Amazing that the usual negative suspects in pgt’s seeem to think the media answers are all he talks about in the room. So much for a knowledgable fanbase...
Exactly, for all we know he ripped them a new one in the dressing room, you don't run to the media with that, it stays in the room

Nah man, you can't blame that on Green. I think that Roussell got tagged for a lot of penalties earlier this year and had to step his aggression down a lot. NHL isn't what it used to be, but we're getting to that time of the year when the whistles will be put away. Hopefully he gets back to his old self
For sure, Shorty and Garrett commented on quite a few of his penalties earlier this year as being reputation penalties

He'd be a big help in games like these.
If we make the playoffs, all the games will be like this one and even worst/tougher for our skilled players.
okay, but what about the next 20 games, the guy only shows up once in a blue moon, one game does not make a season

Well Benning had a big hand in constructing the Bruins. (edit) So I'm confident that our team toughness will be addressed this off season.
It's really too bad that the Ferland signing was a big swing and a miss. It's also too bad that Loui didn't want to waive his no trade clause to go to Edmonton, as Lucic would've been a big upgrade for this team.
Can anyone compile the record of the Canucks with and without Motte?
c'mon seriously how much of an upgrade would he be, once every 25 games or so, no different than Loui and we would be stuck with the guy for an extra year

You can tell the ‘turtle’ chirps really got to him though he was ready to throw down in the next rematch
I have to wonder how much watching his little brother not turtleing against Subban the night before played into that lol

Linden didn't scrap.
Henrik didn't scrap.
Just because he can doesn't mean he should be expected to all the time.
The old adage: You can't score from the penalty box.
He doesn't have to fight but it would be nice to see him throw his weight around a bit, he's a big boy it would be nice to see him staple someone to the boards instead of peeling off

Oh geez...put the Sedins last home game in there. Attended with my son...was much more than a hockey game, it was a very special celebration like no other.
Reading others' picks I think we should change this to top 500.
You are so right Deb, I just picked the first five that came to mind, but now that I'm actually putting some thought into it there are so so many.

1) Kirk Mclean getting a standing ovation at the Montreal Forum after being named first start. (I still think to this day that he should have won the Vezina that year)
2) Gino Odjick scoring on a penalty shot on Mike Vernon and his celley afterwards
3) Greg Adams scoring in the second overtime against the Leafs to send the Canucks to the '94 finals
4) Henrik scoring on Roberto Luongo for his 1000th point
5) The class the Oilers fans showed the Sedins in their final game
I could go on and on, been watching this team since day one, there have been so many for me but those were the first 5 that jumped out for me.
I'll throw in an honorable mention, Falling asleep listening to Jim Robsons voice as a kid, never could make it through the 3rd before passing out

He wasn’t bad tonight.
He was great on the 5 on 3 and had a big block. Could have been a huge blowout if not for that kill.
People are too hard on him. He was definitely not the reason we lost.
I agree, I don't understand some peoples hate for him, I guess people just look at his size and expect him to be Pronger, but that's not his game, it's his mobility and he's very good at it, he's a huge upgrade over Pouliot or Hutton.

The refs did them a favour. They did not want to embarrass the Nucks anymore as they were out chanced by the P.K. all night king. Lol
No kidding, they sure looked tired, still though there was some brutal non call

Pretty hard to win when it's 9 skaters on 5, that was some brutal officiating, maybe we'll see some line up changes next game in Minny

... I just like the idea of getting something for Tanev now.. this is not dis similar to the Hamhuis situation,. Tanev could theoretically return for the right numbers.. and we would get to possibly see OJ Rafferty Breisbois and others in the meantime.
This is very different from the Hamhuis situation, we are sitting in first in the division in control of our own destiny as far as the playoffs go, back when we tried to trade Hamhuis we were out of the playoff race, I think Tanevs experience and what he would bring for the young players would far out way a 2nd 3rd or 4th round draft pick who may or may not ever see an NHL game 3 years down the road.
Guess I should have read the post above, pretty much says the same thing

My guad some of the posts that I've been reading on hear lately, it's unbelievable, here we are, the hottest team in the league, sitting second in the conference, 1st in the division and some of you whining about what? Alf going on about how horrible the coach is? Do you want Willy D back or something, I'm pretty sure you don't, Bree in earlier threads going on about Jake being on the first line? He earned it, and looked really good on the first line and Arrow, I don't even know what to say about the stuff your spewing, just unbelievable, childish, I don't think you have a clue about the game and don't even bother responding because I will not engage with your garbage. I really think you guys have forgotten what we have had to put up with the last few years, just enjoy the ride.

The Punjabi commentators are really passionate.
I have no idea what they are saying other than the players names and Old Time Hockey! but that was awesome, way better than Debrusk and Randorf

But at some point Canucks needs to let new players play to show what they can bring to the table. I wonder when it will be a good time to do so.
That's more something you do when your out of the playoffs, when your in the position the Canucks are in you go with what you know.

That's right BRIAN BURKE!! Eat it.
Since Brian Burke made that statement he has had nothing but high praise for Quinn, even saying Quinn Hughes is his pick for the Calder

I agree that trading the best player in a trade is usually the wrong move. Especially now when we have too many nhl level players. If we were ever in a position to add quality from quantity it would be now.
But I disagree that Canuck fans are spoiled. If anything Canuck fans are still shell shocked from the Cam Neely trade. Which is really sad because it was so long ago and good trades have happened since.
Fans remember the Neely trade but forget the Butcher/Quinn for Ronning, Courtnall, Momesso and Dirk trade And Sumdstrom for McLean and Adams, Corrie D'Alessio for Kay Whitmore ( Pat Quinn's vesion of filling the age gap). Trades from a time when it was neccesary to trade for volume because the cupboards were more bare than when Jim got here. Or Lumme for a 2nd (another Age gap move, but successful.)Lumme played 900 NHL games after the trade to Vancouver.
If we were spoiled it was during the Pat Quinn era.
If you want to look for current trades, Galchenyuk for Domi and Sergasev for Drouin are a couple of examples or quality and similar age players going in both direction.
I do not understand why so many fans like you view all trades to be DUMPS.
Those were two trade that laid the foundation for the Canucks '94 run, I don't think fans from that era will forget those trades, but I do agree with you I think we got pretty spoiled by some of the moves The Mighty Quinn made.

The top of your list. LE doesn’t count as a second line winger. Pearson contract expires in 2 years. Virtanen has had a nice stretch but not proven
He is progressing, every year he has put up better numbers than the year before and this year his over all game is much better than previous years.

Yeah, Green and JB seems to be challenging him to evolve his game.
I think there is more to it than just that, Green rewarding Jake for his strong play of late and trying to create 3 potential scoring lines probably has a lot to do with the move

I think the idea came from an article in some sport’s journal, “The Athletic”.
There were a bunch of trade ideas, and the comments by NHL execs (off the record) on which team says no. The NHL exec said the Canucks say no to Bess for Dumba, and the morning guys talked about why.
I agree there is zero chance JB trades Bess.
That could very well be where it all started.

Yup. The morning guys were discussing this. They said the trade idea was floated by an NHL exec (not on either team) and he said the Canucks would say no to this trade, because Bess has more value than Dumba
The morning guys said the idea came from fans texting them, emailing them, from reddit and hfboards, it was not there idea, controversy gets ratings, heck it made me listen through 15 minutes of commercials just to hear what the NHL exec had to say, unless it's a deal that blows JB's socks off I just don't see it happening

Hey this is a Canucks board, what are you doing praising players from other teams
