  1. I personally thought the six million dollar man show was the coolest as a kid...
  2. I would've post the Full Metal Jacket scene but it has that expletive.
  3. Never said anything about Brock as a human being. I wouldn't have a problem with dating my sister. That wasn't the question you posed though.
  4. Brock? Not a chance. EP? If team takes steps to protect him on the ice, easily. Quinn? Depends on how he develops his play without the puck. Even if he doesn't progress in that area, I still see him contending for the Norris in the future (as that is more points based). Nobody cares about "runner up". We were runner up in 1982, 1994 and 2011.
  5. Speaking of bears....for some levity (heck knows as Canucksfans we all need some of that..): Think about this for a moment, bears eat thru garbage...*anything*. Yet it sniffs at the Subway "food" & says "nah".
  6. Hey with guys stuff, literally *everything* comes back into style eventually!
  7. **** rookie of the year. How about drafting three league MVPs? Sam Presti: Kevin Durant (he did win rookie of the year as well) Russell Wesbrook James Harden
  8. Myers was a free agency signing. Generally those are going to be always overpaid because of the demand/supply issue. On the plus side, we didn't give up any assets (picks/prospects/players) to sign him.
  9. It's a bit overpaid. Nothing in itself to complain about. Problem is, the some of the *OTHER* contracts on the team left us with zero margin of overpayment. Reason why our taxi squad situation is a bit of a mess.
  10. Erik Karlsson has two Norris trophy wins on his resume. He's well past his prime, but to think that significant hardware doesn't have an impact on his subsequent contracts is well....you know what. Even PK to a lesser extent (one Norris trophy win).
  11. I don't think pointing out a few stupid contracts adds to the strength as the "quality" of a contract on the Canucks. Pointing to Dallas Eakins as a horrible coach doesn't mean Travis Green is an ok NHL head coach.
  12. Speaking of which, who was the genius studio head that decided that Deadpool should have his mouth sewn shut in the X-men Origins Wolverine movie?
  13. Here's a probably not well known movie of his set in various locations in BC! (Segal plays a RCMP constable): The "good old cold war days". Cool seeing how the province looked in the 1970s (and Vancouver is actually playing itself lol! unlike the Jackie Chan movie "Rumble in the Bronx").
  14. Even in Gretzky's time, it took the owner of the team he played for in EXTREME need for capital (money) to make that trade happen.
  15. Regardless of his other abilities, if you only have one hockey skill (and it's at an extremely high level - his shot), it better be that one (goal scoring ability). You can't teach that skill. Luc Robitaille got into the hockey hall of fame with just that one skill.
  16. Can’t wash the stink of being a Bruin even if you change teams ( Shawn Thornton). Was and will always be a piece of ****.
  17. Our blue line isn't remotely strong enough defensively to make up for that loss (and you can't goaltending to stop every shot).
  18. He hasn't been groomed though to even handle just 3rd pairing minutes much less top four minutes (Edler). Though I agree, play OJ now rather than later.
