[Suspended 1 Game] MacEwen to have hearing for kneeing Oilers' Nurse
thundernuts replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
OK, but is it suspendible? Again I think this is a grey area. Once you have 2 willing players, that are willing to break the rules to fight each other, at what point do further rules kick in to punish extra, dirty plays? We’ve all seen extra punches thrown after a fight is won, we’ve seen hair pulling (sorry Burrows, but that was a weasel move), even biting (not blaming Burrows for that one). These things usually warrant extra penalties ( which I think Nurse received), but generally not suspensions. I’m not one to defend the league, and I’m certainly not defending Nurse. Just not sure that there are rules, or precedent for a suspension due to a dirty takedown. -
[Suspended 1 Game] MacEwen to have hearing for kneeing Oilers' Nurse
thundernuts replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
TBH, I don’t know what the rules are for takedowns in a hockey fight. This one certainly seemed more aggressive and dangerous than most, but are there rules in place to govern that? Not that I’m aware of. Likely, it’s just part of “the code”. As in, “please punch each other in the head, bearhug, and wrestle each other to the ice like gentlemen”. -

Inconsistency is definitely an issue, and has been for a looong time. Perhaps they did make the call to cover therir asses, but it was still the correct call. Can’t knee a guy in the head when he’s down. -

Watch the link that I posted from the league. It is pretty clear. https://www.nhl.com/news/vancouver-canucks-zack-macewen-suspended-for-kneeing/c-324454092 -
Video link from the NHL: https://www.nhl.com/news/vancouver-canucks-zack-macewen-suspended-for-kneeing/c-324454092 As much as I dislike the Oilers, and get frustrated with the inconsistency from the department of player safety, they seem to have got it right with this one.

https://www.nhl.com/news/vancouver-canucks-zack-macewen-suspended-for-kneeing/c-324454092 If you watch video, it seems pretty clear that McEwen tried to knee him in the head while he was down. Suspension seems fair to me. -
Glad this is over. So much drama over a 5-6 dman.

Edler To Have Hearing Today [Update: Suspended 2 games]
thundernuts replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I was actually expecting 3-4 games, but given this is a shortened season, 2 games seems fair. Definitely not malicious or intended, but a dangerous play non the less. Hopefully Hyman doesn't miss much time. I prefer when a fully healthy Leafs team loses. -
[Speculation] Teams Calling on Schmidt and Motte
thundernuts replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don’t think they should trade him. I just don’t think there is any way possible that he could be traded for a 1st. -

thundernuts replied to CRAZY_4_NAZZY's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If these are the returns that you expect, I think you'll be disappointed. No way Motte gets a first. Pearson, might get a 2nd, but I doubt Hamonic does. Sutter might, if the Canucks retain salary. -
(Rumour) Virtanen on the trade block
thundernuts replied to Wayne Glensky's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Funny how this website can take a quote like the one you posted, and turn it into the article that I have linked below. What garbage. https://www.nhltraderumors.me/2021/03/rumor-canucks-and-ducks-close-to-multi.html?fbclid=IwAR3nLCUvGX31NnbEIkZPcDsVTCVxZeMTWNrrjaK8UScIxojx9oGReMo9Se0 -

In Jr., he was a man amongst boys. -

Not seeing the connection here. Virtanen is a bust so replace Green? -

He has not been given every opportunity, nor should he have. Opportunities are not, and should not ge given. They should be earned. -
This sucks. I liked/disliked many 1040 hosts over the years, but they were always my go to station for sports talk. 650 just isn't good. Even their Canucks broadcasts are cringy. Horrible when this many people lose their jobs. Even harder when there is an emotional connection.

[Signing] Canucks sign Travis Hamonic

Great Value! -
Man, I hope we don't lose Eriksson or Baertschi to a waiver pick up. Poor Asset management.

I hope Louis Erikisson goes to an anti mask rally. Edit: I do NOT want Eriksson to catch Covid! Just a tongue in cheek joke for how his contract could be terminated.

[Official] 2020-21 Minor Signings Thread

I can see the Bure sized elbow pad mark on the side of his head! -
I like the colours, and I don't mind the orca being used, but I really don't like the diagonal design on the sleeves, and the colour fade on the main body of the jersey. I vote with my wallet, and I won't be buying one. Go Canucks!
