@JFreshHockey Myers is at his best in a zone-based defense. Seems like a better fit.

I don't love this as the answer to the "who will play with Thomas Harley" problem. He's done his best work with guys who can move the puck and Myers can be an adventure there. Murphy might have been a better option. But we'll see.

Tyler Myers, acquired by DAL, is a tall veteran two-way defenceman. Not having a great year but he's chilled out considerably and spends less time with the puck and more time using his reach on D these days. Still very turnover prone and takes a ton of penalties. #TexasHockey

@DavidGogoBlues Playing solo, I swear his eyes would roll back and he'd channel a someone genuine from the past through his playing....

We lost a Mighty King today. Mellow down easy to John Hammond.

Johnny Cash was born on this day in 1932! My first concert!

@HANG24 @tyson_cole and Pettersson from elite to 2-way solid. Do we need four lines playing like 3rd line players all the time?

@tyson_cole Not every player is gonna be a d minded player. I fuckin hate these types of coaches. They’d turn Ovie into a 15 goal scorer

#Canucks HC Adam Foote on Lekkerimäki not playing back half of the 3rd or OT: “It’s more on the defensive side. He’s getting there, for sure. The more he’s with us the more he’ll know certain things and the trust will be there. It’s just slight movements defensively. That’s just being young. He’s a smart guy. He’ll get there pretty quick.”

@sekeresandprice @mattsekeres @justBlakePrice @JeffMarek @Uber_Canada As more teams fall out of contention, more and more proven players become available to choose between, shifting sl8ghtly more from a seller's to a buyer's market with diminishing returns for depth players.

"Right now the marketplace is saying no to a 1st round pick for Kiefer Sherwood...be patient and maybe the action happens in a month, when there is a new reality heading into the deadline" #Canucks @mattsekeres | @justBlakePrice | @JeffMarek Presented by @Uber_Canada #cravethestats #uberpartner

@TheStanchion Either way, as more sellers enter the market, the lower the returns. Those who sold depth in December were smart.

Rangers in their “it’s a retool NOT a rebuild!!” phase. Good luck bro.

@BobGolen Should've put Maurice on the cup!

@DavidGogoBlues @thebeatles In the top five

The Beatles released Rubber Soul 60 years ago today. Where do you rate it among their albums? @thebeatles

@DavidGogoBlues @chly1017fm Always great. Really started to get into his music with Rusty Reed and Johnny V in Triple Threat back in the day.

Grant Payne AKA The Sasquatch will be paying tribute to Tim Williams on CHLY Radio 101.7 in Nanaimo at 10 pm PST tonight. He has asked me to join him for a bit to talk about our great friend and artist. Available online worldwide, as well. @chly1017fm

...because: why not? Heral Street Brew Works have a nice mix of options for a lazy Sunday. The Moneypenny ESB particularly hit the spot for me today. #craftbeer

@ThomasDrance @Hockey_Robinson @JFreshHockey I think that's a reasonable analysis, but one with notable risks. You do need to take risks to put a team over the top, but this one will come with term. Are we there? Or are we paying for Jay Beagle at this rate the last 4 years?

@FirstBohdog @Hockey_Robinson @JFreshHockey Yes, but paying either for producing pts is the wrong way to look at it. You’re paying Bennett for the dawg, physicality, leadership, clutch play, connective offence and ability to win vs toughs. You’re paying Suter for the versatility, defensive acumen + 5on5 goal scoring.

What cap hit would you be willing to pay Sam Bennett to play for your team?

@ThomasDrance @Hockey_Robinson @JFreshHockey Is 5 more points than Pius Suter worth an additional $5-7M? Or do you find the next one via trade or draft and development?

@Hockey_Robinson @JFreshHockey The scarce resource equation has flipped. It’s no longer going to be about cap space, it’s going to be about talent. He’s good and unique and having him on your team > flexibility or marginal value.

@patersonjeff Load management hasn't made the NHL yet.

here's the list of #NHL goalies that started 55+ games this season. Only Oettinger plays into 2nd round

Name a relief pitcher. The first one that pops in your head. Bonus points for non-closers. I’ll start:

@BluelineBardown @patersonjeff Add Silayev

how many calls are #Canucks getting on DPetey after today’s presser?

@DavidGogoBlues @BigStarBand How big is your house!!!!!

I was working on a new ballad on a 12 string last night and my son said that it sounds like Big Star trying to write “Tears In Heaven”! Should I be A - pissed off and offended B - Happy that my parenting skills have given him ears to make this astute assessment ??? @BigStarBand

@DavidGogoBlues Fantastic!! Sad that they are gone, though...

Here are 2 cool Throwback Tuesday pics! Frank Zappa offers his guitar to Jeff Beck to play in image 1. Leon Russell, Duck Dunn, Freddie King and Don Nix in the studio in image 2. All of these fellas were fantastic!

@Hamalytics Isn't it obvious that the dump and chase doesn't result in successful entries very often with this lineup?

#Canucks Zone Entry Attempts by Period

5v5 Zone Entries for the #Canucks vs the Blues 30 Controlled Attempts (26 Successful) 37 Uncontrolled Attempts (5 Successful)

@Fender Whatever Albert Collins did...

Here's a special #TeleTuesday from Yuriy Shishkov — featuring two humbuckers. What mods would you make on your custom Tele?

@patersonjeff Is that due to inadequate conditioning or an inability to keep up with in-game adjustments made by opposing coaches/teams?

#Canucks are 3rd last in #NHL in 3rd period goal differential. All the close games, little pay off in final 20 minutes. San Jose tops the list. Chicago is next in line. Then the Canucks.
