So we're just going to roll with a journeyman winger who has never been able to perform well enough to play more than 40 games as a second liner? Very cool.
-
I'm cool with Schenn returning because Schenn likes playing for Vancouver but I would like to see the team just roll with their prospects like Karlsson and Klimovich and see what kind of chemistry they have with them. There is no FA that is going to fix this team, so they might as well just see what is going on in-house.

I like the black on orange. I wish Vancouver would just finally make the their primary logo Johnny Canuck.

Science
Science is knowledge, magnificence pansophism!
Extreme erudition of unmatched intellect,
in all its compelling branches;
The beautiful and dynamic achievement of flight.
A kite flying with great height.
A curve ball thrown with might.
Phenomenal "Aerodynamics" allows such sights.
The amazing structure of the human body such as the heart;
Eyes that view a visual art.
Ears that tune Mozart.
Without the extraordinary systems of "Anatomy" we truly depart.
The fascinating studies of humankind.
Values help us to be kind.
Beliefs are a part of how we are designed.
The enthralling and humble "Anthropology" allowing us to be refined.
The remarkable mystery of reconstructing past societies.
Bio-facts help pieces together ancient aristocracy.
Artifacts help determine historical tendencies.
Adventurous and valuable "Archaeology" traces of our ancestries.
The wonderful feeling and marvel of observing the night sky...
Planets are the starting point in charting the galaxies, nothing to defy.
Calendars, how else would you know it's July!
The mystical stories of "Astronomy" is where our answers lie.
There is a fabulous world of the living that the human eye can not see.
Bacteria without you there would not be food on land or in sea.
Earth's microscopic decomposer and carbon releaser, nature loves thee.
Most see it as disease I see "Bacteriology" as exquisite, maybe it's just me!
What could be more delightful then knowing our genetic code?
DNA the carrier of our complex traits, an imperfect human mold.
Chemical processes in living organisms, a sight, if able to see, to behold!
Unbelievable and monumental is "Biochemistry" to mapping the human road.
I admire the ability to see every aspect of life in a living organism.
Classification of species helps define humanism.
Behavior the study of stimulus-response may help destroy racism!
I find comfort in "Biology" and in its explanation of this organism.
I could not be more grateful for the importance in plant life!
Oxygen is life, without it we be in the afterlife.
Medicine is the healer and prevents the surgical knife.
We all should be thankful to lifesaving "Botany" and its lab in the wildlife.
There are so many other branches of science: Climatology,
Entomology, Ecology, Marine Biology...
And this is just a poem, not a report, to marvel at science.
Beside this scientific mind has run out of rhymes"Extreme erudition of unmatched intellect,
in all its compelling branches"I like this. I like this a lot.

OEL is likely to get less than 3 million and can easily be replaced for 3 million or less.
Watch him go to Vegas and have a 60 point season and redeem himself and piss all of us off.

So, can someone explain what happened to this guy? I swear he was once one of the most highly regarded d-men in the league? His drop-off was so significant. I can't say that I'm thrilled with another buyout, but I also can't say that I'll be sad that he's gone. This was a terrible acquisition in every sense of the meaning.

I exercised my absolute restraint and optimistic life view about OEL when Vancouver acquired him, but he has been extremely frustrating. He doesn't offer anything anymore and the contract is a massive albatross and a reminder that GM's in the NHL often lose their minds when they offer free agents contracts.

Cam Neely trade was a big belly flop
At least with the OEL trade, they got Garland back in the deal (decent asset) and got rid of LEriksson
I honestly don't ever know what the hell to think of Garland because half of Canucks fans hate him and the other half think he is a valuable asset.

