      @coastal.view I actually have two sets. I'm waiting for the market for them to reach $1000 before I sell mine :lol: (nah gonna keep 'em)

      I would buy some but not for more than $50. $425?! Maybe if they were autographed.

      Honestly they didn't play any better against Calgary - Markstrom just stood on his head like he does. Just goes to show you the value Edler has to this team even though some on CDC like to say he is not that valuable or should not be re-signed.

    Sorry Deb, but @oldnews likes to belittle others and it gets frustrating. I'll be good. 

  6. Sounds like Benning offered Nikita a 2 year extension, so now I'm just sad. This team.

      Watch us fall in the lottery. Probably 5th. Can't &^@#ing win. 

  7. Stevie Y is in tight to make room for Karlsson with all those NTCs... only guy they can move with no NTC  is JT Miller. Kucherov isn't going anywhere.

      On one hand, if Yzerman pulls off the Karlsson trade, he makes TBL an even bigger powerhouse than before.  On the other hand, he could very well be painting himself into a salary-cap-hell corner.

      well i cannot recall who i had this debate with

      i was told by someone that guddy would play more games then tanev this season

      i said no

      but was assured that he'd have more games played then tanev before tanev returned from his injury

      all i can say about gud is that since he has joined this team he is unable to play even 1/2 the games

      that concerned me in his resigning discussions

      and unfortunately my fears have been realized again this season

      i guess there is always next year for gud to try again to stay healthy

      no it didn't go that far. 

  12. That stupid McDavid commercial they play 20 times per game is driving me crazy. Its really funny though, it cracks my wife up every time when they show that workout scene where he's carrying two small kettlebells, she laughs and says "look at McDavids little balls" :lol: thats my gal, true Canucks fan.

      He definitely did well today, these are the deals he should've been doing all along but I suspect there is massive interference from ownership sadly.  Even if poolman is a bust it shouldn't handicap the team, taking on OEL though.... yikes.  What got him to this point deserves criticism but he somehow found a way out that hole and learned from last offseason.  Today was definitely a good day for the team.

      It would be more concerning if the Canucks were getting consistently outshot every game, but they haven't been:

      The median shooting percentage at 5 on 5 this season is about 8%. They won't continue to shoot this poorly.

      Normally I'm not a big fan of taking on bad contracts, but in this case, we really do have the $$. you'd think theres a team out there that would love to shed the last 1 or 2 years of a bad contract and add some picks.

      Is Tanev confirmed to be injured? I thought he returned to the game? Sutter being hurts def sucks. Not sure we'd have parted with Baer anyway considering how weak we are on the wing.

      I'm probably getting too far ahead of myself by hoping the last player selected by compensatory pick develops into a Hall of Famer, right?

       

      I'll settle for plays regularly in the NHL, though in a few years.

      I just think its funny that in the 100s of proposals that included this pick, we may have ended up with a better player by actually using it in the draft.

      About 1997? We had a snowfall in November. I was working for a cell phone company on the North Shore.

      So I was driving over the Lions Gate Bridge. And snow was starting to fall. It was one of those picture postcard moments. Then I think it was CFMI on the radio, the DJ played Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas". It was that brief moment in syncronicity, and to top it off. The crescendo was right as I was driving off the bridge. 


      I won't forget that moment. I gotta say it was beautiful. Gave me chills, but in a good way.

      @Ghostsof1915 Awesome mate. it's beautiful how such moments get frozen in memory. Had one like that where I was drivin home from Cowtown(Dec 1992)..had broken up with LT girl, & even my heater(old Datsun) was broken!

      :^) blowin cold air, all night thru the Rockies. I was blastin G & R, screamin lyrics louder than Axel, to keep warm. Finally reached Hope..the town that is, not the state of mind,  Couldn't pick up Van radio yet, but wondered which tune would welcome me back to Gawd's country.

      Around Chilli, there were Larry & Willy's grating enthusiasm, announcing they were now playing the MOST requested tune, for some call-in, who wanted to record the classic:

       

      "I'll have a bbbbbbbb blue Christmmas, w,w,w,without youuuuuu!..." (the Porky Pig classic cover)

      Felt so damn good..laughin with a tear in the eye! 28 yrs, & feels like yesterday.

      its like you've heard this before 

    3. Coconuts

      It also reflects the quality and integrity of the Leafs roster. Jake's a party boy who doesn't take his diet or training seriously, he's obviously not invested and now he's overpaid. Expect two or three articles about how the Virtanen signing exposes Benning's investment in flawed hockey players. I mean, he signed Loui who's flaw is that he's only willing to score most of his goals into empty nets so there's a track record. But expect any comments related to Leafs star Matthews not exposing Bening, just himself, to mysteriously vanish.

      Well, Jake is at Tyler Myer's house every day exercising

       

      so....either Jake is going to come to camp fit

       

      or.....Myers is coming to camp looking like a balloon
