  1. Is Mark Donnelly still looking for work? Maybe he can sing them some songs?
  2. Former Canuck prospect Anton Rodin is an interesting case where I think being sent to the AHL *might* have been a major negative impact on him having a NHL career. His body just couldn’t handle the physical nature/state of play in the AHL & I don’t believe the team had adequate “deterrents” on the roster to help prevent cementheads from taking runs at him. He excelled overseas but still from time to time tried to make it into the NHL. But the accumulated injuries from earlier in his career did there damage I’m afraid. That, or he just had some bad luck.
  3. That's how most/all of these long term deals are structured. They almost always suck in/or near the end of the deal. You *hope* you get enough 'good years' out of the player to make it worth your while. Unfortunately for us with Loui Eriksson, it sucked from game 1 as a Canuck. But that's in the past now.
  4. “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.“ (Marcellus, act 1 scene 4)
  5. Give them the old Ralph Klein option: (a free bus ticket back to Alberta).
  6. I think it's a fairly small list. Offhand, only player I can think of is maybe Oscar Klefbom?
  7. "Horse paste"....like wtf??? Jeebus, humanity is doomed.
  8. To get a guilty verdict in a criminal case (involving jury), you need all jurists agreeing. That ain't always easy to do as not everyone sees the same set of facts the same way. In a civil case (involving jury), all you need is a majority decision. That generally is often easy to get a majority verdict. Trust me (lol, that line didn't go well for me last night but that's another subject ) as I've been on both (@#$@##%$ I can't get even just 4 numbers on a 649 ticket but the jury summons never fails to get sent to me lol).
  9. First real full season (more or less) - 2013-14 season: Edler...age 27 Hamhuis..age 30 Bieksa...age 32 Garrison (when he didn't have a bad groin)..age 28 It's a matter of perspective (as to who he would have to beat out of a spot). Poolman doesn't have nearly the same competition to beat out for a spot. If he can play decent defensively, he's a lock in the top four (imho) period.
  10. Didn't Katz ask & get corporate welfare money for his new arena? Meanwhile he manages to throw away money like this. Alberta, the province where the traditional Tory party wasn't right wing enough. Meanwhile in hippy-land BC, we have a hockey arena that was ENTIRELY funded privately.
  11. Who would've thought Jared McCann was the more professional of the two:
  12. Works when your "big three" consists of Crosby, Malkin & Fluery (as well as having then a legit #1 D in Letang). Doesn't when you don't
  13. Subban got his current deal back when the cap was I believe rising a good chunk every year (as well as winning the Norris trophy not long before inking that monster contract).
  14. Well knowing Microcrap products, it probably won't work.
  15. Inbreeding. Seriously though, we've all done dumb things in our lives. Difference is, it's unlikely we took others down our path as well.
  16. https://ca.yahoo.com/news/republican-official-dies-covid-five-105125382.html Hope he didn't take any people with him (infect others).
  17. Guess he wants to equal Mike Keenan's feat of being the only head coach of a team that has both won a Stanley Cup & KHL championship (obviously not for the same team lol). Still, Harltey is a POS just like Mike Keenan so they share that in common.
  18. Hence why I specifically used the word "proven". I've watched games at Nat Bailey & T-Mobile Park. I enjoyed them both even though one is merely single A while the other is MLB.
  19. Canucks though have more than one proven star attractions (players) that puts 'butts in the seats'.
  20. What's Bob Hartley doing nowadays? Weird how he's won the Jack Adams trophy TWICE! Once after that disaster year with us. Short shelf life though.
  21. I wish I had the guts just to *TALK* to people of the opposite gender and I'm 58.
  22. Alf! He needs the money as all the ladies at the old folks home are gold diggers!
  23. I wish we can all be like Alf. His love for the club never waivers:
