  1. there are tons of tough smaller players, from many moons ago but Smyl, Williams, Rypien all tough as nails and not sure on the size of them but they were not heavy weights from their time in the league but all of em were FEARLESS
  2. So refreshing to hear Boudreau speak, well informed experienced coach...I am excited to see how the rest of the season pans out!!
  3. There is a history of Boudreau and Staal, he played quite well under him in Minnesota. Could Bruce convince Eric to come up to Canada for the season?
  4. As a fan I am happy to hear the Canucks owner speak and what he is saying, I have to believe what he says and we will see how this evolves going forward. It sounds to me like he knows they have made some mistakes, now is the time to address that so it does NOT happen again. Thanks Aquilini family for bringing in an experienced coach, I am excited to see how the team performs and the direction the team is headed with new management in place in due time... Go Canucks Go!
  5. Apparently Boudreau wanted Walker on his staff, I believe that is the case anyway
  6. could flip Nash at the TDL for a late pick to possibly...more picks = more swings at getting an NHL player, asset management!
  7. How did OJ even go in IR, did he get hurt practicing with the Panthers? Congrats to Connauton for carving out a decent NHL career, has made over 7.5m and as mentioned is a former Canuck
  8. he is 66 and knows the camera is on him, I would be careful not to biff it and land on my head for my first skate out with my new team
  9. I would say yes, cause you love to watch the game of hockey...through the good and the bad unfortunately!
  10. They are the media they get paid to speculate. I doubt any team sends a memo to all teams saying hey, we are thinking of firing our coach...
  11. haha, its just a thread to talk about the game, who cares about long ass initial post...drove me nuts and I never bothered to read them no offense to the people who made them I just went to page 2 from the get go. Also, don't like it make it yourself and fill it with "stuff" you like...
  12. Well heads did roll so now it is time to cheer for the Fresh start the team now has!
  13. I don't want him here either, but damn the name calling will likely draw the attention of the Moderators no!?
  14. I like to think its all the transplant people who now live in BC but are from other areas of the country and grew up fans of other teams and come here to crap on everything....unfortunately I am probably dead wrong with that! Fans have passion here, good AND bad...It was a long 8 years and we have a few nice pieces from that time but many holes still, hopefully we get a President and GM with experience and full authority to do as they see fit!
  15. Kings played in Edm last night and won 5-1, hope the boys come out flying and get a couple early 1st period goals to start this "fresh" era off in the right direction!
  16. I completely agree with you, if your on this site and don't know 99% of the current roster then you might want to invest a bit more time learning who plays for the team you CHOSE to be a part of the Canucks forum
  17. Yes, I am sure the owners have been talking to him and he was likely already in town when we played the Penguins
  18. Agreed! See how he does under Boudreau now!
  19. Welcome head coach Bruce Boudreau, I am excited to see what you can do with this offensive lineup of players. Welcome former Canuck Scott Walker to help behind the bench and welcome back 100g scorer Alex Edler. Go Canucks Go! There should be some excitement for this team now with a fresh face behind the bench with nearly 1000 NHL games under his belt. This is the GDT, sorry if you folks like animated pictures, line ups etc...we know who we got on the team, feel free to post updates
  20. You are correct, believe that was right after he came on board, could be wrong tho
  21. It is FITTING that you got to start this thread given your username. I know many here might have wished for a throwback coaching hire in AV, but personally I am excited to see an offensive minded Boudreau come here with 0 ties to the organization. It is only a 2 year deal, BB is 66 I think I heard someone on radio say so he won't be coaching for too much longer most likely. Looking forward to his interviews and of course what he does with our team...we have the offensive players Boudreau just needs to get the offense out of said players.
  22. Smyl is a placeholder and is going to help the team interview and find a new GM and maybe even a President of hockey ops?
