  1. Finally caught up. Just wanna say Dries has been sneaky good for this team. Underrated.
  2. Detroit fans saying sketchy in his own end and having an inflated season this year offensively. Just what we like to hear! He'll fit right in! Buy high!
  3. Don't blame Kuzmenko. This is all Demko's fault. Like bro, you had probably 19 high danger chances against. How dare you! Haha jk nah I like watching this team win still despite how crappy the draft is gonna be.
  4. Got bored and wanted to edit this ridiculous photo of my two favourite current Canucks so I went with a comic book theme. Just kinda goofing around learning how to pull off the effect.
  5. Bo's gone now too?! Haha jk I heard that one can't believe I missed the Kuzmenko news.
  6. How the hell did I miss this news?! What great news! Great cap hit too for somebody who can play literally up and down your entire lineup. Wow.
  7. Even if Petey doesn't re-sign I'd still do Petey for 1 year. The kid has earned it. Easy no-brainer decision. Nobody else aside from Schenn is even remotely close to deserving it.
  8. My standards are the way they played tonight. A full 60 minute effort playing the right way. About 98% of the time this team does not meet my standards. I'd assume based on the math my standards are pretty high. So high that most people on these boards say I'm too critical of the team (because I did it when they were winning and I was able to predict this team turning into this) and I've been accused by a mod for not even being a Canucks fan despite being on these boards since before they were here because my standards were too critical of the players on the team. This team will likely fade back into playing lazy, but when they play good hockey they deserve the rare praise I give. Bad team or not, they played a great game tonight and competed for every single minute of it. Can't ask for more as a fan.
  9. We took a team that averages over 26 shots a game and held them to nearly half of that. They average 33 shots against and we spotted 48. I dunno. Seems like a great game to me, even for Chicago's standards.
  10. They held them to 5 even strength shots. That's cerebral, not sloppy. That hardly ever happens and it wasn't due to dumb luck. They just outworked their opposition. They'd win 8/10 games playing that way even competing against good teams. They forced their defense to chip pucks because they threatened the hits and established a physical presence early on, they got the pucks going up ice when needed and didn't have too many ill-timed attacks on the puck. If anything they just lacked execution and should have had a few more goals. Did Delia have more than two high danger chances against? And we missed on how many of ours? Hate the coach all you want but he had the team prepared the right way tonight. Bo played a great game but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn unless the net was empty tonight. Petey couldn't even release the puck tonight. Brock was unlucky not to score and most of our goals were earned the right way: dirty. The game wasn't flawless but it sure as hell wasn't sloppy.
  11. Finally a game where the team committed to playing the right way. Haven't seen that once this year. Did anybody have a bad game? Oh yeah, our goaltender. That's it. And it didn't even matter. We had one of those forechecking thingamajigs going tonight and one of those backchecking thingamajigs. So weird to see.
  12. It's almost as if when hard work and talent combine together you get good hockey. Weird.
  13. Not gonna lie, that logo is absolutely dope. Love that it's made to look 3d. Absolutely great design. Wish somebody would do this with the skate somehow.
  14. Rick Tocchet's #1 fan here... Yeah we gonna win tonight. We are gonna smoke these goofs and go on to win the cup. I'm only half serious here.
  15. I wish Adam Foote was the defensive developmental coach. One of two players (the other being Lidstrom) being able to stop the Sedins in their primes.
