Angry Goose

Literally LITERALLY a series of comments about important it is to have people on there with different opinions to keep others honest and critique while offering a different point of view.  A place where you can be open minded and call out others for boorish opinions and for acting like petulant know it alls.

But you got removed for calling out a different mod...by a guy who regularly suggests physically harming or murdering other hockey players on different teams and committing genocide against citizens of a nation in conflict because he is on the other side; for not acting like an adult?

K.  Seems about right for that person.

@Citizen Erased

Actually the Alf’s don’t have TV. haven’t had tv in a long time. Saves money for more scotch! 

I must have missed something. I saw nothing about anybody wanting to harm or murder opposing team’s hockey players. Nor have I seen anything about calling for a genocide.

They’d all most likely come in at a million or less and we have $12.1 million in cap space as of right now

Looks like they've got lots of competition as UFAs.  Don't think they'd be in a position to demand much.

I'd take a chance on Comtois for sure. I'm sure he'll get plenty of calls tomorrow.

Bring back Lammy! 

He's signed for another year with ZSC Lions where Marc Crawford serves as headcoach behind the bench.

Yea he was solid - size, 51% on the dot, 93 hits, killed penalties. Underlying stats were pretty meh but he felt better than a lot of the expensive vets we had over the years. 

Already happened a couple of years ago for me.

I was at the bank, just walking back outside. There's a planter by the bus stop. So I guess a pair of crows made it their nest. The female crow was cawing like crazy.

The male crow attacked me and clawed my scalp. I had to use the mask I was wearing (It was not long after covid) as a bandage to stop the bleeding. I was more worried about the old lady by the bus stop.

I got some rubbing alcohol, went home. Applied the alcohol to my scalp and took a shower just in case.

Hurt like freaking hell.

I’ve learnt to expect nothing. Then you were be surprised if something

does happen 

@Ghostsof1915 @Devron Im ok either way-more just curious.

1994 and 2011 would be better years.

I wish both teams were disqualified so no one wins.

I'm pondering a horse and looking at taking blacksmithing, and vet medicine.

Double threat!

It's true, but a bottom 8 finish can guarantee us a great center or right handed d-man.  If we slide down to 9th or 10th, we're looking at another small winger. 

Perfect world they dont slide outside of 8

Demko is back to Demko and pressure is off. We will be rising fast with the teams ahead of us in the standings having decided that the TDL is a place to sell assets for a premium, drop in the standings and retool in the off-season when the options are less limited.  
It is about maximizing chance of success in the lottery and overall by selling at times when prices are high and buying when they are low.  Or it should be, our plan is about messaging to season ticket holders and short term playoff revenue. 

Goose is messing with us like an Angry Goose.

I like him too! 

what is it that the canucks did wrong with his treatment?

Not sure the Canucks did anything wrong. Wrist/hand injuries can be really difficult to treat, simply because about fifteen bones meet at the wrist. Really, it's like a jigsaw puzzle in there. And if I heard correctly, there is an infection that is like a superbug that is largely resistant to antibiotics. He also requires a fifth surgery at some point. 

that is what I heard also, not sure why Pearson would be upset with the canucks on this one. there are a lot of people that could be mad for one reason or another. Pearson would be ow on my list. wondering if I missed something

i see.

Toc everyone will know what you mean or even Tok.

its eze-c

Can't do conditional picks based on re-signing under the most recent CBA.

Most people spend the holidays thinking about their loved ones.

Yet you choose to think about an online user who you don't like and have never met 

I wished AV a Merry Christmas about 5 mins ago.

Sad some people so easily let go of an honest man who only spoke his mind-ly

And a real Canucks fan who was treated so unkindly 

To quote my 9 year old daughter-

"Merry Christmas nerds"

@Master Mindif you dont like the running joke of status updates then here’s a tissue

”hope this helps”

@luckylager to quote some other 9 year old daughter

”life is good, nerd”

@Bad_BOI_pete 3 of my all time favourite albums were released in the 2000’s ironically 

Converge - Jane Doe

Leviathan - Tentacles of Whorror

Dragged into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind

I will now blast 2000's music in protest

@angry goose Thats not rock, thats metal. never understood scream metal, I like the beats though.

i miss shaw, wish he didnnt choose to leave.

@PhillipBlunt Dont think Shaw was really that huge of a difference maker.  That style of defending is pretty much league standard.  Canucks were still getting shelled nightly and dealing with extended D zone shifts. But at least they didnt look so discombobulated with who is checking who.  

I do. His approach and systems were part of what made the d-corps in both St. Louis and Columbus effective for the time he was there and for at least a season or two after he left both teams as a defensive coach. 

Miller and Horvat for Dobson and Barzal?

If we're going to try and stay competitive, then dead cap will kill us, but if we're fully rebuilding and acquire some picks and bad contracts to bomb, then why not?

Because over a long term it handicaps the franchise too much.  I'm fine with a bad contract that can eventually moved, but any GM who either retains salary or uses a buyout needs to be fired on the spot.

I'd try and move him first.  Retaining $2 million would be fine if JR decides to do a proper rebuild, as the dead cap would be off the books in 4 years once we hopefully are a playoff team again.  At $5 million perhaps he has positive value and we can get a pick or prospect for him.  We would need to convince him that we are rebuilding and that he should move on to a cup contender.  Perhaps he doesn't want to be here either and live through another rebuild like Arizona.  Who knows.

@chon derry@Elias Pettersson @naslund.is.king maybe u guys can answer this for me: if JTM were to be traded before his new contract kicks in, can they retain money only for this season / current contract?

@Angry Goose Yes, his current contract is completely separate from his new one, so any trade could involve retention just for this year...

Hughes is an assist machine, but his primary job is to defend. He's not a forward. And he can get outmuscled, and outworked. If he can bring in a homerun in return I say move him. And that goes for pretty much everyone.

Pearson is no on Long term injury.  If we hold on to him until next season, his UFA year, he will actually have value (likely a fourth rounder) at the 2024 TDL.  We should have done this with Dickinson too.  Aquilini must allow rebuilding moves.  Keep our craperolla, overpaid older guys until their UFA years and trade them for assets, instead of giving up assets (and our future) to dumperoo them early.  We stink in thenow, so what’s the point of moves that aren’t intended to build for a better future. 

LAK has no room at F and will likely have to move out a winger this off-season.  Pearson also far too slow.  Kings have become a really fast team.

Blake also insists on age fit - Pearson too old for the players they are building around.

Nobody wants Pearson even though some on here thinks he is an asset to Vancouver and actually has value.  I am pretty sure JR was trying to trade him in the summer with no takers.  As Alf said, maybe we can unload him at the 2024 TDL for a pick.
