  1. And not thinking he's God, the ref, and the linesman, making that offside call, arm in the air, skating out to the blue line when the refs didn't even call the offside and when Boston walked him and filled the empty net, cost us The Cup. Frick'n Fat Head.
  2. Never forsake your Valkerie Maidens Sverige; the English are just, at best, Anglo-Saxons anyway.
  3. To quote Our Fearless Leader (of the New "Made" Canucks) Gary Bettman: 'Twas always thus. (Yet I fear Shakespeare said it first.)
  4. Ron Delorme is the Stan Smyl of the Scouting Department. Nobody messes with Stan and nobody messes with Ron. It always been that way. Where are you from? Another planet? (Delorme was a force for us.)
  5. Anybody wanna come back on and claim Frankie's a tightwad? What has he laid out in severance etc? We are going All In. It doesn't mean sell all the picks and prospects. We have to work with what we've got and what we can add. It means brass tacks, balls to the wall, kick out the jambs, etc. Let's get in; and let's make some noise!
  6. Found this, hope it helps, (lol): There it is again. The Aluminum Falcon. $&!#. Is it happening again? Deja Voodoo? Twilight Zono? $&!#, that was quick! My question is, What number will Noah Juulsen wear tonight? Big ups for this young man. A trip back in time... and space .. .. ... . .. ... --- ... Team WHL leadership group announced for 2016 CIBC Canada Russia Series CANADA RUSSIA SERIES by WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE CALGARY, AB – The Western Hockey League, in association with the Canadian Hockey League, announced today that Everett Silvertips defenceman Noah Juulsen will serve as captain for Team WHL in the 2016 CIBC Canada Russia Series, which begins November 7 in Prince George. Drafted in the first round, 26th overall, of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, the 19-year-old Juulsen serves as captain of the Silvertips and has amassed 10 points (4G, 6A) through nine games to start the 2016-17 WHL season. A product of Abbotsford, B.C., Juulsen previously skated for Team WHL during the 2015 edition of the event, managing one goal and a plus-3 rating in two games. In 200 career WHL regular season games, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound defenceman has collected 100 points (22G, 78A). Some more blah, blah, blah (unless it interests you): Team WHL will face Team Russia in Game 1 of the 2016 CIBC Canada Russia Series in Prince George, B.C., on Monday, November 7, before continuing on to Edmonton, Alta., for Game 2 on Tuesday, November 8. The Ontario Hockey League will host Games 3 and 4, while the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will welcome the festivities surrounding Games 5 and 6. The six-game series features regional league teams of Canadian National Junior Team candidates competing against the Russian National Junior Team. For the third straight season, the event will open with two games in the WHL. Since the event first began in 2003, CHL teams have played to an overall record of 54-18-6 against Team Russia. The competitiveness of the rivalry has grown in recent years with four of the last six series decided in the final game. Russia earned their first series victory in 2010 and have since alternated annual series victories with the CHL who earned the 2015 title by a 12-3 margin in points. The event is an integral part of the identification process for Team Canada prior to the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. Canada was represented at this season’s World Junior in Finland by 21 CHL players who competed in this series in 2015, while 13 members of Team Russia’s series entry also competed in Helsinki earning a second straight silver medal. The 2016 CIBC Canada Russia series is supported by CHL associate sponsors Cooper Tire, autoTRADER.ca and Sherwin-Williams. All games will be broadcast nationally on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

Go Noah Go Reg says, "Lean on 'em, let 'em know you're there" *** and kick the door down. *** Some poster prior reminded us of this quote from Slapstick but I can't remember whom; so WHOOMP BRUCE, THERE IT IS!
  7. Maybe its like, 'we don't get BB if JB is still here' or something. BB helps bring JR and the new 'team' gets to decide who will be GM. For me, it is just that I love this team and JB built it. Wish we could have kept him on board in some capacity. And I wish this team was a whole heck of a lot tougher to play against. Soon to be, hopefully.
  8. We need way more than 6 defensemen to get through the regular season, the playoffs, and the Stanley Cup Final. We need as many as we can get and keep around, eager for their chance to help the team Win The Cup.
