    Because they need some good press and surely this will do it!

    In a vacuum its a good signing. They would have been better off trading him for a haul though.

    I think he’s fine, but he’s shooting 25% and has 40 career games. It’s a big number for a light resume. But yes beyond that, he is a 20+ goal guy on an ELC. He could have brought back a nice haul, but instead Vancouver has another nice player getting relatively big money despite the fact the Canucks are in terrible shape with the cap. There is just no plan there.

    I am excited to see what kind of terrible trade Vancouver makes for Bo.

    I’d like to assume the numbers were way off between the two parties and that’s why they went ahead and made this extension, but that’s not a given :laugh:

    Harpur has been awful as a 6th D. Truly terrible.

    If the gameplan is him being our 7th or 8th, fine. Whatever. But if this means actual investment in him, yikes.

    The contract is meaningless but the messaging says a lot. That’s the fear.

    He hasn't shown enough consistency to get the big deal. IMO you bridge him for 2 years and suffer the consequences if he proves to be worth it.

    risky, him and suzuki might be lovers

    but I get it, plus he is a one trick poney that might get injured a lot due to his size(I think he will be fine injury wise)

    - Edwards has always stunk
    - His comments were terrible, for sure. But in the grand scheme of things with the crazy world we live in, this is fairly low on the list of awfulness. I wouldn’t call it a nothing burger, but I don’t see it as an huge deal either.
    - The apology was exactly what I would expect from Edwards - not good.

    Love the dads trips. They’re always hammered. The blues did a moms trip earlier this year. The moms alway were tearing up when their sons scored. Hilarious in contrast

    Latendresse, who now has a podcast in here talked about his dad’s trip and one night they were all out. His dad doesn’t speak English, Owen nolan is as frigid a human being as you will ever see and Latendresse is having a good time but started looking for his dad, the dude was in a deep conversation with Owen nolan at the bar. Arms over shoulder and everything.

    i am not doing the story justice but how he told that story was hilarious. And of course his dad threw up all over their hotel room that night .

    he was in Minnesota back then

    Also, I know some people that know some people

    Bruins are winning the cup this year

    matthews is overrated

    mcdavid is impossible to defend

    mcavoy is a top 5 defenseman in the nhl

    they are trying to tell themselves to calm down now and keep some and peak later but it doesn’t work, everything they do ends up in a win no matter what. Jokingly obviously but still amazing what they are doing. They are all buying in hard

    Yep, extending a guy who has no part of your rebuild is odd. Just trade him and get the maximum value. This is just delaying things with less value.

    That would not be a good deal for MTL. Fewer years and less term. Give him a prove it deal, he hasn't earned it.

    It was a tough night for the Bruins fan last night that was taunting my section after both Bruins goal then went into a shell after Hedman scored and sprinted out of the arena when the clock hit 0:00. He was a decent troll for ~55 minutes but couldn’t finish the job.

    makes me wonder what is wrong with American players. They all seem so soft mentally. Matthews is the poster boy. No wonder they never win anything.
