whats the background here on Del Z? I'm out of the loop.

Something about him trying get a porn star to set up dates for him and her quashing his request. Who knows what the truth is, and frankly who cares.

 

In a roster of 20+ guys, there will be a wide variation of personality types, and some will be real characters. What DZ does on his own time is his business, regardless of whether some bim airs it on Twitter like an attention hungry twerp.

 

Posters who demand that all Canucks players possess infallible character need to get their heads out of the puritanical fog.

well... i bet if you conducted an anonymous poll of CDC and asked how many guys would want to be in the NHL and date porn starts the results would be as expected :lol: I thought it was going to be something weirder, at least its legal. 

 

If it was Patrick Kane all would be forgiven by now.

Just had an epic day dream...

 

Game 6... 2018 SCF... Canucks up 3-2 in the series vs Crybaby and the Penguins who have home ice advantage and look to take it home for game 7... 

 

0-0 heading into the 3rd Period... 

1 minute in, Malkin breaks through and puts the Pens up 1-0 

... 30 seconds later they strike again... Kessel 2-0....

 

with only 5 minutes left, MDZ takes a feed from Lord Henrik, shoots... TIPPED by Boeser and it's 2-1! 

Canada Hockey Place goes wild! (still refuse to call it that red company's name)

 

... 30 seconds to go... MDZ gingerly gathers the puck behind the net... goes coast to coast... DROP PASS... EDLER! KABOOM! SCOOOOOOOORESSSS 2-2 and it's tied...

 

fast forward... lots of epic saves by Marky Mark or Nilsson... 

 

6 minutes in 3rd overtime... the cup is in the BUILDING! 

 

MDZ COAST TO COAST! head fake... SHOOTS... Murrays' got it between the pads... OH NO it's trickled through the pads... BURMISTROV PUTS IT IN!!! THEY'VE WON IT! THEY'VE DONE IT! 

 

The prophecy has been fulfilled... 

 

The crowd chants MDZ! MDZ MDZ as Crosby hoists the conn smythe knowing he got robbed by Sid who has stolen the trophy 3 years in a row.

 

MDZ! MDZ! MDZ! 

 

 

man... what's wrong with me... is it october yet?

I just read an article that mentioned Andrei Markov is still a free agent...

I didn't even realize he was available. If Benning was looking for a worldclass powerplay guy to mentor our D-corps on a short term deal (maybe even 1 year), he should have gone Markov instead of Del Zotto. It was strictly an age thing, though.

Markov is basically a decade older than M.D.Z., likely a lot more expensive and injury prone (missed a long time last season), plus he's said to want to return to Montreal on a two-year deal which takes him to 40 yrs old.  While he's more established on the PP it's not a bad idea to buy a lottery ticket on a youngish guy who can still develop into a front-end PP guy, and someone who at worst can still be dealt for draft pick(s)  Good move by Jim..

At least none in your fine town of Vancouver while riding in a limo with his shirt off.   Simply never happens.

Why didn't the poster state whether he was a lhd or rhd as it makes a big difference.  The positions are not interchangeable. Its the same with a winger,  a left winger is different then a right winger and should be stated and not just we signed a winger or defenceman. It was not stated whether he was a lhd or rhd until page three.

Yeah, my mind instantly went there the moment I posted above.  Psh, that line would all spend their time on the ice on the right side, although Hillary would tell people she plays on the left while Trump would tell anyone that would listen it's the "Best Line Evah!"

apparently Del Zotto was ranked 37th overall in the league with Hits (173 hits)...more than Tryamkin and Sbisa...never really though of Del Zotto as a physical presence.  Might be nice to have both a puck mover who can throw his weight around
