Gotta love how hypocritical Nike looks.
Glad that no matter what is happening with HNIC that Friedman is returning. He is by far the best guy they have soley cus he has insider knowledge and you know he will drop a bomb or two live to keep everyone interested.
Ron McLeans old head needs to retire. Watching him mess up everything he said during the playoffs was brutal
My early access code didn't work on my lunch break and by the time it was my next break the only Vancouver vs Toronto tickets left were $420 per ticket 🤯 . I'm a Canucks fan, my husband is a Toronto fan, and we live in Alberta, $850 for just game tickets is crazy!
That's a over pay for Colton but good for him getting paid
March 31 will be Easter Sunday in 2024. Post-game Easter dinner?
Very happy that Colton has been signed. Stay healthy Ross!
Such a dumb signing. We should have kept Newhook.
If something isn't done before Samsonov signs, they could be over the cap (even including the 10% allowable)
I was looking forward to seeing less of Ron McLean's stupid face lol…. damn
very happy wahlstrom bet on him self and signed the contract. i'll be even happier if he scores career highs this season and gets paid nicely to stay with the nyi next season. enjoy the sorokin show on 11/15.
I'd be quite happy if they got rid of everyone except for bieksa
Wondering if Wahlstrom is still on the Islanders roster as of Nov 15th.
THANKS!! and awesome for yon if thats the horvat return game
oh….you have to have Ron Mclean again. Ouch.
I was one of those Tampa fans hyping up Ross the Boss. Always liked his play and he deserved more ice time. Another good player lost to the cup tax but I’m happy he got PAID!🤑💸💰
Glad your able to see more games this year.
How does Nike constantly escape criticism considering their shoes are made from child labor??? The hypocrisy is amazing lmaoo
LOL at how Nike is on its high horse considering all the problems in other sports leagues that they turn a blind eye to, and don't get me started on WHERE their shoes are made
prices to games are ALWAYS expensive over the holidays
I'm curious Shannon when you drive from home to a Canucks game.
Are u able to park at a rapid transit and ride into the Arena, or do u have to park close, pay expensive fees?
When I lived in Calgary, it was so nice with the light Rail transit LRT , to park at the nearby station and ride up to the saddledome
What contract is better ? Newhook at 2.9 mil or Colton at 4mil per season
I love Ross Colton on Tampa.. he’s a beast..
I'm happy with the colton deal. It's about 500k annually over what I expected but i definitely won't complain about that
For the expensive Flyers at Canucks tix, I've noticed for my hometown Caps that tix are usually expensive from Christmas to New Yesrs since folks are using up vacation time and taking off of work. Kind of in line with the more expensive weekend tix
It's SamsOnov. That's the correct pronunciation
Would be interested to know how Shannon ranks the various areas to sit around the arena.
Nice jersey sir. My favorite Cannucks jersey. That and Abbotsford.
You should come watch a game in Carolina. You will witness first hand why WE ARE THE LOUDEST HOUSE IN THE NHL!
I think in 2 years Newhooks deal will look amazing vs Colton at 4m
Ron needs to go. Bieska can stay
Colton contract seems like an overpay on the surface but Avs always bring the best out of their players so who knows
Russ Colton was a product of linemates in TB. He's a fringe 2nd liner. And not enough skill to be a bottom six forward. Stats aside, he was invisible this past playoffs when the TB elites needed him the most.
Nike backs out, but has no issue using sweatshop slave labour…
The new Sammy Girard contract.
Please get rid of the corpse of Ron MacLean
Why hasn't the Canucks extended Elias Pettersson yet? It's over if not done by puck drop. He will have no option but to coast so not to risk a career injury.. . (Normal Canucks front office sabotage on player stats since the beginning…) The Vancouver Canucks office is the worst in the NHL (now that Montreal got rid of Marc Bergevin.)
Also, Boeser has to be traded this season (and early… perhaps after he sheds some lazy fat during training camp.) The receiving team will not take a fat corpse… They would some time this AND next years to figure out if he can be arsed. Everyone knows that his stats were skewed by being spoon-fed by the Sedinds… and Pettersson. Boeser needs to be spoon-fed…
J.T. Miller also has to go… He is the new (worse!) OEL… Signed until 2030 – Aaahhahahaa! He can only be arsed to play when embarrassed… He is a fair weather player that top-notch team mates can milk things out of… Hell, Vancouver might need to soak up some of his contract too… He's a garbage man right now… If dropped in to A+ team – he will shine for a year or two (maybe three?) before becoming the "new" OEL.
Plan:
Trade: J.T. Mille and Boeser… J.T. Miller to Toronto and over-pay for Nylander a bit. Nylander would be the imaginative skater and player Pettersson could use for years to come… WITH Kuzmenkov = DEADLY! Boeser should be traded for anything… If nothing else – give him away for some draft picks and towels.
J.T. Miller could probably be embarrassed to finally step up, and help bring the whiners in Toronto the cup.
Happy the Avs got the Colton signing done. Now need to sign Ben Meyers and see if there is any more room for additions. Would love to see the Avs play in Vancouver, the closest city to me. Will check out ticket prices now.
Fanatics coming into Team Canada too?
Colten yeah good upside still 4mil too pricey for Bolts with no cap space but Avs have space so take a small risk
I think Kelly Hrudy’s time is up. He was good at one time but that time was long ago. There’s a spot for Jennifer somewhere in broadcasting but it’s not on a panel. She’s good as a color commentator.
If Wahlstrom stays healthy he’ll easily score 20 goals. It just might not be with the islanders.
I think Colton got roughly 2.5M per year too much. I understand this four million, for one year, if Colorado needs to get to the salary cap. Other than that, it is nothing short of pure insanity. With this money, Colton has to score 35 goals and 75 points on season-to-season basis.
Man I’d kill for Vancouver ticket prices down here in Denver, a ticket to see avs vs yotes is 3 times what that Vancouver vs islanders game is!
I'm glad you're kind of taking a break and going to more hockey games
THANKS
Just curious – do you ever drive down to Seattle for a game?
