Oh.. i woke up at 4am to watch the game to cheer for canada and saw the golden goal

#Canucks GM Jim Benning in @PierreVLeBrun interview: "Jacob Markstrom's going to be our number one goalie going forward"

[hong57]

wow really.. who has markstrom in our league?

[Lee]

wow really.. who has markstrom in our league?

Yeah we really should have this type of information documented somewhere.

[kyuss]

Well.. i hace no reason to watch the olympics

international hockey fans should boycott and just stop watching the NHL (or using their crappy website) during the Olympics

they don't know im watching them anyway coz i watched them on..... you know that haha..
i used to catch every single leafs game on satrdauy or sunday hk time.. (so mostly hockey night in canada, and unless leafs played on friday night too)
but after the leafs sucked i watch my bbkl team players LOL.. so mostly canes, nyi and wsh games.. im sure i will catch some sens games next year to watch chabot.. i think i will watch more leafs going forward too.. afterall they are my "hometown" team and i will always want them to win a cup.. hopefully i will get to go to the parade on youge street...
ya.. i definitely won't watch the olympics if theres any nhl players.. the level of play is just not up to par.. maybe i will just take a break from hockey all together during the month..

Montreal. Now has a Markstrom and Talbot tandem

I think if NHL fans' focus would totally shift from NHL to winter olympics competitions during those couple of weeks they would definitely notice..

[hong57]

sorry typo i meant if theres isn't any nhl players..*

[hong57]

well.. i can think of one thing that may change my mind... that is if the 2017 draftees makes the olympic team then i can see Vilardi play.. haha
still.. that will be quite laughable comparing to previous olympic competition with nhlers

[bills09]

Let the world junior team go to the Olympics

[Shoalzie]

wow really.. who has markstrom in our league?

Chuck...and Markstrom was available at the expansion draft.

[Shoalzie]

Let the world junior team go to the Olympics

Take 18-24 year olds not under an NHL contract...junior, college and any players under minor league or Euro league contracts.

it won't happen, because of games in the middle of the night....no one will watch.

once I know the score of a game, i don't want to watch it, just not the same.

Still not sold on Van going with Markstrom 100%... gotta imagine they grab a solid "backup" and end up with a 1a/1b again

I've been reading that Benning wants to keep Miller. Wonder what split on starts would be.

[Loki]

False alarm

Just talked to Jim Benning to clarify his Markstrom quote about "being the starter moving forward." He meant eventually, not now. #Canucks

[Shoalzie]

I think that statement validates his interest in keeping Miller around.

sounds like it ... what a shitty franchise
