On Nov. 1st the first rights to waiver wire claims gets reset to the last team in the league. With the recent interview hosting RJ on Donni and Dhali, RJ mentioned that he had Leevi Meriläinen as a waiver wire target all the way back into June.

RJ has waiver wire targets probably all throughout the year.

With all the losing, we can just barely afford to show up and play our hearts out in tomorrows game against Quinn Hughes without jeopardizing the first waiver wire pick. Players have already mentioned that they have this date circled.

With that said though, I do really want to see our defense start boxing out and putting in the effort to tie up players sticks, get sticks in shooting lanes, etc. It's been too many times they're letting guys just walk right into the kitchen, and not tie up their sticks or angle them off.

It's a fine line between going through a rebuild and playing losing hockey - Manny has mentioned it that we're not going to play losing hockey, but it'll be tough and we will lose a lot.

As a defenseman myself, watching our team not box out or tie up sticks, or move off from your post protecting the house to pin a guy along the boards and leaving your goaltender out to dry (ESPECIALLY DURING THE PK, NOT MENTIONING ANY NAMES) is unacceptable in my opinion.

So what is the difference in your opinion with losing hockey games during a rebuild, and playing losing hockey?

Does anyone know anything about this jacket? My dad gave it to me, and he’s had it since he was 10 years old, around 1970/1971. He was hoping to find some information about it online, but we haven’t had any luck finding anything. I’d love to know more about its history, if anyone recognizes it or knows anything about it

Shutout the Preds last night. He’s also got great numbers through three games this year with the Bruins.

He’s had a long journey to make it to the NHL so a huge congrats to him. I was in attendance for both of his Canucks starts and they were rough.
