  1. This Organization has made lots of mistakes this owner, 2 Prez/Gms, and coaches, Smyl, Linden, there is lots of blame to go around. But Bo has over-valued his services, and for the most part his play through a lot of his time here. He signed his last contract one month before the regular season started He never became the game controlling Selke candidate we expected He is/was great on faceoffs Gone are the days when he was considered JToews #2 He brought a balanced outlook, but rarely the fire that this team desperately needs Orland Kurtenbach was here from the start, I'm not sure what start date you are using to say Bo Horvat was here from. Bo was/is a good guy, a good family man, but he rarely if ever had the answer to the problems that the Canucks have faced The team showed too much loyalty to the Sedins, and that is where this downward spiral began
  2. but that is the thing you have only so many spots for small guys we have Quinn, makes Rathbone redundant we have Garland and now Bouvillier, Bedard makes them both redundant or we continue on this Team Smurf adventure we have been on
  3. Canucks Umberger Jim Hargraves one time Canucks Naslund Diduck Bernier Ley other notables Andreychuk Tarasenko MaRCHMENT Barzal T Wilson Secord Mulvey Wells
  4. what, you don't think we trade that 13-18 for a 6-7 defenseman with potential to play top 2 in Van?
  5. the absolute best thing about this trade is it happened before Bo got injured Full marks to Alllvinie for that
  6. are Bouvillier and Raty fast? Raty is ok, but Bouvillier is smaller and more redundant winger than I'd have preferred glad we got that D situation sorted
  7. I too wanted him traded I have been preparing for it for years nothing he has done through the last 2 negotiations said to me that he was a lifer here I think he will flourish when not burdened with the C in Boston
  8. the question now is can the 13-18th and Canucks 1st get you 1st OA? I was watching Hey Burkie earlier today so far, there is no Hey Allvinie
  9. that may well be true but I never saw it as an either/or question until after Miller was signed unnecessarilyhow would the Canucks look right now if they got the same return for Miller? other than being way overstocked at F.. haha cuz D? who needs em?
  10. https://hardbacon.ca/en/richest/the-richest-people-in-british-columbia-their-net-worth-and-how-they-made-their-money/ maybe its Jimmy P's turn I'm sure we need another Jim in management
  11. they are pretty much in `13th right now 1 point up on 13th with Nashville having 4 games in hand basically the Isle are protected from any fall interesting that they couldn't pry a defenseman away from one of the deepest Ds in the league rookie GM doing rookie GM things I guess Maybe a defenseman will fall from the sky right onto our top pairing
  12. I think there will always be a struggle between the "Money" and the "Not Money" currently would say that the "Money" is winning the backlash will be the re-rise of the union how are the things you are describing different from the struggles of Ginger Goodwin, et al? after the WW2 came the rise of unions and the middle class. Unions did not start then, they started in the dirty 30s As a casual observer of history, I wonder if the 30s are a regular occurrence? it seems from where I sit, that the 2030s might look a lot like the 1930s
  13. all good points re: your wife, there comes a point where she becomes an "independent contractor". An independent contractor uses their own tools for the job, that is the difference from being an employee. It she is using her own apparatus she is crossing that line. I am sure this will and should come up in court/gov't regulations. There are tax breaks as well as regulations for these situation. Now your sister is a different situation, my Lovely GF works in the BC Min Health, there is mounting pressure for people to return to the office because there is not proof that the job is better performed by remote staff. There is a belief that more can be accomplished with "In Person" staff. There is value in looking in a co-workers eye, and having a conversation in person. The measure of that has not been defined as of yet. As fans of a team sport, we recognize the value of "The Room", but in the business world that has not ever been an issue until COVID came about. I believe living in a different city than the one one works in is a choice, a choice with consequences. last line: I think you mean "employers..." and if you do, then I completely agree, and as I said above, there will need to be court/gov't involved regulation. Some of this is corporate, (your wife) and some is gov't itself, as seen by your sister and my GF. I believe there is the need for some give-and-take. Taken to the nth degree, is it fair to expect to be paid from the moment you rise in the morning, until you slip off your shoes upon your return home?
  14. that was are from before the Aqua years and it was made into a cartoon
  15. I've said this before, but I was talking about players Vancouver is a retirement destination in the NHL now it seems to have moved onto being a retirement destination for managers/brass as well
  16. you are correct probably more of a "made for TV" movie than a big budget block buster here is the starting line up https://www.google.com/search?q=corner+gas+cast&oq=corner+gass&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j46i10i131i433i512j0i10i131i433i512j46i10i131i433i512j0i10i512l4j46i10i512.8625j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 I mean cast there is already a Hank and Burrows.. it s meant to be
  17. Kuz is not the best example though, its not like he has been around and knows a lot about the league He does not have the experience from being with another team his only comparative would be his KHL team If he had gotten injured like Tanner Pearson, he might feel differently
