  1. Hello and farewell! It's been a journey. 

  2. My name is NHLer on the new forum :)

  3. Bring Edler home at a bargain price?

      If he wants to come back, why not?

      Not the worst suggestion I’ve heard. A 1 year deal at around 1 million could make it happen.

      The art of typing is lost on a lot of people.

      I type around 60, but make so many mistakes (including my hands typing different words than what my brain was thinking) that I might as well have a 10 WPM speed. :P

      Wasn't until a few yrs back, heard in an interview that Mic J was singing background vocals. All them yrs of radio (AM/FM..tune popped up everywhere - GREAT song); yet I hadn't realized it was Mic

       

      Also Klaus Voorman on bass. He came up with the funky riff to start the tune. Good bud of Lennon/Beats from Hamburg daze, & he did the awesome cover art design on Revolver LP.

      @NHL'er Hey!  We have the same birth "day"!

  7. What’s Babcock up to these days? :ph34r:

  8. Banning truly screwed us one final time when he traded away Guenther for OEL and Garland and lost us 12+ m of cap space on average pieces. we’ll feel that for a while…

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      This is such a joke. This current management thought the current D corps was good enough to not make any changes, which actually validates Benning's work. The blame is no longer on Benning, but Allvin and company.

       

      Re-signing Miller is probably the worst mistake this management has made thus far though. They now have no cap space. That's not on Benning.

      Who is going to take OEL and his albatross contract...:huh: or Garland and his albatross contract... 

    3. #Canucks

      #Canucks

      Package JT with OEL for a 5th round pick and gain some cap space. It’s more important today, we will be a playoff team in the next 2 years

  9. #Unfinishedbusiness? More like #Hardforbedard  

  10. How many fantasy hockey teams do you manage? I'm in 4 and thinking of 2 more... 2 are free. 2 aren't. I'm a Diamond level player and have won $400+ thus far... am I addicted..??

    1. Master Mind

      Master Mind

      I play around a dozen leagues each year, about half free, half for money. Nothing wrong with adding a couple more if you have the time/interest.

      Thank you for the affirmation <3 

  11. Post your ultimately douchebag lineups:

     

    E. Kane - M. Messier - J. Virtanen

    B. Leipsic-Sean Avery - P. Kane

    Marchand - Seguin - B. Shannahan

     

    S. Voynov - T. DeAngelo 

     

    P. Roy

      Cooke was only a "goof" (re: really questionable hits) until *AFTER* he left the Canucks (not saying he was a boy scout but he really ramped it up in the Brad Marchand type of behavior when he took off our jersey).

      How has Mike Smith's name not come up in here yet?

      Gotta get RW Claude Lemieux in there for the way he rearranged Kris Draper's face on the board dasher.

  12. Who is the Canucks 3C going into the season?

    1. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      If they're crazy or crazy optimistic, Lazar.
      Probably Horvat (if Petey and Miller each center their own lines).

      smithers joe

      i want 3 balanced scoring lines. that means JT, petey and BO as the centers. not 1,2,3 but whatever line is going each game gets the most ice time. if JT is traded hoefully we get a good center back. like mcleod or sillinger or whoever.

  13. Omg I just found out Player Name is an UFA. Bring him back for the memes?

      if you're looking for meaning, you could move into a large charity or co-op. Maybe gov't if there's a department you could be motivated by.

      Maybe he will be traded to the NYR and he can be with Gallant. 

    3. TNucks1

      TNucks1

      i think he's decent, sucks that we traded him only for a 3rd thats what i was mainly upset about, maybe there was a locker room issue i have no idea, but could of done better than a 3rd, only reason we got him was cause vegas was clearing room for Petro, gave up on him way too soon.

    4. Devron

      Devron

      Pretty easy to hardball though when we traded a 3rd rounder only a year prior. NTC obviously throwing a wrench in things. I do think he’s a solid top 4 option under the right environment. He really did overachieve in Vegas though 

  16. Spencer Martin to the Oilers for their first? :lol::metal:

      Tell Halak it's a chance to win a Stanley Cup if he goes to Edmonton.

      I'll take even a 2nd for him. :)

      Putting the blame on Gillis when Benning bricked 2 top picks is pretty disingenuous, Daz.

      I took the timber scaling course and exam this spring out of Nelson. 90% certain 100% roughly 60 of us failed. Several of my cohort who did worse than I took the same test in burns lake and passed. Pretty un impressed thankfully it was just an add on for what I do and my livelihood wasn't depending on it.

      Play games, listen to music, exercise, etc. In rare cases, I might just take a nap. Sometimes eating some comfort food is good, too. I try to distract myself from whatever's bothering me.

      @JM_ na I'm at a point in life where I'm earning enough money I'll just take the hit and move into a boujee new place myself. She was the kind of roommate who probably wouldn't have gotten me meds if I got seriously sick.

      I'm having a hard time with this, I still like Beagle. Can we put Loui on a different line?

      I'm with AJ...revenge means we're stuck on something but we have the ability to move past it.  Bullies are awful, but they don't deserve our attention (often what they're seeking).

      I like the old saying about drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.  When you hold on to something and carry it with you, it's bad for your mind, body and soul.  Let it go - that may require therapy but to stay stuck on a bully's actions is dragging that weight around.  We can't change or control others' actions but we can control how we respond to them.

      If it's current/in real time - by all means, spill it.  Because the more we speak out against bullying, the more difficult it is for the bully to pull his/her crap.  But if it's from the past, put it to rest there.

      @drummer4now I’ve done the BC to UK switch and that’s fairly seamless.
