  1. Damn... SJ scored. C'mon Detroit... let's tie it up and get to quad overtime :P

  2. A little disappointed by Adele's new album. Good, but not great.

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      It'll be played in its entirety during the next home game.

    2. The Lock

      It's not always easy making great albums; plus, no matter what you do as an artist, there will always be someone who doesn't like what you're doing. For example, Metallica changed: people complained. AC/DC didn't change: people complained. lol

      Wonder what Judd Bracket and Thomas Drance think of Adele's new album.  

  3. Seattle has one game in hand, which they are currently winning. If they close it out, the expansion team passes us in the standings lol.

    1. Rubik

      Rubik

      Florida won't go down that easily though... especially at home

    2. Patel Bure

      You are on record as saying that "Seattle would have a more impressive first season than Vegas did" and so you'd better hope that Seattle passes the Nucks in the standings.  :lol:

  4. Remember when we allegedly only sucked because COVID and "tough" North Division? lol

    1. Wolfgang Durst

      Wolfgang Durst

      right man, right.

      COVID and the tough North Divison- both were excuses, of course.

      Now we know that the problems are much more fundamental.

      Thanks for bringing this up.

    2. AV.

      AV.

      but but but the GM said this and he would never lie unlike the evil DRANZZZZ and DOLLY WALL !!!

    3. Patel Bure

      No one ever once said that the North Division was "tough."   Once again, you are making $&!# up because that's what your leaders MS and Y2K at HF Canucks have instructed you to do.  

       

      As far as this year goes, the Canucks would have been a middle of the road team had Pettersson and Boeser not completely fallen off a cliff.  So - if you or your "clan" at HF accurately predicted that Petey and Boeser would completely tank this season, then kudos.  From what I can tell though, "your people" predicted the following:

       

      1) OEL would be a train-wreck.

      2) The OEL-Myers pairing would get hemmed.

      3) Dickinson would be an upgrade over Sutter, Beagle, and Gaudette as Dickinson had pretty good defensive metrics in a number of defensive categories from an analytics perspective (this was touted as one of the "few good moves" that Benning had made throughout his tenure)

      4) The Canucks would struggle mightily 5 on 5.

      5) Our team would be overly reliant on its Powerplay

      6) Our PK would suck.

       

      So congrats - "your people" got #6 right, and #4 to a minor extent.  

       

      Not one of you guys however mentioned anything about Pettersson or Boeser.  

       

      "Your people" are standing there in pretention claiming that "we told you that this would happen," but the Canucks are failing due to completely different reasons.   I have no idea what happened in the lorckerroom in 2020-2021, or what went on behind the scenes in the 2020 off-season, but something must have definitely happened.  

       

      Other than letting Toffoli walk and being overly loyal to Travis Green, I can't see a single mistake that Benning made post 2020 bubble playoffs.  Nate Schmidt for a 3rd should have been a steal.  Hamonic, on paper, wasn't that much of a downgrade from Tanev.....only difference being that Hamonic came with much better term and money.  Holtby (a 1A goalie) was required in order to help insulate Demko into his new role as a #1.  

       

      Even this year, guys like Garland, Hamonic, and Demko shouldn't be that much of a downgrade from Toffoli, Tanev, and Markstrom.......except with the former three, we have much more favourable term and money.  

       

      Demko faces a lot of high danger chances, but not to the extent that Markstrom was facing in 19-20.    

       

      But hey - if you guys predicted that Pettersson, Boeser, and Dickinson would be complete non-entities this season, then more power to you.

  5. Corey Perry bought out ;)

      You don't know what you're missing. It was a helluva BC Lions game tonight. Why does it always have to be NFL or CFL? Why can't people like both? Geez.

      I love both....a football game is a football game and if you missed the one last night, you missed a doozie! :)

      But Mike Kafka had a good game taking over for Vick.

  9. It's too early to be awake.

  10. That great defensive play Raymond made in the last minute... he used his size and strength to take away Kelly's lane. Now why can't he just drive the net the same way instead of going behind the net or falling. You can do it MayRay :P

    1. canuck2xtreme

      canuck2xtreme

      Raymond isn't scoring but he's playing great and contributing. He's been an unsung hero this playoff season, quietly making big time defensive plays.

    3. Tough As Salo

      Tough As Salo

      I agree. He adds a lot of pressure to the B's defense. He's been nothing short of valuable.

  11. EpicMealTime drippin' some choc-a-late sauce:

  12. AV said that Henrik wanted him to call timeout so Hank and Danny could switch jerseys so Hank could take the faceoff off the icing call, that's what made AV laugh. Gold.

      letters and numbers should stay very VERY far apart at all times....except on Scrabble tiles.

  14. Almost a perfect game, still can be a no-hitter. Starting the 9th inning (Sportsnet).

      too bad he doesn't love u back =S

  16. Emotionally drained after the first series... need more than 2 days to recuperate. :P

  17. Why did the Canucks pay a 1st rounder and what turned out to be a 30 goal scorer for a player if they weren't going to play him? Bad scouting? Underperformance? AV is a moron? Rome is a future hall-of-famer?

    1. Apricot

      Apricot

      Last one. Rome is a future hall-of-famer. You and I are the first ones to call it.

    2. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      It's a little bit of underperformance. Grabner was a great player, and the Grabner Kesler Raymond line was a beast. Terrible waste.

      everyone wants to be the GM. ...i'll settle for GILLIS and AV's decisions...they know hockey.

  18. PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAYOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  19. Holy crap, less than 24 hours away. Don't know if there is a word to describe the level of excitement.

      Captain Bob

      It's always been there.

  21. Why is everyone scared of the matchup? Being afraid of what team you are going to matchup with is for bottom seeds, not President's Trophy Winners. There's a reason why the Canucks are first in the league.

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Not this time not this year for the sh..hawks , Canucks will guarantee that :)

    2. EB²

      I saw this a while back and lulzed my socks off. His other vids are funny, the lego ones are the best.

  24. Officially have the NHL's "all-diver" team now. :)

    1. Venom52

      Venom52

      Naw man, we would need Franzen and Avery for that to be complete

    2. Brad Marchand

      Brad Marchand

      Burrows-Lapierre-Avery

      That line would drive teams absolutely nuts.
