  1. Watching the Canucks play the Kraken on Wednesday is going to be like running into an ex while you're on a Tinder date. 

  2. I created a CDC league if anyone wants to do the NHL.com bracket challenge:

      Avs beat the Panthers in the final, and I hope my eastern conference bracket doesn't bust in the 1st round again this year...

  3. Is there a good alternative to theScore app?

      Not sure cause everyone I know uses it. What don't you like about it?

      The big three are TheScore, TSN and Sportsnet apps. 

       

      TheScore is probably one of the better of the 3.

      @kanucks25 The NHL standings are slow to update and when following baseball, the pitch-by-pitch section often glitches.

  4. Travis Green's response to Demko getting robbed says a lot about his coaching style.

  5. Justin Bailey looking like a young Alex Burrows against Chicago:

      Those jerseys are quite nice, but that logo is just godawful. Thank God the Canucks passed on that.

      Holy $&!# the goal song :o

  6. Videotaping people in public... I get that it is not illegal, but secretly filming players out in public is, to me, gross.

      individual people are going to do it, its far worse when the media takes it and spreads it around even more.

  7. Best way to distract from the Canucks is to watch Alphonso Davies lead Canada to the World Cup. 6pm on Sportsnet.

      Please don't mess anything up Edmonton. Yes be happy but don't run onto the field. 

  8. Putting an offer on a home is an awful process. Either someone outbids you or you are left questioning whether you offered more than what it is worth.

      It's nuts out there. A couple I know, one of which is a carpenter while the other works with individuals with disabilities, moved up to Dawson because it's so bad here in Nanaimo. By the time they got to look at something it'd be sold. 

       

      Another couple, one of which is a red seal electrician while the other does reception or something for the RCMP, brought their buying price up to 800k in Nanaimo because there's less competition for those houses. Most people don't have that kind of financial range though. 

       

      My youngest sibling, at almost 23, will be a red seal electrician soon and I'm skeptical of his ability to get into the market. I just don't understand how prices can go up, and up, and up while wages stagnate. It ain't the average Canadian who's able to afford property nowadays that's for sure.

      I'm rooting for you though, for what it's worth.

      Do you keep track of stats for those that are in the NHL or only those that are in AHL/Juniors/College?

  10. Canucks just hired the guy who tried to hoard vaccines for members of Hollyburn in West Van. Tone deaf.

      how is it desperate? I have no stake in it at all, I just don't see the evidence to call the guy a scumbag or line jumper when thats not a fact in any of the stories. Maybe you have more info.

      @Jimmy McGillI see what you're saying. I don't condone the cancelling of this dude for doing his job as CEO. He's looking after the business, and he saw this as a way to 'benefit' his membership. The optics of it is bad - there's no denying that. However, calling him a scumbag is an oversimplification I think of the situation.

      that's all I'm trying to say here. I don't like the quick rush to condemn people these days, particularly on media stories that are often really misleading in the headlines. 

       

      Apparently this makes me a piece of $&!# around here.

  17. Why does the NHL's Official Youtube Channel upload highlights in 720p? Am I missing something?

  18. How is it that after all these years the NHL's website still looks like trash.

  19. OJ's debut reminded me of Tanev's debut. In the playoffs. Injuries. Looked calm enough. Like he was smoking a cigarette out there.

      Corrado's problem was he went to a team that did look out of place in the NHL after Vancouver.

    3. Coconuts

      Yeah, being in Toronto didn't do Corrado any favours at all

      So much happened this game. One of the absolute best breakout plays I've ever seen led to a Bieksa breakaway goal. Then he fought Marleau. D. Sedin popping right up after a dirty hit. Eager getting flashed in the penalty box. Eager losing his mind. Canucks dummying the Sharks for the entire second and third period. Bigtime Sedinery ends in a goal by Aaron Rome.

      $61.60, that's including taxes. Base rate no tax is $55, I believe.

      $39 with Novus for 100 Mbps plan. I've found them to be the best deal and they are always willing to give you whatever special deal they're running for new customers, just call and ask and they do it no problem. Only issue is they don't have as many service areas so you have to be in one of their buildings.

      I'm in Port Moody and I'm paying $98 a month for internet only (Shaw). 

  24. In terms of goal differential, the Detroit Red Wings are on pace to be the worst team of the 21st century.
