  1. Oh FFS now he doesn't even get to be called Brock Boeser anymore? Come on, guys lol
  2. Boeser says no probably, which is unfortunate. I think Boeser knows how skilled he is, and a majority of people are either underestimating him or have completely forgotten that he was named All-Star MVP and very nearly won the Calder trophy. This may be due, in part, to the eclipsing of his rookie hype by Mr. Petey's stellar Calder season, but before he came along, Brock (and Bo) were considered our saviors, untouchable core pieces, and I think this is obviously still true. Boeser knows he is just starting out in his career, but he also knows that the ceiling on his potential is sky-high, and that is likely the reason he hasn't signed yet. The ol' badger GMJB is trying to wring out the best deal for the long run, but he knows he's going to have to pay up and as a result he'll potentially have to move out a player he'd prefer to keep in the future. I think Boeser would be satisfied with 8x8, but a lot of fans here are saying he should get no more than 7 - which to me is almost borderline ridiculous considering his pure snipeyness. But hey, that's just me, and I may have a small degree of bias considering he's one of my favorite Canucks in a long time. I think that 7 million is the BARE MINIMUM price that you're gonna get Boeser for and I think it'd be worth every penny. So just throw him 8 and jettison a Schaller or even a Baertschi (or 1/6th of an Eriksson) and let's get a deal done, pronto!
  3. Dissent: (noun) the expression or holding of opinions at variance with those previously, commonly, or officially held.
  4. Zach Borgiel is that you? Or is this Ben Howard? https://www.cowichancapitals.com/stats/player/6128/40/zach-borgiel https://www.cowichancapitals.com/stats/player/6129/40/ben-howard
  5. People think he isn't 6'4" as NHL.com listed yesterday
  6. Classic jersey. Awesome colors and logo. They should go with those jerseys full time
  7. He's actually just ordering several dozen footlong subs from Skip the Dishes for the hungry players
  8. For reference, in an article from NHL.com about Elias Pettersson yesterday, the following quote seems to have unearthed a bit of dissent. So I'd like to ask the wonderful and intelligent posters of CDC to "weigh in" so to speak! Do you think Petey is actually 6'4? Vote above! Three days till pre-season puck drops! HYPE TRAIN FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Fun fact: The Undertaker is also not actually 7 feet tall. He's 6'10".
  10. I will be satisfied with no less than 50g 55a
  11. Virtanen, Boeser, Baertschi, Eriksson, Tanev and Sutter to Tampa for Kucherov, Point, 2020 1st And voila cap issues are solved XD
  12. I honestly can't believe there are people that think we would be fine without Boeser, lol He's as big of a core piece as anyone else not named Pettersson, and our team would be much worse without him in the lineup.
  13. Also wow somehow I didn't know Petey was 6'4. Good lord! He's almost as tall as Marky
  14. Petey speaks SUCH a humble kid, and SUCH a skilled player. I can't wait to see the goals he accomplishes this season and in the future. I am hoping that someday, 15-20 years down the road, we can look back at these beginning times of the Pettersson era and say that we got to see the whole career of the GREATEST CANUCK OF ALL TIME!
  15. .............. ........Nevermind. Anyway, not sure if this has been posted in this thread yet, but here's another article from NHL.com Horvat's comments on Boeser's contract situation
  16. I want to see Vancouver vs Toronto in the cup finals. And I want exactly this to happen. Toronto wins game 1 4-0. Toronto wins game 2 3-0. Toronto wins game 3 6-0. Then The Laffs are ahead 7-0 going into the third period of game 4. Petey scores 8 goals in the final 5 minutes of the third, and we win 8-7. Game 5 Toronto is up 3-2 with 9 seconds to go, faceoff in their end. One timer from Boeser, with 0.1 left on the clock, game is tied. Then, Hughes goes on a breakaway 10 seconds into OT and finishes the job - 4-3 OT win. Game 6 - Canucks win 24-0 - hat tricks from Boeser, Horvat, Pettersson, Miller, Ferland, Hughes, Edler, and Eriksson Game 7 goes into quintuple OT tied 0-0. Demko fires the puck down the ice on the PK, and because the ice is terrible at this point in the game, it takes a lucky bounce and finds its way into the back of Toronto's net. Canucks win the series and the Cup, 4 games to 3, in the most epic Toronto choke-job since they lost to Boston in 2013
  17. How could I have ever overlooked those guys? :D Yes I am aware where Geneva is located but thank you for adding a sprinkle of geography into this thread. Can never get too much geography!
