  1. I think you will find we gave up a first to dump several contracts, including Loui Eriksson. Taking OEL was part of that deal. Not saying it panned out as the right thing to do, but please don't pretend he was the key to that deal. Dumping other players was the intent.
  2. Doesn't affect me at all but I don't think women should be obliged to defend themselves constantly from put downs and gender based negative comments. I sure hope none of you "we can't say anything anymore" folks don't work somewhere with an HR department. I run a company and if I referred even jokingly to female members of senior management as "chipmunk girls" even in jest I can guarantee I would be hearing about it.
  3. I would much rather they be working on meaningful trades than attending a crappy meet and greet. I would imagine they are smart enough to know that hollow words are pointless. We need to see action.
  4. Do you genuinely not understand why using the diminutive “girls” to describe some of the most talented women in hockey who have broken barriers to get where they are, or you just feigning ignorance to get a “zinger” through at liberal values. You don’t refer to women as “girls”. The context makes it much worse.
  5. Was about to make the same comment. Gross to see that on these boards.
  6. Once Deb has hit her limit on believing in this team, you know they have messed up HARD. I feel exactly the same way.
  7. Never quite understand it when fans boo something that has undergone video review. Like surely they have better views of it than you do in the nosebleeds lol.
  8. If they really did offer him $7 million x 7 or 8 years and he turned it down, it makes a lot more sense to me why they signed Miller. They made it clear they wanted to keep at least one of the two. They have a much better idea than we do of what the agents are asking for. Miller’s side probably required less movement on the part of the Canucks. All speculation.
  9. I vote for ratcheting up the chaos. 10-9 Canucks. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
  10. Went to bed when it was 4-0, since it was almost midnight here in Ontario. Hope I didn't miss anything.
  11. The joke was obvious and expected, but the gif selection was sublime. Cheers to you!
  12. Should have retired his jersey. Hockey Hall of Fame is somehow not enough to earn him that honour with our team, where he played the most meaningful games of his career. A terrible decision. Ottawa is retiring the jersey of Chris Neil for gods sake.
  13. The guy worked his whole life to get into the NHL and you guys are just making pun after pun and laughing about it when he gets waived. You should feel ashamed of yourselves. I feel badly for the pour guy.
  14. Not so great for me here in Ontario! Haha I might have to listen to it on the radio in bed.
  15. I mean, if they are really willing to give up a kidney, you've got to at least give that some thought. Should be able to sell that on the black market.
  16. How did the Nashville Child Predator get ranked in 8th?
  17. Gritty should be getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd. End of story.
  18. Am I the only one who thinks Todd McLellan looks like Andy Serkis, or is that something people have noted before?
  19. I take it you weren't around back then? The team spent years after AV's final time with the team saying that they wanted the team to play a more exciting style of hockey and for multiple coach hires they said that the main goal was to play that style. Fans had expressed frustration with the boring defensive style. My point is that many years later, that is at the philosophical root of how this team was built, and it really doesn't work.
  20. Remember when everyone wanted fire AV so we could have a team that played a more uptempo offensive brand of hockey? That wish has been granted. This is what that looks like.
  21. Claim the guy for the name alone. If we are going to tank for Bedard, we should endeavour to do it with an many memorable names on our roster as possible.
