  1. Vanek and Vrbata, although not franchise altering, delivered on their contracts at least. But yeah, it's definitely not a long list.
  2. Ryu out for the year. https://www.mlb.com/news/hyun-jin-ryu-to-have-season-ending-surgery Do the Jays make a trade? I guess Stripling has made it so there isn't necessarily a rush to make one. The best starter in Buffalo, up to this point, looks to be Casey Lawrence, so I don't think that's a long term replacement. I think they kinda have to make a trade here.
  3. Goes to show you how few games the Jays have played against sub 500 teams . Nearly half the number as the Astros
  4. You can't win the division this early on in the season, but you can lose it. The way the Yankees and Rays are playing, the Jays are not winning the division. This meat grinder of a schedule just plain killed the Jays
  5. I know it's early for a season defining game, but how the Jays come out tomorrow will tell a lot about the team. God damn, I hate the Yankees and their sense of entitlement. The way they bitch and moan every borderline pitch and then get their way and run up pitch counts is infuriating. The Jays don't get away with it, they get tossed.
  6. yeah, I was a little surprised by the Rangers too. Must be killing Semien right now. Ah well, that's the risk when you chase the biggest contract. Granted the consolation prize of dump trucks upon dump trucks of money is one most would take.
  7. I was looking at the standings, and man, the AL Central is a dogs breakfast.
  8. Sounds like Cole was very complimentary of Vladdy. High praise from a great pitcher.
  9. I wonder when they'll close that loop hole. Edit: Wouldn't be hard, just make the cap apply in the playoffs.
  10. I think of Tapia as similar to Ben Revere from a few years ago. Not as good numbers, but similar skill set to give the Jay's line up a different look some nights.
  11. Yes, my Canucks binder at least. I thought about using points, but then all the goalies would be at the back. I settled on games played, heh, about the only metric you could use that would put Harold Snepsts on the same page as Henrik Sedin. And really, belong on the "same page" when you're talking about important Canucks in Canucks lore. Decided to use playoff + regular season games because the theme of the binder is I'll have when I'm done (only need 5 now), 1 card for every Canuck that played a meaningful game in a Canuck jersey their card as a Canuck.
  12. Motte exits the Canucks 155th in all-time Canuck scoring. Not bad when some people would have rather a 7th round pick over him. Kinda interesting comparables just above and below him. 154. Jarkko Ruutu RW 267 23 28 51 155. Tyler Motte C 196 28 22 50 156. Marc Crawford LW 176 19 31 50 Through playoff and regular season, Motte wore the Canuck jersey 213 times. Pictured below are some other players in that range.
  13. Agree. Simply put, Schenn has played better than Hamonic, making him redundant (at that cap hit anyway). Nice trade.
  14. Reshuffling something in the outfield to get another left handed bat in the lineup might be nice as well.
  15. They could, but they also like to rotate the spot around Bichette and the outfielders too.
  16. Honestly, I'd rather see what the Jays have in Espinal than Villar pt 2.
  17. With his 1st goal of the season plus a helper, Myers is the highest mover up the all-time Canuck scoring list, into 142nd 141. Peter McNab C 89 24 31 55 142. Tyler Myers D 176 13 42 55 143. J.J. Daigneault D 131 9 46 55 144. Dave Scatchard C 179 26 28 54 144. Steve Bernier RW 140 26 28 54 144. Blair MacDonald RW 88 26 28 54 147. Derek Dorsett RW 184 20 34 54 148. Jeff Brown D 72 10 44 54 149. Brent Peterson C 146 15 38 53
  18. Horvat's 2 goal night moves him into 18th in all-time Canuck scoring 17. Greg Adams LW 489 179 190 369 18. Bo Horvat C 550 156 187 343 19. Patrik Sundstrom C 374 133 209 342
  19. I know, it was a facetious question.
  20. Seeing many more maskless people in stores now (Chilliwack). Guess the protests worked and all mandates have been removed now?
  21. Tyler Motte into 159th in all-time Canuck scoring with his goal and assist tonight. 158. Jason Garrison D 128 15 34 49 159. Tyler Motte C 184 27 21 48 160. Brent Ashton C 124 23 25 48 161. Bill Muckalt RW 106 20 28 48 162. Tom Fergus C 80 19 29 48 163. Manny Malhotra C 159 18 30 48 164. Antoine Roussel LW 141 17 31 48
  22. Yeah, although Boldirev played in a higher scoring era. Also had the benefit of playing his years here when he was older, more established as a player.
  23. Petey into 46th in all-time Canuck scoring with his 3pt game in a losing effort. 45. Bobby Lalonde C 353 72 117 189 46. Elias Pettersson C 216 79 106 185 47. Ivan Boldirev C 216 80 104 184
