  1. I love Stech, but unfortunately he’s the odd man out on D. Especially since we have upcoming promising prospects like Juolevi, Rafferty, Woo etc. Cap room is a problem too. Wouldn’t mind us recouping some picks since we gave up our first & second rounder.
  2. I’m with you. Believe me, I’ve met some awesome Canuck fans but I’ve also met some truly ridiculous ones too. I find it can go two ways: There’s the ones that stick with the team through thick and thin and try to look at the positives, but aren’t afraid to be constructively critical when appropriate. And then you have the incessant whiney fans that pick apart every little move JB makes and say he’s the worst GM ever. Even though he’s restocked an empty prospect pool, got us a very good young core that is just breaking into the NHL and making good hockey trades that will come valuable in playoff time. Every loss is all Green’s fault even though he’s done great things with This young team. Unfortunately, the bandwagon crew is the loudest. I try my best to just tune out the noise.
  3. Oh noooo the world is ending!! our prospect pool was ranked #8 in Sporting News and #13 by the Athletic and consistently hovers in the top 10 ish rankings (mind you before Madden left) but yeah, I’d say our pool is pretty solid. Madden hasn’t even turned pro, and is unproven. Not too mention is really light. Has good potential and made strides, but until he lights up Pro, he would not make it over Podkolzin or Hoglander. ELC apply to them too btw.
  4. Trying to save his job??? We literally just resigned him and we have been a legit competitive team this year! Our prospect pool is getting filled and Madden was likely behind both Podkolzin and Hoglander in terms of making the team, and you can probably count some players in Utica above him too. Yes Madden was a good prospect but he probably wasn’t going to crack the roster anytime soon. And we had to give up something to get Toffolli.
  5. People were freaking out over the Miller trade which proved to be an amazing steal, and now it’s a similar song. Hasn’t JB earned our trust? People scrutinize him for everything and most of the time they end up panicking over nothing. Can’t wait till the Negative Nancys are shut up once again.
  6. He 100% deserved a suspension for that hit. It was a dangerous play to the head. No defending that. But he’s also 100% correct about the DOPS. They throw the book hard at repeat offenders to make it look like they are doing something but then they let certain players get away with way worse offences, ex. like Chara. That guy has done a lot of questionable hits and incidents but The DOPS refuses to ever punish him. It’s become a joke how bad it is.
  7. Whatever his intentions were, the results could have been scary and dangerous. It’s unacceptable and has no place in this sport. You’re wearing sharp skates for crying out loud! Should be a suspension. But who knows what the DOPS will do. Parros’s suspensions and non suspensions have been downright moronic at times.
  8. @FarhanLaljiTSN Markstrom said he was more nervous than usual playing following the #Sedins retirement ceremony. Said Edler told him to calm down before he went onto the ice. #Canucks Eagle being the calming veteran he is like Henrik and Daniel were.
  9. Marky was lit tonight! Stellar performance. PK was solid. Not our best game, but we got the win on Sedin night! Thanks again to our Swedish twins who brought us so many memories! Love ya Hank and Danny!
  10. Ceremony was beautifully done. So much class by the Canucks organization, the Sedins themselves wishing JB well to start their speech, and the fans cheering every former player including Kesler. I’m a tough nut to crack but I cried when #22 & #33 went to the rafters. So many great memories.
  11. Absolutely Terrifying. Reminds me of the Jiri Fischer and Rich Peverley incidents. I pray for his wellbeing and hope he recovers fast. But after something like this, makes me think that he may have played his final game. Family and Health come first. All the best to JB.
  12. Anyone want to share their best Hank and Danny memories? My and my bestie happened to be at the last home game in 2010 against Calgary when Daniel scored the between the legs hat-trick goal. Henrik got 4 points that made him pass Ovie for the league lead and ended up clinching the Art Ross the next day. It was unreal. Chants of “MVP” were everywhere in the building, out of the building and continued through the night. A night I will never forget. Thank you Sedins. You’re inspirations for all people striving for decency in this world!
  13. Ridiculous! Rous clearly got fined because of his reputation and for the DOPS trying to cover their butts for their awful handling of suspensions. So Petey gets hit from behind on a dangerous play; no suspension or fine is given and something so minor like this worthy of a fine??? Makes perfect sense!
  14. Yep. Trolls still in full force. FiRe GrEeN! FiRe NeWeLl BrOwN! WoRsT ReBuIlD eVeR! Thats how this fanbase rolls tragically.
  15. Maybe not overall but He’s definitely part of it. That contract is downright atrocious
  16. I remember some fans wanted us to sign him in the off season. I was vehemently opposed to signing EK after seeing how much regression I saw in his play last season, but fans were chastising me for not wanting him. Lol, I wonder where those mofos are Now? Bullet dodged!
