  1. This is what we should looking forward to, a new face to a country favourite segment. If Bieksa some how makes in to the media more it'll be a great day for all of hockey, his dry humour is incredible. A panel with him and Burke would be pretty great. Unfortunate ending on a special day.. Regardless of what you believe in Don captivated audiences in Canada for a long time, as time moves on so do peoples views. Nothing more nothing less. Times were I didnt like his views id just mute the TV other times id just let him blabber and move on, I appreciated his views on hockey though.
  2. Oh how the mighty have fallen, hey Doughty?

      lol @debluvscanucks please allow it

  3. I'll quote the genius him self. "Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over expecting the same results." This is my frustration, will we see another scandal? Will we have more broken promises? Stay tuned in Canadian politics. It's really unfortunate also that they tell everyone to go and vote, your vote makes a difference when its the same pissing pot every 4 years.
  4. Its far less, on the same notion they're on route to an even larger downward spiral after having a sustainable economy for years, the fairness rides in that 54 plus billion that east continually get for equalization. Hind sight 50/50 sure Alberta should've looked at investing in other economies, but no one was complaining while oil was up and they were sustainable.I cant speak in regard to all Albertans but I feel they just want the support in fairness that Quebec and Ontario have been offered for the last 10-15 years.
  5. And every PM before him, not one person who was running had electoral reform in their parties platform.
  6. Within reason everything has up's and downs.. Western Canada has been supporting Eastern Canada long enough and still cant even garnish a right to even have their vote heard. When was the last time the east has put up for equalization payments? to use the last 4 years in perspective to the last 35 with how the west has supported is bogus. Questions to ask, Is this system fair to the west? Why hasn't electoral reform happened? The east shouldn't hold all the cards, parity and fairness should be in the fore front for this country, the pride for diversity can take a back seat.
  7. 32nd we cant forget about Seattle now.. Edit: I'm one too many years ahead..
  8. Roussel and Gaudette being depth is pretty unreal considering where were at this time last year.. I agree, could also help with some load management for some of those long road trips if this team is destined for the playoffs..
  9. Wonder what the plan will be with Roussel when he returns, He's to much of a presence to keep him benched.. But Schaller, Motte and Beagle have looked pretty damn good.
  10. I dream this team makes the playoffs with this core, just seeing these types of players in the playoffs shows their value. I truly believe even if we sneak in with the a wildcard spot with this core its built to make a push. Hard to forget Millers presence when he has played in the post season, combine that with Ferlands tenacity in the post season with Roussel just sounds like a difficult time for the opponent. I'm thinking to far ahead but its a pipe dream. We wont really see this core shine till it comes to playoff time.
  11. This is a continuing trend with the Islanders that has been happening for years. Put him on Dipietro, Strome, Dal Colle, Brett Lindros, Robert Nillsson and Griffin Reinhart island.
  12. Change this damn title, clearly click bait.. Kane has a fair case here with contact from the Ref afterwards. Nothing more nothing less move on, who cares its pre-season. Good day.
  13. So Schaller is some how still on this team? If baer is claimed we're saving 3.3 in cap space.. Often times a player clears waivers and traded after something is in the works..
  14. I hope we snag Schenn! More size on the back end, that glimpse of chemistry with Hughes was enough for me.. People tend to forget that the doctors pretty much gave Baer a ultimatum about his last concussion.. If he has one more he is at risk of not playing hockey anymore..
  15. The Tim and Sid discussion on the Boeser hit is a pretty good listen. I’d give it a whirl if you haven’t.
  16. I've significantly reduced watching hockey and canceled season tickets. I feel 82 game seasons are too long and with Vancouver's travel, really hurts our chances that was my main reason. But officiating against us blows my mind as well, I truly believe this team is being hindered from previous era's like the Bertuzzi incident and Burrows's antics with Kesler going way overboard with comments. Refs take notice to that stuff and don't forget.. Listening to Kerry Fraser or Don Van Massenhoven about some of their incidents with players or just some refs stories that I've listened to on the team stripes podcast and others totally has opened my eyes to ref bias etc. Moral of the post is I barely watch hockey due to officiating..
  17. I'm aware of that, his desire to play in Philly hasn't changed though. 2.5 years left on that deal.. They'll have him and Tkachuk to resign.by the end of this. 9 mil qualifying for Tkachuk, Gaudreau due for a huge raise and a free agent, pick your poison. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/the700level/johnny-gaudreau-would-love-play-flyers-career-ends
  18. I completely agree, he and Gudreau seem like the players with the least amount of loyalty to that franchise.
  19. He fits the mold, hate to say this but the last thing we need is one of our superstars taking a glove to the face or being chirped at and not doing a single damn thing about it, Being soft is a thing of the past with this franchise and I hope it stays there. Petey, Hughes and Boeser seem to not have the sandpaper that Horvat has. Every ones projection of a captain is different, I really do feel a combo of grit and skill with leadership is the right candidate. Horvat fits that.
  20. Your perception of Bo is off balanced listen to the interview or watch the interviews. If you're Canucks fan you can easily see past it considering who he is as a player. Would you rather him say "Nah im not a good captain I shouldn't have it, to much pressure." His game shows captain material, He has all the leadership perks to be a captain, before he was even drafted by Vancouver his scouting report had him as captain material/ team leader.
  21. This one I'm kinda bummed about, Shannon was tolerable when reporting.
  22. His hot takes were below average, he is easily replaceable. I'm actually kind of happy I wont hear him on Sportsnet.
  23. I remember everyone remembering how choked they were in all the previous Hunter Shinkaruk threads, 'member?
