      That is a bummer

  3. Hopefully Benning is looking hard at acquiring Brenden Dillon. The defense could stand to be a little harder to play against, and Dillon would fill that role nicely.

      @TNucks1, definitely Jordan Nolan.

       

      Not sure why I got those two confused, but I did.

      Could use a tough guy like that, Benning should have resigned Schenn to a 1 year deal rather than signing some other guys :ph34r:. Good 7th dman who can come in and play physical.

       

      Go after Dumba, hasn't been a great season, maybe get him for cheap. Minny would prob want picks and/or prospects tho

    4. luckylager

      luckylager

      Dumba's gonna cost a lot if they're even willing to move him. 

      Guaranteed minny wants a 1st+ prospect + nhler.

       

      Would be like 1st, Madden, Stech IMO, and Stech might not be enough.

      Frankly, I just want to enjoy the game for what it is and forget all the crap that's been hanging over the team lately.

      I don't want to argue all the time. It's no fun for anyone.

      Thank you, 6of1. Regarding the political discussion, those days are behind me. Here for the hockey, and the cavalcade of whimsy and despair that comes with being a Canucks fan.

  6. Call me crazy, and I’ll hold you to it, but I don’t think that the playoffs are going to happen this season. It’s a wrap. 
     

    Too many players have expressed reservations about it.

      Been saying that for weeks.

       

      Too big a risk right now for the player and their families.... not going to happen. 

    3. kingofsurrey

      kingofsurrey

      NHL won't run next season as TV revenue are not enough without fans in the rinks.... to pay the salaries.

      So next season is toast as well.

       

      Such a screwed up time right now..

    4. SilentSam

      SilentSam

      I think we should remain optimistic for next season,.  Perhaps a shorter version of 62-67 games as in years past.

       

      Percentages on a basis with a sliding scale will keep the game alive and give ground to the norms.

      But the time is now to plan for different scenarios and then pick the best out of the opportunity that we arrive to.

      The PA and NHL should be meeting over this and how revenues and contracts will coordinate with all options of plans.

      Pragmatism should prevail.. this is where good leaders shine,.  And others flail like a fish out of water.
      Hockey is a game of smarts.. let that flow from the ice and into open books to calculate the plays needed to keep this industry alive with everything else.

      Montreal literally plays a system based on speed and counter rush offense. Something the Canucks haven't employed since we, yenno, had fast players.

      Glad to see the effort Weise puts into his game being rewarded. The more I think about it, the more I realize Tortorella was just a crotchety little menace.

      Thanks everyone for the feedback. It's a funny one for sure. I've been with the company for a while and enjoyed what I did initially, but now it just feels too automatic, too much like I'm on autopilot. 

       

      The company has a huge amount of perks that make the work/life balance easy, but it's just the day to day monotony of it all that is mindnumbing. 

       

      Clearly I need to grab some bud and my guitar and contemplate this while playing the Ghost of Tom Joad.

      does your  company provide time off or money for further education Phil? I know a few people who have taken online degrees or from places like Royal Roads in Vic and it gives you something else to focus on through the drudgery. 

    4. PhillipBlunt

      The only bursaries they offer are for courses related to what the products they offer, and I have no interest in going down that road. I'm realizing that I'm going to need to switch things up in the future, probably a year or two down the road.

       

      Carve a new path. I've ignored it for a while, but it keeps on gnawing at me to get going.

      Go to Vancouver Discount Foam in Vancouver at 6935 Fraser St.  Get a medium or firm mattress.  Did wonders for my back.  Cheap price.  500 bucks gets you a solid queen size foam mattress.  Lasts for 10 years.

    3. Shift-4

      just get a memory foam topper

      good luck getting out of bed

  16. Hearing that Shea Weber might be traded out of Montreal......

     

    Tanev, Baertschi, and Hutton for Weber and Gallagher

    Sign Kane in the offseason

    Gallagher - Sutter - Eriksson

    Virtanen - Dowd - Granlund

    Gadjovich - Gaunce - Goldobin

     

    Edler - Weber

      @ shiznak

      Your grammar stunk. And you made a pathetic sexist comment about someone sounding like a woman. Is that the best you can do to compartmentalize someone by their gender? Must be a hit with the ladies

    3. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      @BanTSN.

      You truly have no clue. Luongo deserved cheers during the tribute. The fans failure to support their team by instead of supporting their former goalie throughout the entire game. How do you think that works on a team psychologically in their own barn? Yes they didn't show up but neither did the fans. Take it like a man? From a whiny poster who constantly bitches about a television station, that's rich.

      Maybe we sign him and see if he can turn his career around. Still very young and has lots of untapped potential. But if he doesn't prove himself next season.. then off he goes to the FA next year. Sign him for 1 year. But that means we have to unload one of our dmans to give him space. And he wouldn't be placed on the 3rd pairing... :L

      since you left yourself wide open

      a poll is in order

      so who thinks phil

      has become wiser (by less then 1 year by his own admission) according to the following scale of choices:

       

      a)  his wisdom has improved by 9 months

      b)  his wisdom has improved by 6 months

      c)  his wisdom has improved by 3 months

      d) hell no, text book case of stunning regression

       

      i'm leaning towards d) phil

      and i mean that as a compliment

      :bigblush:
