  1. Umm...you're on a Vancouver Canucks website.... a team from the lower mainland specifically. By your own words...that would make this the exact 'place for that'
  2. Respect your view. I guess I just think we are closer to contending than some. A passionate leader and top line centre...we need at least one and I like the option to move Petey around, nevermind him being young and going through his own inconsistencies right now. So, do you think Bo might be in play? what return could we get for him?
  3. Read an article. It might have been just hot air from his agent but it was around the time when local media were doing their ....well, that negative stuff they love.
  4. it's nice to have someone here that also deals with PF. It is really cheap and my main reason is convenience too, also where my training partner is. Though I might start twisting his arm to move somewhere else. He's in insane shape, ex marine, pro fighter and personal trainer. So, he knows how to get results...if PF is good for him then maybe I can get with the program too. I keep telling myself..'its the samurai, not the sword' I can reach my goals at any gym, just gotta put the effort in.
  5. I dont know about all your questions. He's our top centre that likes Vancouver. I dont know how you know if he wont be better in the next few years...he hasn't shown signs of slowing down. I see our window of big success closer to 2-4 years away so I think he will still be good. Lots of 30+ players in the league are currently producing well. If we trade him, it better be for another centre with the similar intangibles.
  6. I disagree. I think he is has been overthinking his play. I also think his wrist has bugged him for longer than he has let on. Seems to be back to form lately though.
  7. I do like my dumbbell training. I find dumbbell presses and flys very rewarding. I also find cable stuff getting me decent gains. But I dont think a Smith machine is good enough for deadlifts which I wanted to explore more this year. I might join a second gym for day 6 to work on fun heavy lifts.
  8. I read that JT loves Vancouver and has never discussed wanting out. He has been praised for his off ice contributions. Leadership in the room etc.. He also has two daughters. Raising them in BC would be desirable. It's the best place on earth.
  9. Plenty of regret trades too. I will continue to get attached to the right pieces that I believe could finally get us to the promised land. With this core, for me that includes Hughes, Demko, Miller and EP. Would not risk losing any of those 4. I'd like Bo to stay too but I put Miller just ahead of him. Though I think he is good, I'd package Brock with someone to bring in a decent RHD
  10. Good efforts in the last few games while missing so many key players. Too bad we couldn't have gotten the two points for our hard working tender. Nice it was to have heart and soul Miller back. What a difference that player makes.
  11. I'm with you. We finally have a durable point producing leader with some snarl and many are like...'ohh, what could we get for him? He's gonna cost more than I want to pay with AQs money. Oh and he yells sometimes, kinda scary.' We move him, we need someone just like him back.
  12. A good communicator that understands developing players as well as the contract side extremely well. Apparently very passionate about the game. Her deceased sister once told her she would be managing the Canucks one day. I support this hire.
  13. Joined a Planet Fitness. It's cheap and have a bunch of extra crap like a spa and tanning beds. But the equipment is weak sauce. No barbells. None. For bench press or squats you have to use those smith machine type deals. The dumbbell and bench area is small for some reason so you have to grab a bench when you can. Meanwhile they have a million treadmills and ellipticals. My training partner wanted to join there so I have done so as well. I drive his son when he is out of town every 4 days, he works at the prison in Vic. When i see him later this week, I may start the campaign to find somewhere else.
  14. Atta girl. Was a massive Deftones fan back in the day.
  15. Literally the 'Latte factor' https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-latte-factor-why-you-dont-have-to-be-rich-to-live-rich_david-bach_john-david-mann/19949430/item/35726844/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAubmPBhCyARIsAJWNpiN_MNwKE1goK_s9CjAk-SZlWhWbRTZNSFo9XX6IuQYlCHEb970XKwkaAtxzEALw_wcB#idiq=35726844&edition=21233163
