  1. Ok I have a theory. I'm sure everyone is familiar with hipsters. So, where I'm from, hipsters dislike widely accepted things just for the sake of being different. In Vancouver though, could people ask for stupid trades and such just to be "counter culture"?

      I used to be a hipster, but it got too popular and it's no longer cool.

      I feel like the definition of hipster changes on a daily. I've given up trying to understand it.

      Hipsters who only do it with resentment suck. But hipsters who have a real desire for things different are pretty fun people who offer fun experiences

  2. Which pair of first round picks will be the most prolific Canucks? Baertschi/Jensen? Horvat/Shinkaruk? Or Virtanen/McCann?

      You're not even playing the game! which tandem? 2011? 2013? or 2014?

    3. Piggy Bank

      2014 - only because my expectations are lower than that with the other guys

      Jake and Bo will rule them all.

  3. so does anyone have stats on our guys from the young stars tournament? not quite sure where would have it, interested to see what everyone ended up with.

      thanks guys. looks like guimond had just about the best tourney of anyone invited. would really be something if he could lock down an AHL spot this season. we had a couple guys in the top finishers from the tournament. great to see.

    3. stonecoldstevebernier

      stonecoldstevebernier

      yeah, Guimond has one hell of a shot. Utica already signed him but looks like we're keeping him around for our main camp which should be interesting.

      i liked the fact that he scored from different spots on the ice. his goal today was a great shot just outside the blue paint. didn't see our other D's having that kind of instinct to get down low like that.

  4. been thinkin about it today and there isn't really a thread to post in about it but I really want to see jordan schroeder play this season! i like the idea of a line with schroeds - richardson - booth. richardson is more versatile so maybe he would take the draws and swap to the wing and jordan can play at center ice. there is a lack of playmaking on the team and he could bring it in spades!

      Also from what I remember he really picked up his game half way through those 39 games.

    3. Joel Heyman

      Joel Heyman

      That would be solid. Booth and Schroeder have good chemistry too and this would be a chance to check him out on the wing at the NHL level

    4. Ronalds.Kenins41

      Ronalds.Kenins41

      I want him on line like this; Hansen-Schroeder-Booth they are all fast skaters and can create havoc off the rush. He also had good chemistry with Hansen and Raymond last year because of their speed. With Booth's speed + hands and Jordan's vision we can have ourselves a great line.

  5. finally listened through the summer summit. 3 things stuck out to me. 1. trevor linden seems to have an awesome report with the prospects, coach, and managment team. genuine guy. 2. jared mccann had to have been extremely nervous on draft day cause the kid seems to have personality in spades. 3. i want to have a few beers with shorty.

      i'm enjoying demko's blogs, especially the 3rd one...these guys are all going to grow up together...

      Shorty was rolling punchlines all night. It was pretty epic.

    4. wshdrvvn

      wshdrvvn

      ooh, another thing i liked was how loosely everyone played the whole event. as shorty mentioned (several times lol) free beer and wine probably helped but it was a lot more enjoyable than gillis' buttoned up, serious approach to public events like that.

  6. Updated line up guess:

      I think it could work. I think they would protect Vey from his lack of physicality.

  8. In today's unsurprising news: Jordan Subban signs. now, what's the over/under on months til everyone panicking about not signing return to their roots of devaluing him because of his height?

  9. Congrats to Ronalds Kenins on his first NHL call up! Really excited to see what he can do. A Kenins-Horvat-Kassian 4th line should be able to make some noise.

      Only noise Kassian makes is when he misses his check and slams into the glass

    3. Odd.

      Odd.

      Who the hell is Kassain Gstank? I've checked NHLnumbers.com and Kassain doesn't have a contract with us.

    4. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Kassian is the physical manifestation of Horvats Alter hockey ego.

  10. there's something i noticed here on CDC... A lot of posters use the word "crapty" instead of "crappy" is that a Canadian thing? I've never seen that anywhere else but here.

      lol.

      It's cdc's swear filter at work.

      It converts a different word into crap. You can guess what it is.

      @ g_bassi13, that makes a ton of sense hahah thank you!

