  1. Depth (not everyday defensemen) and fourth liners who can play are sometimes difference makers for a team in a long season.
  2. If we are to believe this projection to be accurate then the team would be smart to start now to prepare for our first 2 games of the season. For the Canucks to have any chance at the playoffs we have to have an average of no less than .500 versus Pacific division competitors. Start with the Oil, hit to hurt and don't concede anything.
  3. McDick make sense, why would anyone commit 3 years out when the time comes he can essentially pick and choose where he wants to play and for how much. As an aside, I always chuckle when people couch their comments by saying things like "kind of" see where our lives are, and "kind of" go from there.
  4. If he makes the Oilers that makes me think they are not as good as some may believe.
  5. Didn't the Canucks play in a game seven in each of the years ('82, '94 and '11) we were in the Stanley Cup Finals?
  6. IMO the NHL in general struggles to introduce new blood to television coverage, not to mention management at the team and league level. Think about it, do you have to be an ex-player in order to provide intelligent commentary on our game? In terms of "conflict of interest" pro-hockey is certainly not exempt to this reality, and don't get me started about nepotism.
  7. I agree, one can only wonder why some of these players have not yet received contract offers. It is way past time this issue is dealt with by Hockey Canada. It is also time the NHL took a stance and set standards or a basic code of conduct for their players and publicize same inclusive of penalties.
  8. Apparently teams can exceed the cap during the summer months prior to the start of a new season.
  9. The Oilers over-valued Yamo when they drafted him in the first round and then over-paid him with a multi million dollar contract. Good luck to him he is a great kid.
  10. We can only hope the Canucks pro-scouts are all over the free-agent player market and target the best possible options for us at center and defense. Hope is the keyword.
  11. Hope he only spends a couple of years in college and then transitions straight to the NHL.
  12. Toews is done, he's spent. his playing days are over but no one has told him yet.
  13. Stop it Alf. Looch is done. Whatever you imagine he brings to the game it is vastly surpassed by his skating ability or lack thereof. His value is grossly over-rated.
