      Don't know, Alf-meister..won't speculate. Lately feel people are more civil/polite to each other here, & that's nice. Life's too short to be nasty if someone doesn't jive with one's sporting views. The site is more interesting when everyone isn't parroting the company line, & there's diversity with opinions.

  3. Are the Coyotes smoke and mirrors?

    23 rd in scoring.  Kessel minus 18, and now they have the Loser - Hall.

      If the Yotes are smoke & mirrors what does that make the Canucks?

      Sweet & Sour?

      Salt & Vinegar?

      Lenny & Squiggy?

      good for coyotes hall will help offense. doesnt stop us from making playoffs  we are winning and losing games by one goal with out our best dman. Im hoping benning makes a few trades in march to free up tryamkin and rathbone  to  make a playoff push tanev and  stechers days as canucks could be number even if we dont make pkayoffs this yr means we get a chance at lafreniere

    Best, single malt, Scotch?

      I like Glenmorangie 18 and Dalwhinnie 15. My go-to is always Talisker 10. Ardbeg 10 is another good one if you like peat. 

  5. Bob Mackenzie reporting the Cap is not going up much.  Revenues not there.  Escrow will claw back a lot from players.

    JB needs to WEAPONIZE our cap.

      F in the chat for all those 2nd/3rd liners that just lost a couple million from their upcoming payday.

      the word "weaponize" gets thrown out here a lot. We have to be careful with that, taking on other teams long term debt and crap is something that we should have done 4 or 5 years ago, but not 4 to 5 years into the future from this point forward. 

       

      I'd rather see the cap blown on real high end skill like Panarin, or save our cap space for next year when we can really tool up for a good playoff run.

      This IS very good news. Our clout/leverage gets enhanced.

  6. Bryzgalov is a great interview.

  7. Canucks super offence from D in 2020/21 season.

    Edler, Myers, Hughes, OJ, and Rafferty.  Tanev can put up some too.  

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      That could be the best D (1 through 6) in the league.  Way to go JB!

      Ovi has been my favourite NHL player since Scott Niedermayer retired. The guy has a great attitude, electric playstyle, and you feel like you HAVE to cheer for him.

    4. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      ya ovi is my fav as well  heres hoping he gets a cup before he retires  hes still young  hell maybe he will play til hes 45-46 like jagr lots of yrs left  i hope he breaks 99s  goals record hes bout 290 short if anyones gonna break it or get to 1000 goals ovi will.  That being said im jumping on caps vs  jets  for cup this yr hopefully

  9. Confused emoji is confusing.  Is it a down vote?  Is it a lazy poster’s way to disagree?

    or, is it actually used when you don’t understand a poorly written post?

  10. Eichel better than McDavid?

    watching ?Eichel a lot this year. Guy is a great 200 foot player.  I believe he’s better than McDavid.

      Gretzky scored over 200 points multiple times.  McDavid doesn’t  score enough points to make up for his horrifyingly aweful play without the puck.  Give me Eichel every day, and all day.  Add to Eichel’s superior defensive game, his being so much harder to play against, and clearly you have a much better player.   McDavid is fast, and fun to watch, but is he really a winning player, who makes his teammates better?  Give me Eichel.

      I guess we'll see who's right in around 10-15 years or so when both are ready to retire.

    4. Alflives

      Alflives

      I’m thinking Rivhel has at least one Cup with the Sabres as the alpha dog.  McDavid to win a Cup, will need to go to another team, and play with a top notch checking center.  

  11. Favourite breakfast cereal?

      Hey @naslund.is.kingcrap in my drunken state that was really hard to direct the message to the right poster.  Tanking is for loser ?GMs.  I’m happy we won again, I and I bet our players are happy too.   They could care less about th3 tank.  

  13. Fun fan idea...

    would the Canucks allow a couple fans to sit in on TDL and UFA days?

  16. Hi Z!

     

    Be like Jagr, and get in a late workout.  You impress me as a player who already worked out today, but get out and ride your stationary bike.  Pound out some miles, and throw in some serious hills.  

    You are going to make one of those Jr. Teams because you will have worked harder than any other guy out there.  When the other guys start to tire you will see it in their eyes that they want to quit, and you will go even harder, and bury them.  

    Dont waste your time arguing with us old beggars.  Our time is far behind us.  Yours is in front of you.  Take it.

      I’d like the troll emoji, so when we think someone is trolling we can give them a cute little guy.  Maybe do away with the confused emoji?

      Forgot about jellyfish! Mine was dried, and in a soup, kind of like shark fin. I've also eaten shark fin, but that was almost 20 years ago when I was ignorant to the entire poaching, food chain importance of sharks. Never again will I eat shark anything. 

       

      I ate kangaroo loin, grilled rare, rolled in honey, then rolled again in roasted pistachios. Very "elk" like. Lean, and simple.

       

      Bear was pepperoni format, honestly could have been anything.

      I roast a whole pig over charcoal once per year. Eating the face is one of the highlights. People who have done it know what I'm saying. The cheek meat, jowls, around the ear, behind the eyes, it's all so tender.

       

      Plus, when you crack the skull and get into the brain. Imagine if foie gras tasted like pork.

       

      Then you break down the belly, the ribs, the legs. It's all good.

      If you are the best team to miss the playoffs, it is impossible to lose the draft lottery.  You either stay the same, or move up.
