  1. What do you think it would take to pry Chris Kreider from the NYR?

      I could see them wanting something around Virtanen or Stecher I don't think the Canucks would do that. I think they are more interested in Evander Kane.

      Heard an expert on the radio, forgot the guy's name, saying Kreider is one of those players valued a lot more by fans outside of the city he plays in than at home.  He's overrated.  I like the Baer + a second offer proposed by @Odd.  Any more is an overpayment for an overrated player.

      These Evander Kane rumors have got to stop. How many science experiments do we need ??

  2. People call the Bo-Schnieder trade a wash thus far. I disagree. Since the trade, Bo has played in more playoff games than Cory. When it is all said and done, I think we will have won that trade by a wide margin.

      let's see who has played more playoff games after this season is done ?\

      @-AJ- But #1's play every playoff game

      @ReggieBush Ah yes, my mistake there, I misread. Still, that's more of a measure of team success than individual player success I suppose. There were a couple of years when I'd argue Schneider was a top 5 goaltender in the league.

  3. I have made it a priority the last year to make sure I let a lot of my good friends (both guys and girls) know that I love them. I am a straight male and a large demographic of my friends come from a group that aren't typically receptive to that sort of affection from a male friend. 

     

    At first, many thought it was strange, but the more I said it, the more they became receptive too it. The more they became open with their feelings with me. Today, my a good friend of mine couldn't make a phone call for a minor reason. Not a big deal, its life. But he ended up saying how much he appreciates me as a friend and that he loved me.

     

    Honestly idk why I made this post, but him saying that made my night. I recommend trying it out. It could change relationships.

      Good on you, for taking the lead with something so basic but often not done until it's too late.  It's a wonderful thing you've started.

      It really shows how, on a larger scale, that stuff spreads.  That, by being kind and sharing love that others are inclined to follow.  Rather than all the negative stuff we tend to absorb on a daily basis.

       

      I love this post.  I have learned to do the same with family ... having both parents with cancer at the same time taught me not to take anything for granted.  

       

      Haha, along those lines my ex is very "straight"...uncomfortably so.  So the first time our daughter's b/f reached in to give him a hug it was sort of a "what are you doing, man??!" moment.  Now they hug every time we're all leaving an event.

      Reading this is a great way to start the day, thank you.

      i have love ones that i wish now that i had said i love you more often when they were alive. it can be tough. telling my son and grandson i love them, when they got older felt awkward and they seemed a little uncomfortable with it. i never say that to friends but if you and them feel comfortable, great.

      Makes me hope that Canada, UK, or France or any national team destroys the US in a game in the future. Just to see how they would feel. I bet the US media would be freak out.

      Difference between a no class individual like Avery and the rat Marchand?  Avery generally just hurts your feelings with his mouth.  Marchand tries to deliberately physically injure you.

  12. So my old HS is playing in the Provincials for basketball. I have friends on the the team, so I was excited to find out that they were streaming the games online. The only thing is that you have to pay $8 PER DAY to watch High School kids in 480p. Are you kidding me? How ridiculous is that?

      Safe to say that there is only 16 games left and that the Canucks still suck at hockey.

       

      Same with the Sabres, but they have one game less to play.

       

      I'm already looking forward to both teams being in the top 5-10 of the draft.

      I'll settle for Travis Green or Gerard Gallant.

       

      Who wants to coach a rebuilding team that doesn't have great young pieces YET who are NHL ready.

      Shot glass and a glass of water and my prescription on my kitchen counter. Make breakfast, put the pills in the shot glass. Gulp of water and the pills done. Its the ones in the afternoon I sometimes miss. Hopefully the better in shape I get, the less they will be needed. The joys of getting older.

      Not really struggle, but in my case the bigger the pill gets the more apt it is to go down sideways. With some multivitamins being the size and flavour of a humid horse, the whiskey helps.

      Same man... Rough couple of weeks with Michigan football and my Bears.

       

      Sometimes I feel the urge to completely throw sports out of my life because I get so emotionally and even physically hurt and disgusted when something doesn't go my team's way like last night vs the Packers. Like I feel like the big wins don't at all make up for the bad losses that hurt TBH, or maybe it's just cuz none of my teams have ever gone all the way and so I don't really know the feeling.

      yeah cuz they traded the 1st overall pick

      they had that one year

      not sure how that really counts

      except i guess it is an accurate fact

      that there is some sort of unfairness to this team

      that the nhl has it written into their bylaws

      every season

  20. Looking ahead to this road trip, if the boys are serious about making a run at this thing (meaning the playoffs), they need at least 8 of 12 points. This roadie is not as tough as the last one imo, and I think with the way the team is playing right now, it is definitely possible.

      I don't view playoffs aspirations as selfish, I'm excited for us to get back there too. The character these guys will build as they fight for points down the stretch should stay with them for years, even their whole careers. Playoffs happen when they happen. For now, 1 game at a time.

  21. Get my travel story today trying to get back to Vancouver

     

    Left Pullman, WA by bus to go to Spokane Airport at 4pm

    Got to Spokane Airport at 6

    Got through security and to my gate at 630 (Flight at 845 to Seattle, Connecting Flight 1115 to Vancouver)

    Flight delayed a half hour

    Flight delayed another half hour

    Get on plane, mechanical failure another 45 min delay

    Get into Seattle at 12 AM, I am on the tarmac as my plane leaves while I am waiting for my bag, which I didn't want to check in and was forced too.

    Its ok because there is a flight to Bellingham which fits my schedule. They had space and didn't let me on, made me go to customer service where there was 70 people in front of me.

    Waited in that line for and hour and a half

    Got a flight to bellingham for 9am tomorrow and a free night at the red lion.

    Waited a half hour for a shuttle to the hotel. 

    I just got into my room now, 11 hours since my departure.

     

    Did I mention, I have a wedding that starts tomorrow at 11 (at UBC)?

      My favorites were when they didn't know were my 10 year old niece was after her flight landed after 30 mins when they were supposed to be accompling her. Another time was we we less than 5 mins to take off, and had to de board after they made their annoncement.  One of the  brakes were worn down.  Another time we were missing a First Commander.  Another time, mechanical failure.  Another time, the crew was on another flight waiting to land.  But when I flew up to Alaska and back, they were a delight and took off on time to and from. And I told everyone to give them a second chance.  Then I flew with them again, and we were back to square one.  I get so pissed off at them, then a few months later, I fly with them again because they are cheap and have more flights, then I remember why I was not going to fly with them.  It's a cycle.

  23. There are tons of media that are clamouring for us to be bad (**cough** Botch **cough**) and that the worst case scenario is a 9th place finish in the conference. I look at some of the players that were taken in the 12-18 range (where I think we will pick) and I see a lot of really good talent. Macavoy, Fabbro, Brannstrom, Vakkahainen, Denisenko, Ty Smith. We are going to get a really good player.

      I would tend to agree with botch for other teams. But when it’s your players in the early 20’s winning you meaningful games it can only be good for them.

       

      When the Sedins and Vrbata along with Ryan Miller got the team to the playoffs, I didn’t really see the benefit in that going forward. We got lucky Boeser fell that next draft but he easily couldn’t have

      At this point, finishing just outside the playoffs is more valuable than a pick around 7-10 IMO. We have most of the pieces we need to become competitive already, they just haven't fully matured yet.
