  1. It seems there are many here in this very forum that know how to run this team & might be available pretty quickly.
  2. I was there. Picture it: January 15, 1998 Canucks @ Sabres (Nucks lost 2-6)
  3. I actually think BB is playing well. He's had some quality chances, just hasn't hit the back of the net on them. Agreed that Petey looks really clumsy out there. I have no doubt he'll be ok. Defense looked pretty good last night after the 1st. Overall, I think we have a serious puck control issue. A lot of turnovers in both ends. Not being able to set up in the offensive end. Not being able to clear in our own end. Reluctancy to shoot the puck or too busy looking for the perfect pass to shoot... I've found myself yelling "SHOOT THE PUCK!" too many times this season.
  4. TG said earlier today that Halak is starting tonight.
  5. I've been a Canucks fan for a very long time. I live in NY (state, not city) & became a Canucks fan in the early 90's when Bure started playing in VAN. He was such an amazing talent & great fun to watch. Naturally, I became a fan of the team & have been since. I watched the '94 finals surrounded by friends/family that were Rangers fans. In 2011, I relived that excitement of my team getting to game 7 of the SCF & I watched them get shut out on home ice. Between 1990 & 2011, a span of 21 years, the Canucks did not make the playoffs 6 times. Since 2011, a span of 10 years, they've not made the playoffs 6 times as well... all 6 of those DNQ's have been in the past 8 seasons. In the bubble playoffs 2 years ago, we saw a team that got us excited about the future when they made it to game 7 of 2nd round. Then last year happened & the disappointment of a lackluster team for 8 years wore us down. The moves made during the offseason are a result of a team trying to rebuild. Mistakes have been made in those moves, but, IMO, some really good ones have been made as well. Then, BB was out a few games, Hamonic has been a mystery, Motte on IR, Sutter on LTIR, EP40 has had a slow start, defense has been sloppy.... the list goes on & on. There is a crap ton of expectation of this very young team because it has a crap ton of talent. Thus, every L or OT is a disappointment and open for critique. It's very early in the season. There's plenty of time to improve, but this is a team that is rebuilding. In a couple of years, we could be contenders.
  6. 5-3 Canucks BB with the winner EP with the opener
  7. 4-2 VAN Pearson GWG Lammikko1st goal @ForzaTikare Friendly helper... Boeser can't have the GWG if you're picking SEA to win.
  8. 4-2 Canucks Rathbone GWG (gotta get that one back from last game)
  9. Burrows was the hardest working player on the ice last night. Period.
