  1. Random question:

    Gas or Electric snowblower?

    I'm getting one soon, but which one?  4-5 car driveway size. Live in the interior of BC.

      Depends how much snow you need to blow. The electric ones are typically pretty small.

  2. Are we the dumbest fan base? Alf just took an online Intelligence test and scored the equivalent of a turnip. I see carrots, lettuce, and broccoli among us.

  3. I like how US Congress basically confirmed UFO’s and (non human biologicals) aliens are real and everyone’s just like meh.

      The incredible ease with which we find planets in the golden zone, the massive numbers of stars and galaxies out there and the fact that complex organic materials literally fall from the sky makes the idea that there is life out there almost a statistical certainty.  The biggest issue here is distances. They are just so incomprehensibly large that the bigger question is can we find or communicate with intelligent life outside our solar system. 
      Some of those whistleblowers sound like cranks though and non-human biologicals is so vague he could just mean cow shit.

  4. I think next offseason if realistically when the Canucks can start going for a Stanley Cup, contracts coming off the books and another year for the young core to get seasoned, bring in a little support and make 1 or 2 big playoff runs and just get the job done, give yourself atleast 2 cup final appearances with this core

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Too bad management and ownership has been going all in for the cup every year since 2011.

  5. i'm more excited in what this team will look like in 3 years, than i am right now. the rebuild we've been wanting.

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Oh they are just stop gap measures, just short term ones.

      Like that they aren't crippling us with LT deals but still think overall we squandered opportunities to be better.

      This is definitely a transition period over the next couple years waiting for some of Benning's bad contract to expire.  

      In 2 years when the OEL penalty balloons we should be clear of Myers and Brock and have a bunch of young talent getting ready to break into the league.  Raty and Klimovich have been paired together in Abby and probably need another couple seasons before contemplate full time NHL, Willander and EP2 should be coming to NA about the same time as well we may see JL coming into replace Brock on wing.

      Lots of young cost controlled options coming in if they develop.

  6. Calgary can Kickstart a great rebuild if they go full sell.

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Not sure that is possible this off-season with the flat cap. May be able to move a piece or two but deadline best spot to move more of them out. More teams can take players and prices are the highest.

  7. Justt realized the Ducks have 27 picks over the next 3 drafts and a shot at Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson mostly in the top 3 rounds.

     

    Then realized the Coyotes have 37 picks over the next 3 drafts mostly in the first 3 rounds and a quality shot at the big 3 this year too.

     

    Then saw we only have 21 picks over the next 3 drafts and they're mostly in the middle rounds.

     

    Sigh

    1. DrJockitch

      Retool!?
      We are rebuilding/tooling in a unique way.  Eschew pics and take players who are looking for big money soon to take advantage of all our cap space.

      The report itself doesn’t really get what is going on. 
      Without more information it is hard to say exactly what is going on but the likely explanation given the number of surgeries and the PICC line is that he has had post op infection.  Assuming they had to put some plates or other hardware in the hand initially, it is very hard to treat an infection around an implant. The PICC line would be there just for long term IV antibiotics. 
      One of the things to remember is superbugs like MRSA go around gyms and athletic facility like wildfire. These are often hard to treat and frequently will require long courses of IV antibiotics. If he got post operative infection a number of surgeries may very reasonably be done to remove hardware, drain infection, provide other types of support to healing structures such as external fixation. 
      While the external interpretation of this may be like Quinn said, a botched surgery, that is less likely to be the case. Complications sometimes happen unfortunately and a hockey glove is a nasty place to stick a wound. 
      Good luck to Pearson. Thought he was one of Benning’s better pickups, especially for what he cost and was under-rated on this board.

  8. Man, I know his contract is only for two more years but I every bone in my body is telling me I need a Kuzmenko skate jersey. I seriously love everything about his game.

      $800 Holy crap. Guess they are the OEL buyout fund.

      He was great pickup. Buy it. Do it.

      ‘That is my favourite Canucks jersey so far. The Thunderbird is better than the skate or whale.

  10. I understand the tankists, but when it comes down to it, isnt lady luck more important for a top 3 pick  if you finish outside of the top three? (even then you still need massive lady luck in the top three)

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Demko is back to Demko and pressure is off. We will be rising fast with the teams ahead of us in the standings having decided that the TDL is a place to sell assets for a premium, drop in the standings and retool in the off-season when the options are less limited.  
      It is about maximizing chance of success in the lottery and overall by selling at times when prices are high and buying when they are low.  Or it should be, our plan is about messaging to season ticket holders and short term playoff revenue.

  11. What the ever loving hell will TSN and sportsnet talk about on friday? lol.

    10 straight hours of coverage talking about Chycrun and fabricating more trade proposals than the armchair fans of HF Boards?

  12. Would anyone be down for a JT Miller - Dubois swap? Similar to the Huberdeau - Tkachuk swap.

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      In a second. Would flip him for pieces at deadline since won’t commit to re-sign but to get out of that contract, well worth it.

    Career 915.  Right now 850.

    is he still injured from last year?

      Hasek couldn’t of saved the start of this season behind that kind of team D.

  15. Went out to watch the Clippers play against the Grizzlies. It seems all those Canuck games were preparing me for the result tonight, 4-2 loss after a multi-goal lead.

      Boy I hope that wasn’t a basketball game.

  17. As of right now, my Canadian team rankings, these will most likely change a bit come puck drop in October. 1.Toronto 2.Edmonton 3.Vancouver 4.Calgary 5.Ottawa 6.Winnipeg 7.Montreal

      DrJockitch

      It really is. Who knows what Vegas will do, SJS starting a tank, Anaheim still in sell mode, LA climbing, Calgary who knows, they lost Johnny and are alienating Mangiapan.  Edmonton is probably better but who is playing D?

      He is fifth on the depth chart for NHL/AHL goalies with a few more recent draftees that Clark hand picked in the pipeline.

      Good job, keep it going.  It is hard work but worth it.

      $300 a month. Save that up for a year and you can almost go to a Canucks game.

  20. Listening to Jim Rutherford on Dhali and Donnie really gives you some perspective on the teams direction

      It was a good interview and as frustrating as it is he is generally correct. 
      I love when he pushed back on commenting on peoples dissatisfaction with rumours. Not his job to comment on rumours. 
      I love that they are not willing to just throw more assets at correcting mistakes. It means a frustrating period of waiting unfortunately. 
      I praise Sakic a lot and he was very patient and waited for the right deals to come along so I will try to be patient.  If only we could ever have any of his damn luck.

  21. Anybody else would do a JT Miller - Aaron Ekblad swap? Florida have lots of good d-man, Florida need a Miller type in their top 6. Feel like it would address both team needs.

    1. DrJockitch

      DrJockitch

      Ekblad is a nasty piece of work. He is famous for hacking and slashing ankles all game long. 
      Kind of like a Chelios, he takes so many cheap shots the refs can’t call everything so he gets away with it. He doesn’t quite have the propensity for nasty cheap shots after the whistle like a Chelios did. 
      One year of JT for Ekblad is a no brainer in my mind.  Ekblad is something we don’t have, need badly and would shift the identity of this team in a much meaner direction.
