  1. Garland is on the trade block, hopefully the Canucks can get a deal done.

      They tried that with Brock and no results. I wouldn't hold my breath. 

  2. It sounds like Pettersson and Hughes could be wearing an "A", part of the leadership group. 

  3. Whoa Debrincat!

  4. VGK has gotten progressively worse each year. They started at the top (SCF) with 109 pts, then the next year 93 pts, then 86, then 82 and so far have 74 this year. They'll probably miss the playoffs for the first time, and could be a bottom feeder in a couple of years. I am a fan of this.

      The Knights treat their loyal players like commodities and expect to be able to withstand injuries when they're forced to jettison their depth to chase after the shiniest new toy. They deserve everything that they're getting right now.

      It was bound to happen with aging players while drafting late and no notable ELC players to insert

       

      p.s.

      Not a fan of there halloween gimicky helmets either

      It's shocking to know that the lack of drafted players/depth would have implications on a team's future performance. It's almost like we've seen this type of situation happen before...

  5. Canucks really need to hire Jannik Hansen in some capacity, very smart guy

      he's so right on Green's mistake on letting MacEwan go. Still pisses me off.

      Jannik, really gets it, what is he up to now? enjoying life as a Dad in Van? He sounds like a sharp guy, maybe start in Van Giants front office, prob keeps in touch with sedins

  6. Abby Canucks at Marlies on TSN2 right now, in the 2nd

      That's exactly when I found out about this game too.  Why was is not better advertised that they would be playing on TSN??

  7. If I hear "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" one more time, I'm gonna scream, maybe throw the TV out the window. .

      Mighty debatable, subjective question. One could argue the dance/disco thing would hybrid with rock & evolve into some cool tunes..like Stones, Miss You; Wild Cherry, Play That Funky Music etc...

       

      Folks mostly had fun back then, & bands weren't afraid to be different.

       

      But then it could also be it's simply the music(AM, FM) from my youth?

      The 80s gave us The Talking Heads at their peak:
       

       

       

      Paul's Boutique: 

       

      The Smiths 

       

      and &^@#ing thrash metal! 

       

       

       

      The 80s at its best was very very very good. Of course no decade compares to the 70s with what Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyyd brought on their own let alone all the other amazing acts. The 90s is the one decade I'd put up there...yes above the 60s.  The amount of new styles of hip hop, punk and rock in the 90s makes it maybe the decade that music most moved forward as a whole. 

       

      Just for 90s kicks...some Wu Tang ;) 

       

  8. Is anyone else surprised JR and Allvin haven't done anything yet and continue to move ahead with Benning's roster?

      Not at all...  this roster is doing well under a new coach.  

       

      We would've been a playoff team had we not started so badly under Green. JR and Allvin are making the smart decision to first learn what they have here.

      @Tom Sestito Which is still a better pace than what we had going under Green before he was fired. Which says a LOT. 

    4. Odd.

      Reality is the chances of us realistically making the playoffs is slim. 
       

      Our record is probably the only thing that’s stopping them right now. We’ve been hovering around .500 for awhile now, a middle of the pack team entering the 3rd quarter of the season. 
       

      This team can either pull another 7 game win streak out of its ass, or continue to play WLWLWL up until the deadline, in which case if the latter is the outcome, I expect us to sell. 
       

      Alvin and co at this point most likely have all the info and scouting reports from top to bottom of this organization. They’re just playing the waiting game. 
       

      We won’t see a move until closer to the deadline assuming we are still hovering .500

  9. anyone else unable to connect to SN650?

      This was terrible news to wake up to. COB was a great gateway band for a lot of people just getting into metal, and Alexi himself was a true icon of the genre. RIP Alexi \m/

  11. RIP Eddie Van Halen :(

      The best IMO, inspired so many. Hendrix and Rhoades were amazing, but Eddie was always on another level for me.

      oh no , rest in peace :(

  12. Is there a thread for CDC to comment on Canucks articles in The Province newspaper? I find I get annoyed by some (most) of the writing (Willes in particular lately) and I've got no where to vent lol

      If you don't see a thread on it, you could find the article online, post an excerpt of it and link to the full article in a new thread.

      Why not just stop reading them?

  13. I got the advent calendar from Weeds this year. It's amazing. Happy Birthday Jesus!

      Chocolates behind each door?  Loved those as a kid.

      Well, behind the doors there are different things: some days have a chocolate or candy (edibles), some have CBD pain relief capsules, and of course, there are different samples every day of God's green gift.

      I'm so slow on the uptake.  :picard:

  14. With the Sedins gone, and the Canucks having the same D and goaltending as last year, what should we expect?

      Like @ReggieBush said... we have a lot of X-Factors. If any of the blossom, we'll be in the playoff picture.

       

      Also, we have 3 dice rolls in net... one must strike as a top 10 goalie? Anders? Marky? Demko?

      More speed, at the very least.

       

      Time to forge a new identity.
