  1. Been watching the women’s world games today.  Such good hockey!   Lots of smiles of true joy can be seen through their face shields.  These women all love to play, and it really shines through.  The Swiss celebration after beating Russia in OT was beyond amazing to watch.  Yes, Canada and the US are by far the two best teams, but the games they aren’t playing in are exciting too.  Maybe even more so.  

    I could definitely park my scooter in the rink and watch this women’s games all day long.

      Always enjoyable to see Russia lose.

      Women's hockey is getting better and better;  This Canadian team is just pure beast mode;  

       

      Poulin has left a legend and the youngsters are so damn good

  2. I’m so glad Benning was able to dump garbage this off season.

    Schmidt, and Loui save us 12 million on the cap!

      he was also able to move some players that didn't fit the teams plans anymore.

      Wasn't really "pointless" to get Schmidt.  The Canucks' right side D was essentially just Myers at that point if I recall correctly (Benning was focused on OEL, so Tanev and Stecher both walked).  Schmidt looked like he could've been a good RD replacement (even though sadly he didn't fit).

      We basically got a free trial of Schmidt for a year. 

  3. Anyone know what gift is supposed be for anniversary 47?

  5. Our girls are so good!  Just watched us beat Finland.  We are fast, skilled, and determined.  That was fun hockey to watch.

      this is actually probably concerning for leafs fans. Wonder how his release will be affected. Can't stand that kid but man he is one hell of a player. 

  7. Benning has to be the front runner for GM of the year!  He’s having an amazing off season!  Way to go Jimmy!!!  :towel:

    I haven’t been this excited since I scootered by the big sign advertising those blue pills!

      Kitimat is hot yet somehow also cold and wet.

       

      During working hours I logon and check VC's notifications for news, but in reality I don't have time to really look into the trades/signings/rumours.

       

      When I get off work I spend alot of time walking around the camp grounds as it's very large, and especially as I am a smoker. when I finally get back to my room I don't have much energy to argue with @aGENT or @Me_ even though I'm sure there must be something I disagree with what they post about.

       

      all I have energy is for some mind numbing tv shows on netflix (right now I'm watching The Fix, It's about 2 teams of two comedians coming up with solutions to first world problems, and yes it's as stupid as it sounds) But... comedians are dirty and raunchy so i like it.

       

      I will back to my regular mischief in 9 more days

      @Devron44 But you know Benning has a reason to lie! You know the media has less of a reason to lie because they're reporting 'what they hear', and it would be bad for their reputation if they make $&!# up!!!!

       

      Also, the people don't care about 'the truth', therefore, the media is justified to print out lies!!! #wallstreetamigo

      Imagine if the Stanley Cup was decided by a shootout.  

       

      England has a likeable team with insufferable fans, and Italy is a nice country. Guess it all worked out for the better.

  11. Joker is the best!  Guy will win 25+ Slams.  GOAT. 

    1. Patel Bure

      Patel Bure

      There are a few more things that he’ll need to do in order to truly be considered the GOAT (I.e win Olympic singles gold, most weeks at #1, and a few other minor accolades that Federer and Nadal currently hold), but yes, Djoker is certainly on pace.  I think he’ll break Margaret Court’s record of 24 slams.  If and win Djoker does, he deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, and Patel Bure.

  12. Dixon Ward, on 650, saying Tofoli has disappeared in the Final.  

     

    Thinks it might be too much for Tofoli to compete against Tampa. Says Tofu is just hanging on the outside and not contributing in any way.

      I'm happy that TT had a good season, but I had a feeling he might come down to earth and taper off a bit.  I guess we will see for the next couple of seasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if his reg season/playoffs stats are a bit more modest.

    I would think his teammates already knew, and don’t care.  They just want the best players so they can win.

  15. Looking like no US Open for a Canuck.  Hughes is having a bad round. 

  16. Another slam for Joker

     

    Djokovic wins his 19th grand slam, and is now only one behind Federer and Nadal (each have 20)

    sure looking like Joker will catch the other two soon, and become the greatest tennis player ever.  

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Heard he's Navratilova's secret love-child?!

       

      Better research that one, Alfer!

    2. Patel Bure

      Patel Bure

      Djoker will likely catch Federer and Nadal for most slams, but there are other records that Federer also holds that makes him the current GOAT (overall prize money won, total number of weeks spent at number one, etc.).   Djoker will need to break those records as well if he wants to be known as king.

       

      And unlike Djoker and Federer, Nadal has won an Olympic gold medal in singles.

  17. Big lumbering guys like Seider and Power look way better in our smaller rinks than these big 

    Euro ice sheets.  

  18. Bobby Lou was a HHOF goalie, but his team Canada 2021 is horrid.

      I’m not surprised. NHL players shy away from going to this tournament even at the best of times, in favour of resting their bodies after the gruelling NHL schedule. Add in the pandemic and saying “yes” to this tournament is even less appealing for the players. When you can’t draw enough 1st or 2nd tier players, this is what you get. Hard to hang that on Lou.

      If you are the best team to miss the playoffs, it is impossible to lose the draft lottery.  You either stay the same, or move up.

      Also imo Nico Hischer is the biggest bustaroo.. 

       

      Hard to believe he was first overall ahead of Elias. 

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      Hischier will make a really good number three centre.  But that’s not what Jersey was expecting with their first overall pick.  Hischier and then Jack Hughes could be (combined) the two worst first overall picks by one team in a short window of drafts (3 years) in the history of the draft.  Seriously two top picks in three years and they basically got nothing that will really help them win.  No wonder their GM got iced.

      Looks like the rule is clear.  Other teams’ fans can come here and rile up real Canuck’s fans, and the Canuck fan (defending his team) could get banned.  This seems very unfair.  

    4. Templeton Peck

      Templeton Peck

      We don't discriminate against fans of others teams, but the rule is clear, if they are just here to antagonize Canucks fans they won't be here long.

       

      On the other hand just because someone is a fan of something else it doesn't give anyone the right to antagonize them either. Some people here are fans of multiple teams including the Canucks. Heck one guy here is even a fan of the TV show ALF apparently.
