  1. Where would you like them to go next? I know a few people... the same people that started the Wild Rose. I'll pass on any suggestions you have? Which specialization? I've been on the island for nearly 20 years as an EE. LGBTQ is not, and should not be the "main" agenda for any election when so many are suffering just finding a job. Hey, I'm all for human rights, but we should all take a step back and recognize that those attacks in this election were orchestrated by the NDP and promoted as a tactic to win votes away from UCP. That's social media at work interfering in an elections as far as I'm concerned.
  2. This is completely ridiculous! I feel it started with the death stare asking if Elias was going back to Sweden after injury. My personal favourite was asking Elias how many minutes he feels he should play... early on in the season. 60 minutes sounds good to me says Elias!!! And the train wreck continues... The Vancouver social media group I feel does a great job. How do we change the "rest of the media" to be more positive? The target(s) of this tweet deserve so much better! @debluvscanucks Any ideas? I'm extra disappointed because I grew up watching Hirsch play net for the Blazers.
  3. You can listen on tunein radio on your phone sportsnet 650.
  4. Well, by now the draw is done. We are just waiting for the results. I wonder if JB is smiling or not?
  5. I'm trying to think of all the tinfoil conspiracy theories that could happen. -colorado goes #1, 2 -edmonton in top three again -philly moves up top three again -draft host gets #1 Did I miss any?
  6. Sportsnet. Haven't heard about any other (video) streams. It's also on Sportsnet 650 radio. It's not like there is much to see. I'll probably just listen on the radio and wait to see if CDC crashes. Hoping for an epic CDC crash
  7. We're long overdue for draft lottery luck. And we are hosting the draft, so Bettman will be stuffing the box to create a conspiracy! We've got this!
  8. I'm not sure why anyone thinks we should change GM or coach? Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think both are doing a very good job. We are rebuilding and I could only imagine being worse off with someone else at the helm. This team competes, we are building from the draft, there is excitement and a chance to win every night. If I was going to change something to benefit the team, it would be the "media reporters" - the ones asking the dumb questions. That doesn't mean all of them, just the ones repeatedly asking moronic questions. It's tough to watch.... embarrassing.... even as a fan watching.
  9. Well, he's finally moved into 3rd place. He's starting to slow down though. I can't see him passing Roy unless something changes.... Instead, both Lundquist and Fleury look to creep up and challenge. Fleury might be able to challenge Roy, he's young enough still.
  10. Ask yourself... what have we learned from players "requesting" something. I'm thinking Hodgson, McCann, Tryamkin.... Then again, maybe add Josh Leivo to that list . Depends on circumstances. JB wants players that want to be here and earn their way. Dahlen may yet turn out great, but if he doesn't want to put the effort in, what good will he be if he bolts to Sweden?
  11. Apparently we got fleeced? NHL Insider Ricky Bobby‏ @tracegerrett 2m2 minutes ago NHL Insider Ricky Bobby Retweeted Bob McKenzie Pittsburgh absolutely fleeced Vancouver with this deal. Erik Gudbranson is one of the best depth defenseman that you can find on the market today. Brilliant move by GM Jim Rutherford. #NHLTradeDeadline #LetsGoPens #Canucks
  12. Personally, I like "Elias carefully put the puck in the cardboard so that it bounced out to Boeser - and he could only put it in the box."
  13. Speaking of EP40 and media back in Sweden, this piece sure made me chuckle. Elvis - is in the building! Here's the Google Chrome translation: https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/a/e1gp5y Elias Pettersson's new show tonight: "Lord God" Fought for five points in Vancouvers victory NEW YORK. Elvis held a new show in Vancouver tonight. Yes, Elias Pettersson is called the number so - and he contributed two goals and three assisted when Canucks won a wild match against Colorado with 7-6. Thus he is in fifteen points in nine matches and has completed the best Swedish season start in the NHL story. "It's amazing to see him," said team mate Loui Eriksson to Sportbladet. It is the teammates who, with the help of local media, gave the Swedish rookie sensation Elias Pettersson the nickname Elvis - and talk that he lived up to it during the night's home game against Gabriel Landeskog and the other Avalanche stars. He made up with just the spectacular kind of show that the old rock 'n' roll-king had loved. Two brilliant assistants First, he won two brilliant assistants to the new radar partner Brock Boeser - and the other was a masterpiece a la Henrik Sedin. Elias carefully put the puck in the cardboard so that it bounced out to Boeser - and he could only put it in the box. "I saw that Brock had higher speed than the back and thought that the variant might work," he told the local media afterwards. "I tried something similar to one of the first matches, but then it became icing. So it does not always work, but now it was fine. Then he scored two goals himself too. At the end of the second period, he pushed in 4-4 in general move in front of the Avalanche keeper Philipp Grubauer - and when 36 seconds left of regular matchtid, he dumped the newest NHL career until now. The home team was under 5-6 and had picked Jakob Markström out of the box. Then the 19-year-old mediocre showed up in the castle, got a fitting and damned the receipt. Played until the decision - Hello, I do not think he himself understands how good he is, cheered the local TV commentators after the triumph. But that was not enough. Before Elvis left the building - sorry ... he played until Derrick Pouliot's decisive overtime as well. Conclusion: Two goals, three assist - five points. And in total he has scored fifteen points on nine matches. It is Swedish rookie record. Mats Sundin, Peter Forsberg, Daniel Alfredsson, Brothers Sedin, Håkan Loob, Patrik Sundström ... They were not near fifteen points after their first matches in the world's best league. "And then it's still so much more difficult nowadays," said team mate Loui Eriksson on the phone from Vancouver. "It's amazing to see him. The match tonight was absolutely amazing. He was in everything we did forward. And just set important goals. That he can already play like this when he's so young ... yes, that's really impressive. Loui did a goal himself too - the first for the season. - Yes, now I'm glowing ... hey hey, well, of course it was nice. I've had a lot of situations, but nothing goes easy for me right now, he continues. "Although we always find ways to win, Trotrs says we have so much damage, and it is still the most important thing. Gabriel Landeskog had an assistant for Colorado
  14. Looks like he's back, and picked up W 472 on Friday! If he stays healthy, he should pass Belfour this year.
  15. -Canucks miss the playoffs, finish last place -Pettersson keeps the games worth watching (20G, 35A) -Horvat takes over leadership of the team -Boeser has a slow start, but has a hot second half of the season (25G, 20A) -DiPietro passes Demko on depth chart as our most promising goaltender -Canuck fans will have a hard time realizing that this D is terrible, our G is well below average, and we cant score at F. Future maybe not as bright as we think. -Despite good odds, we miss out at the draft lottery and drop to 3rd pick -Tank GDT returns by Xmas -TDL brings us at most 1 or 2 5th,6th round picks. -Pittsburgh vs Sharks for the cup - Sharks win first cup.
  16. Does anybody have the video of Tryamkin pushing Sutter to the bench, after Sutter was injured blocking a shot? I think it was Jan 6, 2017??, but can't find any video. I remember that as one of the "Well, I haven't seen that before" sort of moments.
  17. Gadjovictory! This guys a gem.
  18. I see a little of this in our future: #Gadjovicktory
  19. I'm ok with trading the pick, as long as it's for two picks...
