  1. I wish you were correct, but sure looks like he will be with the Canucks to at the very least start the year. Would like him gone too, can find a good pk player for far less, or you know give that opportunity to another Canuck
  2. never eat bread or pasta again tho? Or Birthday cake!? That would be impossible for me! I need to cut the pounds tho...
  3. Lucic can't be waived, NoMovementClause unless he waives it like the trade
  4. Hard to see a GM giving JB much trade value wise when they all know he is in a dilemma to move players off the roster by opening night. What was with the poster saying Graovac makes the roster...Not a chance he beats out Jake, Goldy or Gaud. LE should be waived like another poster said and give him 29 days 9 games to see what he can do. By then, Roussel will be back possibly so just send the Mop to Utica and bury him for 3 years. Time to move on and have younger players who can contribute more than maybe kill a penalty all while not making close to 6m But LE will be on opening day roster, be shocked if JB waives him
  5. If Green doesn't see Virtanen on the opening day roster, have to think JB would be working the phones looking for a trade. If he is sat as a healthy scratch it lowers his value. Or it is just a hard wake up call for Jake. Just because we took you #6 overall it doesn't guarantee you a roster spot or ice time. I truly wanted to see Jake succeed, but with how he is deployed and how little he seems to engage in the game its super disappointing to see. Hopefully Jake can get things going when the season starts, but who knows what will happen...
  6. Gaudette has done equally as much or more offensively I'm sure than what Motte did last year to earn a spot on the roster. He will have to play RW not C though. So if Gaud is sent down, this management isn't making the so called "Hard" decisions they said they would make with player contracts and roster spots. I see no chance that Schaller remains with the Canucks, he is a sure fire player to go on waivers in my opinion. With the 2 concussed boys that delays having to possibly make more moves. I want to see the highly overpaid Eriksson go on waivers and be sent to the AHL. But, I don't see that happening with how much he played in the pre season. Could be a Goldobin who may hit the waiver line soon or possibly Motte?
  7. so if it was regular season Tierney "would" drive the player into the boards? Or just bad choice of words...too many pucks to the head and not many brain cells left? I say we just go after Chabot or whoever is Ottawa's top iced player tonight, EFF it's pre season...Maybe MacEwen can drop the gloves and destroy someone, wont be serving the suspension in the nhl anyway haha
  8. Is McCoshen not the player who slammed EP to the ground last year? or some other florida player?
  9. The Goalie from last year who we dealt a late round pick for because he had no G depth haha. Mazanec? key acquisition by us, he was included in the JT Miller deal! My pick would be McCann, loved that kids wrist shot and wheels, wish we could have seen what he could have turned into as a Canuck. Hoping he has a big year in Pittsburgh!
  10. The blame is NOT on Coach Green. He may say something like just play the game, but if a teammate got run over, or hit from behind do you honestly think he is going to bench or suspend you for standing up for your fellow teammate!? Give you head a shake, that to me is when you know your team has gelled and has each others back!
  11. Did we not have a good PP in 2011 and try the what I like to call Sedin tactic to let opponents punch you in the face, low bridge your teammates all so we could make them pay on the PP and in the end get the last laugh and win the cup? Last I checked we have been getting run over for years now and the team still chooses to take this "high" road that leads to nothing for us. The league has changed without a doubt I dont disagree with you but you still have to be a man and stand up for your teammates, doing nothing is like turtling like a coward.
  12. So if Virtanen does this to Chabot in Ottawa...I wonder what would happen, Borowieki or however you spell it is a bit an arse to play against would he retaliate?
  13. JB was not enforcer management guy for Boston, it was ChiaPet. we saw that when he signed Lucic, Gryba, traded for Larsson and Kassian. We will never be a physical team, kind of sad, I love watching that kind of hockey and you need a decent element of team toughness come playoffs
  14. To be honest I am not surprised to see Coach Green respond the way he did. CDC has to remember Green played in the NHL and probably got run like that or saw worse in his day as a player. The team is still soft, last night proved that. Twice in a single game, a meaningless game might I add not a single Canuck player did anything about either hit. Leivo had a great view of seeing Boeser get run into boards looked and then continued to play. Like seriously this SEDIN don't have a back bone and turn the other cheek has to end, it never got us anywhere when they were here and it won't going forward. It's just going to lead to a bad injury to a top Canuck player eventually...Then it will be too late to react
  15. Tomorrow... Too bad the team had all game to deal with it and chose NOT too. If they go after a Sens player tomorrow the NHL will punish the Canucks for sure.
  16. Sad thing is Benn was playing and I thought he would be the type of guy to stand up for his teammates, apparently not...Sad times really, we have some young talent how do you think they all feel seeing this happen to 2 teammates and the rest of the team keep playing and do nothing about it all game. When nothing happens its will just happen again...Fantenberg in the 1st, no reprocutions...Boeser later that same damn game. Wake up Canuck players!!!
  17. Shouldn't matter who on your team gets run, you go after the opposition immediately,drop the gloves and fight them to show you don't take any crap. Here is just yet another example of team SOFT Vancouver letting players get hit, doing ZIP and saying oh well we will make them pay on the PP... You dont need to ice goons, but you DAMN sure need to have a back bone and stand up for one another. This does not happen for the Canucks. Luckily Brock likely isn't hurt this time...and even though Fantenberg is a depth D you still don't want to see any player get run like that. It's sad this the new NHL, I miss fighting it was an important part of the game in situations like this. But hey we scored a few PRE SEASON PP goals, that'll show teams to not run our guys anymore...a Effin meaningless game and still every player with a whale jersey on did NOTHING! One day, this mentality is going to bite us so hard in the ASS, likely when we are a good team in the playoffs and lose one of our top players for the series or rest of the post season
  18. Canucks trying to make $ off of the game by putting it on the youtube channel haha
  19. The only reason I mentioned it was he is 8 years younger than Biega. Biega likely clears, he has before for us who wants a 31 yr old fringe at best nhl D who is considered undersized. I like Biega, he has carved out a nice pro hockey career but if he couldn't crack our depleted D core for the last few years on a nightly basis he ain't a everyday NHL D
  20. Regardless I think we should waive LE and hope that for some reason he will leave Millions on the table and not report and decide to retire or terminate his contract. If he does that we save 6m in cap space, if he doesn't we bury 1m and let him ride the bus, maybe he gets a call up during the year when injuries happen. Could he play in our bottom 6,sure. All he really does is kind of a decent job on the pk to some people. I just dont want the floater on our NHL roster period But, like many things in CanuckVille I don't always get what I want haha!
  21. Was the Salt Lake game no in the same rink as the Olympics? Abbotsturd had the Lames AHL team, surely they had cameras at that rink. Stuck having 3 channels on Blue jays baseballe and some who gives a crap euro soccer game instead... At least its on canucks.com stream, too bad my laptop is so old it doesnt have an hd port so cant hook it up to the tv
  22. Another unreal signing by TB Less than 1m more than Boeser 4m less than Marner- who Laffs only bought 1 year of UFA Too bad it doesn't matter how good the contracts you sign are you still have to go out, compete all regular AND Post Season to win the Cup. I could care less what any Canuck player makes if they actually can hoist the Cup, that's all that matters to me. I want 1 Cup victory before im old and senile...
  23. McKeown would be worth a gamble for a team. I would grab him and waive Biega or Fantenberg
  24. Gaud might get sent down as he doesn't need to clear waivers. So if he is 1 then the other 2 off that list for me is Fantenberg and Schaller. If we keep Gaud up as a Winger then Goldy is the other guy we waive
