Scottish⑦Canuck

I think they might be for real.

I think they might be for real.

Ok yeah, they're for real. I thought i didn't post it, so i clicked on it like 3 more times... Oops.

@VanGnome The line-up is currently set as such (ballpark of course).

Leipsic/Horvat/Boeser

Baer/Sutter/Eriksson

Goldobin/Beagle/Virtanen

Roussel/Schaller/ Gagner

Granlund filling in where needed.

Tanev/Edler

Gudbranson/Del Zotto

Pouliot/Stecher

Hutton/Biega filling in where needed.

Markstrom/Nielsen

Where do you see space for Pettersson, Gaudette, Dahlen, Juolevi, Hughes, or Demko making the team out of camp? The team is saturated with 3rd and 4th liners.

Stecher spending a month in Utica and Boeser being scratched for two games ultimately didn't have a huge impact on their pro careers, so I can live with short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. That being said, I think we'd all like to see Pettersson, Dahlen, Gaudette, and potentially Hughes in the lineup.

There are a lot of bubble players that the Canucks will have to make decisions on. I wouldn't rule out any of those guys forcing a more established player off the team. Even in the worst case scenario, none of those prospects are leaving the organization anytime soon, which is the most important thing IMO.

@Fateless

Pettersson - Horvat - Boeser
Baertschi - Sutter - Eriksson
Goldobin - Gaudette - Virtanen
Roussel - Beagle - Schaller
Leipsic/Gagner

Leipsic and Goldobin could very easily switch places, Goldobin is nowhere near guaranteed a spot on the roster. Imo today's signings have rendered Gagner beyond redundant and makes Gaunce even less.

Hughes - Tanev
Edler - Stecher
Del Zotto - Gudbranson
Pouliot/Hutton

Juolevi is still recovering/rehabing from off season back surgery, he won't be ready to play right away, and when he is ready he will start in the AHL, we may see him as an injury call up/in the event of a Del Zotto deadline trade.

Dahlen is likely to begin in the AHL and get called up in the event of injury/trade. Nilsson can easily be buried in the minors for 1 year if Demko is just that good and forces managements hand. Good problems to have.

Edit: Forgot about Granlund. Guaranteed there will be moves made this off-season. Canucks simply have too many NHL caliber bodies.

Did you take the red pill or blue pill?

OMG..I took the purple one....there was choices???

I think you might be color blind.

It's true. I died.

omg zombie poster!

I'm like CDC's resident Jesus.

Too real. I just got a job again after being unemployed for nearly 2 months. It's a good feeling.

Congrats SC (and AJ)! Good to see things are looking up. 

@smithers joe I start in mid September, which is quite good as I need to find a place to live and the Fringe Festival is on throughout August so things are crazy expensive right now. 

Chan eil ach beagan Gaidhlig agam

It's my mom's native language and I wish she'd taught us to fluency when I was younger though. So much easier to soak it in when you're a kid.  

The Dark Knight Rises > The Dark Knight > Batman Begins

Batman Begins>The Dark Knight Rises>(very slightly)TDK

I agree Batman Begins was the best MOVIE. Joker in TDK was amazing but he didn't make it a better movie than BB. I thought the new TDKR was many notches below its predecessors.

They used to do that years ago (think it was called Canada 3000 or something). Used to fly Manchester - Reykjavik (to refuel) - Calgary - Vancouver. Still only took 10 hours.

Christmas it just goes more expensive. Need to look to see if they fly to Glasgow in the winter and see how much that'd be. Just don't want to do a 10 hr flight then a long train / coach ride.

CA/AT seems cheaper from the UK.

They only fly to Vancouver from Glasgow May to September. Rest of the year I think it's just Gatwick.

Same as Manchester then. Meh. Looks like it'll be BA for us in the end (unless something crops up).

Already started Hodor. And yeah, I'll play GTA. Once the online game is launched. I've been casually playing the last 2 days but ended up a bit bored.

My parents asked me if I wanted to go to Germany with them and my brother for a few days. Which would definitely be cool (love Germany), but it seems like an unnecessary expense that I can't really contribute towards at the moment. Plus, I know the only real reason is because they need a (bad) translator.

I've only just started A Game of Thrones a couple of days ago, so not very far yet. I'm not sure if I want to go past where the show is. I like the surprise element that comes with not knowing what happens.

Yeah, Germany is great. I learned a little German in school and went to Munich and Bavaria a couple of years ago. Loved it. I was planning on going to Dortmund and Nordrhein-Westfalen early next year anyway for a soccer game (once I've got money behind me), so I'...

get the sheep sheared lad.

Are you two hooking up or something?

Spain are getting destroyed btw. I know you're all secretly interested.

3rd round of the draft > soccer

I don't think there is anyone here that doesn't like Smithers Joe... so count him out.

Double negatives, WHAT

Smithers Joe is a hero.

The Jubilee is like that show, Antiques Roadshow. The featured items are obsolete and useless, but people still get excited about it for some reason.

@ S7C - it was said on the coverage this morning here on CBC that specifically, the flotilla pageant today was not paid for by the people of Britain but by private sponsors and donations.I'm not sure how that makes the ROYALS selfish.....

That really doesn't change the fact that all that money could be spent on things that are of more use to people. The cost is ridiculous. Waste of resources.

Well you didn't break anything last time so I'd say you deserve another shot. PM Stealth.

this is the most passionate ive ever seen colondee

still your own doing

Haha, whatever.

Plus, I'm Scottish. It's part of my culture

English will not want to give up all that North Sea oil $$$

So they will have their own parliament, but still be a part of the UK right?

We already have our own parliament. The SNP want to break off from the UK and follow the example of a country like Norway.

Olias... lol.

Very clever

i did it in 10 seconds...is that an age thing?

if you want to be able to talk like a newfie, you have to be able to say these words...whale/ oil/ beef /hooked

Very best of luck and good wishes for getting through those two exams, S7C!!!

Thanks. And good luck to you too Redemption.

Good Luck on your exams today!

.. I ALWAYS avoid Cage movies, except Raising Arizona, which is classic ..

From what I've basically plays Liam Neeson without his specific set of skills.

I wonder where they could have taken that idea from?

D:

:D

Did... Did Dee just eat anti-Dee?

This looked like the canucks against the wolves today

England played valiantly and Italy looked a little tentative. Should be an amazing finish to the tourney Go GERMANY !!!

@Brad, its never a good day to be a man and named Ashley! @Scottish I hope Portugal makes it through..Ronaldo is so exciting to watch.

Probably. Why do you ask?

Of course we can. The real question is, will we?

We will. Kesler and Luongo key reasons as to why.

happy bday. you almost look 16 now! heh.

I'll have you know that I've aged terribly since that photo was taken... I look closer to 17 now.

And if I were to go anywhere in Europe on a "party" trip I'd go to Berlin vanfan. I've heard really good things about it. Plus I love Deutschland.

Depends on the price.

im worried at what they will giveup for clowne or is it clowe? hard to tell sometimes.

At this point and time I dont care. The last 4 years have been anti-climactic. Its about time we shook things up a bit. Im willing to lose anyone at this point for a good return.

happy birthday

excellent news!

Thanks guys.
