  1. OEL is a 5th defensemen on a good team at best. It's why the Canucks can't defend a lead, even with a good goalie. Spending 4.95 M for Garland and 4.75 M for Mikkheyev. Could have used a cap space for a defensemen.
  2. To be fair, Vancouver also needed D, and their last two large acquisitions were trading for Garland and Signing Mikheyev,
  3. @King Hoofty must be pissed! beaten by a team with an ECHL defense! Embarassing!
  4. Like your friend Todd Bertuzzi, Matt Cooke, Alex Burrows and Ryan Kesler.
  5. Funny you guys are making fun of the Oil. Canucks also fired their coach and GM this year. Are in a worse place in the standings. No first round picks the last two years. Also lost a few second and third round picks along the way. Signed Holtby for a year only to buy him out the next year. Signed Virtanen, then buy him out a year later. They traded for a top six forward when they also needed some defensemen themselves. On a given night this year, half their blue line consists of Kyle Burroughs, Luke Schenn, Brad Hunt, or some other AHL crap. OEL is here with a full NMC for the next 5 years at 7.3 m. Petterson has almost completely disappeared. Unfortunately for VAN, this is likely as good as it gets.
  6. embarassing for the canucks considering the oilers don't have a single RHD that can play in the NHL
  7. Going into the season, was most concerned about the defense, but they have looked pretty solid. Need some goals from the high paid forwards.
  8. Ya but Van is icing their starting line up and Edmonton isnt even playing their stars. I saw this movie last season.
  9. this is brutal. Mcdavid, Drastl, and Nurse arent eevn in the line up. Van has their full squad.
  10. if only we had Juolevi in the line up. He's a "top four" in Edmonton and Toronto.
  11. Q.Hughes - T.Hamonic OEL - Poolman Rathbone - T.Myers Juolevi - Schenn Which pairing is good defensively? Train wreck waiting to happen, esp with a 5 M goalie that has never played a full season as a No.1.. Brad Hunt is also more of an offensive defensemen.
  12. All those guys mentioned are bad defensively. We don't have defensively reliable d men.
  13. Kind of how I'm expecting the canucks to be this season. They'll be able to score goals, but when it comes to defending a lead, it's going to be a train wreck. No Edler. No Tanev. No Markstrom.
  14. Juolevi is more talented than Gaunce. You can see the vision, the passing ability IQ. I don't remember anything about Gaunce. Didn't bring very much offensive skill, and was not very fast.
  15. best play by play announcer. Was a big reason I got into canucks hockey. Made some epic calls.First time I watched was during the stars - canucks quarter final in 2007. Was epic.
