    Sounds like the Canucks and City of Vancouver are close to an agreement to build a practice facility at Britannia Rink. It will include a state of the art gym, off ice training facility, lounge and locker room. The build will also include office space for the city.

    Brady Tkachuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators wearing a Flames shirt getting bombed going to watch his brother play in a playoff hockey game on the road is great on so many levels.

    Believe the changes in Vancouver will include Jim Benning and John Weisbrod out as GM and AGM. Chris Gear likely steps into an interim role. Travis Green and Nolan Baumgartner out on the coaching side. Bruce Boudreau and Scott Walker in on coaching staff.

    This rink here in Prague is nicer than half of the NHL arenas in North America.

    Not many athletes have come to Canada and specifically Vancouver & embraced it the way Müller has. His play on the field speaks for itself but by all accounts it’s the things he’s doing off the field with teammates, support staff and Whitecaps employees that is the most impactful

    Hearing the Sharks and Evander Kane have agreed to a long-term contract extension. Numbers may be in the 7-years 7-million per range.

    Quinn Hughes makes $7.85 million for two more seasons. There is no other player close to that much of a bargain.
