  1. 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.

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

  2. i believe that canucks and blackhawks will exchange picks 11 and 19. will the canucks use those picks or trade them along with some bloated contracts to begin the retool?

    i would like to see at least 2 big contracts gone. these moves will hurt in the short term.

      To BEGIN the retool? Nothing could be bleaker than rebuilding a failed rebuild. But let's keep giving average players 5-6 million a year.

  3. You know when you wake up in the morning and make coffee and forget to put the coffee part in the coffee maker, but remember the water, and then you look at it in confusion... That happened to me this morning, and then I realized that I didn't add the coffee part! But then I did, and all was great!

      @chon derry You know, I wasn't being serious. I'm sure you're youthful and fantastic, etc.

      Did you just learn that term? You're older than my parents.

  6. Is Moosehead one of the few breweries that make beer in bottles? I miss bottles.

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      Are you asking this question with Canada specifically in mind? A lot of breweries switched to cans to lower production costs, but many still bottle their beer in the States, at least.

  7. Petition to change Pettersson's nickname to Sweety Petey.

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      Mani Pedi due to the pronunciation of his last name.

  9. Roussel and Beagle should be real good additions. Not the cheapest, but they're not getting paid just for skill.

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      lol cos Beagle and Roussel will be traded for top-dollar.

  10. Schneids/Bo Horvat..bandits! That's how we made out.

     

    Keep seeing threads(HF trade section) where NJ fans wanna deal Cory. 4 more yrs of 6 mill(already 32, getting injuries frequently)

     

    One thread they & StLoo fans are debating a Jake Allen/Cory deal.

     

    Can't believe some sneezed at our GT scenario. We're looking sooo good here.

      I always liked Cory. Too bad it hasn't worked out for him these past two seasons. Wish him well. Come back to Vancouver haha.

      I knew Common People would be the video. Very enjoyable. Tho it was all Ben Folds. I don't think Shatner does anything but spoken word vocals. Good album, still.

  12. Dougie Hamilton and P.K. Subban both have as many goals as the entire Vancouver D combined.

      Haven't had a double-digit goal scoring defensemen since Weber. How pathetic.

  13. I see the Grizzlies haven't changed much since moving to Memphis.  Last place and lost 18 in a row.  Good Riddance?  Grizzlies were 3-2 all time when I was in attendance, they should've paid me to show up.

      Seven straight playoff appearances prior to this season. It happens.

  14. Del Zotto is #3 in hits for all D in the NHL this year. Edler is #23 oa I'm not sure which stat surprises me more.

      Figured Edler would've shattered into a million pieces of sugar glass by now.

  15. Which young trio would you rather have

     

    Matthews, Marner, Nylander

    or

    Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson (assuming EP becomes a 80 player)

    Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson (assuming EP becomes a 80 player)

  17. I think Boeser still has a shot at the Calder. Sure, he's 12 points behind Barzal, but if he can catch up a bit, I think his goalscoring will keep him in the race. He's played 4 less games, and most of Barzal's points are secondary assists.

     

    I also think it's worth noting how good Charlie McAvoy has been for the Bruins. I would not be surprised in the least if he wins the Calder, but unfortunately, defensive ability is often overlooked when deciding the Calder.

  18. Here's how I see it: We paid nothing for Vanek and Holm ergo Benning got us Leipsic and Motte for free. That's a win in my books :canucks:

      "Excellent drafting pedigree"

      "Can find gems in later rounds that other GMs cannot"

       

      One player (Boeser) has amounted to something in his draft classes. Tryamkin is never coming back, Virtanen is a 4th winger at best, William Lockwood is Jordon Schroder v2.0, and your optimism for the future of the prospects is a touch on the hyperbolic side.

  20. Should we re-sign Vanek??

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      At the rate he is going, I'm beginning to buy in on the for a 1st hype. Trade, trade, trade.

  21. The Canucks have lost five of their last six games and surrendered 26 goals for an average of 5.2 per game. 

  22. fracture ruled out for Brock! according to 650 just now, great news

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      Thank goodness. The last thing anyone wants to see is a Vancouver offense without Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat.

  23. If we were to make a trade to reacquire Hansen, would we still be retaining cap?

  24. Someone brought up a funny fact, Dan Cloutier let in that famous longshot goal years ago, now he is the goalie coach for the Canucks and Nilsson lets in a very similar one

      I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Scott Darling's half rink goof from the other day. But Darling is a babe in the woods and I want him to succeed.
