      In that Goodfellas', Joe Pesci, hot-headed manner? Agreed!

       

      Hey Binny..you're a FUNNY guy!(he dared to utter at the dinner table...)

  2. Canucks struck gold with Aman. Maybe not 24K gold but dang he is one of my players to watch.  Just wait till he gets more comfortable and confident in the league.

  3. I hope Kessel wins another Stanley Cup this year

  4. With the Canucks presumably in the toilet for this season, I REALLY hope they announce a Diablo IV release date soon. 

  5. Why is it impossible to find a shorter (aprox 50” or less) 1” barbell?  I want to do some DL’s or bent over rows at home with the 1” plates I have.  I see a lot of EZ curl bars for sale but I want a straight bar

      Get a trap bar?

      get a hack saw?

  6. Dang, Im thinking Poolman is done.  

    1. Sean Monahan

      Sean Monahan

      I thought he was seen limping last night? If it's unrelated to his prior head injuries he should be back at some point.

      @Sean Monahan there was a few tweets/reports of him being in concussion protocol.  I dont know how accurate they are tho

    3. fanfor42

      fanfor42

      OEL's reaction seems to suggest it is head related again - if so Poolman may be unable to play anytime soon.  Nux get LTIR relief but that doesn't cover bonuses so there can be a downside going forward.

       

      The causes of recurring migraines that he has are not well known and not necessarily curable.  It can be debilitating for years and years for anyone, not just hockey players.

      Bieksa with the best dig at John Scott..."what do you do when a guy who can't skate challenges you to fight? You go around him and score."

       

      John Scott needs to do himself a solid and get out of hockey and put his engineering degree to good use.

      It would be rather funny seeing Brilac walk into someones open balcony, enter the apartment and grab a computer chair.

      Oh? Didn't you say this was free?

  10. Mike McKenna had really positive things to say about Dickinson as a person/athlete.  Let’s hope last year was a down year indeed/he bounces back.

      @Canucks Curse and just a little bit of finish? He was getting a bunch of scoring chances. An extra goal or assist here and there would go a long way I bet. He definitely feeds off of confidence. 

    3. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      Dont put him in a position to fail (center).  He was used mainly as a winger in Dallas.  Put him in a position to succeed.  Use him as a defensive winger.  

    4. Bure_Pavel

      He is a PKing winger, I think he will bounce back this year and be only slightly overpaid. 

  11. Stranger Things sold out.

      I enjoyed the first part of the season, but I agree, not a fan of the second part.

  12. Predictions on where UFA Motte lands? Contract? Im betting he didnt think he was going to be still waiting for a contract at this point.  His rumoured ask of 2million + from the Canucks seems to have backfired.

  16. Finally got around to starting Ted Lasso.  Am I ever getting Boudreau vibes from it.

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Amazing how well they keep it balanced. Would be so easy to step into cheesy sentimentality with a character like Lasso but they balance it brilliantly. 

  17. Who is good at breaking down stats?  One thing Id like to see is goals scored relative to the context of the game i.e game winners are obviously very important goals vs scoring a goal in 1-4 loss or scoring the fifth goal in a 5-2 win.  Im curious how Boeser’s goal scoring breaks down in this context.

      Not many advanced sites places. You should check out the app StatMuse if you want to find this like GWG, SHG, etc. you can just straight up search your question in that app.

      @Rick Blightinteresting. Ill have to look at that site.

      I used to love hockey-reference, but a lot of their best stats are now behind a paywall, which is unfortunate. The timing worked out reasonably well though as it aligned with when NHL.com made a huge upgrade to their stats.

  18. Car Detailers: what’s your goto sealant durability wise other than a ceramic coating? My car parks under an oak tree and the sap/pollen/watermark residue gets pretty nasty.  AND I have a black car so 2x the fun.  I could do a ceramic coating but paint correction would take forever.  Maybe I should just do that.  Or, if you can recommend a spray sealant that works Im all ears.  Dont mind re-applying once a week.  FYI Meguiars M21 synth sealant doesnt last long/hold up.

      Bird poop..the ultimate sealant.

      Damn stuff is so difficult to remove from the car.

      I'm not a car guy, but I watched a few Chris Fix youtube videos and I think he's got a segment on just what you're talking about @Angry Goose

  19. Stranger Things S4 was so bad

    1. NucknAsia

      NucknAsia

      @Angry Gooseyou know, I thought the same initially, until I read some articles on it. It seems they threw alot of hints in there that I missed and were clearly for the real fans who were really paying attention. If you caught those sprinkled through the episodes and still disliked it, ok...but I am going to rewatch it now because I think it was actually better than I thought - but I missed the subtle hints...

    2. Master Mind

      Master Mind

      I enjoyed it. Probably moreso than seasons 2 and 3.

       

      Season 4 of Ozark on the other hand...

    3. Angry Goose

      Angry Goose

      @nuckinasia I couldnt get past a bunch of the exposition. Way too many corny moments occurring at the wrong time. For example: if youre in the upside down, pretty sure youre too terrified to tell corny jokes and have these romance moments. There was just too much of type of stuff every episode for me. S1 had a much more serious horror/thriller vibe.  I miss that.

  21. Who would have thought Trouba becomes one of the league’s most punishing hitters?  

     

    Im so jealous of team’s w/ players like him. 

    1. J-23

      He is a beast.

    2. Pears

      I’m not jealous when said player targets the head 90% of the time. 

  22. Good Trent Cull interview.  Should put to rest any concerns that he doesnt have the best interests/development of players in mind.  I think with the support of new mgmt. group Cull should be able to really hone in on being patient w/ Canucks prospects

    1. King Heffy

  24. So I thought it might be cool to add the Ritchie brothers in VAN.  Of course Nick seems to be doing well in ARZ all of a sudden smh.  

     

    Also, hows Rickard Rakell playing these days?  Aside from production, I’d like to see how his skating is.  Guess Ill have to tune into PIT game

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      I'd rather have Nick over Dickinson to be sure.

      @Elias Pettersson You would probably be complaining as well if they let him walk free.

    3. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Benning allowed our top players to walk for free. Not a 4th liner. Big difference. Trying to make a playoff push and make the playoffs with the best 4th line in the NHL in my opinion was more important than getting a 4th round pick. 

    4. bigbadcanucks

      bigbadcanucks

      Push for the playoffs?  Yah, that train has left the station, with or without Motte.  This version of the Canucks will be lucky if they end the season 2-3 games above .500.  I'll be shocked if the Canucks can play .500 hockey the rest of the season. 

      The best fourth line in the NHL is going to give you a good shot at the playoffs?  Not likely when your best players aren't the best players every night.
