This is the Canucks so he probably ruptured his spleen and is out for 3-4 years. -
Hey, I found a couple treasures in those A&B Sound bargain bins! One was a collection of the top 100 classical songs of all time, I think it was a 4-CD set going for like $5, and I bought it on a whim, figuring it must have some good stuff on it. And it had this! I was in awe listening to it for the first time. I'm not religious but I'm a sucker for huge church choirs. I'm probably one of about a dozen people on the planet who would say this is their favourite song of all time, but it gives me goosebumps every time.

I wish we were a single top-pair RHD away from being a contender, and maybe we are. Sometimes a single key player can have a huge ripple effect on the entire roster. But I don't think any of Stillman, Dermott, or Burroughs makes a contending roster, and OEL/Myers would be fine as a 3rd pairing but are paid like 1st pairing guys which really limits our options at acquiring another solid D-man or good defensive depth forward that I really think we need.

If this team was close to being a cup contender, and adding a couple of really good pieces right now gave us a good chance of winning it all in the next couple of years, then yes. But right now, nope.

[Official] Out of TANK Scoreboard and Discussion Thread
Strawbone replied to AngryElf's topic in Canucks Talk
We're playing as badly as any team in the league. We can do this! I really don't want to see many more 6-1 blowouts though. Keep it competitive and keep morale up. The team can't look like they've completely given up. They need to lose because they are not good enough, not because they are not trying. -
[Rumour] Coyotes gauging market on Jakob Chychrun

Trust me, you're not alone. -
While "should of" is never right, technically I think he said "shoulda". It's tricky when you're quoting someone, people use all kinds of contractions in day to day speech that look sloppy when written. If he'd written "should've" that would have been an incorrect transcription too. Look at me being all pedantic!

Remember back when Martin got us points in like 9 straight games and people were speculating that we might not even need Demko? And then a bunch of other people pointed out how terrible Martin's underlying numbers were and we were only getting points because we were unsustainably out-scoring our problems? Those people were right!

This thread confused the hell out of me for a bit. Didn't we just play Detroit? Did I go back in time overnight? And then I realized oh, it's totally possible to play the same team again at home. I just assumed this was another game in Detroit which didn't make any sense. It's gonna be a looong Monday.

How America lost its mind—and how to get rationality back
Strawbone replied to VancouverHabitant's topic in Off-Topic General
LOL, I just saw the ad for that during the Super Bowl and it was very much a WTF moment! Like, how does that little news story make it in to a feature film playing in actual movie theatres? -
I dunno man, he's played a bunch on McDavid's wing and looked really unimpressive. That's hard to do. I'm not sure he's got what it takes to be a good NHL player. Reminds me a bit of Virtanen, just endless frustration watching a guy who's big, strong, has a hard shot, and can skate like the wind do... pretty much nothing.
