Leave out the intro and first verse. Crank it after that and you have a raucous, rocky, immediately catchy tune with a compellingly appropriate lyric that you can scream out at that ultimate moment. You can all cease your music searches now

hindsight is 20/20 but the year before taking over the Canucks had two first round picks (including a top 10) and in JB’s first year he had two first round picks (including a top 10) as well as his other picks in tact.
The two years leading up to and the first year of their tenure it looked like this:Allvin
1st - 1 (15)
2nds - 1
Benning
1sts - 5 (6, 10, 24, 24, 26)
2nds - 2
Benning’s complete lack of on ice success (made the playoffs because of Covid) and having so few draft picks along with several crippling contracts is inexcusable. Just because Quinn Hughes fell on to his lap and his scouts strong armed him into drafting EP40 he is hailed as having some level of competenceDon’t need to quibble with the majority of your points but what does making the playoffs because of Covid mean exactly? By winning percentage they were “In”, fair and square. This narrative needs to end. Let’s keep to the facts.

Pretty much. Once Crosby retires, they will blow it all up. So, they have a 3–4-year window to win another cup...
I agree with most of this but I do think it’s closer to 3 to 4 minutes rather than years. The last time this strategy worked was the ‘67 Leafs.

What is the collateral damage here with the girl posting a fanvid?
Ask Alex and his wife and family.

And I let her be a person while you want to change her and stifle her persona.
How would you like to be nutered?
You two have to accept that the can is open.
Woman has free speech also.
If you disagree with her don’t follow her online. So hands up, do you two love Alex eyes as she does?
But this has gone beyond following her or not on line. If you can’t see the collateral damage here I don’t know what to say. And yes, I would like to stifle her persona and I’m not 70.

Is the Wennberg family entertained by this video? Are they laughing along when hear about the different holes she has available for their father and husband to occupy? Did they ask for this type of attention? Did they ask for the hurtful commentary they are now receiving on line directed to their family and kids?
I think this is an affront to good taste and a vile personal attack. A line is crossed here and Sheila should be ashamed. Her hard on for this player should have been left in the recesses of her mind, or left in diary, or even shared with her friends over a cocktail and not made public in this manner. It is disrespectful and it crosses a line that unfortunately has not been made clear to many in the on line community.

That the tenor and tone of this video is disgusting is pretty obvious. That there will be those out there who support this type of behaviour disgusts me more.

Im really looking forward to seeing Nils Aman at training camp.
At such a young age, already has a lot of structure and good habits in his game. Defensively has a lot of details nailed down, just needs to at more strength to his frame. I think he has more offense to give, he showcased a lot of smart playmaking ability.
I wanna see him take a step this year and seize a third line C role. I think he has the ability to be a difference maker down the middle.
Just waiting now for the analytics post(s) to cut your take to shreds.

This franchise has a real problem with the fan experience. The DJ is so downright embarrassing that I actually am so scared when we’re at home on the national broadcast. The building “sold out” and the lower bowl every night looking like we are on Millionaires night with the sea of burgundy. How many goal songs have we had? Entire boxes on the upper level will go the whole game without anyone coming out to the railing. Maybe if they dropped the 24$ cheap American beers we’d get some people cheering. Now let’s talk about the “black shirt” library monitors that went around removing the fans that had signs that said “we stand with Bruce” even though he was still the freaking coach at the time. Back to the anthem singer…Donnelly and the political agenda aside I’m sure if we ever establish some sort of tradition or regular thing in our building we will find a way to cancel them too. Next thing to go is the towels in the playoffs. Anthem singer should be a random box seat patron and if you get 3 “skill testing” questions about the team wrong then you do the anthem and out come the rotten tomatoes. Bring back the skate.
/rant
Once you’ve got something good, keep it and let it grow.
DJ tries to pander to the sensibilities of the many “casual” fans that frequent the lower bowl and luxury boxes. Seems like DJ is trying to entertain rather than rouse, which, in my opinion, is the job of the DJ. I can literally think of a hundred tunes that are more appropriate for a game/arena setting, songs that never get played but with a little research, could be added to an effective, uplifting, rousing playlist.
I understand your downright embarrassment. Your take here is on the mark.-

I’ll be quite satisfied to read the many accolades coming PB’s way in the next few days than to dwell on the drivel coming from some of the posters on this forum (do they need naming?) In all seriousness, the disrespectful and purposely uninformed tone says more about you as hockey observers than it taints Bergeron’s reputation.
I’m a hockey fan and I hate the Bruins with an almost all-abiding passion but come on now, to not see this players greatness is laughable and makes me think you know nothing about this game at all. -
Everyone’s forgetting Dougie Halward’s hat trick in the playoffs against the Lames!

