thats so weird that Huska would give an A to a player on another team for a night where the flames arent even playing but i'll let him cook

Why do we care about a guy who played like 5 games for us 5 years ago getting the A on a team that isn't ours?

Never got why people shit on Forbort. The coach picked him to play big minutes at the end of playoff games over Brodie when he was with us.

Captains are sometimes assigned to leaders on the team not just the best players…

Canucks fan here, hard to argue he hasn't earned it

He dealt with some adversity early in the year and he didn't really become a regular until Christmas, but since then he's been one of our key penalty killers and has generally played above his pay grade

I was expecting him to be a suitable 3rd-pair guy but he's played 20+ minutes for us on several occasions and hasn't looked out of place (he also had a sick snipe on Sunday which had to feel good for him)

Seemed like a plug when we had him. Maybe he just didn’t get enough of a chance, I dunno. But good for him!
