  1. Halfway mark of the season and 6 of the 7 Canadian teams would qualify for the playoffs.

      Even if's an anomaly, it's positive signs for fans of Canadian teams.

      And the one team that's doing the worst was touted as the best.  What's wrong with the Jets?  Shouldn't they be better, considering all the talent they have?

      Get's worse if Laine is out. 

  2. So the question is, next season, is Markstrom and Demko good enough, or do the Canucks sign a goalie when all the dust settles after the expansion draft?
  3. Have a look at Zack Kassian, maybe shoehorning people into categories is the problem. Zack seemed to try and play a skilled style, when management and coaches wanted him to be a power forward. Zack will probably never be a Cam Neely, or Todd Bertuzzi. But he can be a useful forward that gets you 20-30 points a year. If Virt plays physical, creates space and gets 30-40 points a year in a couple of years I'll be more than happy. I just want him to be a big physical forward, that is hard to contain, and smashes people into the boards, and gets points. Jake needs to just be the best player Jake can be. Not worry about labels.
  4. Is there a reason the Canucks don't have prospects central anymore?
  5. Baalke is fired from the 49er's so who's gonna fire Kelly?
  6. I want Bryan Adam's Guitar. 

  7. Not voicing support for WD. But he's a prospect at age 26, and 2nd rounder from 2009? But WD does things that make you scratch your head.
  8. Clearly we need to draft more Danes. I guess we'd need more visor spray if we did.

  9. Felt good to be at my Brothers and Sister's for the 24/25th. Being up and around and walking, considering I was stuck in Hospital most last years holiday week. That's my Christmas gift. Great to see my nieces kids running around.

  10. NFL following NHL's lead? Busta deal, spin the wheel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiciIXFiGbs
  11. Guess it depends on the hill, and the road conditions.
  12. I have one thing to say about Blade Runner 2049.

     

     

  13. Yeah I figured it would be slush from what I saw outside. So I drove in and took me 90 minutes to work. But I have to say I'm happy with he traction my Jetta had. Considering the right lane on Granville looked like a parking lot for buses.
  14. OMG Slush. Then Rain. Where's my jet ski?
  15. Well the reason I hate picking up players from the Pats in my pool. When I need them to help my pool, they have a quiet game.
  16. I never figured out the counter flow lane. It seemed to really make no sense. If you think the Massey Tunnel is bad, how about the Lions Gate Bridge? Opened in 1938. It only has 3 lanes. Honestly, in the 1990's they should have went with the plan to build a tunnel underneath Stanley Park to the North Shore. Used the fill from the tunnel to put on the land at Coal Harbour, and build additional acreage in Downtown Vancouver and the money made from the real estate help pay for the Tunnel. (Provided of course it's earthquake proof, and its like 8 lanes with capacity for an additional 2 and rail...) I still don't understand why they can't keep the Tunnel open AND open a Bridge? That way if theres a problem with either one, there's at least an option for commuters to take an alternate route.
  17. Holiday Movies: Die Hard: ***** That is just for Rickman's performance alone. On Her Majesty's Secret Service: ***** Merry Christmas 007! Yes it has Lazenby, but I love the movie. Diana Rigg plays a great if not one of the best Bond girls. The ending! Scrooge/A Christmas Carol: Off the charts. A perfect Christmas movie. Christmas Eve tradition for me. Dated effects, but still a perfect movie. Alistair Sim is so good. The Lion in Winter: ***** A little something for everyone, intrigue everywhere. How O'Toole didn't get an Oscar seems so damn wrong.
  18. Jake seems to be picking up some good habits in Utica. Scoring, forechecking, responsible in his own end. He seems to be having fun and getting confidence from what the Utica reports say. My opinion of Green has improved dramatically as he seems to be getting Cassels, Pedan and Jake to turn the corner. Once again though I'm just not sure Subban will ever be a really great d-man. However I think it's time to see what he can do on the wing. (Sorry if I sound like a broken record over that.)
  19. One of the best parts of the Vancouver Giant's season! Malm is a pretty good 17 year old. 5'9" 180 lbs. 16 points in 30 games. I hope he gets bigger and better.
