  1. You think gay characters existing is the show trying to shock you with them? That's funny, because I'm a life long Star Trek fan and I'm loving the series so far. Complaining about the show being dark has been a common complaint but a lot of people seem to forget that some of the absolute best Trek that came before was on the darker side of things. Wrath of Khan, In the Pale Moonlight, Best of Both Worlds, etc, all lauded by fans and critics alike and all containing some very heavy, dark subject matter in them. If all we need out of Star Trek is an optimistic vision of the future, we'd be talking about how awesome the 1st season of TNG was. After-all, the characters were all highly evolved morally and there was never any conflict between the crew.....but it's pretty much universally agreed on that early TNG sucked. Why? I'll just leave with a quote from Sisko: "Do you know what the trouble is? The trouble is Earth. On Earth there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. It's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the demilitarized zone all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints, just people...angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive."
  2. I'm surprised that I seem to be one of the few who caught this but after Maroon got frustrated with Dorsett in the 3rd, you could audiably hear Dorsett say to Horvat "I love it. I love it." afterwards.

      Dorsett for Lady Byng. 

  3. Oh man, if Dahlin get's assigned to Vaxjo, that's going to be a treat to watch him back with Pettersson.
  4. Daliwhal is DMing me on twitter. Go figure.

      can you ask him why Steve Darling was really fired? but please... no pics...

      Kinda suspect. As they say it goes down in the dm.

      What (or who) is DMing?

       

  5. After two games, Kole Lind has more than double the amount of points than the Vancouver Giants have goals.

      Matthew Phillips scored 6pts (3g - 3a) against the Giants in those games.  It's too bad he's a Flames prospect.

      Nice, hopefully he becomes a 100 point guy for us soon. That'd be nice. 

      Seems like we always missed out on Rocket guys... glad we got one that seems to be good.

      Nice. Keep it up!

  6. Kind of feels like the NHL is trolling the Canucks by highlighting a Megna goal on their Facebook page.

      Maybe they feel bad for screwing us over and they're trying to boost his trade value?

       

      Probably not

  7. I wonder how many people are actually going to show up to Shanghai/Beijing games? My gut says not many. 

    1. Cramarossa

      I just assumed it would be full of wealthier bigwigs and business people trying to see and be seen, kinda like the games in Van :lol: And maybe tourists. Don't imagine it'll sell out but don't think it'll be empty either. 

    2. goalie13

      I bet both games sell out.  There are over 20 million people in both cities.  I'm sure there will be enough people in each city that would like to check out the NHL for these one-time games.

    3. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      There are probably like 20,000 Canadians in Shanghai teaching ESL, so I'm pretty sure it will be sold out.

  8. Who do you think will be CDC's whipping boy this year?

      Is Holm even at camp? I haven't heard his name mentioned since he was initially acquired.

      Edler and Eriksson 

       

      Dusted off my whip just yesterday actually.

      Burrows, do we even need him?

  9. Probably between 30 to 50K. I think I remember reading that the team has a total salary budget of about 5 million USD.
  10. Bo's signed and there's hockey tonight? Bring it on!

      and b.c. lions too.  it's a good thing i have 2 eyeballs.

  11. He beats that one defender back but then the D doesn't even try and stay on him, lol. He just peels off and goes for the guy with the puck.
  12. Wow. I thought the people who were saying he might have gone 1st overall if he were 20 lbs heavier were just blowing smoke up our asses but he's looking like the real deal; small sample size notwithstanding.
  13. So if Bo signs today/tomorrow is that pretty much the start of the season for us fans? After that it's Young Stars, pre-season and then actual hockey is back. 

    1. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      Yes. The party don't start 'til Bo walks in.

  14. Lower bowl tickets to the Canucks/Kings preseason game on the 16th  for $15? Don't mind if I do.

      Ahhh, too bad. Sounded like something too good to be true coming out of Vancouver, price-wise

    4. RRypien37

      RRypien37

      @stetch in time...expect to see those kind of prices here too lol

  15. Yeah, the article is right: neither of those assists were anything special but if nothing else, at least Pettersson is making the plays he should be making.
  16. Anyone have video of either of Pettersson's assists?
  17. I'm fairly certain the team gives that to him. Something tells me he didn't show up with the jersey and the team just rolled with it.
  18. I had to stop watching after the first period. How has Pettersson looked since then?