I just discovered this thread. I have been a freelance writer for about 15 years now, because, frankly, I'm not talented enough to do anything else. But here are some recent samples of crud I've written:
400 Different Canadian Wildfires
The rat at the end of an error
taping drugs for later underneath the sink basin of the motel room
the height of their powers in the age of shots and prayers
takes this chaos outside to stimulate the economy
quietly shelving projects forever unfinished
with headphones on
the rent wasn't the slumlord's child, but they did choose to raise ityou don't get to bless this mess you made then hit the road
while your conscience goes on sleeping, unbothered
by consequences calling all the way down the hallit's a wild age
it's a wry old age
it's a wilder age
burning thyme, time and sage
paid an unfair wageevaluate your practices and learn where they came from
the Canadian wildfires spread an eerie haze across most of the eastern states
alive in purgatory
cannot believe the sky is as raw pummeling orange and ruined as the west coast sees every summer
but have you seen my new chainsaw and hockey mask?return everything to the status quo
sweet disposition but expert hater
wrecked homes while cuck's wife became overprotective of her phone
whenever he was around
this is in fact everyone's first rodeowent awry
self-consciousnessly miserable cringe by design
thematic pivot to 11 o'clock, sunday morning
wiggle room to spontaneously combust is kind of like passing out in peace
or peacing the f*ck out
skin wouldn't stop sticking to the sheets
never going to stay up with you all night
who taught you to hate yourself like that?sighilist doesn't remember their first beer
gaythiest will never forget their last
surrendering cobras and nifty little sleepers looking further afield
than was physically possible
they all had two bottles of something on their mind
but life usually liked to pull the rug out from underneath
and the fires are catching up to themselves.Professor of Logic
Go smiling, all the whiling
something else has caught up with you
be it unresolved debt or flippant thought
vital organs become more inflamed
than the moth attracted to an illuminated phone screen
it mistook for a candle, lita series of inferences
looting tonight — take all you can carry
split too much fat of no real use
rendered down to soap to wash off this thirst of angerblood libel — it’s logical
or topical, dueling spit-takes of lifelong students
meant to entertain, not mislead
gathering recruits, the rhetoric breeds
.5 led breaks on the page, gets in your eyesa series of differences
bass lines become flat lines
later disbelief budded
the soil is lush and giving
he smoked the whole damn cigarette and the bus never camethis is a prison cell of learned doctors
this is the cancer ward of ghosts to come
just a passing thought, in the parking lot
might as well learn to haunt while we’re hereit’s black or it’s white
but mostly it’s just static.-

too close to call between neely and oel....
most expensive blunder? OEL
gave up the most for the least, player wise? definitely Neely.
Not to even mention his acting turn as Sea Bass in Dumb and Dumber.
-
Awww. I love Alex Mogilny. I remember thinking life couldn't get any better when the Couv acquired him. He was arguably the only player that showed up his first season for us.
Gustav Forsling for Adam Clendening is looking worse and worse with each passing season.

Selling Conroy short here, he is very well liked and respected. Smart hockey guy who has put in a decade in the office, he has also put in time as spokesman of the Flames Foundation for Life since retiring too. Conroy is also a Clarkson University graduate they generally do Engineering or Business degrees, so he is far from uneducated too.
An Engineering degree does not guarantee basic human intelligence. I know multiple people with Engineering degrees and they are borderline idiot savants with zero social skills and awareness. A degree means very little.

Probably half the school was in love with him, including her. My wife went to school with Lindros, every single girl had a crush on him. She tutored him in math, was a shy man child, and a perfect gentleman. Brought this up before as an insight into his hold up about going to Quebec City. Didn't want to be "a god" which is what the owners said he'd be if he went there. Didn't want that. People forget sometimes that these are just 17-18 year old kids, just graduating high school when they get drafted. Sure some of them are entitled brats. But a lot of them are just like Gretzky too. As in always trying to include every kid in pick-up games of any type, and modest to a fault.
I loved this story. Thank you for sharing. When I was in high school, Ryan Gosling came to my school and shot scenes for an indie film there for a couple of days. And I will never forget about how every girl was swooning and every guy was pissed off, and I was like "I know this guy from Breaker High. I like him!" lol

Scratch him off the list. Time for our young guys to get a chance -- Woo, Johansson, Juulsen, Burroughs, etc
Juulsen and Burroughs are both literally older than Bear lol
Johansson is the only one on that list I would be excited about getting a shot.

The Canucks should fold and then apply for expansion status.
I also look forward to a couple years from now when Jack Rathbone scores 70 points for like the Penguins and every Canuck fan questions why we ever traded him, when literally everyone's proposal I see on this forum includes him as a filler.

That’s cool. We can agree to disagree in that regard. I guess for me I find the idea of cheering for Tkachuk to be “gross”
I used to have a lot of discontentment towards Vegas and how the league basically gifted them a good team out of the gates, but I've softened on it. The chemistry is undeniable. I was rooting for Florida, I guess, but I'm not bitter. I strive to not be a bitter Canuck fan because it would be exhausting.
