  1. EP all day. EP has a combination of both skill and character. You don't see EP pull off his pants and turn his back side to a female security guard.
  2. Voted Kevin Bieksa, nominating Doug Lidster.
  3. John and John are really fun to listen to. John Shorthouse is one of the most underrated commentators in the league. I really like how he is very knowledgeable and it is always aware of things that happen on the ice such as who left then bench, who just got back etc. Shorty is also very good at describing the play, as back then when he still called games on the radio, I could see picture the situation in my head when Shorthouse was calling the games. Not a lot of radio guys can do that. John Garrett is just very funny and a big Canucks/goalie homer. I also enjoy him bringing up stories from his playing days and how the league is now compare to the days when he played. I also like how when they disagree with one another on a play/situation, they would argue like people normally would if they watch a game with their buddy. Listen to John and John is like listening to 2 friends watching and enjoying the game together. Murph is a perfect rink side reporter and he develops good relationships with the players e.g. Kevin Bieksa. I also enjoyed his articles on sportsnet when he publishes them. The trio make the Canucks games more fun. I actually don't like when the game is a HNIC game and we don't have the trio broadcasting.
  4. It really depends on him. If he wants to remain as the top-dog in the AHL and stay with the organization by signing a 1-way deal, he can be paid NHL salary playing in the AHL help developing the kids. The Canucks have seen enough of him to basically decide that he cannot be a NHL regular. If he wants another shot at the NHL level, he would probably sign with another team like LA, Detroit etc. where he may have a chance to crack their NHL roster. If he goes to Europe, it probably means he has given up playing in North America. Boucher is a prime example of someone who cannot adjust to the NHL pace/speed, hence he could not be that effective top 6 player at the NHL level. There is no shame on this, as the NHL is the hardest league to play in.
  5. It would be crazy for the team to trade away Boeser at the age of 23. I think Boeser will be here atleast for the remainder of his current contract. Like many others say, Boeser is still young and he had shown in the past how good he can be. I honestly believe that he has been playing with this injury ailing for weeks before he official went down. Just watched some highlights from earlier this season, Boeser was faster, stronger on pucks and more engaged in play. A player just don't all of a sudden stop doing what is making him successful, he was playing hurt before he was officially hurt. Best case scenario would be for the season to resume at some point and start at the playoffs and we have a healthy line up which mean we might be able to do some damage.
  6. Esquimalt is not a great neighborhood itself either.
  7. What pissed me off even more was when he did traded away a 1st round pick + a decent prospect (aka. Michael Grabner), and all we got was Keith Ballard. This guy could never get out of AV's doghouse and was not worth what we traded away to get him nor was he worth the contract he came with. Absolute dumb move that imo hamstrung the team to get even better.
  8. Wondering who is worst? I am actually surprised we are not the worst for that stretch of time.
  9. I wouldn't mind this Madden kid they just sign as a return
  10. Voted Burrows, nominating Doug Lidster
  11. I never want to see Chaput or Megna in a Canucks/Comets jersey ever again. Those 2 were the fore-front of the most embarrassing times recently about the Canucks. In no world should these 2 get anywhere close to top 6 minutes let alone playing on the top line with the Sedins. Even if the Canucks were to sign AHLer depth for Utica, I would not want these 2 to be part of that.
  12. I think he would’ve signed here if we kept him. Anyways good luck to him, hope he doesn’t haunt us down the road.
  13. Voting Ohlund nominating Doug Lidster
  14. It's all fun and games until the games are rigged and the Leafs win the Cup then we all would hate it
  15. I feel so sorry for you buddy, you have to deal with one of the dumbest and classless (if not the dumbest and most classless) fanbase in the league on a regular basis.
  16. Not only does Quinn have Petey but he also has JT Thriller as well. Petey basically has to do a lot of things single handedly last season.
  17. IMO, Edmundson + Myers has the potential to be one of the more underrated pairings in the league (if we are able to get Edmundson). I don't see this as a 3rd pairing, I see this and the Edler pairing as a 2A and 2B pairing with Hughes and Tanev as the clear cut #1 pairing. I still believe the system we implement is the bigger problem though.
  18. Idealy for next Season: Hughes - Tanev (resign Tanev at a reasonable caphit) Edler - Rafferty (should get his shot as a RHD) Edmundson (UFA) - Myers Fantanberg Trade: Jordie Benn Stecher not qualified and walks away as an UFA Find a way to shred the cap space of Loui Eriksson + Baertchi + 1 of Sutter/Beagle/Roussel Resign Markstrom and Toffoli as well.
  19. Goes to show how far this team has come along. If one was to tell me at the end of the 2017-18 season, that in 2 years time, we will have 4 players on this team ahead of Horvat and Boeser (who were the best players on the 2017-18 team) I would not have believed it!
  20. I am just more than glad this guy is not in the organization anymore. Brought back way too many bad, losing and stupid memories whenever I see him and Chaput.
  21. Voting Smyl, nominating Ronning.
  22. Don't have to use 2 buyouts right away, you can save one when the time is right to use it again.
  23. I disagree with Beagle. But Baer only as 1 year left, would rather use it on someone with more term.
  24. Voted Smyl, nominating Greg Adams
