900ish sv is worth that money now.
RIP Mike Lange
What the hell happened to Artur Silovs? He had that one good playoff series against Nashville; now he chicken feed??
If he isn’t going to be Canucks Top 2 Goalie why not trade him? Example: Vegas would love him, with Samsonov not working out.. Even a team like the Red Wings. Since their goalies are older and looking for dominant goalie with that kid they drafted..
Now that McDavid has experienced a high level championship win, I bet he's really hungry for the Stanley Cup.
Lankinen is a kind of meh option. I guess the Canuckle heads don't plan on winning anytime soon because in goal he's not the answer. He's an okay backup but way overpaid. I heard all the gushing about what a good job Allvin has done. This doesn't help your case.
Thumbs up for the call out for a defensive defenseman award and naming it for Rod Langway, the Secretary of Defense.
Vancouver canucks burnt out Demko
What about the return of marchenko, jenner, and fabro as well as a huge call up from the ahl cleveland for the CBJ
