Exactly. He's a Canuck now whether people are happy about it or not. How about everyone stop complaining and start rooting for this kid to do well?
It's like looking at the proverbial glass filled halfway: is it half full? Or half empty?
I'm going to think it's half full.
Don't know enough about the draft picks (outside of the top 4) to have any strong opinion on this.
Hometown kid. Hope he does well.
Welcome to Hell Vancouver, Jake!
I don't want LA to win the cup this year - but certainly not San Jose. Would serve the Sharks right for some of their more blatant fish flopping on the ice antics last year and this year. All teams do it (including LA) but San Jose's, to me, are the most blatant.
I dislike both teams. However, after SJ's horrible 'crybaby' & epic diving routine in the last playoffs, I'm feeling a bit vindictive.
San Jose Chokes! Go LA!!
Well, I look at it this way: We lose, we get a higher draft pick :D We win, slim chance to make playoffs.
Either or, for me. Though at this point in the season, I'd prefer a higher draft pick.
Like others have said - surprised this day finally happened. Not sure if happy with this trade (in terms of what we got back) but I am sad to see Lou go.
So... firesale?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we have 7 defencemen on tonight?
- Bieksa
- Hamhuis
-Garrison
-Tanev
- Edler
- Stanton
- Weber
I swear I've seen all of them on the ice tonight. Am I seeing things?
Just listening to HNIC (Montreal/Toronto game) - Grapes says Vancouver will 'be alright' (re: slump) and expects Vancouver to be in the finals?!
*howls* Well, I and every Canuck fan would LOVE that - but doubt it this year.
As for this game? Praying for a win tonight - 4-2 Canuck win; if not, expect a 3-1 loss.
At this point, we could have a 5-on-3 (or several) and still not score. *shakes head* Might as well go do something else. This team is done for the night. *sigh*
