  1. "Won the popular vote" what a joke. 4 more years.

  2. Hi stealth, could you possibly pin the softwood tariff thread in off topic so British Columbians can have an important subject staring them in the face?

     

    There are major implications to trucking, harvesting and environmental implications.

      Well it should come up in the debates! BC will be watching.

      They will all say well BC jobs, Ottawa should protect them.... And in the end what can they do about it? Have Christy say she'll join a group of Russian women for entertainment?

      Yep lots of passing the buck in politics. NDP should have a lot to say about it as they're linked heavily to forestry. Libs are Conservatives so they will have their word play. Greens will applaud the lowering of sustainable harvest. It's really not a bad thing for BC so far. It might mean 12.5% reduction in wages/jobs though overall thru the entirety of the trade deal. See my post in the topic for further elaboration.

  3. When is the draft lottery? Asking here because I wanted the FB livestream case to go away. (was on the status page at the time) Hate it when people bring that kinda negativity to a place I come to frolic.

  4. Hello Stealth, was wondering if I could change my username subtitle to "Bringer of sawdust"

     

    I am a Western Red Cedar sawyer, so the name is apt!

     

    Thanks for the consideration.

      Well, seeing as though my god is the sun.... I'd be freaked out to be titled "maker of trees growing"

       

      Thanks for the laugh GB.

  5. RDP and Interlock.. If anyone has gone thru either program, please message me. I have some questions.

  6. Every member of CDC!!! I suggest you use all your pluses today. Oh it's been a WILD and Boestest day. (sorry to rip you off Deb)

  7. Really don't want to lose Gaunce to Expansion. I remember losing Scott Walker one year (NSH), that stung. What's a scenario to keep him?

      The scenario we keep him - McPhee picks Sbisa, because McPhee's a NHL GM and will definitely take Sbisa over Gaunce.

       

      If JB manages to trade Edler / Tanev / Guddy beforehand, I wouldn't be surprised to see McPhee pick Dorsett over Gaunce.

      luckylager, that's your opinion. Don't pretend to know. I get where you're coming from though.

       

      I think we'll see Gaunce as one of our better players finishing out this year. He's really waking up.

    4. luckylager

      luckylager

      For sure Red, in my opinion McPhee would be crazy to take Gaunce over Sbisa. I also would be surprised to see Dors taken if Sbisa ends up traded or protected.

       

      There are so many scenarios that could play out, lots of time before the ED for trades and / or deals with Vegas. JB could pressure a guy like Edler to waive or be exposed.... Edler could get a really good return, maybe a good young center, making Sutter expendable and encouraging him to waive before the ED as well.

       

      Ideally we expose Dors, Biega and Bachman... if that's even allowed.

       

       

       

  8. ing to bet at least one D goes today. Shall be exciting.

  11. Eriksson is munged out 24-7. E+WTF=space

  12. Auston Watson was a rookie in 2013-14. Looking really good now.

      Fair enough, I was going off of a hockey card and the 2 mins I've seen him play in the NHL.

      Sounds like you need to #Chillthe****out though.

  13. #FreeTryamkin You propagated his dreams and signed him, made him leave mother Russia... PLAY HIM! or in two years, do we give him to EDM for a 5th. WTF. Larsen is literally Weber. Am I wrong?

      Hahah yea I remember Krutov, man was he ever talented, too bad he ate himself out of the NHL. Thanks for the reminder Joe :P 

       

      Tough to say Joe, IMO I think Trymak just needs a little push rather than sent back to Russia, he could be the type of D we need.

      As long as the KHL exists, it will always be risky drafting and signing Russians.  JB gave this particular Russian an "out-clause" in his contract.  If things go south for the Canucks in regards to Tryamkin, the blame can be laid at the feet of both JB and WD.

       

      The "Russian Factor" has claimed the Canucks as its latest victim.  Unfortunately though this wound is partially self-inflicted.

      I really want Willie to play Try too but we have a deep defensive lineup and he will only be inserted into the lineup is if any of our defencemen get injured which is the case with Tanev but we called up Stecher which only seems logical but to put Troy in the lineup as much as I want Try to play.

  14. en's our next pick? like 45?

  16. How does one go about getting Jersey names and numbers changed? I live on the island. Is there somewhere I can mail to?

      There has to be a sports check or jersey city or something of the sort on the island no ?

  18. It seems to me that Kass, KB3 and Lack all have something in common.. I'm beginning to see things from a different scope. I've always wanted Prust here but never in a million years thought it'd be Kass+ to get him.
