  1. any updates on his recovery so far? I heard some people talking about his recovery being ahead of schedule, but that was just small talk between some friends of mine
  2. Good luck to Mr. Bubba and his rebuttle to this information eh...
  3. not the effort level I would have liked to see right from the get go, we made it close at the end...lost by 1 goal. But holy $&!#....you open the PGT and the sky has fallen after a home loss by 1 goal, wow many of you are far worse than me...that is why many never react to my post yet I see others get lit up with positivity, some of you need to relax...we can't win every game, we are a team with glaring holes and poor coaching, this is to be expected...just like years past people!
  4. Media is a nightmare in Vancouver...No player should have to talk to them, if anything the captain can talk for 5 min once a week to recap the team and his own play. Otherwise let the media talk to the Coach and GM mainly
  5. This exactly!!! Minus the PTO guy, he can go on waivers once Motte or Hamonic return. Then in practice start using Schenn as a F to lay big hits in the O zone...is what I would do
  6. Never meant in hits and maybe the word I used was wrong, but he is our best $&!# distruber who will get his team going by starting a scrum or not backing down...something the Charmins I mean Canucks have been doing for a very long time
  7. I would sit Highmore, put Dowling back in on the 4th and put Podz on the 3rd line and 2nd PP unit over Pearson. Boeser on PP1, Miller on PP2
  8. Disagree Mr. Vegas, losing Gadj and sitting Podz over some veteran who was on a PTO is not the best choice for those younger players, 1 is now on the Sharks who just happen to have some size and grit. When Garland is your most aggressive forward your team is soft as Charmin and will NEVER win a Stanley Cup
  9. Have the fans not been patient...how many years under JB?? Coach Green been here a while too and other than our lucky bubble run he has been worse overall than coach Willie D...yet we still kept him on as coach... Fans pay big bucks for licensed merchandise, tickets to live games, concessions, parking etc. I think some fans have had enough of the same old same old and want changes, big changes... Could this team eventually get to a level of the 2011 team, I hope so!! But like GM GIllis, the new GM will get the credit for the teams performance when it is good, not the prior GM's who drafted or traded for said franchise players...and the new GM will trade picks/prospects and hand out NTC/NMC just like GM Gillis did. Our team looks good on paper, we need to improve our PK and make a bold trade. But getting a fresh set of eyes in as GM and a NEW Coach will bring the best out of our current team...in this fans opinion.
  10. Love hear about Arseneau and how he plays, but I think he is on just an AHL contract so we would need to sign him to a 2 way contract and him go on waivers before he could play for us. I really like how Cull has coached our farm team, was really hoping we would have given him an Assistant Coach job with us to groom a bit more and then maybe take over for Green. Green was never going to play guys with size, that has been evident and for us to succeed long term in a playoff run his coaching style will not bring us a Stanley Cup. I am intrigued by Coach Cull, but would we hire a 3rd AHL coach for our NHL club in a row?? Think they might want a more experienced coach once Green is given the boot
  11. thanks, appreciate that. The big issue for us is if a game is on early we all can't watch it live, that is where cable and being able to record is what we use. Do the sites you use to watch canuck games have john shorthouse as the commentator still!?
  12. I know the feeling, having a 3 month old and been off work for 4 months with an injury... every penny does count but we can't not have Canucks games in our house, would be nice to have the baby Canucks too tho, maybe next year for us!
  13. I know its on AHL tv, but with paying for cable to watch and more importantly be able to record the Canuck games when at work (main reason we still have cable) I would like the same ability with being able to watch the baby Canucks. Holding out home maybe next year they will figure something out...
  14. Klim needs to stay in the A for sure, Podz should be in our lineup over Mr. PTO though, but we have an idiot of a coach so until he is gone this team will continue to make odd decisions with young players. Now its Podz, soon after it could be the new flavour of the month Klimovich...
  15. Sounds like our farm team had a good night, couldn't help but notice that they just have a johnny canuck logo on their helmet...so an NHL team worth 980m needs to sell ads on their helmet and next year jersey but an AHL team doesn't?? Also, is it not a HUGE BLUNDER to move your farm team to Abbotsford and NOT have proper radio or TV broadcasting of said farm team for the local fans to watch!? Hope that gets rectified soon, maybe CHEK a good local company can step up to the plate? They did give Dhaliwal and Taylor a TV show when that stupid eastern $&!#show of a company just pulled the plug mid show with ZERO warning...
  16. I can't see the posted prices...tried everything on my computer but it won't show post like DLC's, heard it was like $13-16us for a beer depending on size or brand, unsure if that was true. Canucks draft beet is around $8 or 9each I believe. The smart move is to drink and eat before the game, otherwise your night out to a game becomes real expensive!
  17. Podz NEEDS to PLAY...so frustrating when we have a promising prospect getting scratched early on in the season. He needs time to ADAPT and GROW with his TEAMMATES!! Will be a joyous day when we 1 day change coaches. I think we could be farther along if we had gone a different route after Willie, instead of hiring another cheap 1st time NHL coach. But some will say he could be the next John Cooper still right!?!?
  18. I hope Podkolzin gets back in the lineup and Mr. PTO sits...allowing a pto player to take away ice time from a young Canuck who has much more potential is just an idiotic coaching decision. You don't learn when you don't play...didn't we learn that with OJ, Dahlen, Virtanen, Tryamkin, Gaudette, Lind, Gadjovich, Grabner, Forsling?? When is Motte coming back!? GO Canucks!!!
  19. I thought it was just a few games during our 50th year? They should be our NEW everyday jersey tho! Other teams are going back to retro jersey looks from the 90s and fans seem to buy them up. Orca Bay logo has ZERO appeal to me and many friends and family I know that watch the Canucks
  20. because he has 6 more years on his deal from age 30 onwards...just like we walked away from an aging G in Markstrom who got 6yrs at what age?? OEL should do well for the first 3-4 years but the last 2 years may be different if he turns out like Edler, who lost 2 steps and started getting beat wide or took a lot of slash and hooking or tripping penalties. It is a risk, and that is what I think that poster meant...that is how I see it. We traded 12m in cap space for 1 yr and gained 12m in cap space for 5 years and a 6th year for OEL. We had to trade a top 10 pick as well, it is what it is. Let's enjoy the team now and worry about the later years when they are in the present. GO Canucks GO!!
  21. I disagree with a 3 letter response...OEL Taking on the mammoth salary of OEL should show fans this owner isnt afraid to spend real $$ Cause OEL is owed some huge $$ the next few years in salary