I have absolutely zero respect for Rutherford. Given his obvious character issues, I see no reason to give that worthless sack of **** the benefit of the doubt. The sooner this dirtbag is driven out of town, the better. It is the duty of the fans to make it clear that he isn't welcome.
Wow. I might have got a bit of spit on me from that response. I guess hate is your flavour then. I won’t ramp you up any more.

The last guy to take an unofficially retired number didn't exactly work out. Management should have at least had the professionalism to give Cole enough information to make a decision. Yet again, Rutherford chose to not do the right thing.
You’re embarrassing yourself by suggesting Rutherford made a conscious choice here. I’m projecting, and this might the wrong take, but does your hate on for management have any limits? The number is not retired. I think the club has done a nice job recognizing the contributions of the previous generation of players. Why not celebrate that instead of insinuating villainous intentions?

personally i would have just signed both hoglander and zadina both to a 1 year deal any let them battle it out.. worse case scenario you waive one of them and it gets claimed no harms done. i honestly dont think hoglander makes the team based on he's good enough more so he's not waiver exempt and they dont want to lose him for nothing. hoglander have slightly better offensive stats not by much.. but zadina have better size and he was a great PK back in his junior days. i honestly don't see a future for hoglanders with the canucks.. he's not good enough right now to stick in the top 6.. and he's too small his game doesn't translate well in the bottom 6.. and he can't pk.. small tiny players in this league need to be scoring to have a role
Get ready for pushback on the “small tiny” characterization. He might be fairly described as short, but he’s neither small or tiny. He’s borderline fireplug thick and quite sturdy.

Still can’t believe Yzerboy got too to the cleaners on this Debrincat deal. Yzerboy is soon to be axed. He’s doing a terrible job. And the Wings suck pucks.
I think you have effectively set the other extreme of Gawd’s fanboy take on Yzerman. Neither of you is right but your framing of this topic helps this thread chug along in an entertaining manner.

The dirtbags in this management group' character issues extended to their lack of professionalism with Boudreau, hiring a convict to coach the team, and not telling Cole about the history with #28. They have proven that they have no issue with disgracing the franchise with their repeated misconduct.
I could just give you a sad face but it seems more appropriate to congratulate you on a new level of vitriol. To each his own!

https://thehockeywriters.com/filip-zadina-2018-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/
According to this scouting report, Zadina was the top 3 talent in the 2018 draft. Ranked much higher than Hughes. And he is actually a strong penalty killer. Dude can score goals and kill penalties. He just needs a change of scenery.
I’d sign him in a heartbeat and play him with Miller.
Play him with Miller - bing bang boo - asset management - trade him for draft picks.

Could we get the DJ to play songs like this at the arena? The song is fire, full of attitude, energy and the band is Swedish !!

I’m quite sure the passage of time has dulled my recollection of this player and I feel quite uninspired as to his possible impact if he were to return.
For others of you, the many years accumulated have clearly raised this player to almost mythical heights, not that you see him as some kind of saviour, but the memories you hold have served to stretch his skills somewhat.In either case, what is tough to reconcile is why this process is taking so long. Big T’s pupils must be in agony from eying this return for as long as he has.

Heard of a 'trap' game? That's a trap homestand.
Indeed. Lethargy could easily set in, our Vancouver “home” crowd might turn ugly etc etc.
I’m honestly more concerned about this stretch of games than the first six.

[DEBATE] Who is the greatest goaltender in NHL history?
in General Hockey Discussion
Posted
The eye test says it’s Hasek everyday. Teams in Buffalo were not defensive juggernauts so he had to literally stand in his head many nights. No offence to Plante and the like but put Hasek behind a stellar defensive team and no one touches him in this category.
Now, I might be wrong, but I’ve trusted my eyes over the years and Hasek did things no one else before or after has even come close to physically matching. Wins and shutouts and Stanley Cups are TEAM accomplishments. Positionally, historically, physically, there’s no one better than the great Dom.
