Why Oiler's fans shouldn't be concerned with Taylor Hall's Hart Trophy

This.....Everybody understood, Hall HAD to be gone prior to training camp, you can gush all over his Hart win now, but back then his attitude had been identified as the #1 thing the Oilers needed to move in order to be successful....and though everyone hoped to get more....IT WORKED! Like magic, the cloud lifted from Edmonton and descended on Jersey where people are forgetting he neither played very well or was very well liked his first year... Hall came in with a different attitude this year, one he never would have been forced to adopt had he NOT been traded, and the Oilers failings for last season need to be placed squarely at the feet of ONE MAN Connor McDavid.....EVERYONE gives him a pass when he is the FIRST guy who should have been held accountable, This guy's main concern in the first part of the season was upsetting the team's lines because HE wanted the team's 2nd line center (Who HAD to play there) on HIS wing Huh? He's supposed to be the...

NHL trade: Canucks Ben Hutton to Bruins. The curse of the Vancouver Canucks, abandon all hope ye who enter.

In the wake of "breaking news" that perhaps the Boston Bruins could be looking to deal for Vancouver Canuck, Ben Hutton, there has been some debate amongst non-Vancouver fans as to what Ben Hutton could be worth, and would that price be enough to cover breakfast at Tim Horton's? They tell us who have watched him they don't understand how he could be worth more than whatever you might be liable to scape of your shoes after walking the dog. So let's talk "Understanding" shall we? What YOU are failing to understand, that your GM is quite aware of, and will be the mitigating factor in any potential deal (So you might as well get used to it is this: Hutton was up until this year, and up and coming D man. He was considered one of this organization few bright spots. His play developed, it got BETTER, many were excited to see how good it could get... Enter the Vancouver Canucks, They F**k with their own players creating weird self-destructiv...

NHL:CANUCK EMPIRE ABOUT TO COLLAPSE? The Un-flappable Trevor Linden is shaken during interview. The AXE WILL FALL

It's getting close Canucks fans... Armageddon is nigh.  It's been an odd several years to be a Canucks fan, watching THE FANS fire Mike Gillis during an infamous late-season chant during a fateful game again whom I can't recall,.  What I do recall is watching the T.V cameras pan up to the G.M's box where Mike Gillis stood looking as haggard and hung over as he ever had before(and that's saying something) seeing the cameras focus and zoom in on his face. If ever I've seen the expression of man about to walk the plank, I saw it on that fateful day. Soon after, rumors of Linden taking over began to swirl. Doing his best to hide out from the media, he was caught and asked point blank, he denied it. And later copped to the lie saying he was put in an impossible situation, I can empathize, and do cut him the slack, but man, what a bad omen to start things off. Next, in whirlwind of activity, Trevor was in as president, soon to be joined by ex-Bruins...
