  1. RIP Bob! He was a staple of the "home from school sick" kids for a generation
  2. It'll likely be a sign and trade with the single year left on his contract. He'll hold all the power on where he goes and as stated above it will likely be a US destination. No reason to even come up with proposals of him coming to Vancouver because it's never going to happen.
  3. Thanks for the heads up. I guess it makes it easier when you take them out of the equations.
  4. I meant the Russians on our team Kravtovs and Podz(although not sure he is in the lineup currently). As far as Russia goes, I wouldn't put anything past them.
  5. Any news on if the other Russian players are also opting out of Pride jersey warmup?
  6. The Horvat trade just keeps looking better
  7. I guess call it a win for management since we have none of the players on the list.
  8. Honestly have loved his work at TSN. He started off with little bits on Overdrive with Hayes and O'Neil. Basically was too good for radio and quickly got moved up to more primetime spots including features on this past Tradecenter. Has a good players take and love the small Canucks stories he throws in time to time.
  9. Hockey contract questions here. Is it possible for us to trade Brock and only retain salary for this year of his contract? Or if you retain does it need to be for the length of the contract? I feel like since we've already written off this year, it doesn't hurt to retain some of his contact this year. If we retain past this year it hinders our cap management for the re-tool so it would be nice if it was possible to only retain on a single year
  10. Unless the questions is "Which coach will help the Canucks get the best odds in the 2023 entry draft?" Tocchet would be my last choice. He hasn't won anywhere as a head coach and isn't going to turn this team around. Just let BB finish out the season and hire a competent coach(not Tocchet) in the offseason. It doesn't matter who is sailing this ship, its already hit the iceberg and is going down.
  11. First off I want to state that I fully support the LGTBTQ+ community and believe they should have the right to celebrate and be celebrated. With that said this is being overblown. He never disparaged the community, and says he respects peoples decisions. His decision to sit out was made based off his religious beliefs, which while may differ from ours, we have to respect.
  12. Hated the first half of the interview. Very canned answers in terms of the injury and how it was handles. Can't believe we're still talking re-tool instead. Beating a dead horse after the last management group. Loved his candidness the second half, took the heat and didn't end it early. I'll reserve my judgement until i see what these "Re-Tooling" trades/moves actually look like or if it'll be more of the same.
  13. Gotta give it to JR. He's taking the heat and stopped someone off camera from finishing up the press conference Says he'll stay and answer all the questions as long as it takes.
  14. Lol... again with the Re-Tool comments. Same story as the last management. Unbelievable.
  15. All vague and canned answers. No real information there. The reporters are ripping JR apart. He just had to reel it in and let the doctors leave. Its about to get ugly.
  16. Here's a third questions. Would you trade both EP40 and QH for the first overall and draft Bedard?
  17. No way would I give up a first and Podz. We need our picks moving forward. There's also a reason he's a healthy scratch and not producing. He has the high pick pedigree but has yet to prove himself at the NHL level. If anything find a way to get him in a Miller trade.
  18. I really liked the look of the Garland-Dries-Hog line last game. Don't get me wrong they are small but they all have a bit of bite/snarl to their respective games which you need when you're a smaller player. When Hogs laid out 6'6" Zohorna you just knew that line wasn't taking any sh*t from anyone and they were rewarded for it.
  19. That is correct, if you ever catch the on ice cameras you'll notice the adds are different then the above ice view of the adds as they don't have the overlay working on those cameras.
  20. The actual adds in the arena along the boards haven't changed, the problem this season is the adds are on another level with the broadcasters casting their own adds along the boards for the game feeds on TV. They have been doing the in glass adds for a couple seasons now but the new live boards adds are terrible. It gets so bad/distracting that sometimes the goalies heads disappear into the adds being projected along the boards. They really need to improve the technology
  21. Gotta agree after tonight. Did nothing to impress and was only noticeable in a bad way.
  22. Doubt they break that line up after Petey put up 5 points last night.
  23. Can we suit him up? Would love to see him teach our guys back their how to play hockey.
