  1. Anyone having trouble accessing accessing CDC through Chrome on desktop? 

  2. Random question. Is there some sort of rule against a team signing a goaltender that's just a dude so obese that he fills up the entire net?

      Somebody that heavy would blow out their knees pretty quickly.

      Look at Robin Lehner's injury history - he's the heaviest goaltender in the league.

      Ben Bishop was tall and heavy, and also eventually succumbed to injury.

       

      This is why Ian Clark is constantly chasing "length". Not necessarily size, mass, heft... just really long, flexible limbs.

      @chon derry you're right but butterbean would still leave gaps in a hockey net. The degree of obesity needed to take up the whole net is obscene.

  3. I'm so tired...

      Good job. The first week is always the hardest, but by now, the worst of your withdrawal symptoms should be over. Now it's up to you to redirect your mind if during any future cravings. You can do this!

      Nice work! Are you familiar with the author Allen Carr? His book(s) might be of some help. Definitely helped me, and only 10 or 15 bucks on Amazon.

       

      ...worth a look at the very least.

  5. Finally decided to quit smoking. Just finished my first 24 hour period in years without one. Wish me luck.

  6. RIP Norm Macdonald. Probably one of the funniest people to ever live, and homegrown to boot. Just an absolute legend in every sense of the word.

      He comes from an interesting family, his brother is Neil MacDonald, with CBC news for years. 

  7. Friday night + new Iron Maiden album. The best combo.

      Just listening to the new album now and I gotta say I really love it - it's classic Maiden with those great riffs and harmonies. Some beautiful stuff from Murray, Smith and Gers. 

  8. Petition to change the sunglasses smiley from B ) to something else. So many times I've tried to list things A, B, C etc...only to be mocked by that smug bastard.

      I got pretty tired and had some minor chills and aches for about a day a few days after, but it didn't last much longer than 24 hours.

    3. ForestFalcon

      ForestFalcon

      Yeah, day 2 was rough, early on mix of minor chills and fever that went away by late morning, but then pretty bad headache and tiredness for the rest of the day. However, worst of it had passed by the evening. Also had pain in the arm that followed a similar pattern, but the headache was the worst part for me.

    4. Roberts

      Roberts

      @ForestFalconright, i forgot about the headaches. that was rough for me too.

  10. What a crazy day.

  11. The market is all over the place today. At this point I'm expecting a top 4 RHD for Holtby and a 36 year old 4th line winger for our 9th overall.

    1. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      You'd get offered a top 4 RHD in the ECHL for Holtby.:lol:  

       

      Actually that would be more valuable for us as it gets rid of $4 million in cap space for a ECHL player you can hide their entire cap hit in the ECHL.

       

      Make it happen Jim!

    2. morrissex95

      morrissex95

      I think a 3rd round pick for Holtby would be a great return, as long as we're only retaining $1 Million. Schmidt could probably fetch a 2nd, I don't think it's worth trading him honestly unless we need the money. Virtanen won't get anything and we don't have anything else to trade. If we could get something for Virtanen, I'd ask for a 3rd or 4th round pick. 

       

      If we get offered a first for Schmidt though, we take it even if it's after 25OV. We need to get as many young players into this organization so when our vets regress or can't play at all we've got a good replacement. We only have five draft picks this year, we haven't picked in the first round for two consecutive years and now that we've made our big move it's time to be conservative.

       

       

       

       

  12. Someone make me feel better about this whole thing plz

      Kole Lind had 0 goals, 0 assists and a -4 in 7 games. He had some flashes of promise, but he didn't have a good stint at all.

      I don't think he's NHL ready yet, so Seattle took a dud for their expansion pick because they're ultimately going to have to resend him down to the AHL later.

    3. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      We kept Gadjovich, who would be harder to replace.

    4. VforVasili

      VforVasili

      Decent chance he has to pass through waivers at some point, and we can claim him back.

  13. Little worried about Petersson being offer sheeted.

      Do you always worry about things beyond your control?

      I heard a saying once.
       

      You are depressed because you are living in the past & you are anxious because you are worrying about the future.

      Most of our big cap hits are off the books next year so people really need to stop making our situation out to be worse than it actually is. 

  14. Legit thought the OEL deal would go down today. Don't we kinda need to know what our team and cap situation looks like before we head into free agency?

    1. luckylager

      luckylager

      I assume JB has a couple ufa targets in mind and would prefer to not trade away young players.

      For example, if he can get Pietrangelo at the same hit as OEL, why trade?

    2. luckylager

      luckylager

      He'll still have to give something up to unload Sutter, Rooster etc, but the ask won't be as damaging.

      Can walk from Marky and Tanev, get a vet 1b option... lots of opportunities I think 

    3. JM_

      JM_

      for sure Lucky, its like a walk through your garden, lots of good options out there to get the job done. 

       

      I have no doubt Benning has been in touch already with other player agents who's clients want to be here as well. 

       

      What I don't want to see is an overpayment or another anchor contract, other than that the should be a fun part of keeping the window open. 

  15. Whatever happens tonight, I'm proud of our boys. They were never supposed to get anywhere close to this far, and yet here they are. As fans, we couldn't ask for more. 

  16. Nice to shut those bastards up.

  18. Before these playoffs started I was of the mindset these playoffs would have an asterisk beside them no matter what. Now that we're in the thick of it, and with an uncertain future ahead of us, I'm all in. Let's see how far we can take this thing!

    1. JM_

      JM_

      the quality of play has been excellent in every series, save maybe a few of the round robin games.

       

      the intensity seems to really be up, I think due to the fact that the players can all hear each other really well. I wish we had a feed with the trash talk. 

  19. This gave me a chuckle.

      At least some folks are having fun. 

  20. Just found out that the Canucks Twitter account has me blocked xD

     

    I guess that's what happens when you're an asshole on social media.

      Probably spouted off after a loss before the stoppage or something. I tend to get emotional during games, so it honestly isn't that surprising xD

      they're probably desperately searching for a look-alike to take over as a puppet. 

  22. So, Tanev played every game of the 2019/20 season.

      damn

      i guess i shoulda placed that bet in vegas

      i'm sure the odds against that happening were extremely long

       

      maybe i coulda won tickets to the upcoming game this week

      in vegas

      involving the knights and some other team

      which will not be played now

    2. Coconuts

      May not have reached 82 but his durability was a huge piece of our being in the playoff picture
