  1. C'mon, Nucks. We have to put a winning streak together now. We have no choice anymore. A few more losses and we have no playoffs.
  2. I don't think trading Gaud is in the cards. It was going to be him or Madden centering the third line, and with the TT trade, I think Gaud is here to stay for now.
  3. I've been really interested in Makar lately so I've watched quite a few Colorado games. No, doubt - Makar is good; really good, but Hughes is better. Makar is fast, very good positionally, has a great shot and passes well. Hughes has all that while using the whole ice and maintaining puck control. Makar does not control the game or drive play like Hughes does. I wouldn't trade Hughes for Makar straight up. No way.
  4. I still cant believe we got him for a bench warmer, a prospect, and a 2nd round pick.
  5. The media calls them counter protests. Us Albertans are just out picking up garbage when we see it on railways, is all.
  6. He played mainly with Petey and Miller.
  7. Hughes is such an amazing player, said everybody, everywhere, everywhen.
  8. We better get serious here and string some wins together. My fingernails need to heal.
  9. I don't know. I think it is very possible that there are very good players out there that would really like to play with this new Canucks team. I feel the opposite - we have a really good chance of re-signing him.
  10. Push back is hard to accomplish in today's game. Refs are always looking for retaliations. Instead of pushing back, I say initiate actions in all games and let other teams retaliate. That's today's game.
  11. Petey is angry and a fire has been stoked under him. He is gonna get meaner. Watch him put on another 20 pounds of muscle this summer. Imagine him in 4 years - 6'4" and 200 lbs of shifty hell.
  12. Score could have been 10-2 if Marky didn't stand on his head again. Flames were hungrier. Looked like they were starving, in fact. We had no response and were schooled. It wont be the last time either, but we keep getting better and better. Cheers!
  13. LOL. Brock is doing great. So is Virtanen and Gaudette. Keep em all, if you can. We have 3 good, young right handers that are being taught how to play up and down the lineup. Patience, grasshoppers.
  14. Completely fair comment. Hughes drives the play and controls tempo every time he is on the ice, in all zones.
  15. I said nothing about Baer, Goldy and a second. But that doesn't matter. Brock and Bo and a 1st for Hertl is still crazy talk. Any Canuck GM would be looking for a job real quick if they pulled that one.
  16. Hughes is the definition of an NHL gem. Soooo good.
  17. That line of Petey, Hughes and the flames guy stole the show as far as I'm concerned.
  18. Love it when wingers can play their off wing. I played LW as a RH shot and I found it easier to protect the puck on the backhand and when given a chance to cut inside, there was more net to hit when shooting. If we didn't need wingers on the right side like we do, I'd love to see a line with Pods on the right side and Virt on the left side at one point.
  19. The biggest surprise for me is how Virt has taken off this year. I thought we wouldn't be seeing this from him for another couple years.
