  1. Thank you CDC for everything. Best wishes to all my fellow CDC posters and all Canucks fans including Orca supporters I've debated with over the years. Much peace.
  2. I love the change from generic red to blue on the top part of boards. What would really look great and distinguishable from other NHL rinks is making the base of the boards either a light sky blue or a greenish aqua blue. The blue on both the top and bottom of the Pacific Coliseum boards in the Canucks' first season was beautiful:
  3. I'll take the bygone era any day. When hockey and hockey's atmosphere was real, genuine and less commercialized and corporate.
  4. What makes you think or believe that in 2023 that people don't want to see nor hear great singers like Richard Loney, Roger Doucet(Montreal), Paul Lorieau(Edmonton) and Susan Smith(Calgary)?? Great anthem singing includes note perfect renditions. And when those legendary singers sang along to the organ playing, it added to hockey games.
  5. When Richard Loney sang, especially with the organist playing, he was one of the very few bright spots during the losing 80's: And why is that?? Richard Loney was the Jim Robson of national anthem singing. When he sang, it was Hockey Night In Vancouver. Marie Hui sounds like she's singing in the shower. She's appropriate for singing at Whitecaps or baseball Canadians games or even at Grizzlies games if we still had the NBA. She's not NHL calibre. Calgary's Susan Smith was 100 x better.
  6. Awesome! Thank you. She needs to be our full-time anthem soloist.
  7. I forgot her name but she sang both The Star Spangled Banner and O Canada for one game late last season. I believe it was the Canucks vs the Kings but I could be mistaken. It was on a night when the Canucks were promoting autism awareness. She was absolutely incredible. She sang both anthems in their entirety to perfection in a strong baritone opera voice. The best since the late great Richard Loney. The best female voice I had listened to since Susan Smith who was the longtime Calgary Flames' anthem singer. I would LOVE to have her as our full-time anthem singer. If not her, we need an anthem singer with a strong baritone opera voice plus organ music playing along. Not celebrity singers who sound like they're singing in the shower or trying to "entertain" . Marie Hui is good but not great. Her singing should be at Whitecaps games or Canadians baseball games. When we had one of the very best anthem singers in sports history, the bar shouldn't be lowered.
  8. Welcome to Vancouver, Tom Willander! I was hoping for one of the three remaining Greater Vancouver area players, LW Zach Benson(Langley), LW Andrew Cristall(Vancouver) and D Lukas Dragicevic(Richmond) but there is a lot of promise with this young defenseman who has committed to play at Boston University in the NCAA which is great decision on his end. Will Willander become the next coming of Mathias Ohlund?? Who knows. However, I'm sure he won't be the Swedish version of Ollie Juolevi.
  9. Regardless, Butler was a lousy acquisition at the expense of both Vaive and Derlago.
  10. Getting Tiger was absolutely needed for the club, absolutely. The problem was getting Jerry Butler, an average tough guy in the trade. Should have acquired a future 1st rounder, considering both Derlago and Vaive were 1st rounders.
  11. It's why Francesco is the worst owner in sports(Daddy Luigi is actually the owner)and one of the worst in business practices. He's a bullying and controlling narcissist. The more legal troubles he faces, the far better.
  12. Francesco showing the odd bit of hockey knowledge! At least he had a loyal puppet of a GM though.
  13. Both Johnny Canuck and the Skate are far superior than the constipated-looking and corporately-inspired Orca.
