  1. I hate this fan-base sometimes. The guys are previous art-ross trophy winners, that took us to the SCF...and you just want to turn on them the moment they go through a rough patch? You do not deserve to have ever watched the sedins - dudes gave up 1.5M each to children's hospital, they've done countless things for this city....by your completely flawed logic..every time something bad happens you should turn away from it and get rid of it. Dog gets sick? Put it down GF has a period? Break up with her Boss has a rough day? Quit your job Tire goes flat? Sell your car Freakin' ridiculous.
  2. I agree. I just think they need to find their identity, and I don't think they will find it with 5 core guys out of the lineup. This is a much needed break, I think they will heal and move on. If they don't...it's ok...not the end of the world. It's not like I won't cheer for them if they're losing.
  3. Having families is irrelevant to their performance. The majority of hockey players have families...if anything, it should give them more motivation not less. I know I'd want my son/daughter to be with me when hoisting the cup..
  4. Why does nobody comment on the fact that the sedin's are not being used correctly? Before AV = Sedins were nothing After AV = Sedins + Burrows were something special I think AV's time was over..however, torts is not doing much more to make a case for himself. Why are the sedin's killing penalties? Why do we skate on the boards on every play..and then take a crap shot from the half boards. We need to play to our strengths...not play this north south game that the Canucks have not played in 8 years.
  5. 67.6 Disallowed Goal - A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck with his hand into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck and it is deflected into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official. When the puck enters the net on a clear deflection off a glove, the goal shall be allowed.
  6. Sorry - you're right. I was thinking buyout, not the compliance buy out. However, I think the economics still don't make sense given that he has 1-year left on his contract. Wouldn't you rather still have booth in a long SC run?
  7. Do people actually realize that they will not be buying out Booth this offseason? What is the point? He has 1-year left on his contract, so that means regardless of what happens he is paid the $4M. I'd rather have him sitting in the press box earning that $4M rather than getting paid the $4M and getting paid from another team at the same time. Regarding the cap, if we buy him out then the cap hit is split by dividing it (by the remaining life of the contract x 2). So that means that next year and the year after we will have a $2M hit if we buy out booth....it just doesn't make any financial sense
  8. All I'm saying..if this was sir charles, things would have resulted differently: http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1997-10-27/sports/9710270306_1_jorge-lugo-lugo-s-attorney-barkley-s-group I've traveled the world, and Vancouver has one of the douchiest night life scenes. He should have taken care of business, finished his beer, and then went back home. Nobody would blame him for that. p.s. this has nothing to do with being classy, it has everything to do with being a child. It's sports. You win, and you lose. We look like nothing but sore losers - move on. Enjoy the game for what is is. Grow up.
  9. What does hitting the panic button achieve? Unless your name starts with Mike and ends with Gillis, any panic button you hit will make you look like a cry-baby. If you don't want to be a fan during the rough times...you shouldn't be allowed to be a fan during the good times.
  10. He's on pace for 25 goals - Do people still think he's overpaid? Put him on any line, he'll score.