  11. HA the homepage says "Jake Schroeder's third-period tally lifts the Canucks over the Coyotes"

    1. Phil_314

      Phil_314

      It's got Raymond doing a spin-o-rama too...

    2. Trebreh

      maybe the admin got lazy "Jor.. f it.. Jake Schroeder"

    3. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      That is his alias for when he kicks Ass !

  12. Does anyone else remember McCann saying shortly after the draft that he felt he would only need one more year of junior before making the jump to the NHL? The kid called his shot. impressive!

    1. Robongo

      Robongo

      Sure do, now let's see if he can stick for the whole year!

    2. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      It is what it is :P

      I'm totally saying that everytime he scores too.

    3. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      IF he calls his own shots then when he wants a contract in 3 tears he's not going to budge on how much he wants... It's not always a good thing

  13. feels good having 1st round picks and other good prospects actually playing on the farm. we haven't had that in awhile; excited to see what some of these guys do this year.

    1. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      Not just first round prospects but GOOD first round prospects with high ceilings

      It's a process.

  14. Adirondack is going to be a handful for Utica this year. these flame's prospects are good.

    1. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      most of the flames prospects will be in the nhl tho

    2. Horvat

      Canucks prospects and utica comets Shouldn't be compared lol

      they aren't being compared.

  15. if i was a ref and i saw logan couture bleeding, i would check for ketchhup packets in his gear before making a call.

      I've actually read stories where players would keep a piece of a scab and rip it open for a double minor. Very low.

  16. question for some of the posters who have been around awhile: i'm putting together a spreadsheet with all the team schedules that have canucks prospects on them; is there a way to upload that spreadsheet to my profile somewhere?

    1. :D

      :D

      I'd been around forever but I have no idea. I felt bad that no one was answering your question.

    2. peener

      ^^^ i can appreciate that hahah

  17. maybe it's bad form to say this about a charity thing, but doesn't 'fishing for kids' sound a little odd to you?

  18. Team USA's orientation camp is in Virginia? seems kind of an odd ball place to have it.

    1. Bruce Boudreau

      Bruce Boudreau

      It is the Capitals training facility.

    2. Aladeen

      Aladeen

      Makes sense as it's near the Capital of the Country they represent.

    3. wshdrvvn

      wshdrvvn

      yeah i suppose, just seems it would make more sense to have it in a more hockey affluent area. USA hockey HQ is in Colorado Springs. maybe Minnesota or Michigan. I dunno, doesn't really matter haha

  19. you miss 100% of the goals that don't hit the F***ing net!!

      i feel like that was the only way it was gonna happen lol

  20. gotta say im a bit disappointed we didn't find any scoring help. but i would have been more upset if we traded away a vet for nothing. ugh. the draft and free agency just became that much more important this summer.

    1. Tearloch7

      Tearloch7

      this summer will determine the Canucks future, for better or worse .

    2. wshdrvvn

      wshdrvvn

      totally agree. i nervously anticipate draft day.

  21. apparantly lu is the good luck goalie.. i can't remember a year or goalie allowing so many hattricks in one season.

    1. Heretic

      Heretic

      He didn't score 3 goals on Luongo. Last was an empty net.

    2. wshdrvvn

      wshdrvvn

      yeah true. how about the canucks allowing so many hattricks then.

  22. Tanev's goal last night was a beauty. offensively, i could see him becoming a lot like hammer, 4-8 goals, 20-30 assists. and consistantly at that!

    1. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Tanev is a boss :D

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      tanev and stanton have been pleasant surprises...maybe corrado next year....

  23. personally I'm assuming Edler will be here next year.. Can't wait to see if torts can light a fire under him!

    1. Baka

      "Light a fire under him"

      CDC's phrase of the week.

    2. wshdrvvn

      wshdrvvn

      haha yeah.. but thats what i want to see!

  24. i may just be being difficult but does anyone else hate when ultra positive threads start to pop up? if the playoffs don't go perfectly, these will be the people making all the ignorant angry threads in the off season.

    1. Heretic

      Heretic

      Nah - for me, I have no expectations this year.
