  1. Hoglander’s built like a fire hydrant and he’s twice as sturdy. We’re “lucky” his numbers are down this season with regards to his contract situation.
  2. If we lose because of nonsense like that it just fuels my delusions that we’re meant to land Bedard.
  3. Reeves was a guy I would have been fine paying 3 mil to put in his 10 minutes in the 4th line. During the “safe working environment” phase of the organization. I miss when we always had a serious goon or two on the roster and if you aren’t contending I swear it’s a good investment entertainment and development wise. Huge missed opportunity.
  4. To be fair, Benning was allergic to drafting defencemen so he probably would have picked a big winger who scored a lot one year in junior but whose skills likely wouldn’t transfer to the NHL.
  5. I was just being silly with the contract line… but I do have an irrational hate for Toffoli. That part is dead serious.
  6. I’ll never forgive Toffoli for not being offered a contract by Benning. I’ll take this grudge to my grave.
  7. Dries looked like he was going to block that with his face. one of those guys you kinda wish we didn’t need to have in the lineup but it’s not his fault. He’s doing his best.
  8. Canucks should have just piled on top of each other 5 high to create an impenetrable barrier if they were just going to stand around on the delayed call.
  9. I like that Marky mask.. and always loved Markstrom. It’s tough cheering against the flames when he’s in net.
  10. Fun game. Calgary turned it on but we’ve had our chances too. Expect us to come out and take back some momentum to begin the 2nd. Most inconsistent team ever.. need to capitalize when we turn it on again because you know they’re getting at least 2 more.
  11. I think Myers has been a good player over most of his time here but he’s had a rough season so far.
  12. lol at the Montreal comparisons. They just went to a scf 2 years ago. They have Gallagher (5 more years at 6.5). Price (4 more years at 10.5) and Anderson at 5.5 for 5 more years. They were lucky to offload Weber’s last 4 at nearly 8 mil. Any one of those contracts would have Canucks fans crapping their pants with rage. And our young talent > their young talent. It’s the team play that’s a mess.
  13. Some buyout talk on Twitter. People saying OEL are out to lunch because he directly needs to be replaced in the top 4 so the savings is moot. Especially in those two 4+mil dead cap years where we’d really need the money. On the other hand, two super buyout-able contracts are Poolman and Boeser, actually. Both are barely contributing and would give a lot of space. Hopefully they find a partner for Boeser but that could work.
  14. Management tried 7x8 .. would 8x8 get it done? I wouldn’t go any higher than that but I could see us making one last push before the deadline.
  15. Farhan usually has post-game-loss-radio-show-call-in level takes about the Canucks so this is nice to see. And I agree. Wish Bo all the best if he does move on.
  16. The next captaincy is actually a tough call. I think both Petey and Miller would chafe under the responsibility. OEL and Hughes could do it but neither seem like a good fit. Id seriously consider Schenn even on a very short term basis. Or one of the Russians. Just stick a microphone in Kuzmenko’s face even night. I think he’d enjoy it.
  17. They very well might be forced into it but who knows. Miller as a sheltered 2C if they can find a proper 3C who can handle big matchups and minutes might actually be better than what we have now. It’s a huge ask though and we’d have been better off with Horvat as the 2C in any case.
