A couple of Bill Guerin quotes about Quinn Hughes today, who didn’t sound all that confident: “There’s nothing to talk about right now. What am I going to do, say ‘Please, please, please?’” On the hypothetical in which QH still hasn’t made a decision after a while: “I haven't really decided, at some point in time I'll have to try to figure things out and see what’s best for the team. I know one thing’s for sure: having Quinn on our team is what’s best for the team. And, you know, I don't know. I’ll be completely honest with you, I don’t know. I don't know what’s going to happen. I don't know what I’m going to do. There’s no date. What we're doing right now is focusing on our team and trying to win hockey games. That’s really it. I think some people want to make this more complicated than it really is — being the media. And it’s not that complicated." #NJDevils #MNWild

Quinn Hughes after ruining the Wild's prospect pool:

Kyle Kulinski on Trump: “He’s a blackmailed pedophile. That’s what we’re looking at here, a man who is completely and utterly owned. Trump sues everybody for any reason, but weird, he’s never sued anybody who called him a pedophile. Strange! He wages lawsuits over polling data he doesn’t like, but he never sues anybody that calls him a pedophile. What does that tell you?”

Toronto Sports Network is jealous that someone on a different Canadian team is getting attention for his interviews. Nope. Can't have that. We need to keep giving all the media attention to those boring interviews by Matthews, Tavares, and the rest of the Leafs.

Oh look, more evidence that pettersson was tough to coach, work and play with, and had a bad reputation and low stock around the league—exactly what those criticizing him have been saying all along. But I guess it's good he's finally producing now when there's zero pressure. – at Richmond, British Columbia
To be clear, it was Satiar that talked about Pettersson's reputation. Here's the full quote.

Riddle me this #Canucks fans: for 2 years a big chunk of the fanbase stand by EP40 after he gets the bag ($11.6) and then falls off precipitously Fans dogpile QH43 after giving everything he had on the ice, bc he lets up for a couple gms at the end due to the epic disfunction…

How are the 19 year olds doing in the AHL? Well, Braeden Cootes is an absolute gamer.

Anyone still wishing Tom Gaglardi won the ownership battle for the #Canucks instead of Aquilini needs to read this. He's essentially stealing public money meant for poor schools and children to fund his arena. That's about as "Evil Piece of Sh*t Billionaire" as you can get.
Plano public schools plan to contribute $250M in tax revenue to the Dallas Stars' future billion-dollar arena. The funds would come from recapture, which is money property-rich school districts give back to the state to be distributed to poorer schools.

A lot of fans got mad at me for saying the Buium contract was a big gamble when it was signed. I'm not overreacting to how bad he's played after just 8 games this season, but people should at least admit that there IS a lot of risk with that contract (more than others).
Unpopular opinion, but the #Canucks are taking a MASSIVE gamble on a guy with only a year of NHL experience and 26 points for an offense-first defenseman. Put it this way. I don't think the reaction to this contract would be as positive if the previous mgmt regime signed it.

Anyone else noticing that the rage baiting political posts have almost completely stopped since Ukraine hit those Russian data centres? Another reminder that a lot of what you see on here is not reality

This article outlines the real issue with Eby's $10/day daycare fiasco. It's more about his government not prioritizing lower income families and allowing rich families to access the program in general. The fact that he's also using it for his own kids is just the cherry on top
The @bcndp's failure to create the universal $10 a day child care system it promised in 3 elections over 8 years has caught up to it this election in a sharp, pointed way. My latest in @BIVnews: biv.com/news/commentary/rob-…

"Many well-to-do British Columbians have been quietly winning $10-a-day spots for years, while others at the poverty line suffer on wait lists. It’s how the system was (stupidly) designed," says @RobShaw_BC. "That successive NDP administrations defended this ridiculousness, and refused to change it, is the real scandal." #bcpoli

Kevin Lankinen is under contract at $4.5M AAV until 2031. It doesn't matter now, but that's going to be an issue if he still sucks in a few years when the Canucks are hopefully coming out of their rebuild.

Vancouver fans shitting on Tocchet will always be weird to me. Philly sucks. Have you seen that line up? The Petterson fans blaming Tocchet for him being useless for past 2.5 years is like Trump blaming Biden. Petterson fan boys is a fn cult. Weirdos.
The Flyers have now lost all of their first 4 games (0-2-2) to start the season, and have been outscored 17-5... What's going on in Philly? 😬

EP40 doing his best Scott Stevens impression to create a goal. Just as we all predicted.
PETEY HIT TO O'CONNOR GOAL!

First coaching mistake of the season for Malhotra tonight. He left Lankinen in goal for WAAAAAAY too long before pulling him. No goalie should have to endure 8 goals. #Canucks
