  1. Make time to vote today, if you haven't already.

  2. So we get back to back breakfast games.  

    Our schedule is crap.

  3. Ferland needs to stop being Ferland and start being Ferkland.:lol::bigblush:

  4. Lebron James is great at taking stands against social injustice when he has a chance to directly profit from it. A lot harder to stand up for someone's rights when the system violating those rights makes you millions. 

  5. Should Boeser have the “A” over Sutter?

      Sutter is a very good leader. Showed it last year early in the season we he was mic'ed up and helping Jake out with positioning. Boeser will have his chance to wear an A, no need to rush it.

  6. Pittsburgh has scored 7 goals in a game 3 times this year already

  7. I'm getting tired of NHL's choice of scheduling, we only play 5 games in the first 15 days of the season, but in March we play 15 games with three sets of back to backs right before playoffs.....

      Part of it is that the NHL is terrified to run programming against Monday Night Football/Football on Sundays/Football on Thursdays.

  8. Joker movie is going to be crazy

  9. Boeser agent salty with the organization. Spilling everything, him and Benning swearing at each other,   Aquaman getting involved, etc. 

     

    Man wasted 3 months and got Boeser below what other free agents be signing lol

  10. My wife. who knew absolutely nothing about hockey when I met her, just said the following when I told her brock boeser signed for 3 years: "Oh, that's awesome! That's when Luongo's recap penalty expires so we will have cap room to re-sign him!".......... yep, I've done my job converting her to a Canucks fan. Work accomplished.

  11. Why a lot of our sigs turning into this:

  12. Did Fat Jake come to camp again? Group C?

      @luckylager Jake has always been a bit of a dummy. He was told to bring his secret stuff and lose the weight. He brought the weight and lost the secret stuff.

      This is like back in 20whatever and the Canucks were trading for Corey Perry.

  15. Reliving the infamous Torts line brawl vs Calgary and makes me think and look at our roster.  If you were TG and knew the Coach on the other bench is sending goons to stir it up, who would you throw over the boards?

     

    mine is

     

    Roussel- Eriksson :P-Ferland

     

    Benn-Myers

  16. It still irritates me so much when people call the Sedins "soft". They were far from bruisers but they didn't shy away from contact and winning those loose puck battles in the corners.

     

    How can these people ignore all the hacking/slashing/crosschecking that these guys continuously endured in the corner for their entire career while they looked to create offense for our team? They brought us 1 win away from a Stanley Cup with their blood, sweat and tears. In hindsight I do wish that Daniel had crosschecked the rat in the face, it wouldn't have made him any tougher but at least it would not have given many of these ingrates the opportunity to look down upon everything the Sedins did for this franchise.

  17. Hockey Dynasty is back!!!!

  18. Are there any jerseys of which you would prefer the white version?

  19. Man Simba’s ankles got snapped LOL

     

  20. Out for my walk at lunch when a bunch of screaming kidiots came running toward me throwing sand at each other as they ran past.  Got some in my eye, but I'm not allowed to body slam them so I look for a sign of life with their parents, who are seated on a bench, busily ignoring each other as they check their phones.  Hopefully for a parental handbook that tells them they're failing, miserably.  I won't blame the kids - it's the sadults who are clueless.

  21. Can anyone recommend a gun range open to the public on Vancouver Island?

  22. Favorite cut of steak? Personally, a medium rare bone-in ribeye is absolute heaven for me.

      I always get medium-rare, but the best steak I ever had was a medium boneless ribeye (chef recommended medium).

  23. can anyone explain the strategy behind large signing bonuses and small base salaries; and the contracts that pay higher amounts one year, smaller the second year than back up the third year and so on? they must be structured that way for a reason.

  24. Think speeding tickets suck where you live?  Rasmus Ristolainen just got fined $135,000 for going 50 in a 25 in Finland! :shock:

      "Ristolainen admitted that he was speeding but said the speedometer did not properly show how fast he was going, according to the report."

       

      Instead of looking at this as a mitigating factor, it would be hilarious if they fined him extra for driving a vehicle that was not properly functioning. They won't even give you a quote on how much a car like that costs:
