Stick-in-Rink

Just saw Interstellar................. and I give it a 9/10 For those of you planning on streaming it, don't. That will ruin half of the movie experience right there. The visuals were ABSOLUTELY stunning and really contributed to the vastness of space that I felt watching. Zimmer did a great job with the score, especially when silence was used to evoke this feeling of emptiness in space. I understand the critiques with it, it was a very very ambitious film, and Nolan incorporated so much, but all of this is interconnected in a way that I won't explain to avoid ruining anything. You'll feel every feeling watching this film, it was painfully sad at times, and also humorous, but overall it perfectly embodied this idea of humanity and what we have yet to explore, being such an insignificant part of this galaxy. I left feeling completely trivial, and optimistic for what has not been discovered yet. I don't know if any of this is even coherent, this was just such a tremendous film, that I haven't even wrapped my head around it yet. Just watch it.

"It is what it is." Okay then... welcome to the Canucks.. I guess? Gawd what a horrible day

"never thought i'd be a canuck, but it is what it is" ?????????? wtf

urghhh wnated one of the russians

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

oh god, can Kapanen survive for 3 more picks?

how much further can Kapanen fall.....

Yeah, I was merely saying that he probably has more motivation than he would on any other team to be at the best of his abilities, we all saw how ecstatic he looked. Plus, he was rated 7th by TSN, so this wasn't an off the board pick at all, a lot of us just aren't the biggest fans of the so-called Boston model, and wanted someone more skilled like Nylander. However, I'll trust Benning's judgement on this one, and Virtanen is a Canuck now so he has my full support. And if he pans out, then being a BC Boy on top of that would be incredible.

Being a hometown boy has to help in that facet quite significantly

ughhhhhhh whatever at least Jake is happy

damn

Wow Tallon, unbelievable that he turned that down, I'd be pissed if I were a Panthers fan (are there any???)

HERE WE GO

The offer is 6th, 24th, and Shinkaruk for 1st I'm hoping Tallon doesn't accept that

Anyone watching TSN? This isn't going to be new to anyone, but Tallon just said Canucks were one of the 2/3 teams that had a serious offer

Wait... Canucks still in play Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m Some on Draft floor are convinced the 1st pick overall is on the move and the Canucks may be the target. Still early and no sign of Tallon.

Apparently a Philly - Florida blockbuster in the works

God am I glad we landed him and not Pittsburgh. Just from his press conference he comes off as a very likeable, and energetic guy. Even the way he talks about how much respect he has for the players speaks volumes on his character. With Torts I didn't really see that mutual respect. It's crucial for a coach to have that, and Willie seemed to hold it to a high regard, so although it's just his words, it's nice to hear. He seems very anxious to start coaching, and I'm pretty stoked to see what happens this year. It doesn't sound like he's speaking hollow words (ala Torts last year). Even if we're not going to be contending for a cup soon, Willie sounds perfect for our young guys with all his experience and it sounds like we're going to be playing an entertaining system.. The whole culture of our team is changing rapidly. With Gillis and Torts gone, and Linden, Benning and Desjardin in, we just seem all the more respectable.

Bruins - Habs matchup looking pretty likely at this point - yaaaaaay (or the Redwings beating the Bruins would be good too)
