  1. I have a feeling the Canucks may come out with a win here. Only because a loss heading into the break means the loser talk won't end for WEEKS. But we'll see.
  2. Since nobody will intimidate Kassian on the ice, I guess Leafs fans will have to hop over the glass to get their own piece of him.
  3. He is physical and solid. But slow and out of position a lot. He lets guys blow by him all the time now. Hence the minuses. However, he's younger than Bieksa and can still resurrect his career. Bieksa as we see him now is about as good as he'll ever get. Makes no sense trading either player right now, really. We need a physical RHD and Edler's value is currently too low to make a decent trade.
  4. If we do tank, then we NEED to start drafting the right players. Esp. given how dominant the Californian teams are.
  5. Anyone who thinks the Gillis truly believes this team is a contender is fairly damn gullible. Coach change is step one. Step two is to bring in a bunch of prospects. Step three is to start ditching all the proven talent on the team (except the Sedins, who have... yup... NMC's.) When Gillis (or whoever the GM is) ditches all our non-Sedin proven talent, I don't think CDC is going to be happy about that either. (We're not going to get much for them, since we're trading in a position of weakness.)
  6. BAN TSN! Why? Darren 'The Tool' Dreger!

      You goin' HAM today.

  7. Gillis is frustrated and annoyed just like us all. WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A LANDSLIDE! We need Burrows 2.0 to step up and put this team on his back. But who's it gonna be?
  8. Gillis' comments about NTC's is a prelude to throwing guys like Kesler and Bieksa under the bus when they're dealt to a potential winner. The question is why we're not keeping these true core character guys around while rewarding the Sedins' failure with big expensive extensions. Wouldn't matter if Gillis would've cut the fat via smart trades or be able to draft a player or develop a drafted player into anything useful for the Canucks. We see the Comets struggle all bloody year and yet we're supposed to get excited when these guys get shots? Ah-hahahahah!
  9. Faquilini should pack up the team and move it to some wintery hole where there's nothing to do BUT love hockey.
  10. If we are ALL Canucks, does that mean we ALL can rush the opponents dressing room whenever we don't like what's going on?

    1. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Because I would like to. Also rush the ref room.

      Now that you mention it... what is stopping fans from doing that. With the exception of boston there are no security guards/officer to stop them and they can meet the players for free.

      I have no problem with that.

  11. Good trade, but both teams aren't that great right now, so what are we talking about? I had a 'wait, what?' moment when Valk said that Weise was one of our better skaters and forecheckers. I didn't see much in the way of big hits at all during all his time here. And his puck possession and overall skill was nil. Hey, he was waived by the Rangers for a reason. In that light we got a decent depth defenseman (rental), which we needed, and all it took was some waiver wire garbage instead of burning picks/prospects. Yay.
  12. Those with cups are also attempting to win though, but I think what's stupid is believing that Schroeder was a steal at the time. Having better players selected after him just makes that belief all the more laughable.
  13. Tons of teams have struggled this season for long periods, but only a hanful of meh trades have happened. I think we should wait for Henrik and Torts to bail us out, because otherwise we're trading at a point of weakness. Besides, it's not like we're going to get immediate help.
  14. Look at Anaheim's lineup. See all the great prospects panning out for them? Yeah... But let's trade our only decent one.
  15. The NHL needs a league-wide Darude ban.

      So you dislike Darude and TSN ? We are sworn enemies now.

      Sworn enemies? I like it!!!!

      By the way, wtf is a Darude anyway?

  16. Because the whole incident was staged. Because the whole incident was staged.
  17. This statement is correct. But Hartley should be fined for... Being a cowardly douchebag before the game and then stupidly lying every step of the way afterwards?
  18. The Sedins aren't scoring and are banged up. If you send another line out there and they get tuned up, then we're depleted further. There was no option there but to send out our 4th. Hartley knew what he was doing. He has a history of doing it from his Colorado days. He's a goon coach. Part of Torts' anger was he was forced into making a decision that he didn't really want to make. It was a classless move by an ignorant coach in Calgary.
  19. There are a lot of Blue Jackets i'd take over Gaborik.
  20. Two things... 1. We're retaliating against teams, not initiating. Yes, we had last change tonight, but when Alberts got knocked out by McGrattan, there was nothing that happened during that game to make Calgary take notice that we're not gonna take that crap. Ditto when Hanzal injured 3 guys last game. Nothing. Ditto when Brown ran over Luongo. We retaliated a game later. Ditto when Bertuzzi took out Moore. So you can see when retaliation can go a bit too far. 2. Did Torts honestly expect us to believe that Henrik's Ironman streak isn't pretty important to Henrik? Not only that, but it's important to nobody but the media, who apparently invented it? 'Waddaya guys call it? Oh yeah, the Ironman streak...' We have the right coach at the wrong time. Now the coach is the star. Him being all alone at the bench to start the 2nd was fairly symbolic.
