  1. Did the concord ever fly over surrey/white rock in the mid 80's?  Maybe for the Abbotsford airshow?

      @Ghostof1915, yes it was here for Expo, and flew over our relatives house, when we were in their pool. One of those sunny, hot, summer days. That thing was so damn huge.

  3. Let's hope the Islander's next top line center decides to sign with his hometown team too. :bigblush:

  4. We still have ~18 mil in cap space after the new free agents. Still need to sign Jake and Stecher but we're not going to be close to the cap.

      @Tystickhow do they become public? Just think all of the thunder is being taken away from the Toronto Sports Network.

      Are the Canucks above the cap floor? I hope they stay the course and not spend for the sake of spending. BTW, how is it that these signings are already out?

  8. do you ever wonder about all the singer, song writers that died young, what he could have given us, had they lived a full life?

      Lots of rumours of them getting together for quick gigs. Think of how much the Stones, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Clapton and other 60's and 70's groups have performed their music over the years. They're still touring, and selling out world wide. I can't get excited over anything that's on the radio from the current performers.

      I'm wondering what might have been if Joplin and Hendrix lived past 27. Wasn't a real Morrison fan, but, he too, was 27.

      I'm sure the others on the 23 man roster, say and think the same thing.

  12. i can't believe fans, being so upset because we aren't losing every game. someone on 650 wants management fired because the are screwing up the tank. makes me feel ashamed to be a canuck's fan.

    1. johngould21

      johngould21

      Couldn't agree more Joe. I can't fathom any pro in any sport deliberately wanting to lose so the team can get a better draft pick position. Close to a dozen players on the Canuck team are playing for their careers. Is it any wonder why radio and newsprint are in a freefall?

  13. Cowards who run in packs and attack special needs people?  There's a special place in hell for them.  I work with autistic people and this makes me cringe.

      I just watched an update from Edmonton on Global TV news. Apparently gangs of punks are attacking unsuspecting people in public places. 40?? some odd were arrested. What's going on World?

      I watched two periods last night, the first two. We then finished Broadchurch on Netflix. As hard as these kids and this group is trying, that isn't an NHL roster. Just once in my lifetime, I'd like two things from the Canucks, a Stanley Cup, and a first overall draft pick.

  17. CDC - what do you recommend for a high-quality drip coffee machine that does not use pods? 

    1. johngould21

      johngould21

      We have a Bunn, got it in the US of A, back when the dollar was at par. $99, it makes a really quick pot of coffee, in less than 3 minutes.

  18. C'mon Province.  I know the Nucks are on a break but that doesn't mean your 'coverage' of the team can go on vacay as well.  Do something on the prospects or Utica instead of another page dedicated to the Leafs.  What a joke.

    1. johngould21

      johngould21

      I saw that in yesterdays Province, an entire page of TML's, not a mention of the Canucks.

  19. can you imagine our team playing that brand of hockey every game. love the swedes game. fast and high intensity. 

    pettersson and dahlin. we're half way there.

  20. So many missed calls..

    1. johngould21

      johngould21

      Jake made the mistake of questioning the ref on the first hack to the hands, yes, two more went uncalled. That tickytac call on Biega was a winner though.

      I first met Jim Robson, similar greeting to yours Deb. When they allowed riff raff like me into the Coliseum to watch Canuck practices as well as the other visiting teams, I got the nerve to approach him and strike up a conversation. Very down to earth guy. He could write several books I'm sure. I hope someone in his immediate family is jotting down notes.

  22. Watching highlight reels of the twins absolutely blows my mind. If any player made the plays we see them do even once, we'd go nuts. I'm now realizing how much I took their playmaking for granted.

  23. The first question for Markstrom after the game was Jeff Paterson's -- "I didn't mean to lead with it" regarding the lost shutout.

     

    Then later says -- "I don't mean to be a buzzkill" again regarding the lost shutout. 

     

    Canucks beat a top team on Saturday night and Markstrom had a dominant night. Why can't you just not be a lump of coal?

      How Paterson gets airtime is beyond me, tries so hard to be that controversial guy....
