[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Seattle Kraken | Jan. 01, 2022
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If JR can make a favourable blockbuster trade at the TDL for him, it may be worth it, especially if it'll help with our playoff push/actual playoffs. I'd give him to the TDL to prove that he's worth at least a fraction of his nearly $8 million. Barring that, he's pretty much a useless plug to us at this point. -

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Anaheim Ducks | Dec. 29, 2021
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Quinn Hughes, ILY Fast becoming my favourite Canuck of all time. Anyways, 9-1-0 and 7 straight. Don't think anyone can say this team isn't a Stanley Cup contender anymore. GCG! -
SICK AND TIRED OF THE DEFEATISM. I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL CANUCKS FANS HERE??? POSTS LIKE WE DON'T DESERVE THE TWO POINTS OR I'D BE HAPPY WITH 1 POINT WHEN WE WERE STILL UP BY 1 GOAL. IT'S TRULY DISGRACEFUL. I WAS RIDING MY EXERCISE BIKE AND COULDN'T GET OFF TO POST THIS UNTIL THE CANUCKS SCORED THE 4-2 GOAL. SO IT MAY SEEM A BIT LATE TO BE POSTING THIS BUT EXERCISE COMES FIRST. ALSO, WHY DOES EVERY WIN HAVE TO BE 110% PERFECT OR ELSE WE GET POSTS LIKE 'BE LUCKY TO GET A POINT". I STAND BY THE BOYS AND WISH YOU ALL HERE WOULD START BELIEVING IN THEM ALSO. BELIEVE. GO CANUCKS GO!! 5-2 NOW!! SEE, THOSE POSTS ABOUT MAYBE NOT EVEN GETTING A POINT WERE LITERALLY INSANE. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? 5-2 NOW!! BELIEVE IN GREEN (THE COLOUR OF THE NUCKS), BRUCE THERE IT IS, AND THE POWER OF THE ORCA FOREVER!! P.S.: THIS IS LIKE THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME, DAN MURPHY AND SATIAR SHAH HAVE RUN THE CANUCKS RIGHT DOWN INTO THE GUTTER. THEY TOO HAVE TO DECIDE IF THEY ARE FANS AND BELIEVE OR IF THEY ARE HERETICS!

Do you believe?!!! There's no way but up.

Would you say our path to the playoffs (which I am about 90% sure we will be in) is through the wildcard or through the top 3 in the Pacific? Hard to say, isn't it? -
[PGT] Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 08, 2021
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
He truly is a godsend. Maybe in the top 3 of the best things to ever happen to the Canucks and their fans. Went from deleting all my Canucks podcasts and avatars on Saturday after the Pens debacle to 110% all in, in large part due to BB! -
[PGT] Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 08, 2021
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Speaking of the Oilers, I was over at HF Oilers last night. They are all freaking out. Calling for the goalie's contract to be terminated and the head coach to be fired. They're predicting the Oilers are headed towards a spiral that may cost them a playoff spot. Good times. Kept a smile on my face all night and into the day today. Hope they're right. I've noticed something. The Oiler's bad luck is our good luck. Would love nothing more for the Canucks to pass the Oilers in the standings and into a playoff spot, as they crash into the basement!! -

ON THE SPORTSNET POST-GAME DURING SPORTSNET CENTRAL, THE SPORTSNET ANALYST SAID IN THE PANEL'S POST-GAME DISCUSSION THAT IF THE CANUCKS KEEP PLAYING LIKE THIS, WE WILL PROBABLY SQUEAK INTO THE PLAYOFFS. DIRECT QUOTE!! ANALYSTS LIKE HIM AND DAVID AMBER BELIEVE IN OUR PLAYOFF CHANCES. SO SHOULD WE ALL. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, BABY! GCG! ALSO, MILLER IS THE HEART AND HORVAT IS THE SOUL OF THIS TEAM! -
[PGT] Winnipeg Jets at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 19, 2021
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Big win against the Jets tonight. Just 5 points out of a playoff spot now!! Worth mentioning that we went something like 9-3 before the COVID catastrophe. So, this team definitely has it in them to put that kind of streak together. The Hawks game will tell the tale. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Seattle Kraken | Oct. 23, 2021
CanucksFan8353 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Arguably one of the biggest wins in Franchise history last night. Winning against a highly vaunted team in their franchise opener no less. Definitely a massive statement game against all the so-called experts calling Seattle to be a better team than us this year. Haven't been this stoked about a win since we took over first in the Pacific in January 2020! Expecting awesome things on our 7-game home stand now! -
Can anyone beat the Oilers for the Cup?
CanucksFan8353 replied to CanucksFan8353's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Forgot about the Isles. I worry TB's luck may have run out but the Isles definitely have a strong team and have been knocking on the door at the threshold of the promised land for a couple seasons so they may be due. I also think it may come down to us to stop them the way we stopped Calgary in '94 or Calgary stopped us in '04 on the way to the SCF. Interestingly enough, we may be the antidote to the Oilers. Just a superstitious feeling I have. -
Can anyone beat the Oilers for the Cup?
CanucksFan8353 replied to CanucksFan8353's topic in General Hockey Discussion
As an aside, McDavid isn't fit to be in even the same league as Sidney Crosby. 87 is a true class act. McDavid isn't fit to polish Sid's shoes. I don't care about his stats. -
I'm posting this because I really expected the Knights to easily dispatch the Oilers tonight but with the Oilers just running over a team as strong as the Knights at home nonetheless, along with McDavid scoring his 200th career goal already, plus Koskinen and Smith both playing out of their minds, I'm starting to wonder if anyone can stop their juggernaut? I know it's extremely early but they look like they may go on a major undefeated in regulation run or something. I wasn't old enough to follow their 80s cup wins and didn't really care at the age of 7 that they won it in 1990. Is this how good they were back in the 80s, or are they playing even better? If not, what teams should I expect the Oilers not to be able to handle? TBL, FL, STL, CO, come to mind. We also play them extremely close and tight. Any other teams in your view? I also can very easily see a Canucks-Oilers division final this year and it'd be nice going into it thinking that we had a prayer. If any Canadian team has to win the cup beside Vancouver, this is the absolute worst-case scenario for me. I don't care that they have the vaunted McDavid. He's a little prick, in my eyes. Not a fan of his or the Neanderthal Draisatl either for that matter.

