  1. Could have been something different, but I remember it being around the time they filmed that video of Jake and a couple of the Canucks going around new york. There was a shot of him eating a hotdog from a street vendor, and I think Hansen brought it up as a joke in an interview later on. I could be way off, but that's how I remember it going down give or take.
  2. I thought he just cracked a joke about hot dogs or something? I don't remember it being that big of a deal at the time.
  3. He's not just ignoring context, he's having a completely separate discussion
  4. That's what i was alluding to. To be fair though, no one has seen how Boeser plays against NHL talent.
  5. At what point do we stop saying maybe? Get Bo an elite winger or two and you've got your first line.
  6. I am concerned that he's still only getting 17 to 18 1/2 minutes of ice time per game. He's now the leading point getter and goal scorer on the team. From an article from a few weeks back: "That's what we're hoping for, it's what we've said all along," Henrik, the team's captain, told ESPN.com on Friday. "No one would be happier if someone came in and we were second-liners when this ended. That would be great, because that would mean we were a very competitive team. We're not going to give it to them. We're going to fight the best we can to be the leading guys [because] it's where we want to be and we feel like we still have it in us.'' How much more does Bo have to prove before Willie starts to hand over the reigns?
  7. It's definitely the nostalgia factor that has me interested. I use my PC mostly, but it's nice to have a system that favours same screen multiplayer, whereas the xbox/ps4 have all but entirely moved to online multiplayer only.
  8. The handheld part is intriguing, so we'll see where it goes. At the same time, I don't think it is the number one factor to its success. The main thing Nintendo needs to focus on is having a good selection of their own unique games, not ports of existing PS4/XBOX/PC games (those never do well). That is and always has been the key to their success.
  9. What? It's a tablet, smaller than most people's ipads these days. Nintendo's top selling games have always been their exclusives, all the way back to the original NES, so I'm not sure why most people's first reaction to a new system is that it doesn't match the power of xbox/ps4/PC and that it won't be able to play games like call of duty etc.. (kind of a moot point since the trailer shows someone playing Skyrim...) In any case, if you're buying a Nintendo for it's raw gaming power then you are doing it wrong.
  10. Speculation! Who said he stayed out late? What is late? How do you know what management allows and doesn't allow their players to do?
  11. 1) Reality TV (specifically the kind pretending to be real but actually just bad actors with a terrible script) 2) Social media "celebrities" that spread false information through catchy pictures or articles with shocking headlines 3) People who share posts on social media after only reading the headline or looking at the picture (see #2) 4) People who don't go when it's their turn at a four-way stop 5) People who are way too politically correct/sensitive 6) People who argue about politics by lumping groups of people into right/left, and then proceed to use name-calling as a form of insult. The list goes on...
  12. Bo actually had a pretty good rookie year with Dorsett on his line, and they actually had some pretty good chemistry together. So, I'm not sure what you were watching. Hate to sound cliche, but Dorsett has those "intangibles" that are hard to measure. Think Kevin Bieksa.
  13. When did Daniel and others come forward and say they had concerns about Jake? Or is this just rumour?
  14. Way to go JB.  You broke the forum.

      It's embarrassing.  Same vocal group who constantly calls into 1040 with their "expert" opinions.  It's not hard to see why Vancouver fans have the reputation we do.  Things don't go our way and we riot, call for firing of coaches, management, ownership (I know... but some people don't quite get it) and repeat.

      You mean firing everybody 3 times per year doesn't improve results?

  15. Lol. Besides Hutton, he's one of the few players who looks like they wouldn't be anywhere else when he's in the game. Nice troll tho
  16. To be fair that play happened really fast, and I think Bo jumped up a lot quicker that he was expecting (I don't think anyone expected Bo to drive the net as well as he has been this year). None of that matters now, cause he found the back of the net.
  17. Let's start calling it what it is then. Telepathy. Just ask the Sedins
  18. Virt played an awesome game yesterday. 7 hits (BIG hits) registered on the official stat sheet, one assist, and a breakaway that could have very well been a goal. Not to mention he was rewarded with more playing time. Willie IS the right coach for these young guys.
  19. Well done! First time I've ever heard anyone reference Arizona as a model for success!
  20. No, no he didn't. Jake was playing in the WHL when he was 2 yrs younger than Ferland, and produced at a very similar pace to Ferland when he was a year younger. No one cares about what these players do in their 18 and 19 yr old seasons in junior. If you want an example go look at Dane Fox.
  21. I'd like to see Virt play too, but there's still lots he can learn just from being around and practising with the team. I'm much more comfortable with his development being managed 100% by the Canucks than a team owned by the Calgary Flames.
  22. My money is on Gaunce being the first forward called up this year when the injuries hit
  23. It's just not that clear to some
  24. I notice the Nylander supporters are silent now. 4gp, 2pts, -1. Virtanen sporting a strong 5gp, 4pts, +/- even, and more hits than Nylander will see in his entire career. Also Jake with more shots and a higher shooting %. I know you can't conclude who's a better pick on a few preseason games, but Jake was getting flamed when Nylander got off to an early start over him
