I think you forgot to finish your thought, you left out: "film star" at the end. 

good luck lad...if you fail, we'll be waiting for you on here...

I used to have the Ice Pack for a few seasons and would either fly or take the bus up to Vancouver for games.  Then one night at a game while drinking, I was thinking - I can do this at home (drink and watch the game).  Then the Canucks had a 29th place finish and the ticket prices were still the same so I did not renew, but I did go to day games so I could make it a day trip instead of overnight.

First time in 27 years I did not follow this season closely. Something big needs to change. This is not good enough anymore.

I'm totally checked out. For the last 10 years not a day went by that I wasn't active on CDC and posting in Canucks talk and/or other threads.

The holes in our system, structure and build became painfully obvious in the bubble last year and I even said said back then we were incredibly lucky to beat Minny, and St Louis literally fell apart.

Now I did have a bit of hope at the start of the season, but not a lot, but the on ice product at seasons start crushed my spirit and I slowly just faded into the background, unable to make sarcastic comments, no longer willing to engage anyone, devoid of all optimism and forced to face to grim reality that I've been wasting countless hours investing effort, thought and care into an organization that lacked acumen at the top and a willingness to make the hard choices which could actually put the team in a good position moving forward.

I have no confidence in our coaching staff or management, absolutely none. It astounds me Green has any sort of cred as a development coach because I can't point to single player and say "yeah, Green made a difference and really helped this guy improve more than he would have under any other coach".

His fall back excuse is "trying to make them 200ft players", guess what? None of our young players are any better than before. He promoted a system designed for useless plugs, and Baumer runs a d system designed for cowards.

I could not be more disappointed with the state of the club. Jim Benning has &^@#ed up royally and his head should roll with the rejects behind the bench. It's obvious now he isn't able to manage the full operations of a club. His pro scouting has been bad, cap management has been awful, and his only saving grace is the fact he's made decent drafting decisions for the most part, but even the great picks are unfortunately stalled in their development and stand in the shadow of a couple of really bad picks in hindsight.

Now I'm sorry to write so much, but I'm pissed off and haven't properly vented on CDC yet. I hope Aquaman recognizes the Canucks brand is suffering hard, and the only way he'll be able to recoup the inevitable heavy losses is if Benning and his staff are terminated before the draft and a respected, experienced GM is hired at seasons end.

I do not wish JB, Green, Brown or Baumer the best of luck in the future. I hope they get hired in Calgary.

I wish our young core the best of luck with a new GM and system, and I wish my fellow fans the best of luck in coping with the catastrophe that has been the JB era.

I'm gonna raise a glass to future. Cheers!

But if JB or any of the coaches are around next season,  I will not watch a game, and I will not spend on any merchandise or tickets for 2 years, because I'm spiteful like that.

If you guys thought I was saying the Canucks should acquire him, sorry about that 

You could have phrased it as. Duchene worth a 1st rounder. Just not the Canucks 1st rounder? 

i think you meant he is worth a canucks first rounder in 2025

(isn't that the cup year for this team ??)

thats right @debluvscanucks the nux will have to give up enough as it stands, our fan base might be divided on the orca logo but i'm willing to bet there's more pro orca fans than real seattle fans combined

they seem to be partial to lime green ,they can go with that ,they are the enemy , I hate em aleady  

Me too.  No more Mr. Nice Guys.  I won't give a rival anything but directions to the bus station.

?

I never charge you

Buy a crock pot and make a ton of chili/stew, etc. Then freeze it in ziploc bags and bring to work/school/whatever you do. 

IMO the only way to break free from going out for lunch every day is to cook in bulk. If you try to make a lunch each morning you'll quit after a week.

Jazz my man whatta you doin. Fuel that fire with good eats. Shopping once a week will save you mountains of cash. Simple recipes will go along way too : D

I like him on a 1 year deal. He has shown in the past that teams are willing to trade an early round pick for him at the deadline each year when they run out of their primary options.

Maybe the Canucks can try again with trading pending UFAs at the deadline like the Leafs do to accumulate some picks finally.