  9. You can see why BB respects Hunt and vise-versa, in this video; upbeat team guy who really gets it. He's got a chance to stick (for now at least) and both he and BB know what he is capable of.
  10. If you missed this; play it again. Conner is on top of everything. [This keeps nagging at me: If we love all these players, why couldn't we keep JB on the team again, maybe just not at GM, I mean WTF?]
  11. This should be required viewing. I wanted us to draft Luke, was elated when we had him a couple years (and Cups) ago, and this video, along with his solid play, shows why.
  12. If it is right after he missed in the shootout, it kinda fits with his frustration this year. BB's on it.
  13. Go NoAh Go Go No, Ah, Don't Go, wot? Go No Ah, what was I saying? Nevermind. (Really looking forward to his play; if healthy, he may really help us.)
  14. Looking forward to lots more rain. (Because we have Noah on our side.) Noah Juulsen: Sweet Home Abbotsford October 14, 2021 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Abbotsford Canucks News Release Abbotsford's favourite son has returned home. The Vancouver Canucks acquired Noah Juulsen from the Florida Panthers as part of the return package for Olli Juolevi. The 24-year-old defencemen is a former first round pick of the Montreal Canadiens and he is excited to be back home in Abby. "I'm excited to be here," said the Fraser Valley born defender. "Abbotsford is my home town, and my friends and family are here, so it's awesome to have this opportunity." Noah has had an extended absence from the west coast, as he has not called the best coast home since his junior hockey days with the Everett Silvertips. The former captain of the Silvertips appeared in 240 Western Hockey League games, netting 30 goals and amassing 94 apples. He also spent 149 minutes in the penalty box and posted a +48 during his career in Everett. Additionally, Noah put up five points in 25 postseason games. Juulsen's best season came in 2014.15 when he registered 52 points (9 G, 43 A) through 68 contests. His strong play on the ice caught the eye of scouts from across the National Hockey League. The Montreal Canadiens were enamored with the young man and decided to select Noah with the 26th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. "A big part of my game is being physical," said Juulsen when describing his style of play. "I like to make a good first pass but I think the biggest thing people look for in me is just being physical on the ice." The 6'2" blue liner made his NHL debut with the Habs in 2017.18, appearing in 23 games as a rookie with the legendary franchise. Noah spent the 2018.19 season split between the Canadiens and the Laval Rocket. 2019.20 brought the first significant change to Noah's hockey career, as he was shipped to the Florida Panthers. Juulsen spent the next two seasons in the sun and sand as part of the Panthers' organization before getting the news this week that he will be retuning to his hometown to play for the Abby Canucks. "It's like a dream come true, to come play here" said Juulsen when asked to describe the feeling he had when learning of the trade to the Canucks. "I didn't think it would happen this early in my career but it seems like this is going to be a great opportunity for me. I can't wait to get out there on the ice." Health has been the biggest hurdle in Juulsen's development. The physical tools are there for him to carve out a role at the NHL level, but injuries have limited Noah to just 46 games during the previous three seasons. The most devastating of all his ailments was a facial fracture he suffered with the Habs that included nerve damage to his eyes. "My goal for this year is just to start playing hockey again," said Noah on his goals for the upcoming season. "I haven't had a chance to play very much the last few years because of injuries. It hasn't been ideal. I'm pretty excited about having the opportunity to come here and have a role on this team." The most recent change of scenery promises to provide Noah with a fresh start in a spot he is very familiar with. He owns a home at Cultus Lake and has family throughout the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. "I'm used to this environment," said Noah on his level of comfort playing in Abbotsford. "I know the rink well since I played hockey here as a kid, so I'm just excited to get a chance to play some games here soon. I'm excited to have an opportunity to build my confidence and find my game with the Canucks." The opportunity to play professional hockey in your hometown is a rare one. The Abbotsford Canucks have a number of BC born skaters that will be playing critical roles this season, but no one is closer to home than Noah. If you're planning on attending a game this season at Abbotsford Centre, keep an eye out for Noah's friends and family as they will likely be spending a lot of time at our barn this winter.
