  1. The Leafs only have 19 ROW's, the Canucks have 24. In these tight tight races, ROW's is a tie-breaker. The Leafs have the least amount of ROW's of any team holding a playoff spot.
  2. The Buff trade netted them a 1st and a 2nd, but they also gave up some other players. But anyhow those picks have not materialized yet. The guy they traded Ladd for is now in the KHL, the guy they traded Campberll for is in the Swiss league. And they got Stallberg for Versteeg, so one guy, out of all those moves was in their lineup for the last cup. Most of those moves were cap related, not smart hockey moves that have made them a better team.
  3. Oh you mean like the Flyers did with Richards and Carter... how's that working for them? They probably will be a cup contender again, eventually, but they missed the playoffs last year, and still have less points than our Canucks this season. Any rebuild/re-tool or whatever you want to call it doesn't happen overnight. Canucks have prospects, and a lot of these terrible NTC's like Kesler, Hammer, Juice are up in 2 more seasons. That's nothing compared to the rebuilds Oilers and Flames fans have had to live through. If Kassian keeps progressing, if Horvat and Gaunce and Hunter can become solid NHL'ers, and whatever we can add through free agency. If you can't stomach a couple years of a team that has potential but can be frustrating on a lot of nights, then let me pull the wagon over for you, and you can get off. And me personally, will miss the s**t out of guys like Juice, Kesler, Burrows, Luongo, Hammer, and the Sedins when their time in Vancouver is over. They have been a great team, and a great bunch of guys and I'll support them till their last day as a Canuck. They've been awesome, and I don't see that they're done just yet.
  4. If the Oilers were number 8 in the West right now, their fans would be over the moon. They were out of the playoffs after 13 games. Suck it up, or change teams every 5 years so your team is always winning their division, scoring tons of goals, and full of young superstars. Whether this group is as bad as they've played recently, or can still turn things around, they've poured everything they've had on the ice for years now, for the Canucks, and themselves, and it's a joke hearing people who call themselves Canuck fans attack their character, or dedication, because 8th place isn't up to their standards. Have fun being a Pens fan....
  5. Obviously the Hawks have taken their foot off the pedal here in the 3rd, but this is another game where the Canucks compete for most of the game, but it's the 5 minutes they disappear for that costs them.
  6. Talking about things that were better in 2011... the green men.
  7. Canucks getting their chances. Need one soon if we're going to have a chance.
  8. Are those Richardson clones, the Richardsonsons, ready yet??
  9. Canucks have slowly started to push back a bit. A goal before the break would be huge.
  10. I haven't seen anyone run wild on someone like this since Hulkamania. I guess the Canucks have learned that playing well in opening 15 seconds of a game and getting a lucky goal against the grain of play doesn't guarantee a win like it used to.
  11. Wow Ben Scrivens. 52 saves. It used to take Devin Dubnyk 30 games to make that many.
  12. I dunno if it's related to the Hawks suddenly leading, or if a maniac has escaped and is running amuck downtown, but right after the goal a helicopter has appeared and there are sirens everywhere.
  13. Hammer on his back. Exactly the type of thing the mayor of Sochi doesn't want in his town.
  14. It was the US commentators. Lou knew what he was doing when he acquired Schneids. I just don't think he is known at all back east. He might as well be Johan Hedberg to them. Marty is saying he wants to be traded because Schneider is stealing his job. (It's what he does)
  15. Yeah he was on a team like early Lemieux or Yzerman. 100+ points, -50.
