@NewbieCanuckFan How would you have described Tanti as a player, then? Was he one of those guys like Brendan Morrison who had his best career years because of the line he played on? Or was he still really good at doing things to create space, did he hit? fast? BTW, this thread has been awesome. We need a Canucks Nostalgia Fire Side chat thread, I am a nostalgia nerd and constantly come across players I have questions about. Just the other day I read a cool story about how Troy Gamble was supposed to be the guy and it came down to Kirk McLean wanting it more and earning the spot whereas Troy sort of fizzled out, but was a huge prospect.

@diesel_3  Kind of like a Luc Robitaille (but with better skating ability).  Knew how to find the "right spots" and/or good anticipation.  All he needed was the 'right center' to feed him the puck (and that guy was Sundstrom).  Bear in mind, this is from the perspective of a non-teenager (*me* lol).

Yeah Troy Gamble was like a Eddie Lack - lots of potential.  But he just couldn't get over that final hump to the 'big leagues' like at least Eddie Lack did.  That's why goalie prospects are pretty risky.  Good thing the Canucks (unlike what Burke said "goalies graveyard') have been good at developing goalies for a while now (gives me hope for Demko being the future starter).

I hope Boeser (other than staying healthy heh) could find that sustained magic with EP (though in Boeser's defense, he seems to be able to score no matter who is center is - he just can't stay healthy).

Thanks D3

Intermission show with Gagner crying like a baby how floating around like an entitled bum has put him in the AHL where he belongs.

is it too far fetched to think, next years blueline would be;

hughes...tanev

edler...stecher

juolevi...gudbranson

           ?

@smithers joe Not at all, I like the looks of that.

eventually, woo can take gudbranson's spot and another high draft pick could take tanev's spot and brisebois van push edler out. 

Tag?  Why not Jag and Taden.  Tag?

It's only a bad name because now it's illegal to get him out of bed in the morning.

It'd be kinda neat if we drafted him tbh

he was taken right after Madden

wow he did drop

and jb passed on him

Ya, i'm not unhappy about the Tyler Madden pick, though. Solid value.

So filthy that you have to keep watching it over and over and over

@chon derry Aw no way! Sorry to hear! Did they live on Church street? That is a beautiful area, lots of character homes still in tact! I didn't grow up here, only been living here since 2012 and I love it!

@diesel_3  no birch st.  by the forested   alley and the golf course  nice and quite close to the mall. yes they had a nice retirement there. they loved the gardening thing.

@chon derry Oh, even better! Only people driving down Birch would be people that live there, nice and quiet, did a couple jobs on Birch when I was with Telus.

He's too busy taking the Team Canada snub out on the rest of the WHL.  2 hat tricks in the last 4 games with a total of 11 points in those same 4.

I think he's angry.

He boarded Gudbranson pretty good in preseason. Not in my good books, wherever he's from.

Oh ya, that's the guy who hit Gudbranson. Hope he makes it, good kid! Also hope Gudbranson gets some revenge when he makes it!

Also some good, but simple, advice for writing... write in the active voice and not the passive. Your instructor will subconsciously mark you better. Passive voice sounds awkward most of the time, and is considered bad writing (even if technically correct).

EG.

Active - Jason just kicked the ball.

Passive - The ball was kicked by Jason. 

One of the saddest, but most useful things I learned through University is that you give the Prof. what they want. With such a huge work load as a student at the time, the path of least resistance was: don't argue and regurgitate. 

That and my name is Jason... and I wasn't kicking any balls... =P

Of course!

I've been golfing for 30 years, I still don't have a hole in one.  Congrats!

It was at Sunnydale in Courtenay, Hole 17, 161 yards! (Par 71)

In Japan, if you don't have Hole-in-one Insurance, they whack you & harvest your organs.

A few weeks ago!

o: congrats!

Oh ya, I have an old painting respirator but I have a huge beard and it wouldn't have sealed properly, figured a 2 part primer then just a matte black tremclad would do the trick, up close there are some blemishes, but i'm the furthest thing from an artist haha.

Great look. What's your guess on the weight?

That's sweet!  Love the satin black look with the chrome. Like an old hot rod. 

That show is great so far.  Misses and I digging it.  

That show got me into having a smoke during my swim.
