  1. Lol of coz he’s playing like a 3c.. he’s forced into the matchup role without ever given a chance in an offensive role in his career with the canucks. When was he ever given a chance in a role that is not a matchup defensive role in his career? Never? I dunno many 3c in this league that scores 31 goals in 70 games. If we swap the roles of Horvat and Miller. I’m sure Horvat won’t be as productive as miller but he prolly hits 70 points. Meanwhile miller would prolly be on pace to lead the league in the minus department if he was matched up consistently against other teams top line the way he throws blind passes that puts his defenceman in a bad situation. Miller have been guilty of at least 2 or 3 of those every game but we let it slide coz he puts up points. granted I don’t view Horvat as a 1/1A center i view him as a 2c at best and at worse. If he’s a 1c in this league he’s be making closer to 9mil not 7. 7 is more in the range or a 2c
  2. who are the a lot of players we are talking about? there are 19 centers that have more goals than horvat and 1 center that scored more goals and won more faceoff than horvat.. wel prolly 0 if he didn't miss 12 games. Horvat being non existent the first 2 games actually didn't hurt the team as much as Miller bone headed giveaways and being on the ice for all 8 goals lol.
  3. the canucks are working really hard to deny bruce his 600th win lol. when they were down a goal late.. there really wasn't any urgency.. i dunno whats wrong with hughes but he seem to be struggling a bit.. now that poolman is out.. our RHD is Schenn Burrough and i'm guessing juulsen will be called up? omg the sky is fallingggggggg
  4. Miller's frequent terrible giveaway this season is hard to watch.. last year people blow it off coz he's putting up a point or 2 every game.. this year he doesn't even look good offensively and his giveaways are even more frequent than last year. it's really hard to be on the ice for all 8 goals scored against to start a season. i'm also convinced Hoglander needs to come off EP's line.. kid have heart but he's not a match on that line.. at least not as it stands.. switch up podz and hogs.. we are in danger of going 0-5 on this trip.. Washington started off roughly will look to bounce back at home.. columbus maybe the only winnable game remains with laine out.. and then a back to back in minnesota which is always rough.. oh boy.
  5. Dobson with his current AAV for 3 years plus the premium for RHD? he's worth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>horvat lol
  6. it really depends, we don't know how bo is viewed inside the locker room coz we ain't there. we can speculate all we want as fan whether bo is a good captain or not but i reckon Bo is very well liked and respected in the locker room. i think trading bo will negatively affect the locker room unless it is a home run trade that makes the team better. Personally i don't think such a trade exist, and we'll end up with the 1st prospect and a fringe player at the deadline. how do you think the player feels if bo is traded midway thru the season and you did not end up with anything that made the team better? the players will start questioning.. are you trying for the playoffs.. or are we tanking the season and try again next year? if they were planning to move bo they should have done it during the off season. they had plenty of time to move him from the time Miller is signed to the season started
  7. lol you can't be a captain or leader without the C at least according to this fanbase anyways. again the canucks were in a full blown rebuild not competing for a playoff spot and the locker room was completely destroyed ever since messier arrived. trading linden made no difference to that locker room. if we were rebuilding feel free to trade everyone including EP QH i wouldn't care
  8. again rare and it was a pretty good trade value wise regardless of what bertuzzi was at the time, and we were pretty much in a full blown rebuild blow everything up and Linden was not the captain.. so whats your point?
  9. lol they want to get rid of bo because he's not a 3c.. PLD isn't a 3c either?? so aren't they contradicting themselves?? PLD IF he's even willing to sign in vancouver would be asking for 8mil+ but we dont' want to pay a 3c 7-8mil zzz
  10. if they were to trade Bo.. it needed to be done before the start of the season.. or it's going to be at the TDL lol.. it's not going to happen mid season.. unless the trade is mind blowing.. captains rarely if ever gets traded mid season before TDL unless they requested a trade out and unless he's disliked in the room.. it's going to shatter the fragile locker room we already have.. i'm certain Bo won't be traded until the TDL if he ends up moving for something insignificant.. the canucks will end up missing this year's playoff because of it and depending if they can get a RHD in the UFA next season and a 3c.. they risk missing the playoff again next season with EP taking the 1 year arbitration and walk where we end up forced to trade him and go into a full blown rebuild. Bo alone won't get you a RHD not without an extension.. and i don't see Bo doing the team any favour in signing an extension so they can maximize the return since they are desperately dumping him.. even if Bo is interested in re-signing with that team.. he can easily wait till after the season ends to re-sign with them while they can hold on to their significant trade pieces that benefits his future team.. it makes more sense to help your future team than your former team that's trying to rid you.
  11. lol point is EP haven't gotten better in faceoff last year.. he actually gotten worse than the previous year.. he was pretty bad during preseason.. and he was atrocious last night winnign 3 out of 14 while the everyone else dominated the oiler in the faceoff circle.. his strength and his body type is just not suitable to be effective in the faceoff circle. most center just overpowers him in the dot.
  12. i dont think it'll take 4-5 i think they'll be a massive anchor in 2-3 years as that's probably how big their window is. markstrom will be 35 tanev will be 35 kadri will be 35 huberdeau will be 32 coleman will be 33.. if calgary don't win the cup within the next couple years.. u think a team led by a bunch of 35 year old gonna be competitive? we are not talking about 1 or 2.. we are talking about 3 of the main core piece.. they have nothing in the pipeline that can replace them.
