Younger, faster, hungrier, and ready to do what it takes to win. Make it happen Benning. This core has had all the chances they deserve.

Ever so slowly we are finding the pieces that could be the future. Horvat is a keeper. Love the way he plays the game.

Canucks need to rebuild properly.....

Where are you man?

For the record, I am HAPPY that the Canucks let Ballard go. A win for both sides.

All I want is a little heart and soul play from the Canucks.....digging deep and showing some hatred for losign....is that too much to ask?

I can post again.....now you guys are all in trouble!

I`m back so feel free to PM me.......but apparently I am a mute as I am not able to post anything in topics....lol

I'm Back.....Sort of....

I agree about not panicking. I think there needs to be demonstrated improvement in the preparedness of the team though. Otherwise it is not panic but necessity. The status quo is the right solution until it becomes obvious things are not improving. AV is on the cusp on that one.

Wow CanuckEDGE......I don't know about that, but I certainly appreciate the compliment!

Where are you?

Thanks for the kind words on my profile SID. I can assure you that I also appreciate that you take time to think about what you write and that you find interesting articles and stuff for us to discuss. We do seem to agree on a lot of things though.....great minds think alike, I guess! Anyway, just thought I would say keep up the good work on CDC. You definitely make the place more interesting!

Thanks SID. I appreciate it. It`s nice to know that someone else agrees with some of what I say anyway!

Great job with using stats, analysis, and evidence to back up your posts! Your stuff is always a thought-provoking and interesting read.

Great discussion on the "shutdown checking line" topic. We may not agree, but it's good to get such a lively (and respectful) discussion going. CDC needs more of that, imo.

I definitely think Bieksa is going to be traded. I also think we will get a decent return for him though considering the premium that is being placed on defensemen right now.

Man, I'm glad that Hamhuis thing is over and it worked out! I'm sure Smithers is buzzing right now!

I agree that Hamhuis would cement our D core for a long time. I would love to see him here, more because I remember seeing him his last couple of years in PG when I was living in Vanderhoof. I think (surprisingly) many people are underestimating his potential to be a top guy. I really think he can take the next step and I hope it's in Van.

Montreal is my first choice because they are Canadian. San Jose would be next, just because I think they are a great organization who have had so many let downs over the years that it would be nice to see them win. I dislike both Chicago and Philadelphia and want to see them lose. Of course, I hate Chicago the most, especially right now!

Thanks!

I don't cheer for the Rangers (and never will). I can see why you might think so, but my username is not a reference to NY.