Four teams in three years yeah im good NEXT!!!!!!!!

i would take him. he is good.

you should do some tracing on demko's geneology...he might be cousins....send him a message, through his team and ask him if he knows his lineage back...that is one of my hobbies.....

I'll bet nothing got by her. 

good one.

Joined. Doubt I'll win though. My picks were mostly gut reaction, and more influenced by the most recent head to head.

In, not sure if I did it right. W/E lol

Entered as JohnScott Nux. Completely disregarded stats and just did what felt right. We'll see what happens..

Neither make it.

is that what willie said?

The more youth on this team the better.

I went with the vest. Thanks tho, I'll consider being the Velveteen Rabbit next time I go to a special event.

wear a red velvet cake

Wear a strap on, be the attention whore if nothing else.

man havent had a mcgangbang in years

TS is sooo lying

Armada,

I'm with you on this one, but gosh darn it, I love me some Scan BC!

@Armada would have been helpful last year haha thanks tho

You already bought books for september? Keener. I almost never buy textbooks anymore. :D

^First classes are on the 31st lol. I've been able to get them all for $10 or $15 so its not terrible :D

I agree it looks good if that's the one you're talking about

yeah! can't wait!

Haven't seen a lick of Capaldi's doctor. Is he as dark as the teasers make him out to be? Opposite of Smith and Tennant?

So what? They won a cup.

Garrioch is almost as bad as Kuzma

They could have won the cup without Vermette. Winning a cup doesn't mean it's okay to forget about the future...

Cross-league transaction. Also probably not worth the effort.

lol this status made me think a trade happened

My God... What is wrong with the Pens organization? They have gone COMPLETELY downhill since 2009, and it keeps getting worse.

Middle 6. Started to pick up his game with WPG and exploded in NJ. 1-2 year contract kinda guy.

Who is bpa

^^ Best player available 

Tampa and Chicago for the entertainment value.

Anyone But Chicago

I think you mean the opposite ghosts, that's the least entertaining outcome...

made by children for children  ;P

Twitter doesn't make people children, it just reveals who the childish people out there are.

Skille with the Sedins, watch for it. Anything but split up the Sedin's. 

I bet he cried so hard

He had to trim his moustache

i think chaput has earned first line duties

That’s totally AWESOME possum.  How long does it take to become a Notary there?  

I have 31 days to pay the appointment fee and then AFAIK that’s it!

You’re in!  Winner winner should celebrate with a CHICKEN DINNER!  (and not Swanson’s:)

^lol first thing I thought of was videogame ratings when he said 99

Pfft. Connor McDavid is better.

^Mackenzie Blackwood though?

captain hindsight checking in

Benning publicly said he intends to bring back Weber provided he has reasonable contract demands. So where does Corrado and Clendenning fit with stubborn mule Bieksa not wanting to move?

Clendenning has to be up next season, I'm pretty sure. Frankie's fine in the minors for another year, but I'm pretty sure a defenseman has to be moved.

Ditto bro. The farm was stupid hot today.

@Jaku was thinking of how farmers and farm workers would take it. Feels like it's gonna be a dummy hot summer, so hope there's ways to keep cool

It's gross. I won't lie. I spent all afternoon in the heat. I legit drenched my hat in cold water on multiple occasions.

Why would Callahan agree to waive his NMC to go to an AHL team?

Why on earth would Edmonton do this. Puljujarvi is a 6'4, 225 lb recent 4th overall pick. He is 21 not 25. 

Two seasons ago Virtanen scored 19 points in 65 AHL games. Would you have wanted to drop him back then for  Callahan?

You know what, I forgot about the NMC

As for Virtanen for Callahan, no - we're taking the long road to rebuild. And, we don't need a competent winger like the Oilers do. Now I get that Callahan might be setting the bar a little too low, but he's still a (albeit past his prime) skilled forward with captaincy and playoff experience. 

I keep on confusing him with Bobby Hull.

Healey said that Gstank.
