  1. Horvat, Toffoli, Pearson and Gaudette with a combined 0 shots on goal tonight. Going to need more than that from these guys.
  2. You don't even need to have been in a locker room before, anyone who's been around a douchebag jock in high school knows these guys have no issues talking like this.
  3. Markus Naslund was traded to the Canucks at the 1996 trade deadline for Canuck Legend Alek Stojanov
  4. It was there right after the Pettersson goal. But almost right on cue, they kill the momentum with a mediocre powerplay
  5. No doubt. CBJ has 3 wins in their last 15 and 2 of them have been against the Canucks.
  6. Not a great sign when two of the league's lowest scoring teams can come back from a deficit and take the lead in the 3rd.
  7. Bottom line is, this game should have been 4-1 Canucks with the empty net. They had full control against an injury ravaged team with 1 win in 11. There is no way they should have lost this, especially in regulation.
  8. It would be disappointing to hear the excuse of "we're a young team that's still learning" when two 30 year old vets blew it in a crucial part of the game.
  9. The 3rd line has not been good in a while. I'm not sure why Green insists on keeping Roussel - Gaudette - Virtanen together. They have some decent games at home because they get favorable match ups, but they have been pretty bad on the road.
  10. Canucks puck management has been below average the last 3 games. With that said, this team needs a spark. Time for Big Mac to come in for Roussel or Eriksson.
  11. The Laffs first line couldn't even score on a 42 year old zamboni driver.
  12. I know people have been ragging on Green to scratch Loui in favour of MacEwan, but Roussel deserves to scratched more. The guy's been invisible in the last 15 games or so.
  13. That third line can do damage in the offensive zone, but they are tough to watch in the D zone. They consistently get hemmed in their own zone for lengthy shifts at least 2-3 times a game. Hope they can turn that around.
  14. I like the trade, even though the price is steep. I also appreciate the management going all in (like the Blue Jackets) to get into the playoffs. The Canucks have as good a chance to make it into the dance this year than they have in 5 years and our core is set for the next 5 years or so. Risky move, but this team needs the playoff experience.
  15. Good deal based on the fact that Benning acquired a Canuck killer . Toffoli has 13 career goals against the Canucks, the most he has against any other team in the league. Now let's hope Tyler doesn't pull a Loui and score on his own net.
  16. Deslauriers was a defenseman all throughout Junior and in the AHL. It was only when he was called up to the NHL in Buffalo that he was converted to a forward: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/nicolas_deslauriers/
  17. From stud D man in junior and the minors to a 4th line enforcer in the NHL. Interesting career for Deslauriers so far.
  18. Green went off on the officiating (or lack there of) after the Bruins game. This is definitely a scripted response, as I’m sure he’s been talked to by management or the league to watch what he says about the refs.
  19. Loui has 5G, 3A in 8 career games against Boston. Good bet he scores today
