  1. isn't that kind of like saying that people don't deserve Polio vaccines because others are out there living in iron lungs?
  2. Did somebody say playoffs? Canucks remain undefeated in games when they’re outshot at home.
  3. How do good of a friend would you have to be to sabotage a multimillion dollar sports franchise and ruin your own reputation in the process? Benning’s ass better be there with bells on any time Chiarelli needs help moving.
  4. Unless I'm mistaken, the writers were polled before the Canucks were in 1st. So no, it's not just standings based.
  5. Oh, it was a crock to be sure. Especially considering this was, I believe, right in the middle of Chiarelli doing whatever the &^@# you call what he did in Edmonton.
  6. For sure but they do the mid-season writers association poll for all the trophies around this time. You can't put too much stock in some categories (though others are pretty apparent at this point) but it is fun to get a gauge of how people are feeling so far. The fact that Benning is viewed as 4th place is quite a development though considering it was only a couple of years ago he was ranked 31st.
  7. Oh yeah, another interesting tidbit from the article @Darius mentioned, the Coyotes actually had Hughes and Hayton in town at the same time for on ice tests and interviews; yet they still went with the reach pick for Hayton.
  8. The fact that Detroit valued Dobson and Bouchard over Hughes is a bit mind-boggling. Was TheGuardian a scout in Detroit?
  9. No, no. We had that debate on Canucks Twitter when someone called the team mediocre already. You have to be average to be mediocre.
  10. Dhaliwal doesn't think he's going anywhere.
  11. @Rob_Zepp It's a bit hard to predict with the expansion draft being over a year away, but who do you see the Canucks potentially losing to Seattle?
  12. So, according to an article on The Athletic, we have Ken Holland to thank for this. Apparently he was a big fan of the Traverse City prospect tournament and when he took over in Edmonton, he reached out to Benning, Treliving and Cheveldayoff about getting the prospects tournament going again properly. Cheers to Holland for this one!
  13. Oh, they'll be fine. It just would have been fun to see Hughes skate circles around their prospects.
  14. I'm glad to hear it's back but of course they do it now that most of the Canucks' blue chip prospects are with the big club.
  15. Considering Meghan Markle was raised in Inglewood during the Boyz n the Hood era, yes, you’re probably right.
  16. With as tight as things are in the west, if there was ever a year for a team to make a surprisingly deep run into the playoffs, it’s this one.
  17. Hey y'all: it's January 18th and the Canucks are leading the division.
  18. I hope they enjoyed 2013 to the beginning 2019 because they're getting it from the Canucks for the next decade.
