  1. Well, for once this season the team bails out the goaltender instead of the other way around.

  2. Do they have the Sedins or the long list of prominent Swedish alumni as well?
  3. Adding to the strong Swedish connection can only help with drafting and signing high profile Swedish players.
  4. Anyone know OEL's status?

      Coach boudreau said he should be about a week away 

  5. San Jose takes Chaisson for Kane, retains 50%, and gets a 3rd team to take 50% of the remaining 50% for a pick.
  6. This sounds like it could be a scene from an Austin Powers movie when he stumbles into one of Dr. Evil's traps. Otters with frickin laser beams attached to their heads!
  7. It has been awhile since the two-day gap between games has seemed so long!

  8. Maybe he didn't want the job in the past? There has to be a reason he was chosen for interim GM.
  9. 13 years coaching and 17 years in various front office roles, working closely with the GM,... you're out to lunch. How does one get experience then? If he didn't have the experience, he wouldn't be interim GM.
  10. Not only what he is saying, but just the way Boudreau speaks is very encouraging! Hopefully it translates to the play on the ice!

  11. I'd like to see how this plays out... Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet has reported the group taking over for Benning will be a collaborative group consisting of Chris Gear, Ryan Johnson, Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, and Stan Smyl.

      Yeah, glad they're going this way. It's a good time for a collaborative-effort/perspective.

       

      Then evaluate after the season. Maybe one individual will emerge as the worthy leader?

      Do not see how that can be a good thing. By committee never works out well.

  14. One thing to add though, regarding the 2011 squad (and other years in that timeframe or a bit before)...were those games played in the AHL during the 04-05 lockout? I would also be curious about how many players developed in leagues overseas, and for how long.
  15. Statisa.com lists the 2020 value of the Canucks at 725 million USD. If CDC were to chip in $7576.47 for each of the 95691 member accounts, we could buy it! All the people with several dupes are gonna need to pay up pretty big.

      @clam linguine is gonna have to take out a second mortgage on his place to cover his share of the bill.

      But that means i'd be a co-owner with @Alflives!! and Alf smells like older person :lol:

      :lol::lol:What a $&!#show it would be. 

  16. Agreed! I find it very interesting that so many fans seem to think they know the exact relationship and interactions between ownership and GM/President. I would love for said fans to share the recordings or transcripts of these meetings that they seem to know so much about.
  17. It's pretty annoying when "fans" think they need to lose to win. It's like &^@#ing for virginity... It's clear that change is going to happen, win or lose. But continued losing just discourages the players and kills their confidence, in the near and potentially long term.
