    An unproven goalie who hasn’t shown very many GOOD let alone great games? He might be good one day in the NHl but that’s not this year.

    An unproven goalie just won a cup this year, care to explain? Goalies are wild cards you never know when they can come into their own. Demko's stats as listed above are good considering our woes on D last year..

    Stecher and Schenn were pretty reliable and consistent. Hughes was, for a five game stint, pretty exciting. 

    Two of those guys played a combined 23 games for us, I agree though that Schenn Hughes tandem was one of the brightest points of the Canuck's D last year, but that's not saying much. 

     

    Just thankful the names of Del Zotto, Pouliot and Gudbranson are gone forever..

    Heard over the weekend that #Canucks & #Blackhawks had discussed swapping the 3rd and 10th overall picks so Vancouver could jump up to get Bowen Byram, but Chicago wanted Van to take D Brent Seabrook and the remaining 5 years/$6.875M AAV on his contract. Thus the deal died.

    GARBAGE!!! All of them!Won't be buying any of them. I only buy Johnny Canuck merchandise as the team is named after the lumberjack. Not a killer whale! And no Johnny Canuck jersey to boot! Had a perfect opportunity to draft a player at the the draft being held here and viewed buy millions and put a Johnny Canuck jersey on! Called MARKETING!!! Even a Johnny Canuck jersey as an alternate third for 10 games a season would have made sense! Team owners Aqualoonies are totally clueless! In all my USA travels I have had so many hockey fans come up to me complimenting me on my green Johnny canuck jersey. They tell me tell your team to throw it on a jersey and we would buy it! Long time 11 game ice pack holder here. Disappointing to say the least. Supposedly Aquaman loves the constipated looking orca. Why not name the team the Vancouver Orca's instead?

  6. The Cavs just got a bunch of pylons for the end of the season to let Lebron do whatever he wants, its clear that he always wants the ball and rightfully so.. But that ego of his certainly why IT and Kyrie we shipped without a doubt. I.T is Lonzo's back up that's how far off hes dropped.

    I love watching the Celtics play because they are one of the only teams that play real team basketball (Utah and SA are the other ones). I am fairly confident that they can challenge GS

    In perspective 

    In to Cleveland:

    Jordan Clarkson 

    Larry Nance Jr

     Ante Zizic 

    Nets 1st

    Heats 2nd - 2020

     

    Out of Cleveland:

    Kyrie Irving

    Isaiah Thomas

    Channing Frye

    1st round pick 

     

    Quote

     

    In this story for Cleveland.com published just moments ago, Isaiah Thomas’ agent spoke candidly about the poor fit alongside LeBron James:

    “He’s worked too hard to get back, and he’s a ball dominant player,” said Thomas’ agent, Aaron Goodwin. “It’s LeBron’s ball, and this clearly wasn’t working. Koby (Altman) and I have had enough conversations where it was clear, with the way the system was going, it wasn’t beneficial for either party. This is a good opportunity for Isaiah.”

    Isaiah Thomas is a Los Angeles Laker

    Well, that escalated quickly.

    Turns out that Cleveland will be sending Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye to the Lakers for Clarkson and Nance Jr.

    Thomas has been flat out awful on the court since returning from his hip injury, which has limited his ability to do what he does best and fearlessly attack the basket to create opportunities.

    Normally his elite scoring ability offsets the fact that he is an F-minus defender, but if he can’t knock down shots— Thomas is shooting 36 per cent from the floor and 25 per cent from deep— his value is extremely limited. And this trade is proof.

     

    To make matters worse, Thomas has been extremely vocal calling out his Cavs teammates and coaches when talking to the media, which likely plays a part in Cleveland deciding to move on from him after just 15 games.

    It’s hard to recall a player’s worth dropping as quickly as Thomas’ has.

    Cleveland will also send their own 1st round pick (…not the more-valuable Nets pick) to L.A. as part of the deal.

    Once again Cleveland now has a major hole at point guard— they will likely try to fill it using Clarkson (or a veteran acquired on the buyout market), but the former Laker is more of a combo guard. LeBron James’ presence as a facilitator obviously takes some pressure off a player like Clarkson having to conduct the Cavs’ offense.

     

    So, in essence the Cavs traded all-world point guard Kyrie Irving for Larry Nance Jr., Jordan Clarkson, and the Brooklyn pick.

     

    Wild.

  9. Jaw surgery would be a pretty pathetic way to miss a season. Remember the days when hockey players actually looked like hockey players? Now they're all Bieber-ized trying to look sexy for the camera

    Who cares what they look like? Do you keep a hockey news magainze by your bed like its a playboy to detrime that these players look ''Biebe-ized''..

    Lace a set of skates up and let me take a few clappers to your dome, and then tell me after how the chin strap feels..

    I think ya need a rip bud.

  10. Anyone can go back a few pages and see what you actually wrote... and you think Schneider is better than Luongo? HAHAHAHAHA. The guy voted #36 on the top 40 greatest goaltenders of all time is worse than a guy who hasn't even played a full season? Wow you're delusional... LUONGO is elite... LUONGO is the best Canadian goaltender... LUONGO has proven himself to actually be able to win playoff games and keep his team in them.. Luongo is better at every facet of the game than Schneider is and you call Schneider better? Wow... I don't know what to say... This time I'm really done. Your posts are ridiculous and contradict things you've said in the past... Make up your mind and stick with it. Bye.

    You're really annoying hey?

  11. J Gar isn't Salo. but he's better than a puck n the junk. Great addition to the team.

    Pretty sure I've seen the name Garrison more in a shortened season then I had seen Salo's name in his whole tenure with the Canucks.

    Just sayin'..

    [sarcasm inserted]

  12. Ran into a few conversion problems with youtube tonight and there are like flickers of large pixels! WTF, lol. But i am so fed up, i don't want to deal with it. Enjoy.

    Great video.. the pixels actually kind of helped spotting him out lol.. He's got a mean release which makes up for his skating ability but it doesn't look as bad as some of the scout's suggested.

    None the less he's a big kid and with a mean mug, if he can have a face like that on the ice all the time he will fit right in with Bieksa.. he will be a feared centre in years to come.. I just wish he was older so he can smack around the new look Wild and some of those Oiler kids..