  13. the trade make sense for Florida.. they won't be able to afford weegar anyways and Tkatchuk will keep their window open much longer than keeping huberdeau and the guy technically not even in his prime yet whether you like him or hate him. both huberdeau and weegar contract will be massive anchor halfway thru while MT will be in his prime the entire duration of the contract.
  14. lol the avs had a practice game last night.. flames match up well against the avs but markstrom have issues with mcdavid
  15. sure but i don't think it's that far off based on the comments from his agent today.
  16. love how everyone is trashing on Horvat's leadership because he has the C.. so what about the guys with the A? and if you are a real leader in the locker room people won't listen to you because you dont have a C or A? gimme a break.. Horvat may not be the greatest captain.. but the team as a whole doesn't have any leadership anyways.. you guys keep saying Miller is a better captain.. well he's an assistant captain.. i don't see him leading the team either last night? he was decent offensively and beyond horrible defensively
  17. well if the new management starts off with a lowball offer using RNH as a comparable and ask him to take a paycut as rumored.. that's a pretty big slap to the face. not only do you not offer him what he's making now.. you offer him even less for his prime years. i dunno how you would feel if you are negotiating a contract and your boss tells you, you have done a great job so far and we would like to keep you in vancouver. so here's an offer for less than what you make.. it's almost borderline what garland mikheyev is making lol.. so is that a joke? i dunno if you go into a negotiation with a player that have for whatever it's worth earned what he made in his last contract + some and offer him less than what he makes before. so horvat is only worth 60% of a miller?and only 10% more than a garland or mikheyev?
  18. The chances is close to 0 you get the rhd from moving bo. Not without an extension in place. I don’t see Bo willing to extend with any team traded unless he’s being overpaid. Why extend when you can go into ufa pick and choose where you go? If this is the way the canucks are treating him then if I was bo I would not have extension in place with any team he’s traded to. Even if he were to re-sign with them he would wait till off season as it would benefit the future team he’s on lower cost to trade for him and he wouldn’t give a f what happens with the canucks if that’s the scenario
  19. This have nothing to do with defending either side. If the moms side is doing everything in accordance to the law then he’s FA needs to pay every penny of it. The issue is they don’t have the rights to just decides I’m going to block out every information but you’ll have to continue to pay me. If they wanted to block out all the information I’m sure they’ll have to go to the judge/court and ask for permission to do so. Not just block out all the information because they felt like it. Everything regarding child support have to be properly documented and all information have to be available for both side in order for child support to be paid. They don’t have the rights to block information but at the same time continue to ask for money. I’m pretty sure FA seeked out multiple opinions from lawyers before deciding to stop payment. Since they felt that they failed to provide proper documentation of all cost and expense therefore child support is forfeited. I don’t think receipts with just the cost and all information blocked out is considered proper documentation in the court of law. im not defending him whether he’s an abuser or not an abuser. I’m only defending him based on whether he needs to pay child support or not. Right now with the limited information and evidence available to us it seems he is within his rights to cut payments. whether or not he’s an abuser is another story and until they provide concrete information it’s hearsay. FA should be afforded innocence until proven guilty and they’ll have to provide concrete evidence. If they provide evidence other than what he said or she said. FA should be run out of town and forced out of all his business in Vancouver.
  20. so seeing if the "child" you are paying for is passing failing or skipping class is controlling? maybe he's trying to find out if they are signed up for 1 course during the summer semester and not showing up for class while claiming they are studying year long to get 12k every month? i know plenty of people drag out their education in university by taking minimal courses per semester because they don't want to go out and work and have their parent continue to pay for them. what's a 3rd party going to do? decide whether or not a 48k computer is justified? and how do they go and determine that without being bias one way or another? whether or not he thinks the program his kids are taking is appropriate or not is irrelevant. all he can have is an opinion on it. what's he going to do? beat the living shit out of them if they are in a program he doesn't think is appropriate for them? again if he cares so much about their whereabouts and stalking them.. he can easily hire a private detectives to do so.. redacting information doesn't do anything. We can agree he's a horrible parent. Whether he should or shouldn't have to continue to pay child support that's up to the court to decide.. if it was that black and white the court would have already ruled on it and not waste anyone's time. as for the abuse allegation again that's for the court to decide. everyone is entitled to their innocent until proven guilty. nowadays the cancel culture is so strong everyone is guilty until proven innocent thx to social media.
  21. if i'm paying 12k per month per kid for child care even though every single one of them is a million multi millionaire + have to pay whatever price on receipts they claim is for education like a 48k computer and flight tickets.. you better damn well have prove those are required by your education. if FA finds out their exact class schedule what's he going to do? go to their school and beat the crap out of them or try to kidnap them? if they are that really scared of FA then they can go to court and get a restraining order against him. as the guy that's paying the child support and all the "educational expense" he has the rights to know what he is paying for. maybe FA is an abuser maybe he's not, don't think it's fair for any of us to to label him one way or another. that's for the judge to decide but seems you have already sentenced him as one without actually knowing the facts from the case directly from the court.
