  1. Random question:

    Gas or Electric snowblower?

    I'm getting one soon, but which one?  4-5 car driveway size. Live in the interior of BC.

      This morning I ordered the Greenworks Electric 2 stage snowblower from Costco - it's cheaper there than from Greenworks own website on sale lol.

      I already have their mower so I have a few batteries and have been very satisfied with that unit - hopefully the snow machine will work as well.  Either way, being from Costco, if it doesn't perform, it'll go back and I'll get a gas powered unit.

      Thanks Ghost,

      I'm deciding b/t a 2-stage gas vs. a 2-stage electric battery powered unit. 

      I've read that gas units are powerful, but noisy and a hassle with gas/oil/maintenance while electric are virtually maintenance-free but may or may not be able to handle large volumes - especially if it's wet. 

       

      Looking for any first-hand user experience, especially anyone who owns an electric since that's the way I'm leaning right now. 

       

      Appreciate any relevant feedback.

  3. These NESN Bruins announcers are SO awful...this TB/Bos game is only watchable w/o audio sadly.

      I really want to watch this Bos/Car game in a few minutes but I don't think I can handle those NESN commentators....sad....

  4. Hope you're proud of yourself JR, that was one of the most classless debacles in franchise history.   Sad part, the books not closed on this wasted season.

      Good point, I think we should all be somewhat concerned.  Other than signing Kuz, can anyone list a meaningful move this management has made?

  5. Lots of injuries to key guys on contending teams right now.

    Got to think a GM might want to get a jump on the trade market and get things rolling.....

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I hear you Dazzle, I was only half-heartedly thinking it might be our own GM who was involved in getting the trade-ball rolling so to speak.  I'm giving this management group even odds as to whether they do something big, or absolutely nothing meaningful - sad as that is.

  6. What are people's thoughts on RHD Sandin-Pellikka? 

     

    We're currently sitting in a draft position at just about his predicted final ranking?  Or Willander - he's ranked lower but fills organizational need.

  7. CDC seems to have selective hatred for other teams and players.  Alf hates all non Canucks.  Who joins Alf (one eye) in proper hatred?  spacer.png

      You're not alone Alf - I hate every other team in the NHL, and I'm not afraid to admit that.

  8. Why do Veterans wait in the cold for 'dignitaries' to arrive during Remembrance Day ceremonies?  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      Absolutely asinine that 80, 90 year old veterans are waiting around in the cold in wheelchairs while Trudeau's wife and teenage son arrive in a limo, go through some motions and then leave in a limo.

  9. With 98,051 members on CDC, if we all threw in a mere $15,000 (approx.) each, we could buy the Canucks and run the team democratically.

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      Why spend 15k each when we could just spend a couple grand each and own the Coyotes?  Surely there'd be more potential ROI in that scenario lol.......

  10. I feel like we haven't seen the last of Alex Chaisson. It definitely wouldn't be the first time he went the PTO route.

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      At the very least, if he doesn't sign elsewhere in the NHL, Johnson should be looking to sign this guy to Abbotsford.  He would provide great veteran leadership.

  11. Ever come across symptoms for a terrible medical condition - then realize you seemingly have all of them?

      Thanks Vinny, appreciate the perspective. 

       

      I understand where the jokes are coming from,  but I can assure people I'm not the worrying type whatsoever.   I so rarely see the Dr that my family Dr actually dropped me as a patient (but I convinced him to see me again).  Bottom line my Dr said I definitely did the right thing in making an appointment- we're doing a battery of testing to, as you said Vinny, rule things out....

  12. Just noticed TSN put both WJC semi-final games on their 4/5 channel.  Probably because there aren't any Laffs prospects on Team Canada. 

    1. Fanuck

      I guess airing 2 teams fighting it out for last place in the CFL instead of WJC will increase ratings lol.....^_^

  13. why haven't the canucks signed Aston-Reese yet let's go

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      Would like to see management extended PTO's to two guys: Stone and ZAR.

       

      I think Michael Stone would be the perfect partner for OEL and would likely sign for nearly league min.

       

      A 4th line of Joshua/Lazar/ZAR would be tenacious!

  14. Just traveled across the country via Air Canada.  Was it a smooth experience,  no - but we got our luggage so I'm thankful for that.

      ^ That was a disturbing story, I remember hearing that and wondering how that happened and nobody did anything about it?

      No, well, yes there was plenty of that, but the issues were multiple delays with the stress of not knowing if we'd make our connecting flights???

  16. Nicolas Roy should be our #1 target once free agency opens imho. Young, big, right shot center fits our need for a shut down 3C perfectly. 

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I don't know Roy's contract situation (his QO and how that fits Vegas' cap) but one guy I'd look seriously at is Nick Paul.  Seems like he'd come in at a lower AAV than a guy like Roy but provide similar value on-ice. 

       

      I keep hearing Manson's name being brought up, but like everyone else I just watched the Avs sweep the Coil, and witnessed Manson get absolutely exposed defensively throughout that series which makes me re-think that idea.

  17. I'm still giddy from yesterday's game. That was a spectacular way to watch the Oilers get eliminated. :lol:

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I'm having a difficult time deciding what would've been more heartbreaking for their fans - sweep or being eliminated in 7.  Sweep is a bit of a slap in the face whereas out in 7 probably many of them would've thought they had a chance.

  18. Anyone smell a battle of Alberta brewing next round? That’d be something 

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      Would quite enjoy both teams kicking the you know what out of each other for 7 games only for one to get destroyed by the run away freight train that are the Avs.

  19. Who are some realistic d targets the Canucks can acquire?

     

    Looking at a guy like Justin Schultz.

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I would consider doing a sign/trade involving Boeser to NJ for Mukhamudullin (or maybe even Ball plus a pick).  Rumor was that there was interest from NJ for one of our wingers (Boeser/Garland) at some point.  Hockey trade that benefits both clubs and not ridiculous on the value which most proposals are on CDC.  I know for sure that Shakir and Podz were on at least two Russian National teams together (Zlodeyev may have been teammates as well but I can't remember that clearly) as they came up through the ranks and that couldn't hurt for them to have at least one comrade on the team:).

  22. Should the NHL implement a max cap hit for the layoffs

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      Cap limit in PO isn't the answer,  it's widely speculated that the NHL is aware that some teams are 'manipulating' LTIR and are actively investigating ways to address this concern,  understanding that the owners/players themselves would be the ones to ratify any CBA changes. One proposed CBA change is that any player not activated during the regular season at least 'x' amount of time before the last regular season game automatically becomes ineligible for the 1st round of PO.  If this or some iteration of this idea was accepted it might help, but still won't solve the LTIR issue totally.

  23. Rutherford in COVID protocol.  Not good timing unfortunately. 

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      I mean first of all I hope he makes a full recovery - he has to be somewhat 'at risk' simply because of age.  For some reason or other,  right or wrong,  I just envisioned him and Allvin making any meaningful decisions together,  at least this time around, and Allvin gradually taking over altogether at a later time.

      For arguments sake then JM, why isn't our window now then?  We have Demko.

  25. Do the Rangers make a big move for Miller today? 

    1. Fanuck

      Fanuck

      In my view the 'aging out' factor is negligible for a team in 'win now' mode - you get the guy you need right now and worry about the details a bit down the road, but a very real concern for a team like us who likely won't be in our 'window' for 2-3 years.  That's one of the biggest reasons I feel we should be sellers this season.
