  1. Canucks are lookin' good!

  2. How does Pete feel? I wonder if this factors into his next contract.
  3. Sign Kessel at 2M for 1 year.

      Never been to Chicago and don’t hate it. I just deeply despise the Chicago Blackhawks because of what happened to Kyle Beach. I never liked them to begin with, but that situation really pissed me off. I actually used to feel sorry for the fans when Bill Wirtz owned the team and was happy for them when Rocky took over and made all those changes. Then that scandal came out and undid all the good he did.

      @Citizen Erased Yeah, before the scandal I didn't like them, but I at least had respect for them. That's gone now. Their little dynasty has been tainted forever.

      Ahh yes another winger just what we need right now

  4. Unpopular opinion: Steroids should be legal for all sports. If it’s legal for everyone it’s a level playing field. This would take sports to a whole new level!!

      Meh, I’m totally okay with it. They would have doctors etc monitoring them and giving each player exactly what they need. Sports would be way more entertaining.

      Or just rid of Bettman!!

  6. Yeah that’s my point. It doesn’t seem like we are in a cap crunch atm?
  7. Am I missing something? Doesn’t seem like we are too far away from the cap.
  8. If you could have any d-man in the NHL to partner with Hughes, who would be your pick?

      Current Players. I like Makar. Both know how to play at home and on the offense

    3. -AJ-

      Makar is a great choice too. Excellent in both offense and defense.

  9. I’d rather keep Boeser, get a good seaso a Dun trade for draft picks maybe 2 1st rounders. Rather get Kuz cheaper & he is in the tail end of his career.
  10. The year of the expansion teams

      1967 is already down as the year of expansion teams. The league went from 6 teams to 12.   St. Louis made it the SCF for the next 3 years. The Canucks have been in the league now for 53 years ironically St. Louis won its first cup in their 53 season.

      Makes it easy when all the teams in the West are expansion teams in 1967. You were guaranteed an expansion team in the Stanley Cup Finals until they did a rejig of the divisions.

      There was only 2 teams LA and Oakland in the west     St. Louis  Minnesota Pittsburg and philidaphia were the other additions. Vancouver was considered but Montreal and Toronto balked at sharing CBC tv revenue. Also the wirtz family pushed for St. Louis for reasons?  They also owned the Buffalo rink and associated team which almost beat out the Pittsburg bid. Lester b person was livid at the lack of Canadian teams being allowed entry in 67. 

  11. He will be on LTIR in no time. This is about clearing cap!
  12. People thought I was crazy 2 years ago when I said trade Mcdavid for Vasilevskiy. Now I am saying trade for the best goalie in the league. Edmonton will have multiple cups.

      I would say Leon but I think he is the piece you need in the Playoffs. He steps up when Connor is out. Wayne got traded, so can Connor.

  13. Arizona to Houston next year. Bettman finally made a good decision.

     

     

     

     

    April Fools! He would never allow this. Spittin’ Chiclets got me too!

      I knew this was an April fools joke when I saw the headline.

       

      Having said that, I don’t think it’s impossible Houston gets a team, but it’s more likely through expansion.

  14. They can be true to themselves while supporting others. This is exactly what they said in an interview. They accept others but they are being true to themselves.
  15. How were they being a Bigot? They were following their beliefs? Defnition of Bigot: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. They were not by definition doing this. Name calling is uncalled for. Why can they not be who they are while accepting other just as they said? Its only one way?
  16. I hope everyone just follows their beliefs & supports this at the same time in a way they can stay true to themselves.
  17. Filip Hronek for a 1st. Deal. This guy 2 games in prematurely judging is worth it. I like it.

    1. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      Lol are you saying trade him away?  (Also he cost more than a 1st to acquire, FYI...)

    2. #Canucks

      #Canucks

      No sorry I can see how that could be read in that way. I mean I’d do the deal again.

    3. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      Yeah no worries; he's been good, played more minutes than even Hughes in one of the games from what I heard.  Could always use a stable RHD, which is a commodity.

  18. Ramadan 2023 is here!

    1. Western Red

      Whenever I hear Ramadan, I think of Shareef Abdur Rahim. That was the first time I heard of it. Muslim holiday including fasting during daylight hours right?

    2. Citizen Erased

      You never heard of Muhammad Ali before him, @Western Red?

    3. #Canucks

      #Canucks

      @Western Red Yes. That is one part of it. Fasting from dawn to dusk.

  19. Apples to Oranges. They are both equally valuable in their positions. Take one away and our team looks different. I would argue that Demko is our most valuable piece today.
  20. Demko is proof an all star tender can change a whole team. You need an all star goalie or a hot goalie to win a cup.

      For the most part. There is the very rare occasion. Kuemper was nothing special for the Avs. You don’t have élite goaltending though the odds are very much against you

      @Phil_314100% Murray was great but once everyone figured out his glove was weak, it all fell apart but he got a couple cups early.

      @Phil_314 The Oilers of the 80's say hi!  ;)

      As far as Demko, yes, I like him, and I believe in him - but where was he the first 3 months?  
      If he played then like he is now, we'd would be 1st or 2nd in the division right now.

  21. I agree Bo doesn't seem like the type to create drama in the locker room but maybe he would have been a better Assistant Captain? I don't know but I agree, vibes probably changed for the better? Time will tell.
  22. I feel like some of the players have really stepped up since Horvat left. Maybe there was more to the story. I like Bo a ton. Maybe it was best??
