  1. The resurgence took place only in his pants, and entirely when it shouldn’t. Should have kept his stick on the ice. The church is closed until further notice.

  3. I don’t wish to make light of this situation in any way but it does seem fitting and ironic that basing the Church of V on the Catholic Church has ended like this. Brought down by a sex scandal.
  4. Yep gross and inexcusable if proven true. Such a shame he has not lived up to his potential this year and now this. New thread for username change suggestions?
  5. I felt so pleased to read this respectful and thoughtful exchange between you and Deb, and then so deeply saddened that it stood out so much from the norm on messageboards. Thank V for the fact we have good posters on these boards to shine some light in the darkness.
  6. What an embarrassing pack of losers that funded this and made it happen. People wonder why everyone makes fun of our idiot fan base.
  7. You did that all on your own pal. Maybe you don’t have a lot of experience with women but I find they don’t take kindly to being accused of being over-emotional and told to think logically, especially when they are experienced at their job and are hearing this from some clown who is “well actually” commenting on one of the most exciting wins of the season. You might not have meant it that way but use your brain.
  8. I vote we celebrate this win by banning this rather obvious troll. Give me a break. Would you make the “take your emotions away” comment about any of the male mods? Didn’t think so pal.
  9. Why did you even watch “pal” if you aren’t even going to let people enjoy a win. Why bother commenting? Seriously, get the funk outta here.
  10. More than any other factor in this game, it is sooo important to this team that Holtby seems to have turned the corner. We can do this!
  11. That was astounding! Losing my mind at the work they put in for that win! This team believes in themselves and are not going to quit!
  12. Was behind on the game so haven’t been in this thread. So proud of how this team has worked and competed tonight. Win or lose I am incredibly impressed. Holtby has been a beast this game as well. Exactly what we needed.
  13. I run a tourism business in Ontario and we just got lockdown extended until the end of time. Say something positive about this year for the Canucks to cheer me up CDC!

      Virtanen didn't get traded at the deadline.

      Fin managed to avoid contracting Covid ensuring the stuffed-human-whale population will live on...at least for now.

      Yeah but it's a different Fin now isn't it. That was pretty quiet how that happened. Like it was not covered at all. Wonder what the story is? Hope it's just the guy just wanted to retire. 

  14. My honest opinion is that Virtanen will have a better year next year regardless of which team he is on. Much of the disappointment lies in a combination of a genuinely bad year and heightened expectations based on his draft position. I will point out he was far from alone in having a bad year this year, but is strangely singled out among the many disappointing performances. I think he can be an occasionally streaky and entertaining 3rd liner on a good team, and that's good enough for me. That opinion hasn't really changed even though he has been bad this year.
  15. Prepare yourselves for the resurgence of Virtanen. Took a step back this year. I think he still has the capacity to surprise us.
  16. I will point out it is moving down a round in the most random draft in league history. With no scouting going on, one would think that some teams are going to strike gold in unexpected places. The draft order will matter less than ever this year.
  17. Orwell didn't say it, but you do bring to mind a quote: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." Please keep your neocon buzzwords out of a hockey thread.
  18. Bingo. Imagine the usual refrain of "why did Benning let x player go for nothing!" if he didn't take what was available in this depressed market.
  19. Much like they clearly stated no one would be traded. Don’t think a team announcement adds much credence to either side of the speculation. What else are they going to say?
  20. A few thoughts: - I never cease to be amazed that CDC acts like covid doesn’t exist and doesn’t have an unplanned for impact on things like the salary cap and player value. We are the Typhoid Mary of the NHL right now and even for other teams the value they are getting for trades is very low right now. No one is paying full value for trades. I’m amazed we were able to trade anyone at all. From a player to player value perspective Chicago obviously won that trade, but from a team needs perspective I think the right decision was made to move on from Gaudette and I am content with what we got. We got a solid, young and cheap 4th liner who can play PK and is a playoff performer. Exactly the kind of player everyone has been bitching we should have been playing on our 4th line instead of overpriced veterans. Meanwhile it opens up a spot and opportunity for other young players to take Gaudette’s minutes and run with them. It’s about the bigger picture, and that is not even factoring the potential animosity in the room that may well be there over recent events. It may not be, but the possibility certainly submarines his value to other GMs as well. I don’t think people should be staying it as fact that there is an issue, but there are some signs there may have been an issue there. The team denying it doesn’t really prove anything either way and we will probably never know.
  21. I had not paid any attention to hockey while the Canucks were out and was astounded to just now discover how poorly the Habs have done lately. We have a chance here. The fact that is even possible, even if unlikely, has me absolutely gobsmacked.
  22. Look on the bright side! This schedule can only be good for our draft position! ;-)
