Important to bear in mind he was in no particular hurry to get out of Arizona, so that doesn't seem likely.

Because they only come once a year the arena is usually close to 50% Canucks fans. Sometimes even more.

Watching it live, it felt like the old days of playing Pavel Bure on NHL 94. Basically cheat mode. Swoop in and score every single time. A thing of beauty.

I will be at this game! Sadly my only Canucks jersey that still fits is my ill advised Virtanen jersey, so I will have to go incognito. Go Canucks Go!

I feel like the real audience for all of this talk by Rutherford is ownership. He probably feels like they need to make changes like firing the coaching staff, buying out OEL and burying some contracts but probably is getting resistance to ponying up the cash to do so. So he will keep on saying this in order to have his "I told you so" moment once ownership realizes there will be a price to be paid for fixing the mistakes of the previous regime.

Bo’s shout-out attempt was pretty much a perfect analogy for our season so far.

Wtf was that?

That save was Luongo-like.

I prefer our chances in a shootout compared to more OT.

Dodged a couple of bullets there.

Miller with the goal on a breakaway in overtime. Practice makes perfect.

Have really liked Ethan Bear this game.

I should have known it was a bad omen they didn’t play my namesake on this of all days.

Must be very easy for other teams to get themselves fired up for the third period, knowing our history this season. Seems like they all get a huge burst of energy.

After the first period I bought some good tickets for Tuesday night in Ottawa. Hope I don’t come to regret it.

With our luck, it won't be for long!

There have been some negative comments on him but I have been very pleased to see how Brisebois has seized this opportunity. He has looked like an NHLer and played with some confidence.

That rare 3 minute power play!

Let’s just focus on the resurgence! ;-)

Hmm it does make me wonder.... Like I wonder if it is posts like this that draw the reaction? So fans who support the move are mindless and forgo using their brains, unlike you who is probably smarter than management, though they are considered the dumbest in the NHL? Gosh I do wonder why people feel that you are being disrespectful....

I am curious what your theory is as to why your post took all the abuse when 11 other posters within the first two pages criticized the move and did not get any such response? Random chance? Personal vendettas? Or maybe it just seemed like trolling whether that was your intention or not.

Out of interest I looked over the first two pages of this thread. There were a total of 12 posts that I would say were negative toward this trade. And yet only one or two got all the reactions from the posters you are complaining about. How could that be? A self-reflective person might draw some conclusions about their own communication skills rather than complaining that they were being silenced.

Pretty ironic for the guy whose first post in this thread was pure over the top trolling. Not sure what else to call a post that provokes a dozen responses that amount to the wtf meme. Hope this helps.

So you are saying there weren’t multiple posts saying that the “Pom Pom crew” wouldn’t allow people to criticize the team?

Explain? So you are saying there weren’t multiple posts saying that the “Pom Pom crew” wouldn’t allow people to criticize the team?
