      The Canucks HF boards officially respond:

      HF Boards is a weird place. They should rename it HF Picks. 

  2. Love the logo idea in your display pic. Now that would be a cool crest. Reminds me of the Whalers logo, which I always liked.

      Thanks. I like it too, but the anti "whale" fans hate it. lol.

      Orca Whales are Pacific Northwest / West Coast through and through. 

  3. These playoffs haven’t been quite as engaging (on CDC) as other years despite ratings. The proposal threads are pouring in. Offseason on CDC is in full swing. It’s going to be a loooong summer.

      I’m really hoping Boston doesn’t make it through to the finals. I still hate that team with a passion.

      i stopped watching after the 1st round

      1st round was excellent

      but all the deserving teams are gone

       

      if 1 underdog team got through .. fine. that is exciting

      but they basically all got through except boston

       

      based on the season it should be a boston blues/sharks final

      and i don't care for any of these teams

      have no real interest in all the wild card teams

       

      the only "star" who really interests me is mckinnon

      but the avs are not ready yet

       

      so yawn

      i'll read the stats in the morning

      and do other things with my evening

       

      i think sports is less of a priority for me overall

      don't care about the nba either

      for the opposite reason.. all the rounds turn out just as they should

      very little drama in that league's playoff

       

      i'll get interested again just prior to the nhl draft

      Most of your hockey viewers are from Canada and now that there are no teams left but U.S. teams, no wonder viewership is down and nobody gives a damn,I watch because I am a passionate hockey fan that has watched the cup being lifted more years than I want to admit.

      I hope one day the Canucks can finally lift that beautiful STANLEY CUP.

  4. What a crazy post season so far. All 4 division leaders out in round one. Love cheering for the underdogs. 

  5. I miss Canucks Hockey already. :(

      Just happened again.  Got that error message, so tried my other iPad.  (Yes, I have one with data for my scooter, and a basic one for at home). Same message on both iPads.  After a couple minutes, I’m able to get back here and play.  I’m with @debluvscanucks, and think it’s the refs giving me a 2 minute penalty for liking Alex Burrows.

      Unfortunately the programming will no longer accept my login with the apostrophe in my username.

      @naslund.is.king Yeah I don’t know why the game inflated his potential by so much. But I sure as hell took advantage. :P

      Roger Neilsons Towel

      @Phil_314 A fake player that EA created that I drafted and developed. And yes, I got assets for all of the players that you mentioned (mostly picks). #assetmanagement

       

      Stretcher is my 7th Dman (scratched/not shown). 

       

      And what @-AJ- said about Hughes is unfortunately correct. Also the game doesn’t have Kole Lind for whatever reason (error?)

  9. Had a hard physical shift at work tonight. Came home completely drained. Figured I’d have a drink and watch the game on the PVR... I’m not going to lie. Ending a tough night by losing to the Leafs made me die a little inside... Thank god for Whisky...

      These games where we're completing shut out/down are so deflating.  All day, I was stoked.  Ran errands, worked out then settled in for what I hoped would be a good one.  Got a dud.  Then US, then Seahawks.  

      Aw well, that's how sports is.  On to the next day.  Cheers.  Rest up.

  10. Happy New Year CDC! I wish you all the best of Love, Health, and Happiness in 2019!

      Thats in his draft year. With that electric potential I’m thinking he will be a 1st liner. Possibly a good winger for Pettersson. 

       

      I had also traded Edler, Ericsson, Gagner, and Del Zotto at the deadline and got some extra picks. I used that in a package to trade for 4th overall to draft Byram. 

       

      Potential Top line forward and Top line defenseman in the same draft. Not too shabby.

      I also signed Bobrovsky and Karlsson in Free Agency and went from Rebuilder to Contender in 1 year. ::D

      It's so bright like our future....right now though, it looks pretty murky (but good things come to those that wait).

  13. IMO the only way we should pass on a Defenseman with our 1st overall pick is if Zadina falls to us at 7. Change my mind!

      BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE,however we are in serious need of defense men that know what they are doing.

      Play hard in your own zone, and jump up into the play at the right times to create that "killer" trailer guy offensively.

  15. Eklund Rumour (huge grain of salt), Tavares planning on meeting with Canucks before UFA.

     

    Here is the quote:

     

    Quote

    Tavares and Vancouver...

    Was just told by a source that Tavares has planned to visit with Vancouver during his five day window leading up to July 1. This doesn't mean he is going to sign there, but it is perhaps most interesting because this is the first team I have heard mentioned in a "Tavares visit" which implies Tavares DOES plan to let this go to July 1 and visit teams.."

     

    This is most likely just click bait so I won’t bother to make a proper thread or post the link here to generate revenue for his site. You know where Hockey Buzz is if you want to find it. 

     

    What are your thoughts on this if you were to take a HUGE leap here and assume this rumour had any truth to it? Would you sign him?

      The link is broken on my side. Anyway, the problem with Eklund is that he throws a bunch of rumours at big market teams like Vancouver and Montreal ALL the time, for no other reason than to attract fans of that market to look at his site. I will admit that he has cracked some rumours, but if you look at his track record, he has missed far more than he has hit. The ones that he has reported as E5 are usually the ones he reports after someone else has reported it.

       

      Look here to see how 'reputable' your precious Eklund is:

    Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I.”

  19. NHL releases official odds for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

      smithers joe

      only 4th place has lower odds than last year. that has to be us.

  20. Michael Del Zotto is one hit away from 200 for the season. He has the 3rd most hits of any NHL defensemen. 

     

    The only D-men who have more are Robert Hagg from PHI (232) & Nikita Zadorov from COL (206).

    1. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      Him and Vanek are the two signings I didn't actually mind, he hasn't been the Del-Zaster I thought he might be. He brings some much needed physicality to our blue line and hasn't been a tire fire in his own end.

    2. Master 112

      Master 112

      he's good in NHL 11

      was reading about a man who had fractured transverse process' when he was involved in the major train derailment outside Seattle a couple months back, full recovery expected and no long term issues just need to heal.

      Was saying elsewhere, the 'lumbar transverse' sounds like an exotic move on the dance floor.
