When the Canucks had individual goal songs in 2016, I thought Jannik Hansen and Jared McCann had the best ideas: Jannik Hansen: Jared McCann:

Sign him. Just because I would like to have a player on the team who doesn't wear a visor for a little while longer.

I was looking for a post about how amazing these jerseys look so I could upvote it. Surprised to find that people don't seem to like them? What is wrong with you people, these look fabulous!

This has been my secret (unreasonable) fantasy. I like to believe that Horvat and the Canucks have already agreed in principle to a 7 year, 7.3 million deal, but Horvat is such a great Canuck, and a loyal captain, that he and the Canucks have agreed that Horvat will be traded as a rental at the deadline this year to acquire much needed future assets for the betterment of the team. Then he resigns in the summer. Dare to dream!

Exactly, I don't even need to know if the "locker room rumours" are true or not. I see enough watching him on the ice to know that he's not captain material. He's the only guy who stands out to me during the game as being lazy, moody and careless on the ice on a regular basis. Love his physical skills and talent, but not a born leader by any means.

Don't worry Bo lovers - I can see the future. Bo's camp rejects 7x7, counters with an offer of 8x8 The Canucks reject it, call around the league to test the trade market and realize they aren't going to get great value in a trade. Once the maximum pressure is on both sides, just before the trade deadline, they agree on 7.4 x 8. I'll come back in a couple months and say I told you so.

The Canucks' threshold for jersey retirement is already too low; retiring Luongo's number would lower it even further. Always loved, and still love, Luongo, but the standard needs to be higher.

All the Canucks need to do is go 5-8-0 in their next 13 to still have a better record after 22 games compared to last year. And we all know what they did after 22 games last year. There is still plenty of reason for hope.

There are apparently 98,000 users on this forum. If we each pitch in $6,690. We can afford it. I would actually do this. We can use the Senators as a destination to send the Canucks bad contracts, utilize cap space to acquire players cheaply, draft players for the Canucks, etc. This is how the Canucks finally win the cup. Let's do this.

Correct, If we win all remaining games, and the LA Kings win every game (except the game against us), both teams would have 98 points, but the Canucks would have more regulation wins. If Vegas wins out, they will only reach 97 points. Our playoff destiny is within our control. Scoreboard watching is no longer strictly necessary (but would be nice if some teams lost some to make it easier).

Lol, sorry to burst your bubble, but have you seen the list of previous Basant Motors ambassadors? It is the kiss of death: Alexandre Burrows Alexander Burmistrov Zack MacEwen Adam Gaudette Nate Schmidt Antoine Roussell Every single one of them gone within a season or two of being the ambassador...

I have no problem with criticizing Demko if he is not playing well. I have a problem with you repeatedly pointing at an .880 save percentage and saying that he needs to be .900 or better every single night, because that is not possible.

You just don't understand goaltending, or sample size, or statistics generally. You simply cannot expect a goalie to have a save percentage of .900 or better every single night. That does not happen. The reason it cannot happen is that sometimes Demko has a .960 or even a 1.000 night (shutout). That means, if his "off" nights are better than .900, his AVERAGE save percentage would have to be something ridiculous like .940 or .950 which is not sustainable. You should honestly be glad that a perceived "off" night is only .880. That is a sign of a great goaltender if his bad nights are almost .900. A bad goaltender's off night looks like .700 or .750. You also don't seem to understand that there is such a thing as puck luck which literally cannot be controlled from night to night. You cannot expect such extreme consistency. Or, at the very least, can you just post once per PGT about the sub .900 save percentage and spare us the following 10 redundant posts??

The Canucks putting up a touchdown against a long-time rival, while doing it in their sweet, sweet black flying skate jerseys... I feel like I could use a cigarette. And I don't even smoke...

I feel like the very few people here who are questioning this hire (and very doing so in a very careful way I might add) are getting an unfair amount of pushback on the basis that they are probably sexist. Honestly, I think it is totally fair game to question whether a 38 year old (man or woman) who only became an NHL certified agent 5 years ago is experienced enough for an AGM job with an NHL team. I am 38 years old and am aware enough to realize that most of the best people in my profession are older than I am and have more years experience. By all accounts, she seems to be very bright and may be very good at her job, but I can totally understand how some people might not be convinced of that yet. Also, someone needs to tell her that putting a #22 Canucks jersey with her name on it in the background of an interview is not kosher (kidding, but not really).
