  1. Viktor Svedberg, 6'8" 238 lbs. UFA for Chicago. 

    Tram replacement?

      My apologies I was looking too far down in Cap Friendly, and got the wrong year as UFA.

      Looks like a decent option. I wouldn't mind throwing a flyer to see what he's got to offer. Always worth a shot especially a player at that size. Like wow!

      what flyer would you throw? forward or defenseman

  2. So I guess all the d-men prospects just moved up a notch or two?
  3. No argument there. But I do like how they updated her.
  4. The Sherlock series is amazing. I hate the actor that plays Moriority though.
  5. Looks like the poster to Tron. Disney coincidence? I think not.
  6. I think this was made by Twilight Sparkle.
  7. 8 points in 14 playoff games for a d-man is not a bad thing. Defensemen have usually a longer development curve. Let's review where he's at in 2-3 years. I just hope we can get a mid-round 1st so we can draft Cal Foote. Nothing wrong with building the team with some Kelowna defenders.
  8. The management of the Jays, and sticking with Gibbons is hurting this team. Gibbons turned me off of being a Jays fan. I'm not sure what it is, he just seems well...smug. He doesn't strike me as a good game manager, nor the kind of guy that gets the best out of his players. The move of getting Shapiro and the sort of behind the scenes power struggles has taken it's toll. Once the Toronto hype train and Gibbons is gone, maybe I can like the Jays again. In the meantime, there's still the Cubs. (I still can't believe they won the World Series. Guess it's like the Red Sox winning, it takes a while to accept the reality.)
  9. I didn't know Heaven was so....Vegas like?
  10. 15 minutes to warm up the bike. 

    15 minutes ride, got gas, and a tool around the neighbourhood. Feels great to be riding again!

      Get a nice road bike..like a Colnago or Pinarello. You're the engine!

  11. Charging the motorcycle battery. Hopefully YAUSA doesn't let me down. LOL. 

  12. I dunno, its ok if he was playing Bad Cop to Miller's Good Cop. But I wonder what he would fetch in a trade?
  13. I forgot how good Das Boot was. Reminds me of how bad current movies are.

      Great film, they just don't make em like they used to eh.

      Unfortunately, "Beerfest" has forever spoiled Das Boot as I no longer think of grizzled submariners when I hear "Das Boot" -

      Das Boot is fantastic....though decrying all current day movies does seem like something a ghost from 1915 would say....

      Current movies are awesome CHIPS says hi

  14. What kind of toughness do we want though? I'm already sick of seeing the Canucks getting singled out by the refs because we had guys like Kesler, Burrows, Torres, Cooke. I'd rather the team pound the competition into the boards, and make life miserable with clean plays, clean checks, and clean hits. Unless we can find guys like Donald Brashear who can skate, pot the odd goal or assist, and fight, but those are rare. Or a Jerome Iginla in his prime. Let Calgary have their suspendable forwards. I'd rather win games, and the Canucks turn into a team that's a pain in a$$ to play against. Less chirping. More two players go into the boards, and the Canuck player is the one that skates away.
  15. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres Summer 2018. Hopefully he'll grow up a bit more by then.
  16. Nothing's impossible. Edmonton has 30 goals on it's defence, and 20 of that is Sekera and Klefbom. If 20 is an expectation and likely 25-30 isn't out of the question. Depends on the lineup. I'm pretty sure if we get rid of the gaffes, and keep the puck in the attacking zone more, the numbers are going to go up.
  17. My expectations are very achievable. 15 goals, 25-30 points. If it's less but he hits, and is solid defensively and works well with Horvat and Baer that's fine. Anything more is gravy. Looking at the standings to make the playoffs, the Canucks just need to cut down the goals against by 0.5 goals a game. And score 0.5 more goals a game. That will reduce the goals against by 41, and increase by 41. Eriksson, had the best giveaway/takeway ratio, and can't have a worse season than this year. 20 goals is possible. Boeser: 15 goals Goldobin: 15 goals Boucher: 15 goals Sutter: 20 Granlund: 20 Horvat: 20 Baer: 20 Sedins: would average 40 points and can get 10-15, each. That alone tallies: 170 goals. The Canucks currently have 172. If the Canucks defence can manage 5-10 goals each that's 30-60 goals. That's not including some surprises. Things might be bleak, but they are certainly getting better.
  18. How many people leave college make $925,000 a year to start?
  19. But I wouldn't mind a trade to get Logan Brown though.
  20. Me like. Button was saying if he packs on some muscle, and when he grows into is frame, he will be awesome.
  21. Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Leafs by losing Anderson miss the playoffs. Despite Matthews.

      Then you know the League is rigged.

      It would be funny if Anderson wasn't injured and they still missed the playoffs.  Then they couldn't blame it on their goalie's injury.

      This is what I'm hoping for tbh, screw the Leafs.

  22. And less than 24 hours later he scores his first NHL goal. They grow up so fast.....
