Discussion: If you HAD to move Podkolzin....
Nucker 67 replied to J-Dizzle's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
IMO, both are generational players. I think they will be Top 10 within 2 years. And I'd rather trade Boeser than Podkolzin. Better return, and it buys a little time before Podz gets paid the big bucks. Canucks have a lot of forward depth right now. -
If the playoffs get extended to July/August/September etc., does that mean Benning can sign Tryamkin (in June) and he can play in those playoffs? I'm not very optimistic with completing the regular season and playoffs, but it sure would be nice.

I like the idea of the off season (or break in season) being now, and then having hockey start again in July until the following June. Is that possible? I read in the paper the other day about the idea of having every team make the playoffs, except DET (DET is the only team mathematically eliminated), every other team still technically has a chance, so they would be in. Maybe they would have a best of 5 for the first few rounds, until the Conference Final and SCF where it's best of 7. That would be pretty wild. Having he playoffs start with: COL vs SJ TB vs OTT EDM vs ANA VAN vs NSH etc. The top team in each conference (BOS & STL) would get the bye. Maybe in this odd season, with it ending abruptly, some teams unsure if they're in or out. Maybe this is a good formula, with every team technically having a chance at this point in the season, being given the opportunity to play for the Cup. There would be no question who the best team is at the end. I imagine the owners in all of those cities would love a long playoffs. lol

I'm thinking if there's no hockey, maybe until fall, we'll have to come up with some ideas on topics. I suspect the Coronavirus Outbreak thread will eventually reach 1,000 pages. Will they have the NHL Draft? I'm expecting they will, but if the Canucks technically made the playoffs this season, then they have no 1st this year. Or 2nd. Kind of a boring Draft for the Canucks if that happens.

I agree, had to laugh about shooting the virus, but that's concerning too. Panicked, desperate people who are armed. Scary.

Member of Canucks Office Staff tests Positive
Nucker 67 replied to VegasCanuck's topic in Canucks Talk
This could be anyone who works in an office building in Vancouver. This person has no contact with the team. -
My guess is they'll cancel the season, no playoffs or Cup awarded. I just can't see how life is supposed to resume normally in the next few months.
-
The department I work in contacted employees at home last night and told us to stay home today. Only essential services need to continue working for now. In my 32 years I've never been told to stay home. I guess they'll be updating me as this goes on. The world is shutting down. Kind of feels like the beginning of an apocalypse.

The difference between the Canucks and Stanley Cup winners
Nucker 67 replied to whcanuck's topic in Canucks Talk
Canucks were good enough to win in 2011, but the poor reffing and injuries made it difficult. It can depend on matchups leading to the SCF as well. The Canucks had a tough road that year. BOS - beating MTL, PHI, TB VAN - beating CHI, NSH, SJ I don`t think they`re too far from being a contending team again. I would prefer a better, more experienced coach. I`d also like Horvat to step up to another level and stand out as the leader. I think they should replace Baumgartner with a better D coach (Mitchell?). Maybe it`s just a matter of time, the stars on this team (Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser) are all still really young. Virtanen, Gaudette, MacEwen and Demko are also quite young. They need a little more experience and confidence. Hoping for playoffs to see what they`ve got, but next year should be a great team. -
How are you passing time during the coronavirus outbreak?
Nucker 67 replied to Brad Marchand's topic in Off-Topic General
I`ve been home isolating the last few days. Only been out in my backyard or to the park down the street with my dog. Seems pretty scarce out there. Is it just my imagination? Inside, it`s been boring AF without hockey, or any sports really (except golf). Been playing RainbowSix on my PS4, when I`m not being flooded with COVID-19 news, making me more paranoid and fearful. At least the weather has been good. -
Very scary times in Italy, filled my heart to see those on the balconies, singing and playing music. Being together, but apart.

Thanks IRR and nux, I'll stay home tomorrow, and will until the cough is completely gone. No point taking stupid risks, just to try and impress a boss who hates me anyway lol The world is changing and things have shut down. Just the way it is right now.

Has anyone taken transit (bus or Skytrain) in the last couple of days? What kinds of crowds should I be expecting next week? I have had a cough for the last several days (but no fever). Most likely a minor cold. Thinking I may stay home tomorrow, e-mail my boss, explain my cough and ask her what she wants me to do. My job security is safe, so if I need to stay home, I do. Suggestions? Should I just stay home for the next week? Or do I take my chances on the Skytrain to and from work each day? This is my dilemma. Am I expected to go on with life until I get this thing? Or should I protect myself and others by staying away from people? This is life changing, people will act differently from now on I think. Simple things like shaking hands or giving someone a hug. Things changed already with social media and people not being able to communicate as well as they used to, but now this divides people even more.

Pizza for dinner!

Gotta say, this makes me sad. It's only been a few days and I already miss hockey badly. I was supposed to go to the Canucks-Jets game tomorrow. The Canucks were on the verge of making a run with Boeser coming back. These (Canucks-Blackhawks) were the good old days though, great memories. It was a great rivalry against the Hawks. I can see the rivalries with EDM and CGY resurrecting as well. I think if playoffs were to start today and they did it by %, the Canucks would face the Oilers in Round 1. Both teams would soon hate each other. That would be a great series. Sorry, going off topic.

If the season ended today, does Hughes win the Calder?
Nucker 67 replied to smokes's topic in Canucks Talk
Didn't see a "The NHL Awards are canceled, and no winners this year" option, so I chose Yes. Where would COL be without Makar and VAN without Hughes? I think VAN would be worse off. -
Podkolzin will make the team in 2021/22. Maybe the Canucks sign Toffoli for 4 years, let's say. Out - Roussel, Eriksson, Sutter, Motte, Beagle, Leivo, an Ferland (I'm afraid his health will force retirement) My guess for 2021/22: LW - Miller, Pearson, Hoglander, Virtanen RW - Boeser, Toffoli, Podkolzin, MacEwen extra: Lind

Describe the Current Vancouver Canucks in 1 word (Discussion)
Nucker 67 replied to J.I.A.H.N's topic in Canucks Talk
Promising -
I find that, during something like this, we really get to see the character of some people. Those who don't feel well isolating, which is great. But then hearing of those that are sick and going on with life as usual. This is really irresponsible. It's also pretty disgusting to see some people hoarding everything, and then trying to sell it online, or just being selfish. "I'm saving myself, F*** you all", kind of attitude.

What will happen to the Nhl season and Playoffs(poll)
Nucker 67 replied to naslund.is.king's topic in Canucks Talk
Wouldn't that be Canucks luck? Finally making the playoffs, giving up the 1st, and then the playoffs are canceled? -
SN panel just talking about Green, and what a good coach he's become. Some funny stories about Green's poker days. Apparently he's a really good player. Maybe we're a little tough on Travis, maybe he actually is a good coach? Looking back on Willie, the coaching is better.

You could always go in sick and then force them to tell you to leave. Coughing all over the boss will help.
