He got us a KARLSSON!

This sure validates the trade, as @Alain Vigneault said above JB saw the tea leafs and got something for a player who’s looking like has a long road to the NHL if ever. Wasn’t happy with the trade at the offset but happily admit that I am wrong.

29. You will never get your “city of champions” sign back as Boston has taken it and is keeping it for the foreseeable future. But we made a new sign for you Coilers in it’s place.

My mistake as it looks like there was an optional year left over on his contract the following year. Can’t recall if the Canes exercised it or not the following year. Another absolute rental player that the Canes also acquired was Doug Weight and he absolutely went back to the blues the following year after the Canes cup win.

Mark Recchi trade in 2006 when the hurricanes won the cup. But you are right as it doesn’t happen often that teams win cups on TDL deals on the year they make the deal/win cup.

What burns my bacon to a burnt crisp is fans who are selective with our draft picks who haven’t lived up to their draft position. All the while ignoring the fact that ALL teams have misses and even when the drafted player is still playing in the league it’s yet a failure pick in their eyes because they aren’t an All Star.

Completely agree with this. While sure I don’t want the Bruins to win. I don’t wish bad fortunes other then then that, while many on here want them to all be in the hospital. And why do we hate Marchand? Because he’s that bloody good. We all loved Burr when he was here, but we have the rat as Boston enemy #1 but they are similar players. Hate to admit it but Brads production is twice as good as Burr’s was. Both teams are taking their jabs at each other and no team is innocent in these finals. I’m glad they are similar to each other so they can both dish it and take it. Hope this goes to 7. Also I get that Matt Murray vibe from Binnington as well.

Man it sucks because they really had a good chance to be up 2-0. Gotta make this game 3 coming up count with KD set to come in by game 4. I’m really proud of how the raptors have kept pace with the champs. Speaking of the warriors, they are not even close of being healthy and as long as that’s the case Toronto has a shot at the title. And lastly we haven’t seen Kawhi’s best game in the finals yet.

Yeah he finally put Allen in and just gotta put this one behind them and you are quite right, they always find a way to bounce back in these playoffs. On to the next one blues brothers!

I guess blues were happy to just get that single win finally in the SCF. They are playing like crap turning the puck over and the rookie goalie is looking like a rookie goalie. Curtains on this one.

Can’t offer ELC’s to prospects when we are up against the contract limit and yes after drafting a player I believe you have 2 years to decide to give them an ELC or they become FAs or go back into the draft just as Matt Brassard is doing. And unfortunately picks like these have no value for trades so we end up cutting bait as every team does with their prospects that aren’t panning out. I remember there was a time that the forum was losing their collective poop about not signing Jordan Subban before he would be eligible to go back into the draft. We did sign him where he was serviceable in Utica but never able to make it to the show. Knowing what we know now, it’s worth a giggle to look back on. Anyhow I didn’t ever think Gunnarson was going to be an NHLer (mind you JB did say he will play) but you still have to pick someone with these late picks. Wish him the best in his hockey future or he could always become a model or some bad guy in a Steven Seagal movie.

Starting to show actually, not as dominant as before at least on the phone side of things. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/02/21/huawei-takes-market-share-from-apple-iphone-samsung-galaxy-gartner.html

I’ve disliked iTunes ever since Apple changed the format without a choice 4-5 years ago and erased mine and everyone else’s playlists and had to reload the music library. Never was interested at wasting my time having to recreate all those playlists again. Then when speaking with Apple about it, there was never a real reason why it happened.

This is exactly the order in which I’d like the Canucks to pick a forward with Dach at the top. Big skilled fast Center that could move to Petey’s wing to create space for him and Brock for years to come. But as most have said highly doubtful that’s he’s still available at 10. I can definitely see a team like LA or Detroit to take him. But Quinn fell to us last year so anything is possible. Cozens is the best player to ever come out of the Yukon and is a heart and soul player that resembles Bo. Let’s hope that post draft lotto luck falls in our favour as it did last year and in 2017.

Poor fan got too close with his Vancouver Island sign and gets it ripped away. Came a long way to get that taken. They still hate us in Toronto https://streamable.com/dyiua

One game was deserving of that hit from behind. I agree with the call

What a monster game by Siakam just like Lowry had in game one last round. Everyone is stepping up at the right time. It’s just one game but it’s damn exciting. Be humble but stay hungry.

Yeah would be cool if they pulled it off and have the exposure that the Jays did back in their DejaBlue 90s days. Whatever helps this country boost the game and hopefully one day help get us a team back here. Seattle gets a team first before that happens. Just to be in the finals is a grandstand of exposure on it’s own. But a raptors title would do wonders for this country and the game regardless of what we think of Toronto media.

Pretty cool that Rapts have homecourt, didn’t follow the regular season much this year and was shocked to see that Toronto did better than GS in the standings. Still the BIG underdog. I love my country but I hate TO media. Go go you might morphin Raptors

I’m just happy that no team can come in and offersheet Brock as he has only played two full seasons and the same will apply to Gaudette and Hughes when their ELCs expire. One of the perks of that late in the season contract signing from College to the bigs. We can get a deal done without any vulture GMs meddling in the process. That and he doesn’t have arbitration rights. I would be good with a 8X8 because by the time halfway through the deal when Brock is scoring 40-50 goals a season, that deal will then be a steal.

Ok now you’re killing me. Sure thing 8 year “new guy”

You are supporting a team and a horrible dirty POS on a CANUCKS FORUM and you are expecting us to be ok with it?! You know where you are and what to expect, if not you should know better not to be such a black and yellow cheerleader in these parts. There is a different team and their forum for that. But all in good fun at the end of the day.

Yes yes I guess it all depends on who you are and what team you cheer for. Lucky for you, this guy has the league in his hand, yes I said hand because his other hand is very busy at the moment. A bruins fan calling us savages though, that’s a good one bro! If the league was serious about taking these hits out of the game, things like Marchands sucker punch in the back of the head would’ve been addressed, but again it all depends what team you play for at the end of the day.

If it was Troy Stetcher people would be saying *!&@ all. In fact Krug plays like Stetcher but puts up 40-50 point seasons consistently. It’s only that he’s a Bruin that he gets hated on.
