  1. True. That's another good thing about this trade it's a mid instead of late and if the isles crap the bed this year and next year could be a lottery pick in 24
  2. That trade was huge for the Canucks. Bertuzzi and McCabe, then McCabe was part of the trade for the pick that drafted one of the Sedins (we had the other pick) Also Pavel Bure turned into Ed Jovanovski and it hurt to lose our best 2 players but Linden eventually came back and Bure, unfortunately, had his career cut short by injuries. So trading those 2 turned into integral parts of the WCE Era and Sedin wonder twin 2011 Era because Bertuzzi turned into Luongo. Big trades is how you progress, they don't always work but you don't know unless you try.
  3. Rest in Peace Golden Jet. Social media has created a culture where too many people know and share too many opinions with too many people. Who cares about his political views. RIP
  4. Goalies historically don't get good hauls. Schneider got us a top 10 pick. That's it, one piece. We are lucky Horvat worked out because draft picks are a gamble. Go look at the return Montreal received for a prime Patrick Roy. Demko is more valuable on the Canucks than the return he would garner, imo.
  5. Yes I do. We finally have Stanley cup pedigree in our front office. Rome wasn't built in a day, be patient.
  6. Miller's gonna have a bounce back season next year and a lot of you will be eating crow
  7. This is tabloid fodder. Rutherford isn't afraid to make tough decisions and doesn't care who he pisses off in the process. That's good, no moves being swayed by the media.
  8. Demko stays. Goalies have nothing to do with chemistry or a winning formula. They are on their own, we have seen what a season without Demko looks like
  9. He's crying ? I just thought he was noticeable uncomfortable and has poor English. Not a very good interview
  10. Ilya obviously didn't realize how serious it was and thought it would heal up on its own. People play hurt all the time. Now the tank is on.
  11. I'm sorry to hear about that, that project should have had an arborist on site due to the proximity to trees and root systems. You probably would be able to make a claim but I understand that's a pain in the ass. There's a lot of shitty contractors out there
  12. 4 apples for Bo. This is a win win, he either keeps getting better and they find a way to clear cap and re sign him.... or hes boosting his trade value.
  13. Most fiber lines are not run on private land . I work in civil construction, people lose trees and planters and retaining walls and parts of their driveway all the time but the reality is that it's not actually their property. Most property lines are 2 to 3 meters from the curb.
  14. I switched to telus optik TV a couple years ago and don't regret it. Way better than shaw blue sky. And faster internet and cheaper bills with more channels
  15. Right? All those points and goals in the clutch and grab dead puck era. And half the time he looked like he was barely trying. Just pure talent and faster than McDavid.
  16. They don't love to hate us. They read the fanbase, same thing with our media. Look at the posts you see here, knee jerks, lots of em. Look at Canucks fb, Twitter, reddit, hf boards etc. We are crazy and they say things to accumulate traffic. For example, Friedman saying that Canucks may dangle Demko... I guarantee you Demko isn't getting traded, how many times has JR called Demko an "all star goalie" and remember JR was a goalie. That's high praise coming from a former NHL goalie. Also JR tells it like it is. We have been spoiled here since we traded Bertuzzi for Luongo in the goalie dept. Even in the dark Benning days We still had Ryan Miller and Jacob Markstrom before Demko took over. Demko gets injured this season and our backups shit the bed and all of a sudden Demko is Trade bait? It is not easy to find good goaltending in this league, so many teams struggle with it. Demko isn't going anywhere. Shut up Elliot.
  17. To the people saying they would rather a 1st then a 30 goal scoring kuz. Look at the list of Canucks first round picks outside of the top 10 in the last 20 years... hell look at all the picks besides petey Hughes and horvat This is a great move and contract by management
