  1. Honestly, if he was making something like $5.8m as a third line center, and wasn't captain, I'd absolutely love him on the team. But he feels like a good support player, not someone to build a team around. He was made captain kind of by default it seems to me, and I don't see how you can walk that back now. He'd thrive somewhere like Pittsburgh where he wouldn't have to be "the guy" and wouldn't have pressure to lead the team. I just don't see that consistent intensity and will to win.
  2. I agree. And it's not a knee-jerk reaction to last night's stinker. Bo is a very good player, but I've felt for a while now that he's not the guy to lead this team to the next level, and I think he'd bring back enough assets in a trade to improve the team long-term.
  3. What a bunch of Debbie Downer’s around here! Awesome first, bad second, win da turd and everything will be forgiven!
  4. Doesn't look terrible, and will be easy enough to ignore. Sponsorship dollars at least help keep ticket and beer prices at low, low levels, amiright??
  5. I don’t understand how a player who is 100% fine needs a maintenance day lol. So is he playing tonight?
  6. God I hope so. I feel like Rathbone-Poolman is going to get schooled by McDavid.
  7. Was the starting lineup listed? Rathbone is one of the 7 D active for opening night, but I didn't see tonight's actual lineup posted. Maybe I missed it.
  8. If we don't make the playoffs this year, I don't think it's because of the puppy lol. I bet most of those players got on the plane a little happier because most people really like puppies, I don't see any harm in that. If they start involving the puppy in on-ice drills then I'll start worrying about it.
  9. Stop kissing the dog! It's Canucks luck, I just know players are going to start going down with dog-lick-related illnesses in the next few days.
  10. Brock is looking and sounding as positive as I've ever seen him. I think between Covid restrictions and his dad's health the last couple of years, he was really weighed down mentally and is going to have a great season. I'm calling 30 goals and 30 assists.
  11. Sounds like there’s at least chance he plays in the opener. Must have been really minor surgery.
  12. “Maintenance days” just code for injured but hopefully not too bad.
  13. No news on Garland? Making me nervous here, we don’t need another top 6 guy out with injuries to start the season.
  14. Gotta say all these in crowd shots and music and people dancing makes the game more fun to watch. Feels like a giant party at Rogers Arena. Is this just for preseason or is this gonna be a regular thing? Or it’s always been like this and I never noticed lol?
