  1. i once scored 5 goal in a single shift... the highlight of my hockey career as a 7 year old
  2. will horvat's replacement be racking up the points? if not then why would that matter? how about if his replacement will keep up his FO percentage? because if he doesn't then it actually hurts the canucks to send him down.
  3. and got destroyed in the process. mcanlly had no points though...
  4. how do you burn half a year of a elc? that's not a thing
  5. with our lack of defensive depth, i doubt he sees a better opportunity worth his time/risk of going UFA. it could end up biting him in the ass, plus the canucks have been developing their relationship with him, and helping him develop his game, telling him what to work on, etc. plus you have the stigma of being a diva when you pull that stuff. there's a big reason the vast majority of ncaa players don't pull this stuff, it's usually not worth the risk.
  6. hutton went right into university after the draft, he's not eligible to pull a shultz. he's going to have to wait until August 15th if he wants to go UFA, about a month and a half after the feeding frenzy of free agency, which lowers the incentive significantly.
  7. he's trending in the wrong direction.... just like the flames
  8. harvard (McNally's school) plays boston college (Demko's school) today at 4 pacific. you can pay for a stream or listen to it for free.

  9. we call it bad sportsmanship, they call it monday. different cultures, different societal norms.
  10. it's the second part of that sentance that people think is crazy... you know... " but that won't happen given the circumstances of the Kassian trade"... that part. the current GM doesn't care about the circumstances of a trade that the previous gm made. he doesn't need to save face for the previous regime.
  11. no broadcast in the USA unfortunately. i'm guessing no legal stream either?
  12. yeah bo's only misstep came in anaheim when he tried to stickhandle it out of the zone. other than that he's been pretty solid.
  13. he was in, but i didn't know until the announcer said he took a shot on the net. he didn't play much
  14. OR if lack has a horrible year and he is able to be snuck down through waivers like was markstrom this year.
  15. Markstrom would be lost on waivers next season, as would lack and miller, one of those 3 need to go by the start of next season, unless you plan on keeping 3 goalies up.
  16. lu was available for a full year...
  17. to draw out his 9 games so they don't have to make a decision until after the WJC?
  18. it would have been, if they had a decent support system in place for him to continue to develop properly. as it is right now it's them overplaying and hanging out to dry Cory because they want him to be brodeur 2.0 and them lacking the team systems in front of him to support it. they clearly did scramble when they went for cory, as nobody pays that much for a goalie anymore.
  19. i don't think they even bothered to think about goaltending until suddenly brodeur was on his way out. then they suddenly scrambled and were like , WTF do we do now?
  20. so horvat might be sitting this one.
  21. he might be sick (flu from Sbisa?) or it might be giving him some extra rest from that shot block in denver Ben Kuzma ‏@benkuzma 7m7 minutes ago With no Bonino, who blocked a shot in Denver and took treatment, #Canucks lines in morning skate are 22-33-17/20-53-14/27-15-9/51-7-36/
  22. funny, looks like bonino is out for burr's return: Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 4m4 minutes ago No Bonino on the ice for the #Canucks. Lines in skate: 22-33-17/20-53-14/27-15-9/51-7-36. All D on the ice.
  23. i know people forget, but Lain was also supposed to take the opening faceoff in that torts debacle, until bieksa stepped up and stepped in, knowing full well what was going to happen.
  24. you didn't know? i thought it was common knowledge, i'd be surprised if the rookies don't know it's going to happen.
