  1. I think it was said right after Bo had said, "Happy wife, happy life" Is Bo married to his own daughter, er son?
  2. that is all well and good, but it has nothing to do with the argument the previous poster was trying to make a picture of a guy and his kid means nothing regarding his desire to stay here If you aske d him, "JT, were you thinking about signing in Vancouver when that picture was taken?" he'd probably give you the alien death stare
  3. looks like a guy getting his picture taken on his daughter's birthday doesn't say anything one way or the other about his thoughts on staying in Vancouver "Yes Ma'am" says more
  4. blame th5e Ottawa loss on Aqua the dude is short sighted revenue for 2 playoff games lost for one regular season game oh, and the rushed rebuild
  5. Maybe someone should start a campaign to tell folks that SMOKING IS BAD
  6. because he is an unsigned RFA with a $7.5 M QO You remember how people like the Miller deal because he came with 4 years of cost certainty? Boeser is not like that Who on the Canucks would you trade for Brock, if he were on Chicago or Vegas
  7. Although, it would have been awesome if the Larcheiders were chanting while he was beating up Fat Benny save the chant for when he is fighting or when the hittie is having trouble getting back to his feet
  8. thanks I thought it was that I remember the play when he looked like he was fishing inside his net then was shaking his hand/wrist
  9. what happened to Halak last game?
  10. I like Adam not so sure about the whiners filling this thread or the people who booed Ol Gaudner they deserved the celly I was hoping he'd pull the Superman
  11. what ever happened to Tucky Poo? still out with migraines? Migraine suck, but seems like another JB damaged good purchase
  12. I think it should be the Luke of Earl song sung to the tune of Duke of Earl Gene Chandler - Duke of Earl (1962) - Bing video
  13. Well, #1 Motte is injured again #2 BO is also injured and Richardson is a canter # 3 RIchardson is scoring at .27 ppg while Motte scored at .3 ppg in Van this year but Richardson is winning face offs at 56% I think I am good with Old Man Ricky
  14. I don't see Lammikko getting 2C ice before Pettersson, Dries, Petan or even Richardson He probably does get 2C before Dickie or Burroughs
  15. 2015 -21 players drafted after Brisbois have played 100+ NHL games 2016 JUolevi and Lockwood, no 2nd or 4th all players selected except Lockwood were from the CHL 2017 Pettersson from Sweden two seconds and a 3rd from CHL, Rathbone U.S. HS then college (I guess we'll see how his development goes), Sweden and 2 more CHL guys after 2017 very few CHL players drafted like you said but things aren't looking great for Lind, Gadj, DePietro, Woo, Stukel, Palmu, Juolevi those are the guys that went through the system for at least a few games
  16. If that is the attitude, we probably should never make trades or sign free agents I don't play the trade proposal game because I really do think the pro have, or should have, a leg up on me because they get personal contact with the players involved But I am pretty open about what I think they should not do, because from where I sit , behind my keyboard/tv set I can see the repeated mistakes of bad contracts or assumptions, that players will progress without much reason behind other than hope trades need to be made, and the scouting staff has a job to do in deciding who is going to progress, and how far and when Its not my job, but it is theirs
  17. and development this team still has a poor development record 1 year for Lockwood is great but where are the Sautners and Brisbois? Getting out played by Bowey and Juulsen
  18. moving Miller would increase depth on this team we would lose high end skill, at least in the short term they are not going to trade Miller for just pick trading Boeser and Garland for w quality RHD would cost us depth trading picks for vet would increase depth in the short term and cost depth in the future in a trade involving Miller I would expect something like: a 19 year old Miller a 23 year old Beagle a 22 year old Seabrook a 1st or 2 second round picks
  19. he is reminding me of Pearson not the fastest but strong, strong on the boards and strong on the puck doesn't lose many puck battles
  20. .Do you know the old Pete Seeger song Turn Turn Turn? its a pretty good handbook for life you might be in the 'time for hate', judging by the tone of your response while I am probably in the 'time to cast away stones' that is something that I suck at and so I am perpetually there Turn Turn Turn is also a good booklet for a hockey GM there is so much there that is relevant for the running of a hockey team 'a time to plant, a time to reap' 'a time to build up, a time to break down' 'a time to cast away stones' 'a time to gather stones together' 'a time to gain, a time to lose' 'a time to rend, a time to sew' all good lessons for a GM, or a regular person funny though that it does not say, "a time for a quick turn around, a time for a fast retool' in fact it kind of says the opposite in a nutshell the song is about finishing one task before starting another Old Jim really seemed to have difficulty with that Many fans do, also here is the song, and the words are below .. Lyrics To everything turn, turn, turn There is a season turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything turn, turn, turn There is a season turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones A time to gather stones together To everything turn, turn, turn There is a season turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracing To everything turn, turn, turn There is a season turn, turn, turn And a time to every purpose under heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late And since you think you understand me, I'll tell you about me I don't hate OEL, although I think trading for him was a bad idea I don't hate Myers, and I am not sure why he was brought into this conversation I don't hate Miller, in fact I like him a lot however I think the Miller trade happened at the wrong time for this team Had JB done a better job in "the time to build up" 2014-2019, the Miller trade would have been in "the time to reap" unfortunately squandered picks from 2014-19 meant Miller arrived when the Canucks were not yet in "the time to reap" And back to OEL, I think when it is "A time to Dance" for the rest of the club OEL, because of his age, hard minutes and the number of hits he regularly incurs, will cause us "a time to weep"
