      If he didn't turn his head to the side at the end of the video, I wouldn't have believed that the noise was coming from him.

      CDC wasn't saying that earlier in the month except now the Canucks are laying a giant pre-season egg.

       

      Maybe this season will go in reverse.  The Canucks will play poorly in the first half and much better in the last half.  As long as they can avoid the injury bug for once that is.

  3. Anyone make the change from Shaw Internet to Telus? Right move?

      ah thats too bad, Novus has been great for me. @Drive-By Body Pierce is bang on tho, the big providers value new customers far more than old ones so maybe you can get a new tv out of it. When i lived in Burnaby I had Shaw and Telus, honestly no discernible difference other than Telus help is next to useless. Try turning your router on and off......

      650 would be wise to have Dhaliwal. He's as great a source as there is in this city. I'd wager that he's the most trusted.

      Dhaliwal is VERY good, especially talking hockey.

      @HerrDrFunk I'm sure you meant to quote me there, well that's good to hear. Again, I'm not condoning what Kane (both Kanes I guess) did in the past. I'm just saying that he's trying to be mature and change his ways. He's certainly fit in well with a team that has a solid, veteran leadership group like the Sharks so I would say that's a step in the right direction for him.

      i guess we should just all overlook the incident he had with a team mate earlier this season ?

      yeah ok

      cuz he's the sort of guy you'd give a break to

      cuz of his stand up reputation

      They've done their bit for King and Country. I have no issue if they want to spend time with their families this spring and summer.

    "

    9. A few weeks ago, I was preparing for a Blackhawks broadcast, and an opposing coach kind of snickered at Duncan Keith on their power play.

    “[Keith] can’t shoot anymore,” he said."

     

    That is more than harsh, but I don't care, because its DK.

      Never the 2003 is and will always be the modern standard until those guys are out of the league.

      The guy used publicly funded airtime to slander Alex Burrows for exposing the league for what it was.  He should have been fired on the spot.  I place zero value in this scumbag's opinion.

  16. Mods need to invoke a rule where if you don't understand how probabilities work, you're not allowed to comment on the draft lottery. For reference:

      They need to adjust the odds. You shouldn't have a 52% change of getting 4th overall if you finish last.

      Maybe just have the draft lottery to the bottom 10 teams? 

       

    3. Wilbur

      Wilbur

      Yes, dead last means the best odds.  It also means you probably have a lot of issues with the team that having a #1 pick alone won't solve.  Dead last isn't some enviable position.  Make smart moves with an eye for the future while being competitive as possible then let the lottery balls where they may.

      mmmm

      does this rule apply to buying lottery tickets as well ?

      Clearly those two goalie prospects in Cow town are just not very good.  Plus, the Flames play little to no defense.  Guys like Gudreau and Monahan don't know the meaning of the word. Yes, the goalies are not really getting helped out much, but they aren't that good to start with.

    3. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Agreed River but who will be the starter ?   Andres and Marky just dont cut the mustard,  mind you our D is no prize either.

      35-40 starts Blackbeard  ! basically you want him to start ?

      OIlers would find a way to ruin whoever they pick anyway.  Absolutely no leadership on that team, still.  Lucic just shows the young players how to act like gutless scumbags on and off the ice.  Must be painful for those clowns to see Seattle get an NHL team before Edmonton.

      It baffles me why people waste so much unnecessary money on something so simple as drip coffee.

      We have a Bunn, got it in the US of A, back when the dollar was at par. $99, it makes a really quick pot of coffee, in less than 3 minutes.

      aeropress is a great option. I really love a simple French press, its hard to beat that with freshly ground beans. 

  20. There is a middle-ground between complete tank (EDM/BUF/ARZ) and purgatory (DET). If Benning can't find this middle ground, he needs to go. This means deals at the deadline and vet UFAs in the summer (e.g., exactly like last year).

    1. Wilbur

      Wilbur

      To me, middle ground is trade vets if you think you're getting the (honest) value in return.  If not, keep them.  With the vets the Canucks have had and their contract situations I can't believe other teams have seen a whole lotta value hence the lower number of trades.

    2. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      I think that is fair to say for guys that have shown value/chemistry with others throughout the year (e.g., Vanek) as they may be harder to replace in July. However, for guys like Gudbransson, I can't imagine Benning being unable to find a similar dman through a FA signing. You take what you can get for Guddy knowing that you'll be able to replace him in a few months. 

    3. Wilbur

      Wilbur

      Guddy's a tough one.  One one hand I agree with you, but another part of me still thinks we haven't seen the best of Guddy yet so wouldn't be disappointed if he stayed (depending on $$$ and term obviously).  For me, a perfect world scenario is another 1 year contract, although I doubt Gudbranson would be down for that.

  21. The daily poll is awesome. Would be cool if it would link to a thread where we could discuss why we voted a certain way.

      Like others have said, most of these topics are being discussed elsewhere on the board and it's neat to see a quick poll.  If there is a poll that needs a topic, I'm sure it wouldn't be redundant for someone to simply create a new thread on it.

      It probably would make sense. NHL must have negotiated something with them to have them feature it.
