  1. at this point, he's a perimeter player that has virtually no effect on the game.
  2. you should try watching the game instead of a 2 second gif. though I guess this is the internet in 2019 ... I imagine 2 seconds probably tops out your attention span.
  3. it really wasn't. the video is a bad angle, and it was more obvious while watching live, but if you look close, you can see quinn's hands/stick move back and away from the guy just as he was attempting to lift quinn's stick. quinn's slick skills in this case backfired a bit. the confounding thing is that it wasn't a double minor even though he needed repairs.
  4. I would say the chances of the canucks not having other players get hurt in the first 2 months of the season before roussel is ready is virtually nil. by the time he's ready, there will be other players hurt, making the roster issue moot.
  5. so surely, in fact, that it happened 2 days ago.
  6. half.of rogers arena is still more than a sellout in victoria ... but regardless, don't you think what you're pointing out might be EXACTLY why they've set the roster as they have? they know that victoria is going to sell out regardless of who they have in the lineup, so save the marquee names for rogers arena so you can hopefully get more butts in seats. if a preseason lineup featuring hughes and pettersson will only fill half the seats at rogers, how bad would it be if those two WEREN'T in the lineup?
  7. that's just artistic exaggeration by jr. his height was billed accurately.
  8. he was always billed as 6'10" when I used to watch ~20 years ago I'm pretty sure.
  9. I would bet a paycheque it will be.
  10. I'm not sure in which world they would be compared.
  11. I can't speak to the other references you made, but in this context, he's obviously answering a direct question. I agree in a sense, though. I don't like the way that bo was annointed captain the day he was drafted.
  12. it's not an article, and 'the canucks way' or whatever that website is called isn't canucks media (or media at all, for that matter). it's a blog post written by a blogger. if it isn't tsn/sportsnet/NHL.com/the athletic/a us network/the hockey news/postmedia, it's not an article written by a journalist, it's a meaningless opinion written by a nobody.

  14. uhhh... exactly. either compare Bo from 2015-16 to 2016-17 with Brock's last 2 years, or compare Bo's last 2 years to Brock's 2019-20 to 2020-21. this original comparison is meaningless and misleading.
  15. in Russia, social security collects you.
  16. I was being sarcastic. also, that's why you shouldn't support hack wannabe sports writers without press credentials. people who are reporting on other people's reporting and have no access to the source material. it's also why you should do your own fact checking. 2019 is one giant game of telephone.
  17. to be fair, jimmy vesey and kevin hayes are objectively the same person.
  18. it was also a time when players were putting up 160 point seasons against standup goalies wearing 3rd rate equipment.
  19. in a landscape where pettersson is destined for $9 mil minimum, brock is worth $7. give it to him. make your core players happy, make them fall in love with the organization so that they're more inclined to do whatever it takes to win.
