  1. Some guy on 650 just said DiPietro is a better athlete than Demko. Also said DiPietro (more likely) will be out future #1.

      Usain Bolt, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods are probably a better athletes than Demko too.   None are a better goalie (nor is DiPietro).

  2. Just found out EK is a shark... with EK, CM97, the Flames, Kings, and VGK in the division we are in really tough..... but maybe this is for the best. Jack Hughes is a possibility and our young guys will learn quickly.

      @Zoolander, it isn't "when" with Kings....they are in full on decline that will continue next year.   Ducks could be there as soon as next season as well.   Knights will take a step back - the question is how much.

      Game is played on the ice, not in fantasy pools.   Having great players is one thing, having them be a team is another.   Further, Sharks have gutted their future and their win window is now pretty tight.

  4. Canucks alumni David Booth throwing haymakers on Twitter tonight. Oof.

  5. Depression is a SOB. It makes the smallest problems so overwhelming and seem insurmountable.

      @Cramarossaand others - great you are talking about it - even on an anonymous board.   I played with two guys that all outward appearances were the happiest guys in the world - one is no longer on this planet by his own hand and the other one is somewhere in Ontario and likely either drunk or high and running out of couches to crash on given when he gets "bad", he is so removed from reality he doesn't bathe, brush teeth or even change his clothes for days and days.   

       

      Realize that there are people who either love you are care deeply about you and open up to as many of them as you feel you can.   Sharing depression is hard but I know I would loved to have helped either of my former teammates if ever asked as I learned about both long after we lost touch.   Help is there.   I also know that the last thing you need to hear is that "don't worry, it will get better" so I won't go there - will just say, the more you share your burden with others, perhaps the load will be just a wee bit lighter.

       

      Sending you positive thoughts and crossing fingers the excitement of the young Canuck team you get to watch this coming season will be something that gives you sun on days when you have a hard time finding some in your soul.

       

      Cyber buddy hug.   Hang in there.   :)

  6. i was out cutting my neighbour's grass with my rid-em-mower. got too close to her car and ripped her back bumper off. another neighbour came over and snapped it back.

    though some damage, it looks normal. she is happy anyway. i'm such a dim bulb. 

  7. One of those nights I guess. Went to bed at midnight and no sleep so far over 5 hours into the night. Just giving up at this point with less than two hours before my alarm. Might be an interesting day at work...

  8. what teams might finish lower than us in the standings this season? 

    1. Rob_Zepp

      Rob_Zepp

      All of the ones with fewer points than the Canucks - and there will more of them this  coming season than last.

  9. Can't wait for these student loans to be paid off so I can dump $750/month into savings rather than a black hole. :rolleyes:

  10. OMG...Corrado is still available as a UFA!!!! :lol:

  11. Summer on CDC - not sure what it worse, those bashing the team even though it has yet to play a game or those comparing young players and prospects who have not even played a single NHL game to GOAT (Orr) or HHOF locks.   Both are essentially trolling the board but somehow the latter is almost more annoying.

  12. i'm thinking of giving up my license in two months and giving my malibu to my grandson.  probably will be hard to do but i plan on it anyway.

    1. Rob_Zepp

      Rob_Zepp

      SJ - your grandson would probably love it.    Just don't follow it up with some Clint Eastwood stuff on the neighbourhood gangs or anything.

  14. How many points (individually) do Pettersson - Horvat - Boeser put up, if they play 5 on 5 and the powerplay together?

  15. Drove 5 hours today for a 3 minute doctor visit... 

  16. Hello....

     

     

  17. Live stream of Boeser's Da Beauty League game (he's #6 in green on Team BIC): 

     

  18. I see the bright lights
    It's the month of July

  19. I'll be the roundabout
    The words will make you out 'n' out
    I spend the day your way

  21. Anyway to get rid of the one warning point on my account? 

     

    Since Templeton Peck is no longer active.

      I earned mine and it was from Templeton and I cherish it greatly.   Why would I want it removed?   The troll who took the bait is gone.   Badge of honour :lol:

  22. I sincerely feel like the Coyotes are playoff-bound next season.

     

    They are putting together a good young core and finally incorporating some vets for guiding the kiddos.

  23. Is Steve Dangle too stupid or too ignorant to realize what the Canucks are doing? He should just stick to Leafs coverage because he is horrible at covering other teams. BTW Leaf fans think the Beagle and Roussel are 2 Matt Martins. ARE THEY THICK? 

  24. Nylander, Horton for Tanev and 2018 3rd? 

    1. Rob_Zepp

      Rob_Zepp

      Tanev's value is skyhigh right now given the dearth of UFA Dmen, his age, his contract AAV and his underlying stats in terms of defensive play.   My guess is Benning will have LOTS of offers this summer and will not need to listen to any that don't blow his doors off as by next TDL teams like the Leafs and their upcoming CAP h*ll will be looking for players like Tanev and willing to give up even more than Nylander.
