Durant still has a lot of years left in the NBA, but he is definitely on the other side of the hill as far as his remaining time as a player. At one point in the not-so-distant-future, a young star is going to be speaking about him and his way of playing with the same sort of reverence Durant has for McGrady. And I think he loved playing with me and maybe didn’t want to necessarily get locked into a long-term deal here if I wasn’t going to be in the long-term plans of the team. To make it out of the playoffs in the Central Division, any team will have to go through the Avs, and the defense will be the way to do it. The Cubs appear to already be a significantly improved defensive club from a season ago, not only replacing Contreras with Barnhart, but adding Dansby Swanson to create an elite defensive middle infield, just in time before baseball's first season with restrictions on the defensive shift. "The problem with all of it is that there is no consistency and rules. The Aggies' incoming freshman class is ranked 15th, per On3, and A M ranks last in the site's evaluation of incoming and outgoing talent via the transfer portal. Adding him to the mix, especially when Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is having a strong season and Evander Kane is out for a significant period of time, could be just the push the Oilers need to secure a top-three spot in the weak Pacific Division. The Blues would have to retain some salary, but in return, the Islanders have plenty of prospects and picks to give, particularly on defense. According to CapFriendly, Tarasenko is in the last year of his deal and has a no-trade clause, which means he can decide where he goes. With the Blues teetering on the edge of a playoff spot in the Central Division, now might be a great time to move Tarasenko — who has 25 points in 30 games on the season so far — for a high return. The 31-year-old can yield a player and a pick without question, and for teams battling injuries and fighting in tight playoff races, he could be the piece they need to make that final push.

The Vancouver Canucks needed a special performance from Elias Pettersson — two goals, three assists, and the shootout winner to beat the Seattle Kraken.

It was a superb cross-seam pass and Pettersson turned on the puck - “I was actually hoping he was going to shoot,” said Boudreau, “because he’s deked the last two times and it hasn’t worked out well but one thing about Petey, he’s stubborn. He then coasted to the side of the crease and stood and watched as the rest of the play unfolded. To top it off, Martin challenged Alex Wennberg too aggressively on the rebound and, with no one there to stop him, Wennberg dragged the puck into the slot and fired it into the vacated net. He did the smartest thing possible; he immediately gave the puck to Pettersson. Quinn Hughes made a great bank pass to Kuzmenko, who hooked the puck into the path of the onrushing Pettersson for a 2-on-1 with Pederson, who may as well have not existed with how little attention the Kraken paid to him. - The Canucks woke up after the goal and it was the Pettersson line that got them even. Instead, McCann fired the puck on net and Martin couldn’t scramble back in time to make the save. Yes, Pettersson’s bargain-bin knockoff, Pederson, was the beneficiary of Pettersson’s largesse, and Pederson also had a great game. It seemed like the only time they created anything offensively was when Pettersson stepped on the ice with his linemates, Andrei Kuzmenko and Lane Pederson. Maybe the Canucks could have scored one goal if the decision at game-time was to give Pettersson one more day of rest. Pettersson played one of the best games of his career, with two goals and three assists.

Elias Pettersson returned from illness and put forth one of the best single-game efforts in Vancouver Canucks history on Thursday.

He currently ranks fourth overall in the NHL with 3.47 points per 60 at even-strength. This team has also struggled to create offence at even strength, ranking 24th overall in the league in terms of scoring chances created. Even though he missed a couple of games, Pettersson is up there among the league leaders in scoring this season. He hit the post in overtime and, just seconds later, set up Quinn Hughes, who also rung it off the iron. With his latest effort, he became the first player in Canucks history with more than three 5+ point outings. “It’s not just getting the points and the goals and the shootout goal, but he’s an anchor in the d-zone as well.” “He’s one of the best players in the league. I was just trying to find energy somewhere,” he admitted. “And not only is he doing it offensive, but he’s playing great in the d-zone as well. Pettersson also had a chance to become just the fifth player in Canucks history to register more than five points in a game. Now, Pettersson is the lone Canucks to register at least five points in a game on four occasions. In many ways, he’s just entering the prime of his career.

The Canucks trailed 4-2 and 5-3, but fought back to tie the game and force overtime against their closest rival.

Jones had to look sharp in the first period when Seattle’s Vince Dunn almost directed a puck into the Kraken net … Prior to their two-game win streak, the Kraken had lost five of their previous six games. The Canucks were outscored 23-4 in their previous four home losses … Kuzmenko cut the lead to one at 5:13, scoring off the rebound of a Pederson shot. Backup goaltender Collin Deila played for the Canucks AHL franchise in Abbotsford Wednesday night, making 31 saves in a 6-3 win over the San Jose Barracuda … We’re still hunting to get a playoff spot.” That’s a testament to the boys in the room.” “Obviously it was a big relief. Brock Boeser also scored on a power play for Vancouver, which has beaten the Kraken all six times they have played. “We’ve got to get better in that aspect. “We have to do better when we’ve got a two-goal lead. “Give the team credit for not quitting.

Enjoy the game and Go Canucks Go! And the band is led by Jairo Guedz, who was the guitarist on SEPULTURA’s debut, so you can figure out the name. It doesn’t look like there’s any other changes, though with the way the pairing of Riley Stillman and Kyle Burroughs played last night, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ethan Bear back in to face the team he broke into the NHL with. Honestly, he seems like a super nice guy, and as a backup, you can’t ask for more, but this kind of goaltending isn’t something the Canucks can overcome, even if they get a ton of Elias Pettersson nights like we saw Thursday against Seattle. They’ve released three albums since debuting in 2020, and this is from their most recent entitled ‘Antichrist Reborn’. And again last night, the Kraken helped the Canucks bump a slump. TROOPS OF DOOM hail from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and if you’re thinking “Hey, that’s where SEPULTURA is from”, you’d be correct. Two goals, three assists and the shootout dagger as he proved to us yet again that he is the guy they need to build around, and you cannot help but notice the chemistry that he and Andrei Kuzmenko have developed. Fortunately, they were just as awful, and Elias Pettersson was back in a big way as he willed the team to a 6-5 shootout victory. It’s not all Martin’s fault, but he’s letting in a metric fuckton of goals, and it needs to stop if they want to keep treading water waiting for Thatcher Demko to get healthy. It’s a glimmer of hope in the sea of despair that is the Canucks right now.
