  1. Sbisa has never EVER been even just passable as a 2nd pairing D. Think of him as a healthier Tanev with more offensive skill (though perhaps not as strong defensively as him).
  2. Daniel was looking to pass the puck to Hank even in the shootout.
  3. I think Nazzy had a job all lined up with MODO back at home (which likely influenced his decision to walk away from money on the table). Aquilini should just offer Eriksson a bagful of money which he can pickup in Sweden in an Airport locker.
  4. Yeah about the only thing I’m ticked off about this season is that a year of the ELC contracts of EP and Hughes get burned off. Though that IS mitigated by one year of Ericsson’s coming off the books.
  5. And Schmidt has a longer history of playing as a legit top 4 D. I have zero concerns regarding his ability.
  6. Imagine having a head coach like the Panthers. You don’t think Bennett’s progress and ex-Canuck draft pick Forsling had at least something to do with coach Q?
  7. Before the truth came out, I REALLY hated Fleury (probably moreso because he was a Flame lol) but given all the **** he had to put up with growing up (eg.,https://www.ctvnews.ca/theo-fleury-details-sexual-abuse-by-hockey-coach-1.442123?cache=yesclipId104062%3FclipId%3D104066 ); I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Fleury. edit: didn't realize about his current viewpoints. Very sad to see. Much like Charleton Heston who seemed to go off the deep end later in his life. Once was a fairly prominent celebrity showing his support for the civil rights movement in the 1960s (despite him being a conservative).
  8. Canucks really did some sneaky **** in getting him drafted. Lol, finding mysterious game day sheets with Bure’s name in it so he would be eligible to be drafted. Plenty of corruption over there, all you have to do is slip a bag of small unmarked bills to the right officials. But hey, it ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught! League has been after the Canucks ever since.
  9. Adrenaline only works for so long. COVID/schedule has worn them down. They're only human.
  10. Waiver wire pickups cost the team nothing. Zero risk (so as long as they don't have lengthy terms attached to them). Think of them as a free lottery ticket. Low chance of hitting but next to zero risk.
  11. Didn't you hate at collection time, you knew the person was home but they wouldn't answer the door . I'm guessing with auto-payment by credit card nowadays, that isn't a problem anymore. Wasn't like that in 'the good old days'.
  12. Who was that Detroit Red Wings player that had his patented ‘jump into the other guy hit’ but he was sneaky in that he turned at the last moment so his back would hit that guy will full force? Holmstrom?
  13. Ask DiPetrio. Hasn't played a game this season yet (here or in the minors)
  14. *****looks at your avatar of Linden***** Keenan tore the heart out of the club by dealing Linden. But he did get a huge haul in that trade. Assets which Burke turned around & used to help draft the Sedins. But as Stannis says (with respect to Keenan):
  15. Too bad this guy retired: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Levesque
  16. I must have dozed off (like I always do lol). Who is this Silovs person?
  17. Willie was still in his prime though..at least until that cheapshot by puke Malkin (he cross checked him head first into the boards, funny how Malkin didn’t even get a penalty on the play let alone suspension...no wonder Matt Cooke turned into a headhunter for the Pens).
  18. The crazy Viking (Ohlund) says, “Hold my beer”.
  19. I’d share my selective memory but I forgot.
