  1. Watching the Leafs makes me appreciate how much our kids actually give a damn about winning. Matthews, Tavares, Nylander ... no heart. Kadri ... too much heart LOL.

      You can't coach a competitive spirit into a guy.  Can't wait to see Petey in the playoffs with how much he obviously hates to lose.

      Marner and Reilly are the only ones who cares.

       

      I feel bad for them.

      why are you not solely focused on the pitts - isles game?

      Multi-tasking is possible haha. Barzal is one of my favourite players, but I'm firmly on St. Louis and Columbus' bandwagon.

  3. It will be a successful offseason if Benning does nothing. Ride the current anchor contracts out and invest in the youth.

      I'm just hoping we don't make any huge moves, I don't think we're quite there yet.

      This is the most Canucks-y status update ever.

      @Alain Vigneault  Only way I see Stralman here is if Tampa strikes out on Karlsson, veteran Swedes tend to like planting their roots. I wouldn't mind him though on a two year deal.

      I think this team still has too many flaws to go big with a UFA investment. Ideally, we need two more bonafide top four RHD to push Stecher down, another top four LHD, and two more top flight wingers.

  4. I hope that moron who harassed Pettersson gets publicly vilified.

      This was posted on Snapchat, therefore I am assuming someone from the friends list screen recorded this story and posted it online. Unless the fool decided to make his story public.

       

      Anyways he is acting like a moron, but some people be acting like he attacked Petey.

       

      I’m more pissed at security, they should keep these drunk people away from players and there Audis, instead of standing there and watching.

  5. I'm still pissed about Forsling. He's going to be a good defenseman.

      @combover You act like you know what you're talking about.

       

      You don't.

       

      Clendenning had superb AHL numbers as a defenceman. Benning is human. Based on the stats, there was NO indication that Clendenning would've turned into a AHL plug.

       

      Turns out Benning is/was wrong. But other GMs who took on Clendenning later were hoping to see more from him. It never seemed to happen.

  9. The ice at this tournament has been embarrassing. Stamkos was right.

  10. It's actually depressing watching the Oiler's play as a neutral party. McDavid's career is going to be a modern day tragedy if he sticks it out with them.

      kind of reminds me of when Marcel Dionne was playing with the Kings.  Dionne was totally fabulous, and put up huge numbers.  The rest of the team was not so good.  Dionne might be the greatest player to never win a Cup.

      After all the luck at the lotto draft the Oilers have had (4 -first overall picks in less than 10 years,they can BITE MY BEHIND.

      Boo Hoo,for a team that sucks big time, and have had more glory days than they deserved.

  11. I havent been this riled up over a Canucks game in some time. God bless Roussel. 

  12. If you're not watching CGY - EDM, you're missing out. Playoff game vibes, holy $&!#.

      Man these two teams have such a hate for each other - I have to agree with Burke - the F(lames) dont have the boys to handle the Oilers physical play - wow

       

  13. Everyone is talking about Goldy's emergence so far but what about Eriksson? Holy cow was he a stallion last night. Doing the dirty jobs at 120% all game.

      @Ghostsof1915

       

      I'm more inclined to say both the Sedins and Eriksson need speed to compliment their game. On big ice speed isn't as much of a factor because there's so much room. On small ice however, they were easy to shut down. 

    3. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      @Brad Marchand I've been saying this since we signed him to deaf ears.  Pettersson is basically the perfect fit for him.

      All too often CDC'ers are throwin out the baby with the bath water, as well as dangling various tired cliches, 'til the cows come home. Just stop it! All of ya's...

  14. I put off Better Call Saul for so long because I thought it was a money grab of a show mooching off Breaking Bad. Started watching it last week and my god what have I been missing out on? Also, &^@# Chuck.

      @DonaldBrashear I'd suggest that Chuck only helps Jimmy within the limits that Chuck sets, and the bar isn't high. Chuck is actually quite jealous of Jimmy's good nature with people, he resents it in fact. Chuck didn't actually help Jimmy get his degree, he gave him a mailroom job and Jimmy made the most of it. 

    3. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      I am watching it on Netflix the past week. I dunno why I stopped watching to begin with after Season 1.

      All of the main characters in this show; something obviously drastic happens between Jimmy and them in the next few seasons because you don't hear a peep about them in Breaking Bad, obviously. Poor Kim, Jimmy is probably going to crush her somehow, some way..

      An interesting trivia tidbit too is that Hector, Mark Margolis, played Alberto the Shadow in Scarface; he's the one Al Pacino shoots in the head before he can explode the car with the children inside. And of course Eladio is Manny from the movie as well, but I think most people knew that already.

  15. Canucks grit/60 just tripled. 

  16. I still stand by the fact that this lottery system is good. I enjoy seeing bubble teams like the Stars/Flyers/Canes get rewarded for competing.

     

    Teams who are truly bad will have ample opportunity to turn things around if they draft properly. Just because you don't get top three doesn't mean picks 4-10 are suddenly complete ass.

    1. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      Are teams really getting rewarded for competing when they simply failed down the stretch? Over the last 20 games, Arizona was probably the best of all 15 teams that were part of the lottery, yet they were bumped out of the top 3. 

  17. Part of me hopes they don't even lace them up for the Oilers game, you couldn't have scripted a better ending. Let all the young guns get in on the action.

      It's fun to see a few posters there **** themselves over the thought of the cap space the Canucks have to play with now too B)

      I know, it's the kind of movie I'd prefer to experience in theater as opposed to at home though.

  21. All part of Jimbo's master plan to load up in the draft that we host...

  22. Taking a hiatus from hockey this year has me so conflicted. Boeser vs Barzal seems to be a race for the ages.

    1. Rubik

      Rubik

      Regardless of who's winning the Calder, finally we have a ~40goal scorer. Of course it would be pretty neat if Boeser won it, but does it really matter that much?

    2. ken kaniff

      ken kaniff

      I still think Boeser will win. He’s leading our team and we suck bad.

      Barzal is playing with a pretty damn good team and with damn good players. 

  23. Watching that Hawks game gave me PTSD.

     

    "The boys are back in town ..."

     

    inb4 Jets blow it up at the deadline and Byfuglien gets dealt to the Hawks.

      Ehhhh. I'd say the Flames have a couple studs. Johnny Hockey is a high end winger and one can argue that Dougie Hamilton is capable of being an elite d-man.
