  1. I’ve been excited about Demko since the day we drafted him. It’s kinda cool to see it all come together after following him since. I’ve noticed he’s been getting recognized as a Top 5 goaltender across the league. We are so lucky to have him

      McDavid will be having nightmares about Demko at the Olympics.

      If he shut down Canada at the Olympics I wouldn't even be mad tbh, considering the talent Canada has at it's disposal

  2. I made a status update about taking break from CDC a week ago. For whatever reason it never turned out. Boredom I suppose. Anyways the reasons behind that would be the toxicity of the discussions re; Hughes and Petey I foresaw as we patiently wait for their contracts to be resolved and the season to start. Turns out I was right we have a Hockey God/Expert in the Proposal Section. Why do I bother? For the greater good I suppose. A balance in the force? 
    Do people not remember having ZERO good young stars. We have a handful now and people want to blow that up? AMAZING

      I was going to do the same thing.

      I wish we'd just nuke the proposals section tbh.

      Folx get too emotional..armchair-JB'n is a hoot

  3. Saw a list on IG showing the Canucks and Penguins most injured teams over the past 10 years. Honestly not surprised. We’ve had garbage luck in that department. A lot of grief about certain players snd their contracts over the years but a lot has had to do with injuries. Sutter for example probably would have been worth his 4 mill if not for injuries. He was practically an ironman 20 goal scoring, shutdown center before Van

      Yeah I think that’s more in the last couple years though :lol:

      Doesn't surprise me, I blame some of it on all the travel we end up doing 

       

      Canucks luck

      While also having our star Henrik leading the modern day ironman with 10 yrs at one time?

      Being in top physical shape, smart, aware and lucky help

       

       

      He travelled and played more than any Canuck player

      Playing in Allstar, Olympics, Playoffs, Tournaments

      Plus home to Sweden

       

      His Airmiles points must be huge :)

       

  4. Media: hearing 4-6 new cases

    Real Life: no new cases, team travelling to SJ

      Hopefully less “hearing” and more “happening”

      Trump coined the term fake news. 

       

      Crazy how many people accept the erroneous fact that we have to live with fake news. We don't.  We just need to stand up to the media and demand better or tune them out.

      Does anyone really consider Sekeres news though? He's kinda the Tucker Carlson of the Canadian sports twitter world.

  5. Why isn’t Quinn Hughes talked about more. Not only did he become the fastest defencemen in NHL history to 200 assists he’s also underrated af defensively 

    1. -SN-

      -SN-

      It's a little amazing how under-marketed he is, by the Canucks and the league.

    2. goalie13

      goalie13

      He isn't talked about more because most of the talk around here is about who people want to trade away.

    3. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      By us, or by the league?
      I think it's a good thing that he's a pillar that just efficiently gets the job done as the best in his position on our team, and when he's on he's dominant in connecting the dots between playing defense and creating scoring chances for the forwards.  He can score but EP40 and Miller have really helped carry the mail in that regard, and his subordinates on the blueline rightfully deserve attention, even if it's not positive (e.g. trade Myers, what do we do about OEL, etc.).

      Around the league, he belongs in the same tier as Makar. Heiskanen, Dahlin, Fox, etc. but I'm fine if other markets don't view him as highly; he is smaller and not as flashy (Makar and Fox can go on rushes, Heiskanen and Dahlin were viewed as wunderkinds in their draft years whereas Hughes is more of a puck-mover, and his lack of size gives the impression that he's not that good defensively, but we know from scouting reports in his draft year that his way of defense is swooping in, stealing the puck and transitioning it.  I'm starting to appreciate that element of his game too, even if it's relatively unheralded).

  6. It’s playoffs baby. Canucks style. The off-season is upon us. Let the games begin!

      This is where the GM's prove their mettle.

      I need some action asap.

       

      NJ 2nd overall.

    3. Devron

      Devron

      Yeah I’m in off-season mojo now. Let’s go! Do stuff 

  7. Just glad we didn’t ship Schenn for a 6Th rounder. Glad management sees the value in having a player like Schenn on the roster even if it’s only one more year.

    1. Roger Neilsons Towel

      Roger Neilsons Towel

      100%. Schenn has more value to this team as a gritty leader than what we would get in trade value. 

    2. JM_

      Some best moves are ones not made. This is in that category. 

