[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Chicago Blackhawks | Oct. 21, 2021
zimmy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Can't argue that, but its nice to have a bit of fun and celebrate (project) from time to time don't you think? -

Oh my. You really think this and are unwilling to see any other possibility such as comparing Q to those 8 other often historically great, but certainly at least notable notable d-men? That's what I'm seeing but then I'm also not of a conspiratorial mindset. -
ahh yes, but you're downplaying the great joy in predicting that things will go badly and seeing it actually happen on the ice! You know that there are many on this forum who are fully satisfied by this scenario. Its sad to me when anyone yearns for failure but I understand it when balanced with the satisfaction they derive from being "right".

I do wonder what actually constitutes the “flock” from time to time. It seems to me that those that are endlessly buoyant and positive might be in the minority in these challenging “Canuck” times

Unbridled hope is also part of the real world is it not, as is your informed negativity? I would say you tend to be a tad full of yourself at times but then ... Smiley Face!

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Edmonton Oilers | Oct. 13, 2021
zimmy replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If and when this usage, with this player specifically, becomes a pattern, then I will share your concern. Until then, I support Coach Green and his deployment of this roster. -

Amigo? Is that really you? This take is way over the top and head - scratchingly reactionary. You sure someone isn't ghosting this account? This is where you go after one, 1, one game? C’mon, tell me some pseudoamigo is at the controls. It will make me feel better. -
Who are you not forgiving? The player, after knee, back and hip surgeries or management, who were first unable to foresee these debilitating injuries and then failed to insure that the player recover from these serious medical procedures?

If you only could only listen to one band....
zimmy replied to bishopshodan's topic in Off-Topic General
If I was older it would be the Beatles but for someone of my vintage I’m going with XTC. For me, It would be important to choose a band that does not limit themselves to a predominant single style or sound, even if they are prolific (probably especially if they are really prolific). XTC cuts a wide swath through late 70’s to early 2000’s eclectic pop. I could easily listen to them without getting bored until the end of time! I suppose Radiohead would do in a pinch with this criteria in mind. -
[DEBATE] Which #9 in their CANUCKS prime are you taking?
zimmy replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
But …. If you’re playing a pick up game and you have the choice of either TT or JT, who are you going with? In regards the title of this thread, I know who I’m “taking”. -
[DEBATE] Which #9 in their CANUCKS prime are you taking?
zimmy replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
Tanti is going to win this poll and that’s fine with me. No one can convince me, however, that you’re going to win with Tanti (and they didn’t). I know, we haven’t won anything with JT either (yet) -
[DEBATE] Which #9 in their CANUCKS prime are you taking?
zimmy replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
If I’m captain, and I’m picking my team, and I’m trying to win, I take JT almost every time. If I’m looking at the best stats, it’s TT, obviously. Watched many a Canuck game live at old Coliseum in the eighties. No disrespect but Tanti was not a needle mover to my eye. As dynamic as his goal scoring skills were, he was a floater. Further, if not JT, Donnie Lever would be my selection. -
Reflecting specifically on these forums, I’ve always been partial to the Mark Twain quote “There are lies, damn lies and statistics.”

[DEBATE] Which Canuck player in their prime are you taking?
zimmy replied to Elias Pettersson's topic in Canucks Talk
Ohlund -
I don’t have a blind spot for Q and am interested in any discussion about his potential value in trade but there’s no way Chychrun has anywhere near the ceiling Q has. You might win this trade if we somehow could replay the 2021 season with the exact same results. Don’t think there’s a Norris in Q’s future but he is/will be far more dynamic and a game changer given that he is supported in his role.
