  1. I don't know who the Hughes Brothers' father is, but I have to imagine he is a very proud father. Those boys are crazy talented.

      Mom, Ellen Weinberg-Hughes, was a field lacrosse, soccer and hockey star at the University of New Hampshire and  played on the US Women's hockey team, winning silver at the 1992 Olympics and being named to the all-star team at those same Olympics. She was named to the U of NH's Hall of Fame in 2012. She is apparently the one who taught the boys to skate.

      He’s the Montreal Canadiens GM, is he not?

      No. You are thinking of Kent Hughes. Jim Hughes is Quinn's father.

  2. I think Vancouver should sign Mackenzie Blackwood. I don't know why. But I had a dream last night he became our new Cory Schneider, so I'm rolling with it.

      Does your dreams reflect the reality he is a mediocre goalie?

      Yes, but he has a cool name. And that's what really matters, right? 

  3. Every morning after a Canucks game...

      Oh yes, and a lot of pauses, like hmmm, yeah, oh, yeah.  Then,  - Yeah, Seattle's getting a hockey team?! Yeah, well, I'm totally excited about that!  

  4. Seth Jones's shot is coming along nicely. 

  5. So much for Nilsson being starter-capable.

      All true, everyone. He has still allowed 18 goals in his last 4 games. His start to the season seems like ages ago.

      That goes for everyone not named Brock Boeser. :)

      Have you heard about Jayson Megna tho? His parents threw in the Y in his first name cos they knew people would be asking that question every time he took the ice. 

  6. I got a feeling that this Brock Boeser character is a-ok

      I'd say he's at least above average

  7. Holy rollers, I haven't loved a Canucks roster this much in some time. 

  8. Sick stuff, Evander.

      Good start to his season.  Is this a case of putting in the work in a contract year?

  9. Linkin Park fans are hurting today.

      Rest in peace.

      I don't know Linkin Park's music, but I have the Stone Temple Pilots' EP with Chester, and he definitely had a great voice.

      Yeah I was never anything close to a fan. But I know a lot of people liked them, so seems like a fairly big deal.

      Being a musician he very much inspired my voice when I was becoming a teen. I didn't like their sound as much after 2004 but there is no denying Chester Bennington is one of the best rock vocalists ever. I am pretty crushed today although I had some internal anger at him for the way he lashed at his "nu metal" fans wanting older style LP to come back. I guess we are all battling our own demons no matter how we look on the outside. RIP I will always remember his influence and talent.

  10. Welcome to hell, Andres Nilsson.

      Nilsson is being talked about as one of the better FA goalies out there.  Clubs are hoping that he turned the corner last year as a late-blooming netminder.  He's worth a 1-2 year contract in order to find out.

      I like him. .923 sv% isn't easy to do in Buffalo right now. Puts some pressure on Markstrom as well, as either could be our starter.

      I do not care for Markstrom so I hope this guy blows right on by him on the depth chart. 

  11. Star player playoff ending injuries is the new thing everywhere.
