  3. Looks like the player we got for Burr was a serious steal. TSN panel is legitimately pissed off at how one sided this deal was for the Canucks. Good job Trader Jim!
  4. Another diamond in the rough on a team that has had success with project players. I like him too.
  5. Alex Burrows is one of the best examples for what great determination on part of a player, and his team, can achieve in the NHL. Burrows is the epitome of outside the box talent development success stories of the last decade, across the league. Undrafted, scouted in the ECHL, #1 ranked PKer for 2 years, to playing on the first line in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. His career is legendary to the Canucks and their fans. In my opinion, he should retire a Canuck, and join the consulting team in Utica.
  6. Burrows had Ribiero putting out his hair in the penalty box. He will be missed.
  7. Good to hear. Was very surprised he slid to where he did in the draft.
  8. Brent "Broke My Back Picking up a Cracker" Sopel
  9. As much as it pains me to say this, Burrows would best serve this team as trade bait.
  10. Waste of a buyout. 1 year left? UGH
  11. Trying to paint a massive group of people with a single brush stroke is so 1930's Italy..
  12. Looking forward to a system that is interpretable by the fans. Just what did we witness in the past season, anyhow?
  13. Pounding round pegs into square holes for 82 games, and this is the result. This squad was assembled, and played for the previous 5 seasons, as a puck possession team. A puck possession team, asked to play an aggressive puck pursuit game, means you have half your squad out with injuries at half season. Exactly what happened.
  14. His system sucks balls. Who wants to watch that garbage for another year?
  15. So if the fans' chanting last night had anything to do with this.. start chanting WE WANT THE CUP again please.
  16. I agree on the reffing. It is so terrible that words can hardly describe it. Its like they are keeping track of points in their head and once a team goes over a limit, only know to them, and also a limit that seems to fluctuate, and also a limit that seems manipulable by the fans if they boo enough, then the team gets a penalty. The phantom calls are what REALLY peeve me off about the reffing in the NHL. I can make do with the missed called. I can make do with the weak calls. But the phantom calls? There needs to be an off ice official that trumps phantom calls. Phantom calls are a blight on hockey.
  17. It was tasteless. I don't think theres a better C on the team though...
  18. Too many project players. Coupled with terrible player assessment internally. Gillis is not the only one that has to go.
  19. They have the glib suits lined up around the block. Its not about the game. Its about telling people you went to the game. Dincha know?
