As a season ticket holder I am in no rush to see them allow fans back into the stadiums. I have zero interest in attending ANY public sporting event until vaccines are wide spread. Not because I am afraid of coronavirus (I already got it and recovered) but because I don't want to attend a hockey game with any restrictions, e.g. social distancing or masks. Next time I go to a hockey game will be when it is a full arena with 19k fans and not a single person wearing a mask. If that is not until 2022 or 2023 then so be it.

I tried but got frustrated with the code not working for a bunch of stuff.

Got an email about seat relocation. What is everyone's priority number? Mine is in the 4200's and I've been a STH for like 8 years I think. I guess your number never changes.

Well considering they fired a huge amount of their reps I am going to guess there's going to be "lots of options" this year.

I know I had to laugh. They should take what they can get.

Looks like the Edmonton Oilers have tons of season tickets available for sale in basically most price categories. I guess their wait list is over now too. https://www.nhl.com/oilers/tickets/season-seats I wonder how many cancellations the Canucks have got. One interesting blurb on the Oilers site is this: Important Notice: New Oilers Season Seats are not available for purchase when the primary intended use of the tickets by the purchaser is for-profit resale, whether through online fan-to-fan resale platforms or other forms of distribution. Any Season Seats purchased and later determined to be intended primarily for for-profit resale will be voided.

I assume this is only a temporary thing for 1 season due to covid. Not a permanent thing. They are doing it because crossing borders will be a hassle, and so having teams play each other in their divisons may be the only way to go. I could see them doing a division only season. Basically it would be a shortened 42 game season (starting in january] where you play each team in your division 6 times .... 3 home and 3 away. Might be boring but covid has changed how things work. I personally think it would be awesome to see the Canucks play the leafs and habs 3 times at Rogers Arena.

No. They ask each month but I decline. Apparently they are going to take out a lump sum (like 4 months worth) sometime in November. I dont see it happening though. I will tell them not to. I think I am probably going to cancel my tickets.

Not for a very long time. NFL stadiums in the USA are only allowing like 15% capacity and even then they can't sell out. Fans are not interested in attending live games right now. I suspect they will probably fill 15 or 20% of the arena with spacing between seats, but who knows. I can't imagine January 1 (just 12 weeks away) there will be 18,500 fans sitting next to each other. No way. I think they will announce a shortened covid season (like 55 games instead of 82), with playoffs in the normal time frame (April-June). Then I am hopeful next year (Sept 2021) things will be back to normal and there will be vaccines wide spread. So to answer your question, I expect the next live game I see will be the home opener on October X, 2021.

One thing is for sure - our rivalry with Calgary is only going to get more bitter. Just imagine next year Quinn Hughes will need to face off against Chris Tanev, and Demko will need to face off agaist Markstrom. Should make for some very tense playoff style games.

I can't belive this. I was expecting Tanev to get $6 million a year for at least a few years. Can anyone explain to my why a guy like Tyler Myers gets $6 million a year, and why a 34 year old Edler gets $6m a year, but they only offer Tanev presumably less than 4.5 million? Tanev is one of our best players. He plays all the hard minutes. This club should be ashamed. This is a huge mistake. We should have taken him for 4 years at 4.5 million. Tanev = most underappreciated player in the game.

Yeah I am mentally unbalanced.

You're busted man! I went to ebay to search for price history for you, and this one (#35) just sold for $220 just this morning . Took me a while to figure it out, and then I realized what happened. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elias-Pettersson-2018-19-Black-Diamond-Rookie-Gems-Auto-35-99-/402061280760 I am guessing you bid on this item on ebay, won it, and now you want to find out if it is worth $220 or else you will back out of the sale. To do this you come here and pretend you own the card and ask for its value but you don't realize that people will go to ebay and see the sold history lol. You even posted the photos from the ebay ad. Busted! But no, it doesn't appear the card is worth $220. If you look at ebay history, we can see that on Aug 2, #89/99 sold for $81 cad. And on Aug 1, #34/99 sold for somewhere under $100 USD (best offer accepted). So that's what you wanted to know. Yes you probably overpaid. Now you can back out of the deal and the poor seller will be forced to relist. Not cool but it's your life.

I love how these videos never show the beginning and only start at exactly the moment that suits their agenda. I doubt those park rangers grabbed that person for no reason. They probably kicked them or threw something at them.

Markstrom jerseys, 99% off.

Getting to the 2nd round was the best thing ever for us. It showed us Demko can play. Good bye Markstrom. You won't ever play a game as a canuck again. Welcome to the Demko era.

Well, to be fair, lots of words in the dictionary will get you fired. If a mayor stood up and said "We really f*cked the budget this year" he would probably have to resign too. And let's not forget, the N word is also in the dictionary.

I hope the students mental health is okay and they can recover from such a traumatic experience. LOL. Ridiculous.

IT"S GAME TIME! I'M BRINGING BEER HATS BACK BABY!

Win or lose, we are learning some valuable lessons about how playoff hockey is. This kind of experience is invaluable for Hughes and Pettersson at their young age. Next playoffs they will be more prepared mentally. Vegas is a team that has been to the cup finals, they know what it takes.

Go to youtube and search "Knife vs cop" and look at some training videos. Watch how fast someone with a knife can reach a cop who doesnt take it seriously. It is scary. Edit: Actually search "21 foot rule". Here is a video. A lot of people who see a cop shoot a black person 21 feet away with a knife would say it was excessive, but look at this video.

Well, ESPN is reporting it, so that is pretty credible. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/29754002/flyers-islanders-golden-knights-canucks-played-thursday

The media isn't interested in covering this aspect of it. It's almost like they don't want people to know he had a knife and was likely reaching for it. It makes the story not so much fun. Sort of like the coroner report that came out for George Floyd where the coroner said there was no damage to his neck and he did not die of asphyxiation. Or that George Floyd had insane amounts of meth in his system and a heart condition. The media doesn't want to tell those stories.

He would need a much bigger sign
