  1. Believe it or not, some of us were actually around before Google. You know, before the new millenium?
  2. Misery loves company. It's like group therapy here. And right on cue, affirmation and encouragement to keep it rolling.
  3. Glad to see Warhippy coming around to the light side.
  4. You'll need to take a haitus from this thread if that happens. It'll be worse than ugly.
  5. Funny how often those guys put it out there then end up eating their words. "Third-line 40 or 50 points maybe once, no NHL for a couple more years" Horvat was particularly amusing.
  6. Sutter is versatile -- can play wing or centre, up and down the lineup, excellent skater, good on face-offs, can play the PP, and is an elite PKer plus putting up 0.5+ppg. Very good shot and below-average passer, but what more can be asked for? These kind of guys are invaluable, especially with the way we get hit with injuries.
  7. Hopeful that Rodin is an upgrade on Baertschi, but Granlund might be a better pick for Vegas. If that's how it goes and nothing else changes, we simply draft Nico Hischier to replace Granlund, then have a countryman C for Sven
  8. This year, injury coverage. Next year, Burrows and perhaps Granlund to Vegas, but with Boeser hopefully taking one of those spots.
  9. Because evidently the entire Canucks organization from ownership to players operates based exclusively on ego, pride, greed, and neurotic paranoia.
  10. He's not been shy about moving up and joining the rush at times either. Funny though, because when his teammates see him it's like "whoa, what's he doing here?" and they have yet to make a play to him. Has got caught a few times, but recovers well, and simply put -- pucks do not get by him on the wall. It's like he has a boat oar for a stick. Pedan is likewise very strong -- many times he's shoved guys down to the ice, with just his left hand.
  11. Apparently it stuck to some fur.
  12. It's important that Jukilele gets lots of playtime.
  13. We need Subban to come up and show Gudbranson how to play some big-league D.
  14. TMZ1040 cashing in on the doom and gloom by tossing and stoking more poop onto the bonfire. They know how to work Canuck fans and their hot buttons like a cheap fiddle, same as poop-tossers Blotch and Eklund. "Sedin trade possible! Boeser might not sign! Virtanen chronic injury! Friction between ownership and management! Willie has compromising pics of Benning!"
  15. Yes, that's yet to be determined. He could flip the switch and torch the AHL or regress. He already has NHL size, speed, and shot, so it's about tidying up the rest of his game and getting his approach to it set right. That's not something that should require multiple years to accomplish, but again, it's totally up to him.
  16. Because he traded them away for absolutely nothing in return? You've outdone yourself.
  17. That's actually along the lines of what I'd like to see. By the TDL and whatever happens by then, put him with the Sedins and drop them timewise to second or even third line 5v5 minutes (they will still get the bulk of PP time). Share primary 5v5 tiime between the other two main lines -- Sven/Bo/Burrows and Hansen/Sutter/Eriksson/Granlund. It's nearing time to flip the switch, and it should be done if we're out of the playoff picture come that time. That also helps prepare the deck for Jake and Brock to come in next year and get us over the transition hump to where the yutes are the primary drivers of the team.
  18. He's saying the right things, let's hope it's for real and not just coached talking points. Getting him away from home may just have been the exact thing he needed, and maybe he's finally realized that at 20 it's time to get serious about his career. Jake is absolutely loaded with talent and potential, and seems to be a genuinely good kid with good parents. Hopefully they've finally got through to him and he's bought in.
  19. ...and in at least 3 other threads.