Can't complain, can't complain at allabout being 3rd in the Pacific Division. Just about exactly where I realistically hoped to be in the standings early on! On another note, what's up with our captain? I've never seen him lose his cool like that ever, at least not since early 2019 when I started following this team religiously again. It was speculated he's hurt? Maybe something to do with missing Gunnar and Holly? That doesn't really make sense though. He was a bit cranky last game against Buffalo too, seen swearing on camera.

[GDT/PGT] Preseason Oilers @ Canucks / Oct. 9 / 6:00 PM Rogers Arena
CanucksFan8353 replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Until we have Hamonic, Sutter, Motte and Boesser back, expect a lot more losses. We can't win games without those 4. Their absence is fundamentally why we are struggling. -
Did BB skate, today, or is he planning to? TG said yesterday it was quite possible, but up in the air.

Not sure why I am only just now getting around to posting this. Anyways, listened to the 40/43 presser this afternoon. Are there any more classier young men than Mr. Elias Petterson and Mr. Quinn Hughes? Also, 43 really is Huggy Bear!! Horvat was my favourite player but he now has stiff competition. We are so lucky to be able to build the team around these studs. It was clear to me that they intend to bring 110% to the team this year. So glad that the contract nightmare is over and we can be one big happy family again. Also, was thrilled to hear about how excited they are about what the team is looking like this year. SO READY to FINALLY win a Stanley Cup!

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
CanucksFan8353 replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Good point. That does make much more sense. I heard last night that the flights to Vancouver from Detroit don't arrive until 4. So, it wouldn't really be that kind to rush them to a press conference at like 5:30 or 6 after a day of travel. Also, just read that Travis Green was huge in getting these deals done. He's a Castlegar boy, nearby me. So good on him for helping to get us here!! -
Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
CanucksFan8353 replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
So, Shah is hearing that there may be a snag with Petterson. Says it's definitely not Hughes but he can't get a handle on Petterson's status. Not necessarily a problem with Petterson but there may well be. Perhaps, EP is balking at something, which seems to be that guy's MO. -
Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
CanucksFan8353 replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Best news of the year!! Things looking up, baby!! Now, I can truly believe in my team again. Can't believe that this news came tonight. Was expecting a Nylander-style holdout. Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Also, Mr. Quinn Hughes will be worth every penny of his contact. I guarantee it! So, glad that he can be my co-favourite player again along with Horvat, the 2 H's. He's Huggy Bear right? Of course, we want him locked up for 6 years! I was wrong. He doesn't want to go to NJ to be with his bros. He wants to bring Luke and Jack here eventually to be the first 3-bro trio to win multiple cups! As far as my questioning of Elias, still not sure what to make of his attitude, but thrilled with him for signing this deal and the team can show him he made the right call!! Really wanted these done stat because I know that with how weak the other teams in the Pacific are this year, we can easily take it this year as long as we keep our own house in order! I truly agree with Alflives now that cups are in our future. Fantastic!!! Again, once more, let's gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! -

December 1 is the real deadline here (see Nylander). I wouldn't expect any action until after American Thanksgiving. -
Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
CanucksFan8353 replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
Looking more and more unlikely that we can reach a deal to re-sign these guys. Check out Darren Dreger's tweets, one of the best. Far apart. Dreger also directly contradicts JB's assertions from this morning. I also strongly suspect that neither one of them really wants to be a Canuck, at least at a reasonable price.
