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 26” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

The Wings will be the right decision, don’t worry
The media has lost their minds.
Canucks will never get the full value of quinn hughes. No matter who they get in return it will look like an absolute fleecing in 2 years
I have absolutely zero confidence in this management group! They will definitely screw it up. Look at the results of the past two years. Enough said.
Shouldve kept Bo instead of that cancer Miller, thats on management and Aquaman.
I think trading Quinn for Hischier would be a mistake. If your goal is to rebuild, why on earth would you trade one 26yo for another, that's also UFA in 2027 and has no loyalty to your team whatsoever? Especially after playing 8 years in Jersey and only winning 1 playoff series, I think Nico would want to test the market for a contending team. That also goes for any player on any team, without term and that close to UFA.
Microwave a Burrito>> How about Homer`q Hoagie???
it's ok vancouver as a city just has the mediocre mind set
I laugh at the idea of Quinn leaving
i wish this city would stop talking about trading Quinn.. we are going to manifest it all with our pessimism every time.. we need to keep our good players.. not trade them. come on everyone!! get rid of the management team!! and keep quinn!!
Aquilini cares more about club profits than winning a cup!! eyes need to be taken off of profits and put onto the ultimate prize. whatever we focus on expands and im pleading with fans and these media people to stop talking about trading our best players
Zero confidence in management in Van city
KEEP QUINN HUGES DUMP MANEGMENT
Can we trade FA 🤔
exactly vancouver's NHL organization is a dumpster fire
They want to stay "competitive" translation Aquilini wants the playoff money $$$$$$$ doesnt care if we go round 1 2 or anything just make the playoffs and get the $$$$$ that is his ONLY CONCERN does not care about the team or the city or the FANS only his GREED FIRE THE OWNERS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Alvin gets more than a bag of practice pucks I will be shocked. However, the fans will be told, "it was the best deal we could get".
If the Canucks get any worse, they'll have to play in the AHL next year.
