  1. It's all good....as long as the right people get insulted.
  2. Everyone who whined about Jake at draft time had/have no idea what this kid is all about. He's a monster.
  3. Great strength play by Jake on that Dman.
  4. Sam is having his 'remember me?' game.
  5. Have to agree. The Jake Watch is a non-issue tonight.
  6. The legs feed the wolf? I gotta jot that one down.
  7. If necessary, damn right it will.
  8. There's a time and place for everything. 2008's loss is 2014's gain.
  9. He's not being qualified....no return for the Canucks whatsoever.
  10. Glad to see Schroeder not get qualified. He never showed much here, and the enthusiasm once reserved for his development has now been passed on to the likes of Horvat, Shinkaruk and Jensen. A big-time fail of a pick by Gillis.
  11. There's really nothing about signing Miller that appeals to me. Declining goalie, aging and he's an annoying beotch. I'm much happier just going with Lack and seeing how it goes. Jim, call me, we need to confer...on the double!
  12. I just assume the latter and attack. It's fun and it's what I do.
  13. He's not too smart either. Just wait until these whiners see how Virtanen fires the puck. They'll be changing their tune.
  14. Just in case you don't know, he will be all healthied-up some day. Trust me.
  15. I just checked down at the store.....your new brain hasn't come in yet, but they'll let you know the minute it does.
  16. I like the idea of bringing in a teacher, because guys like that who invest time with the players are always respected. The players go the extra yard for someone like that. Apart from that Willie's track record for winning is pretty impressive. I always enjoyed the style the the MedHat Tigers played when they came here. It's an interesting hire for sure, and makes much more sense than hiring Torts a year ago.
  17. Back in about 1985 the Canucks did a charity event of some type that was held at (I think) Diego's on Kingsway. They had a table hockey set up and the Canuck players were playing against each other and the cameras were running. There was a guy there doing commentary, a la Howie Meeker, on the table hockey and he was freaking hilarious. A brilliant Howie impersonator. He used a black felt marker and wrote all over the table hockey game breaking down plays as his telestrator. So funny. BCTV played the tape of it during the intermission of a game soon after. "Look at Curt's (Fraser) winger! Giving the puck away like that! $150,000 a year and dumb as that goalpost! And Lupul's centre picks up the puck, and hey...not a hard shot, but can put it in the mail slot."
  18. "Back it up, back it up, back it up....suuuuuperrrrr! Now look at Lidster chasing Lumley in behind the net! Jumpin' Jehosephat! He's Dave Lumley, not Wayne Gretzky! What's he going to do from there? Caman! The guy going to do the damage is Anderson coming in from the side there. But Snepsts, hey, love the guy, got a heart as big as all outdoors...but he doesn't pick up Anderson early enough, Lidster tries to tie up Lumley with one hand on his stick and HEY! one pass later and Anderson, hey, he knows how to put the biscuit in the basket. Too many dumb plays by the Canucks and that's what you get. But HEY!...tough to corral those Oilers when the shake, rattle and roll like that!"
