I know what you are getting at, but it would be weird to celebrate your first anniversary on your wedding day.
Ha! I was just about to write the same thing

As much as I dislike Baertschi being waived, I find it interesting people talking about how well he performs when not injured. Everybody wants sutter and tanev gone because they only play half a season and say it's wasted cap space. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? Tanev is arguably more valuable when healthy. And maybe the same could be said about Sutter.

Humble brag. I think so
Haha, you got me. But I brag about my wife all the time, so it's nothing new.

This happens every year with several players. Look at canucks fans, each draft pick is the next (fill in superstar). Trading away a draft pick is dangerous for the player we get. They are then an easy target for a what could have been. Bo went through it because we traded away schneider for him. Look at the recent interview. He had a tough time at the start.
I predict Miller will be an easy one that fans jump on, if he struggles, because we traded away a 1st for him.
Jake's problem is he was drafted 6th overall. Look at how fans are with Juolevi.
It's a ridiculous occurance with fans. Expectations are way too high. Unfortunately, everyone (players) is tuned a little different. Some get it right away, some take time, so e need a change, and some never get it.
So to answer your question, it's because he was drafted 6th overall. If people would realize that maybe they should tone down there expectations, and let the players play, they may not have all this "hate".

Then again I did not harrass him or ask for a photo or autograph. From what I remember, he went on to have a pretty good game.
I've got a funny story about him not being focused. A few years ago I took my wife to her first game (she's Norwegian), against the Kings.
We had first row seats and got there early to watch the pregame skate.
As he was skating by he eye f@#ked the $hit out of her, then turned to look at me as if to say; how did you get her?
They went on to lose 6-0.

Sure know how you feel. Van's a place to miss. I was in Norway way back in 1990 for a few weeks. North..think it was called Bardufoss..little south of Tromso, if memory serves. Think every woman that passed by was a slim looker :^)
I live in Tromsø. Are you military? I'm asking since you mentioned Bardufoss.

Thank you for that. That brought a wave of emotions. I truly miss being in Vancouver during hockey season. Well ok, I miss Vancouver in general, but especially during hockey season.

This thread is becoming a bit too repetitive. I come on here looking for updates and all it is, is people spewing the same thing over and over again.
I get it, this is a forum, people discuss things, but now it's just getting silly.
(you see what I did there? I pretty much said the same thing three different ways, and wasted your time ;))
Can we not lock this, and start a new one when there comes actual news.

Williams wouldn’t be a bad move. Tons of experience, would be cheap/1 year, RW.
Williams is either going to retire or sign with the canes. Read that somewhere but can't find it again, and that was waddell that said that.

I wouldn’t mind Matt Zuccarello on a short term deal if we lose out on Nyqvist.
If we signed Zuccarello we would get a whole nation of supporters in Norway. They love him, and follow every move. It's a little bit ridiculous, though; how good they think he is. I mean he's good but not Crosby good as they assume... OK I'm exaggerating by that comparison, but it's to prove a point.

I wish I could move to Norway or some place like that. Maybe when I finish my computer science degree.
It's a great place to live. Fantastic quality of life

I still remember where I was when we traded for Luongo. I was at yvr making the move from Van to Norway. 12 years ago this summer. It was a pleasure experiencing your career, Lu. Happy retirement!

First off, I meant success in the playoffs.
Secondly, half those players are either retired from the game and played in a different era or played with players that had crossed the line/plays on the edge before.
Gretzky - Tikkanen, Messier, etc
Sakic - Simon, Lemieux, Deadmarsh, etc
Yzerman - Primeau, Shanahan, Chelios, McCarty, Lapoint, Holmstrom, etc
Sedins - Burrows, Kesler, Cooke, Ruutu, etc
Linden - Courtnall, Hunter, Momesso, Odjick, Brashser, etc
Crosby - Malkin, Cooke, Ruutu, etc
Ovechkin - He himself is a dirty player, Wilson
Stamkos - Hasn’t won the big one
Toews - Shaw, Byfuglien, Keith, Bolland, etc
What you said, and what you meant are two different things. Anyway, I’m not here to argue. I purposely picked players from different eras. And no matter what, you were talking about a specific player in lucic, and a style of play. I just pointed out players that play(ed) with integrity that all have/had made it far in their careers.
I understand what you mean, I just disagree with what you actually said.

As bad as it sounds playing with integrity never gets you far.
Gretzky, sakic, yzerman, Sedins, crosby, linden, ovechkin, naslund, stamkos, toewes... just to name a few that play(ed) with integrity and have (had) long successful careers...so, sorry, your statement is incorrect.

Time will tell I want him on the team as much as anyone but one more year of development would go along way .
Just a quick question, and excuse my ignorance since I’ve seen maybe all of 2 periods of the entire world championships, but has anybody dominated these world championships after 2 games?

HAHAHAHHAHA Seriously dude... You haven't watched a Canucks game in how long? You have this old idea of Burrows when he was trying out for the team about 3 seasons ago!!
He can't score? REALLLY? ORLY!? he's done it 26 times so far this season....
Kesler carrying his weight? dude that just proves right there you haven't watched a game in a while... he hasn't played on a line with Kesler in MONTHS.
I'm glad you yell at your TV like a complete fool though... that's hilarious given that you HAVE NO CLUE.
You must be trolling....
ahem... look at the date when the op was posted...

I didn't realize that was his dad. The company I use to work for almost went in on a project with him on the island when a lot of that sh!t was going down. Obviously we backed out.
