  1. Already moved to the other one. They lost an opportunity to directly involve stakeholders on this earlier on in the process. Marketing hit to the team on this one. We will continue elsewhere and it will lead to less traffic to their site as a result. No marketing opportunities directly through the team anymore.
  2. Ask StealthNuck to update your profile. He'll adjust it for you.
  3. Yeah you’re right. Mixed up the post. Either way 150 CAD monthly is still not a significant cost for a multi-billionaire dollar empire. Unless mods are on payroll, then it’s maybe a different thing. With VC and SN and other mods suggesting stepping back in the future from the new site, there’s definitely some pieces we don’t know. Maybe it’s just a reflection time for some. Whatever the cause, this was sprung on us without any rationale. And that parts not cool.
  4. You would think they would have done their due diligence on this. #1 - If it's a money thing - ridiculous #2 - If it's a team engagement or "media control" thing - ridiculous #3 - If it's a league-issued mandate - then there is no way they would be able to navigate it anyways. The fact they're agreeing to discuss with potential stakeholders suggests it's #1 or #2. And based on the price point the new site is set up under (150 CAD annually), it really does lead me to consider this is all part of #2 with their new social marketing branding this summer. I'm glad they're giving us more videos and more insight. But to throw out something that's been built up over 20 years. Sad.
  5. Was just going to post to do the same. Migrate folks! Let’s spread the word to keep the journey alive!
  6. Sept. 30 - 11:59 pm - A final hoorah.
  7. The purge was the end of posting much as well for me. I used to keep track on a word pad document during university. Was trying to hit each new 1000 posts as quickly as possible. The purge led to just browsing.
  8. More than 2 decades on here. Such a terrible way to start this season. It started getting too corporate when they removed all of the Off-Topic posts last year. I guess this was the next step. Didn't want official branded information to be criticizing the team.
  9. Been here since 2003. Part of my daily routine check-in for two decades. WTH.
  10. I think Silovs starts in Abby is 1A, and has some call-ups for possible backup starts when Vancouver and Abby are both in town. i think Martin gets a shot as backup, but it could be the Canucks waive him to be 1B behind Silovs in Abby and picks up any number of waiver designated goalies at the end of training camp. Chances are the backup only gets 1 or 2 games in October anyways, the waiver pickup would have time to work with Clark Totals in NHL: Demko (60) Waiver Pickup (15) Silovs (7) AHL: Martin and Silovs and Sawchenko ECHL: Tolapilo
  11. Let's assume that Irwin is slotted for 3LD with Wolanin and Juulsen as 4LD and 4RD respectively. Let's also assume the Canucks average about 5 PPs per game, while also needing 5 PK per game. For PP, pretty straight forward: PP1 Hughes 5 minutes PP2 Hronek 5 minutes For PK, let's assume everyone kills some amount, with Hughes getting scaled back, maybe as PK3 right at the end of the penalty for transition to offense: PK1 Cole 4 minutes PK1 Soucy 4 minutes PK2 Myers 4 minutes PK2 Irwin 4 minutes PK3 Hughes 2 minutes PK3 Hronek 2 minutes That leaves 40 minutes of ES time in the game, with 2 defensemen on the ice. Let's assume that Hughes pair (ie. with Cole?) and Hronek pair (with Soucy) average about 15 minutes of ES time each. With the third pairing of Irwin and Myers getting 10 minutes of ES time. ES Hughes 15 minutes ES Cole 15 minutes ES Hronek 15 minutes ES Soucy 15 minutes ES Irwin 10 minutes ES Myers 10 minutes That puts the final ice times, on average, around the following: Hughes 22 minutes Hronek 22 minutes Cole 18 minutes Soucy 18 minutes Myers 14 minutes Irwin 14 minutes I could live with that distribution. Myers maybe even a little higher some nights, getting 15-16.
  12. I still think the Canucks go look for a partner for Hughes. Hughes - _______ Soucy - Hronek Cole - Myers (if not traded) Wolanin - Juulsen