    3. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      Agree 100%. He's a keeper....love that he put Tkachuk in his place.

  8. Go 5-2 on this home stand and I don’t think anyone’s getting moved (maybe some minor things) It’s playoff push time! 

    1. JM_

      JM_

      I wonder if we'll see some lower-level hockey trades instead, e.g., Hoglander for a d upgrade? maybe move one of Poolman or Hamonic for a mid-round pick? that sort of thing. 

    2. Devron

      Devron

      Yeah that’s more what I think. Hopefully they hold onto to Hoglander but if we can dump one of those 2-3 million contacts. Keep our picks. That’s what I’d wanna see 

    3. Wash

      Wash

      Playoff push you say? 

       

  9. I’m enjoying the games nevertheless. There is still hope for playoffs (not likely I know) but also gonna be an interesting deadline. Sure beats the heck outta last year.

      I've sort of taken that stance for awhile now and just watch each game for only that. I don't check the standings (although I see updates) because "it is what it is". I'm still super happy to even have sports to watch as I remember how awful the world felt when they shut down. 

       

      Grateful to have a team. Mostly JT Miller.

  10. Gonna be a good game tomorrow. 5 zip Canucks 

    1. luckylager

      5 - 0 eh..

       

      Are they playing a Bantam team?

      Ballisticsports.

      The Canucks are already zip in 5 games 

       :rolleyes:

  11. It’s awesome that Connor Bedard’s favourite player is Tyler Motte

    1. N4ZZY

      N4ZZY

      Yeah. Pretty awesome. 

      I want Bedard so badly, but I know he’s not going to land in blue and green.

      Such a likeable player on and off the ice.  

  12. Half way mark. Looking forward to getting our players back and going on a run. Bruce there it is 

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      I see us going 30 - 9 -2 over the second half.

      We will get second in our division too.  

    2. JM_

      JM_

      this group does have the potential to go on a nice run. We need to take it to Cowgary and beat the traitor Markstrom tho. 

  13. I just wanna watch more Bruce B hockey

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      Been a long time since I've been this stoked for another game, but I'm with you.  Exact same feeling as when Crow took over for me.

  16. Gonna take awhile to analyze every player we got today. I lost track half way through the day. 

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      I'll help you out. Benning sucks at his job. I'll tell you why. The ones he paid 1 mill for meant that no one else wanted them. For the longer contracts, he got out GM'd. /sar ;)

       

       

    2. Devron

      Devron

      I’ll do you one better The good moves were the Sedins. The bad moves were Benning lol

  17. Loving the aggressive style of play we are playing. Night and day from the defensive collapse. It’s funner to watch too.
     

    PK is creeping up on 70% What a hole that was dug there 

    1. Mustard Tiger

      Mustard Tiger

      I'm looking forward to the PK now as i'm sure the opposition sure isn't with how aggressive we are on it. Effing love it. Bruce does what we all have wanted WITH THE SAME PLAYERS! 

      The PP is now 12th overall and going to pass wpg soon on the pk hehe

  19. The Black Skate is obviously a fan favourite. My personal as well. However I’m tired of changing jerseys all the time. I’d like to see the Skate as a permanent fixture as the third jersey. 12 games a year. Keeps it fresh and fun as well 

    1. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      I've moved my need to accepting the idea of the skate as a regular 3rd jersey. The Skate looks good, but I'm glad we haven't changed logos substantially in about 25 years. Throw it in as a 3rd and maybe even try a white skate jersey now and then, but I don't want a permanent change.

  20. More than anything I’m excited to see the team play under a new coach. Assess then make the necessary changes. Stoked for game day tomorrow 

  21. If you cared about your team you’d make changes. 2 weeks over due

    1. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      If they'd really been serious they'd have turfed him after that first lost homestand. They've basically let the season slip through their fingers. 

  22. Bring Back Bruce! He’s been the best thing for this franchise in a very long time.

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      I don't think anyone could have expected any coach to do better.  Would love to see him back.

  23. Never been on team tank in my life but this is too juicy to turn down.

  24. It will be hilarious if Boeser is traded for Dumba (cap) in the end after all these years hah 

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      If Manny management had us make that offer it would be done already. Dumbs isn’t close to Boeser. 

  25. Trades - Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie. I need more, I need more
