  1. Where the Canucks haters at now?? Absolutely massive signing, centre depth is off the charts, and the PK will be top 10. Love being a Canucks fan right now! Lets gooooo!

  2. I heard Jason Aldean’s follow up to Try That In A Small Town will be I’m Dreaming Of A White Christian.

      I think some celebrities need to shut their yap about topics that they know nothing about. Unfortunately, they are celebrities and think they should keep talking.

      I think the gender affirming thing she talked about was disingenuous. Some other celebs called her out for her comments, which I honestly didn't think was THAT bad, but I guess I don't know much about the topic to begin with. In short, she comes across to me as a narcissist.

  4. With the owner of Tottenham Hotspur, in court for insider trading. Is there such a thing as an ethical billionaire?

      Interesting question. I think there is, but they are few and far between. That guy in that article is/was greedy based on those allegations. I'm pretty sure that given his age, he'll be spared.

  5. Gosh! The price of cell phones these days - the fancy ones! My goodness almost a $1,000 or more! I was changing my auto pay to get my discount per month, because that's like $60 a year! But my goodness!

      There are reasonable phones and there are overpriced ones. I've come across too many people that want all the features and pay through the nose with them. Not to mention their phone plans are 60+ each. Some are 90+ because of those new ones.


      Crappy.

  7. #AssetManagement Toronto edition

     

    Here is Toronto's trade history of 1st rounders and add-ons since 2019


    2019 - Grundstrom (2nd) Durzi (2nd) 1st round pick (22nd OA) for Muzzin
    2020 - gave away 13OA (Seth Jarvis) to get rid of the Marleau contract
    2021 - traded away 25OA (Corson Ceulemans) to acquire Noesen and Foligno... both no longer with the TML
    2022 - gave away to get rid of Mrazek contract... did get back a 2nd round pick (Fraser Minten) who had a very meh season and very underwhelming playoff as a D+1 player.
    2023 - traded away 25OA (Otto Stenberg) to acquire Ryan O'Reilly who signed with the Preds as a UFA.
    2024 - still owned by the TML but will probably have to attach it to Murray to trade away that boat anchor of a contract
    2025 - traded away with other prospects to acquire Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty

    the Leafs have traded away 6 first round picks for 1 playoff series win and only have McCabe and Lafftery left to show for it.

      @Bob.Loblaw The only difference is that the Canucks get dunked in articles, whereas the Leafs are praised every single year for making great moves.

  8. Alf feels sorry for the Habs. The history of the Gorton/Hughes duo for drafting in round one is bad. Every pick is a bustaroo! Lafreniere, Anderson, Kravtsov, Chytl, and now Slafkoski and Reinbacher. Are these two guys the worst at the draft ever? 

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Neither Slaf nor Reinbacher can be considered busts at this point.

  9. Hockeyfeed (don't know how reliable a source this is) is reporting that Rogers wants to cut costs next season and that Ron McLean may be out. Be still my beating heart. Now if only they canned Simpson and Galley, my perfect circle of happiness would be complete.

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      What's wrong with Simpson and Galley? They're fine. Craig Simpson has always been a pretty balanced commentator.


      Now, with Ron, I respect the fact that he has an encyclopedia's worth of hockey knowledge and trivia. But the guy is as biased as one can stand. And some people can't stand it.

  11. Remaining Free Agents Canucks should take flyers on:

     

    Nick Ritchie

    Tyler Motte

    Patrik Nemeth

      Motte deserves a one way contract. He works his tail off and he doesn't get the props he deserves.

  13. Lammikko had a pretty good year in the Swiss-A league. Bet Tocchett would have liked him.

      Lammikko was a great depth player. It really is a headscratcher why they didn't bring him back.

  14. Great resume tips? I'm redoing my resume to make it ATS compatible and great. How far should a resume go back, is it okay to put a line under my name and contact information (ATS concern), omitting irrelevant information, etc.? I was laid off a few weeks ago and have been looking for work since. 

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      @-DLC- Yes, you are absolutely right on the money about this. Less IS more.

       

       @brilac As such, a resume should be no longer than 1 page, regardless of your accomplishments, in my honest opinion. Also, you MUST talk about your soft skills that you bring to the table (i.e demonstrated supervisor abilities by leading small team to finish a project under a certain period of time). Make at least three points there. What do you bring to the company? Guaranteed you'll have something to say.

       

      Mention personality. Are you team oriented? This is a big one. Nobody wants to hire a problem colleague. Ideally, you're capable of working alone or with others, with or without supervision.

       

      I'll stress again. Do not make your resume more than 1 page. You'll have to talk about your previous work experiences on that same page, but limit that to just one or two roles. They'll have time to ask you for more details during an interview.

  15. allvin told his scouts to find players with the mmost upside in the draft. at 11, who could that be?

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      So this is gonna be a home run pick, or an absolute bust? There is no reason to gamble at 11. The players are gonna be pretty good at this point.

      @Drive-By Body Pierce I'd also add that the trading of coaches for a 2nd round was changed after the Canucks benefited lol.

      @Drakrami I was being sarcastic. Moving players because they were from the old regime is stupid decision making and I just highlighted the reason why.

      @Drakrami Hughes, Pettersson, and Demko are from the old regime too. Might as well trade them away to "make a statement".

  23. Hmmm...Islanders win with 5 goals scored tonight, but no points for Horvat. Shouldn't have put $7 on him

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      @Alflives I'm not convinced that it's a bad trade so far. Horvat's had a very poor playoff series, but his faceoff percentage came as advertised. Horvat's also got his SHG touch (albeit at a meaningless time of the game). This is obviously a learning curve for him.
