  1. hey I don't know if you saw this for your trip - there's a Cirque du Soleil in town until Dec 31st if thats something you're into: https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/canada/vancouver/shows

     

    I've been to a few and they're a lot of fun. The big tent is right beside Rogers Arena.

      On Grouse Mountain you can snowshoe to an igloo, then build your own beside it. At $100 I think the price is a bit of a rip, but it's a pretty cool activity if you and him are into outdoor stuff. Unless you ski/snowboard in California I guess you wouldn't have the winter clothes for that though.

      It gets a lot colder in California than folks seem to think ahaha. We own snow boots, etc. I might actually check that out, thanks for the tip Green. 

  2. Is it time to try Jake on the LW with Bo and Boeser? I feel like this would create more space for Bo-Boeser to work its early magic. Jake's far better physical play to Baer's might buy them the space back they need to score. 

  3. et tu Louis? what the heck has been going on in hollywood? this one really bums me out.

  4. 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.

      Well we all know that Jimmy has very big hands....and you know what they say about a man who has big hands right?:P

  5. What are the cap implications if/when Shipachyov's contract is mutually terminated? Does some or all of it still count against the VGNs cap?

      Different circumstances but does that mean we could mutually terminate Eriksson's contract in the future with no penalty? I know buyout isn't an attractive option because of his contract structure.

      If Eriksson decides to go to the KHL.

      @Where's Wellwood thats kind of what I was wondering. Montreal didn't get a cap hit for terminating Streit's contract.... so maybe this is an option? There's 21 million in bonuses they'd have to pay him... but maybe thats best for both? I'm sure Loui wouldn't mind moving on from here.

      the "snowshoe grind" is a really nice trail. I'm drooling over the potential for an early ski season.

      I've actually never done it, but I've liked the idea of it for years. This should the season for it to happen.

      definitely take poles for the way down. its really nice though 

  8. the west is going to be a grind again, 9 teams (4th-12th) currently within 2 points of each other!

  9. So HNIC is saying Juolevi is being kicked around as part of a deal for Duchene? I don't know how I feel about that....

      So you're suggesting giving up 3 assets for a centre who will fill a top 6 hole for 2 or 3 years until Pettersson is ready?  I just don't see that happening in a rebuilding team.  

      Benning added centres Gagner and Burmistrov this past off season.  There is also Sutter and Granlund who may fill the role.  Granted, none of these players are locks to fill a top 6 role.

      Green has been playing Sutter a lot in a shut down / match up role and they are getting a lot of minutes.  Then there is always free agency if they don't think they have the right piece when Sedin retires.

      @Crabcakes when you put it that way... i guess not. Montreal is likely getting very desperate so thats probably where he ends up.

      give him time this season

      he seems to start slow

      he has 3 points so on a 40 point trend

      that is acceptable

      if he had 2 goals and 1 assist instead of 3 assists

      everything would be chugging along just fine in terms of our perception of him

    3. HI5

      HI5

      Horvat been carrying him..he's a bubble top 6 player and can't play bottom 6 role. He'll be surpassed by few prospects eventually and be traded to a team which needs fillers.

      i think bo and boeser need a tough winger with them that can give them more space. most lines need that. 

      when pettersson and dahlin, make it to the canucks, they will need a strong defensive, preferable tough line mate.

      i think that a gaudette, gadjovich, lind line, has all the elements of a good line. 

       

  12. I give up. Hate away CDC, but the treatment of Loui E is borderline shameful. People are actually celebrating a guy getting injured and acting like he's the next Messier. Its brutal.

      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. 

  14. If Megna gets called up on Tuesday, CDC will:

    1. Explode in a giant ball of electronic rage,

    2. Go eerily quiet, or

    3. Begin the #notmycoach ranting.

      I think you're onto something when saying that Green is simply doing his due diligence. If multiple games go by without any shakeup, what then? Green also professed to have watched a lot of Canuck games over the last year or years (leading to the now famous comment about their play during their meeting) so what's stopping him from implementing those changes now?

      road games will be a big test for the new style but I suspect Green will have some ideas there too.

      yep i agree

      i'm so curious to see pre game and in game adjustments by green

      he had the benefit of no track record in the nhl so far

      if he keeps this team winning the brightest minds in the game

      will try to dissect and undermine his systems

      so we'll see how good a coach he is as the season wears on
