  1. PP with a chance to tie the game... this has not gone well lately
  2. Only down a goal, but we are not a third period team this year. Need a bounce here!
  3. I guess if Dutch Getzky can be traded, anyone can be traded.
  4. Just what the Canucks need, guys worried about their future here. TSN talking Edler being targeted.
  5. But the cross check came from battling for position, it wasn't vicious. That's a fair play, Booth accidentally on purpose got his stick up in the face and the Jets guy sold it.
  6. We tie it up, and when we are pressing for the lead with the Jets on their heels a bit, we take an undisciplined penalty in the O zone, not once but twice. Canucks aren't getting any breaks but you don't deserve breaks pulling bone head moves like that.

  8. Not officially right now. They've got it from Kes and Sedin.
  9. I'm dying to see a Burr n Arrow! He's gotta score tonight
  10. Jets 10th place, fans filled with fire and optimism. Canucks....
  11. Traffic getting on to the Lions Gate = moving slower than Hanks hands on a penalty shot. Be lucky to get home for the 3rd
  12. Injuries taking their toll. All kinds of guys playing rolls and minutes they aren't ready for.
  13. If we win, we'll be tied with the defending Stanley Cup champions for wins in the month of January. Just 27 games left, it'd be nice to go in to the break with a couple gutsy road efforts in our pockets. Re-group, heal, hopefully our Canadian guys come back with another gold, and then it's essentially playoff games for us the stretch of the way. Maybe it's because I'm from an era of Canuck teams where I remember '91 beating Winnipeg on the last game of the season in a 'whoever wins is in' game, just to make the playoffs with 60-something points, but I always enjoy a season where it is a struggle just to make it more than a season where the division is clinched with 20 games remaining and you're left to think too far ahead.
  14. The Hawks had 10 players on last year's team that were a part of the first cup win. Most of those 10 players played huge roles to win both. How many Canucks are left from 2011? You're going to argue it was the Hawks turnover rate that saw them win a second cup??? I agree with everything you're saying about turning over a roster that's aging, but the Hawks are the worst example of that. They drafted top picks, they turned out to be the studs everyone predicted them to be, they lured a huge free agent in Hossa (the Pens and Wings couldn't keep him), they won young, waited a couple years to add some pieces they lost (and make no mistake about it, they lost Buff and Ladd) and most importantly they waited for their goalie to learn how to win, and for the core guys to be hungry enough again to make the sacrifices it takes to win the cup.
