  1. I think you might be right . The more I see of him - the more convinced I am that he'll be a career AHL'er! The game is too fast for him. Maybe, he'll step things up over the summer....
  2. But Benning refused to admit Failure and re-signed "His-Boy" Jake "The Ripper" instead!
  3. That's why MYERS HAS TO GO! That was a classic brain-dead Jovo-cop cross-ice pick-off pass if I ever saw one! What a Goof Ball!
  4. Aqua-lini's seating upgrade for 23-24 season (after a 7.7% hike in STH's cost!) New level 100 seats: New level 200 "Suite" seats: New level 300 "Economy" Section Seats: New level 500 "Poor people" section seats:
  5. You mean the canucks Doctors................
  6. Really? We barely saw him for a few minutes/game and he certainly didn't look like he was worth throwing away 2 Super High Draft picks on - that we so desperately needed to restock our barren cupboards with - that have been depleted for years? He was average - at best - and looks like just another "Still-Man" type trade - so far. I sure hope he's able to play at some point in the coming years - if he ever fully recovers - and doesn't turn into permanent "Damaged-Goods" fiasco. Where was the "Due Dillegence" by JR & PA on this trade????
  7. Definately worth a 1st AND a high 2nd Rd. pick in a deep generational draft year!
  8. I certainly don't think Miller is a bad player but that contract will age like OEL, L.E. and Luongo's to name a few. It was 3-4 years too long and we will all live to regret that contract in a few years. BUT - the real problem with this team is that this same core group of incompatible players has failed for several years on end and here we are once again with witnessing their usual end of season 'Hurrah" as they try to prove to themselves that they actually are a good team (while they play the worst teams in the league). Well the proof is in the pudding and this group has been an absolute - total - complete - failure by any standards, failing to make the playoffs in all but 1 year in the last decade and finishing amongst the bottom feeders year after year after year. So at some point things have to change and I'm not talking about peripheral "Tinker Trades" with a couple of players swapped in/out here or there and this would have been one of the best years to bring substantial change when we had Three (count 'em 3) picks in the first two rounds in a very deep generational draft year. Instead we threw away 2 of those extremely valuable high draft picks on 1 injured (hopefully good) defenceman with only a year of term left on his contract. I'm praying this will all be worth it but am not holding my breath and I like 82% of other canuck fans polled here on CDC - said they wanted a REBUILD. So I am in good company with the majority of the "Normal" fans that are fed-up with illussions of grandeur!
  9. I certainly haven't given up on him and won't unless he turns into a flop - and only after he's played well into next year. He deserves a chance but all I'm saying is we gave away our first born for this guy and expect he'll be worth it! Time will tell.
  10. I sure hope HornWreck pans out because we gave away "The House" for this guy rather than get two badly needed and incredibly high draft picks in a deep generational draft year! JR has taken a huge gamble throwing away those 2 golden draft picks for this guy. He better be the second coming of Christ (of defensemen)!
  11. ...............and Miller. His Contract ends way out in the next decade of the 2030's (Closer to the middle of this century) when he's pushing senior citizens age. Can't wait to see how his contract ages then!
  12. .....................and they'll start the season with injuries and tons of losses. Rinse & repeat ! Same thing for over a decade...........................and counting!
  13. OMG ! How the heck can they justify an increase in seat cost when The Canucks Failed Again this year (like nearly all the entire last decade+), season ticket holders have fled in huge numbers, there are incredible numbers of empty seats at every game, they are discounting tickets by 50% in an effort to fill them and even giving away hundreds to charities, STH's can't even resell their tickets at face value - if at all to many games. And yet they increase ticket prices by a whopping 7.7% to their STH's - in a recession? Go Figure!!! Only Aqua-lini would be dumb enough to do this to STH's - who are even dumber to accept this insulting action. "Normal people" should refuse to give a red cent to Aqua-Lini until this team improves - period - end of story!

  15. OMG! Have you been drinking the Not a hope in hell we'll make the playoffs. It will take more than And you can thank the same players (who recently started to actually earn their keep) who failed to put any effort in at the beginning of the season - for this mess! They do the same thing every year and why most should be traded!
  16. Very true, the farther east you go in BC, the less people care about Vancouver. In fact once you hit the Okanagen, you start to see that the popultaion is made up more and more of Ex-Albertans. I recall reading a year ago, that I believe 36-39% of kelowna residents were originally from Alberta. Once you get to the far eastern part of the province - like Invermere, Creston, Kimberly it's much higher. Remember, that the only reason people live in Alberta is to work their butts-off like dogs and live in that harsh moon-like environment and make enough money to escape and get the hell out and retire in BC....... or phoenix (if they can't afford BC). That's every Albertan's dream and why you hardly see any grey haired people in Alberta. Fact of life.........and besides when was the last time you heard an older couple say " Hey Honey, why don't we retire in Alberta? Answer: NEVER!
  17. I think the better question for this post is; Why did JR wait until the season was all but lost to bring Tock-It in? Now both season is lost AND we're all but out of the Beddard Sweepstakes..................and for what?????????
