  1. Learn something every day (they say, no idea if true): meaning of valor name and Vedder; thanks Western Red.
  2. I love Hoglander but you are correct, he came from the 2nd round and still needs more development; you don't just get to stay on Petey's line unless you really earn it. This Kuz-EP-Podz line is going to kill. Kill I say! Kill! Kill! Kill!
  3. Me too; Podz has taken yet another step with his stellar drives to the net, using his great moves and strength to 'go where he wants to go, and do what he wants to do'. And all three can skate, deke, pass, and score; they're gonna light it up!
  4. A year from now, 4 games into his new mega contract. I think JT has no place on the PK and no place in OT 3 on 3; too slow, stays in the O zone too long and is prone to the bad pass to the other team.
  5. Happy B-Day; now let's go get Devron that win boys! Order In: BB's 600th on your birthday comin' up.
  6. Pick me up a new pair of rose-coloured glasses would ya; mine are getting a bit worn out by these PGTs.
  7. Recent successes of Dickie vs how he absolutely could not skate (see: training camp skate drills) he looked like a stick man and did not even hold his head high and try. We're well rid of him and Stillman fills a vacancy at 3LD; Chicago didn't really want Dickie, they wanted the pick.
  8. I am glad to see they're having (have had) a players only meeting. When I first read the title (old eyes; old brain), I thought it said: Canucks hold Prayer Meeting! Yikes! And then thought, that's what's wrong: they're Churchers! Like your "God" has time to help rich pro athletes but not to feed the malnutritioned and sick children all over the world. Hand back the Rez School Records Mr. Pope; the jig is up.
  9. Yup! Start of the 2022-2023 Bruce There It Is Winning Streak! Let's GO! [Drop the puck already (before everybody gets to "work", where they spend all day on CDC, lol).]
  10. I put up a GDT for today Oct 20/22. Hope its not another Daily Double.
  11. [GDT] Thursday Oct 20/22 Vancouver Canucks (0-3-1) @ Minnesota Wild (0-3) at Xcel Energy Center 5:00pm PT SN360 SN650AM The "Right Way" EDITION: Heads up boys, JR's in town and he's not impatient, yet. Listen up boys, play the right way, and do what you're told. If you're on the penalty kill, kill the penalty (as in, don't let them score, and do not take a penalty yourselves). If you're on the power play, get off the ice as fast as you can on shift change, and before you are tired (and do not take a penalty yourselves). Do not give the officials any reason whatsoever to call a penalty on us, play SSC - Super Squeaky Clean (we have yet to earn our Contender Class Free Pass). Put the past in the past, prepare for every drop of the puck, every shift, every line change like your life depends on it; stay in the moment always (Puck! Puck! Puck!) Do not take your foot off the gas, not after goals, not after periods, not after 60 minutes, not until the game is over; period. Play like a team, pass, pass, pass and show up for each other, and stand up for each other, and give it all for each other, all the time. Now, let's go! And let's win! And let's celebrate! And let's get on the plane home with 2 more points in the bag. NHL.com Canucks @ Wild Preview: Minnesota gets bad bounces and poor results to start the season 0-3 (from therinklive.com): LINEUPS TO FOLLOW FROM VINTAGE (I HOPE). A collection of stuff that some CDC-ers don't want cluttering up the GDT: This is Our Time boys; time to right the ship; and play The Right Way! Don't let anything stop you, from playing The Right Way! Win, win, win, every faceoff, every board battle, every shift, win one for Bruce Boudreau, his 600th win, and come home with that in your pocket. GO CANUCKS GO! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO! LEADERS: LEAD! AND LEAD THE RIGHT WAY! JUST WIN BABY, AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY! (Let's have a happy PGT!)
  12. Aye, therein lies the rub. Name this "quality 2nd pairing RD that can kill penalties effectively and make a huge difference in our ability to win games" we are to receive for Garland please. Please also consider the motivation for his current team to part with him, along with consideration of both teams' caps etc. Nobody want to give up draft picks, or our best prospects, or best young players, so where does the value present fairly to the other team. It's not a video game where 2 smartasses get to make trades like ordering a pizza. Hmm, good idea. I'm out.
  13. Yes it no. lol, I kid. Of course we did not get blown out! Some of the time in all 4 games we were a threat to blow them out. (Given, just not in da turd.) You have to play well enough to be up by 2 goals before you can blow a 2 goal lead. Krikey! The 3 goal lead we blew in UpChuckmon was everything we wanted; great hustle, execution, IQ, made the coil look like, well, a coil of Darnell. The last game we took them to OT and were well deserving of the point we got. The impatient kiddies and the blogs and talk shows they listen to blow out the hyperbole in some kind of keyboard ego thing. Lean in, and listen carefully, THE SKY IS NOT FALLING!
  14. Let's at least wait until we get a couple games in back home before we conclude management is remiss. It is not exactly a do things market out there and hasn't been for quite a while now. I believe they are on it and that JR is not going to devalue assets in any kind of panic trade/move. Yeah, I'm a homer etc but this is most likely the best management team we have ever had, including my favorite Pat Quinn. To make substantial moves right now you have to (more or less) match cap to cap, so you might have to take another player back, give up futures, etc to acquire a good defenseman, let alone couple of defensemen, which would more likely have to be in another deal. If they are about to do something, I would assume they are going to wait to get BB & staff and all the players back here first. Get all the heads together and do the right things, one of which sometimes is wait a bit.
  15. I don't know about grain fed boys but I'd take a hard nosed Canadian over a soft Canadian.
  16. Very true; that's why I suggest all management and players get on top of this asap. Once we get back home I guess. For now, it's up to the management on the road trip to get a grip on it (and strangle it out of there)!
