Nucker 67

Young people who take the disabled seats on the Skytrain only because they want a comfy place to play with their phones. This annoyance is heightened when there is an elderly person standing there and the young person is oblivious to that. No respect. ...and drivers who don't use their turning signals.

Premiere of Suicide Squad last night. 7.5/10 The movie is really quite good, a lot of action, a few laughs, good characters, good effects, decent story, some cameos, and I couldn't get enough of Harley Quinn.

Daniel - Henrik - Eriksson Baertschi - GRANLUND - Sutter Etem - Horvat - Hansen Burrows - Gaunce - Dorsett Virtanen Rodin (just for fun)

Everyone's saying "don't rush him", but Olli truly believes he's going to make the team and be in the lineup next year. He seems very determined. If he's great at camp and turns heads, why not? Or at least let him play in Utica (against men) and get some games in as a call up. The only thing I would be concerned about is his strength and weight at this time, but maybe he's on the Virtanen diet and is turning into a beast. Really looking forward to seeing Juolevi in a Canucks unie.

Thinking with Eriksson on their line, the Sedins might be giddy with excitement, and play like they're 3-4 years younger than they are. Can't wait to watch the SEL in action, gonna be a lot of pretty goals. A few unofficial retired jerseys on the Canucks. They've had some bad luck: 11 - Maki 28 - Bourdon 37 - Rypien 38 - Demitra But I'd be okay with Eriksson wearing #11. Hopefully his family would be too.

It would make little sense to play Lucic anywhere but with McDavid. I believe that's why Lucic signed in EDM, to protect and watch over him. I agree though, that Lucic's speed may be an issue for the fast McDavid. I hope Tryamkin nails Lucic the first game against EDM. Just lays him out and sends a message.

I agree. Eriksson is going to be a very good player for us for the next 6 years. I'm sure the Sedins are stoked he's now their winger. He is 30, but he'll also play mentor to the young guys (Virtanen, another RW). Great that he can play in all situations and either wing. If he got 30 last year in BOS, he could get 35 next season playing with the SedIns. It's going to be fun to watch. Benning said he wanted to fix the D and add scoring. He did just that.

Yeah, the TSN "panel" just basically pushed the Canucks aside when assessing what teams have done. They're really big on what EDM and CGY did. I hope the "Swedish Elite Line" (Sedins/Eriksson) proves a lot of people wrong next season. TSN would probably still be in denial about the Canucks being a pretty good team.

Really happy with Eriksson signing here. He'll mesh perfectly with the Sedins. I also expect the Sedins' point totals to go up next year. Eriksson plays with a bit of grit, in that he's not afraid to go to the front of the net and the tough areas. He'll also help in shootouts and the PP. Still hoping Benning can sign Matt Martin.

It might not be as exciting to draft a D 1st overall, as opposed to adding one of the top forwards, but it needs to be done in order to assemble a proper winning team. Drafting only one of the top forwards year after year and ignoring the D and goaltending doesn't get you anywhere (EDM). As it is for EDM, they'll have to trade Eberle, Hall, RNH and/or Yak to try and acquire some decent D. So much for getting those top forward picks. I hope they never learn. I'm glad Benning is doing this the right way.

I think it was surprising to me that Juolevi was drafted at #5, but Benning probably didn't want to take a chance losing him. His list was obviously: Any of the Top 3 Dubois Juolevi It would've been really tough to crack the top 3 as a D in this year's draft. Matthews, Laine and Puljujarvi had that locked up for months. In a weaker draft year, Juolevi may have been in the Top 3. We got a great player.

It's also nice to know that PK Subban will not be going to EDM. One day they may get smart and draft a #1-2 D. Maybe not.

Oh I know, I was shocked and even upset at first, but after a few minutes it started to make sense. This was an excellent pick and one that needed to be made. The D looks great now.

And number 4 is available

CBJ really F'd things up by taking Dubois. I was sad, but then got a little excited because Puljujarvi was still available. Then EDM took him. Puljujarvi on McDavid's wing. Great. So I thought, okay, we'll still get Tkachuk. And JB takes Juolevi. Shocked, but good on JB, he has the kahunas to draft the player the Canucks need, not who the fan base wants. It was the smart pick, considering how CBJ "changed the order". Benning is building us a winner. Was an interesting groan from the BUF fans when Juolevi went at #5. Best D in the draft though, and D wins championships. Canucks D of the future? Juolevi - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Stecher Pedan Subban Larsen

Wow, the Stampeders was the first concert I ever went to, back in the 70s.

I don't even care what song this is, I could look at this all day.

The Bay City Rollers (images) always reminds me of: if Paul McCartney had several inbred children LOL (except for the blonde guy on the end who looks suspiciously Swedish).

Two of my favourite Canadian musicians: Alissa White-Gluz, vocals for Arch Enemy James LaBrie, vocals for Dream Theater Also really like Rush

No fricken way!! That's awesome. I was checking out the montage and the write up, thinking "wish we could get this guy" lol Boeser AND Stecher
