  1. I joined in 2009 but I'm pretty sure this is my second account and that I lurked around for a long while before joining. Wrote it in another thread already but this place has really fueled my interest in hockey and the Canucks. Growing up I didn't have anyone around me interested in hockey and even moving back home to Sweden I still don't really have anyone. It's weird, we like hockey here and that was something I took for granted moving back. Sure people are interested but I am at that I post on forums about hockey type of level and that's really scarce from my experience, but not around here! Thanks for satisfying my needs for hockey related anything for most of my life. Shout out to @Vintage Canuck - best hockey news source in the world. Let me know when you get that donation button set up. Even if this sucks it's really nice to read through this thread and see how many people share my opinion of the place. These forums have always been my most frequently visited page on any computer or browser I've had access to over the years. The absolute go-to place for anything hockey related. I have to admit, I've always felt some sort of weird pride over how good CDC has been and it's all thanks to all of us. Pretty neat. See you on the other side.
  2. Great news! I think he will make a great captain. Just because one guy becomes captain doesn't mean anyone else automatically would have been a bad or worse choice.
  3. As I am posting this the website is acting in a way I have not experienced before and I hope it is not an indication of what we all don't want to happen. If it is, much love to everyone here. I grew up in an environment where I didn't have much of anyone to interact with when it comes to hockey. This place has been a pleasure to be a small part of and I just want to echo previous posters like @Ted Lasso and express my appreciation for this community. To even think I have the tiniest bit of notoriety on here makes me happy. It's truly been a continuous driving factor for my interest and fandom of the Canucks and a lot of you on here have contributed to that with discussions, proposals, posts, likes and jokes. It's got to be one of the better sports forums around. As one door closes, another one opens and I hope to see you all on the other side wherever that will be. Saying all that.. I am a glass half full kind of person and I think it's just under maintenance. CDC never dies, let's go.
  4. It would really be interesting to be a fly on the wall in Arizona. It has to be the most unique organization in the league and in a unique situation. I guess Armstrong is corporate enough to deal with having god awful working conditions as compared to his counterparts in other organizations. Like it can't be an attractive job even for someone desperate to enter sports management. Reminds me of the movie Moneyball when Billy (Brad Pitt) has a meeting with the owner who tells him there is no more money to invest in the roster. This is followed by Billy graphically explaining to his scouting staff just how much worse they are than even their closest comparable teams. I don't think this Billy has the same masterplan in his back pocket.
  5. Wenatchee Wild was a completely new thing to me. Hard to believe that out of all the WHL franchises that the Ice got bought up and then moved to Wenatchee.
  6. Not a fan of seeing a player sign in the KHL with everything that's going on. Plenty of other places to play.
  7. I still feel like they need another year to make more changes to the team. Still a lot of dead weight on the roster, a lot of meh. I think they miss again, sadly.
  8. Pretty incredible to reflect about the impact he's had on the game. Some of those clips will forever make the hairs on the back of my neck go up and I am not even a Sabres fan. Absolute icon, incredible career and the love and passion he always showed. We should all be grateful for the moments he helped create and forever cemented in history.
  9. Seems like at the very worst a very competitive cap hit. Feels cheap. Very likely to perform above a 7 mil a year player for most of the contract
  10. I thought Sven did more for the Canucks than he usually get's credit for. Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like he get's lumped in with the likes of Goldobin and Vey and I think he was a clear step above. I'll never understand how he was drafted where he was. He never had a single thing that stood out. Just a lot of average without any separation skills. Seems like a cool dude though.
  11. You got to actually be a good team to get those privilege's!
  12. I hope he makes it out the coast - seems like a really good person, still rooting for him.
  13. You're right. Now I also understand a question I couldn't really make out what it was when it was asked to D-Petey. Thanks!
  14. I was just about to post about Hedberg being there as well. Does anyone know if he is involved with the Canucks in any capacity? He's been working as a head coach over in Sweden.
