  1. I think the Jury has delivered the verdict: Benning won the Granlund/Shinkaruk deal.
  2. There is no topic about Stecher becoming an alternate captain.

     

    My post is not redundant... you are playing favourites and censoring my posts.

      Your threads are so unoriginal. You think no one else has these thoughts, they do.It's just that not everyone has an ego they constantly need fed.

      There are topics on both Stecher and on who is our future captain (including alternates). Be happy more of your terrible threads aren't locked. Calling out a mod in a public status update is just more proof you don't understand how this all works.

  3. Really hope what I heard on HNIC tonight wasn't a fact... Don't want to see Virtanen traded for Kane... Kane is a cancer. If Virtanen is traded, it should be for another young offensive prospect.
  4. Hey

     

    Why did you shut down my thread????

     

    This is the second time I've been shut down on this topic.

     

    Here's the facts buddy:

     

    The Sedins were overpassing the puck and missing opportunities at the beginning of the season.

     

    Now they are finally starting to shoot...

     

    I made the observation they were overpassing before...  now they are shooting and scoring, I make the observation it is working....  So where is that irrelevant???

     

    Your reason for shutting down the thread is frankly nonsense.

  5. Pat on the back for his best game of the year.
  6. Where exactly is the thread which talks about the Sedins not shooting????

     

    Cause this is NOT a redundant topic... more than ever, the Sedins need to stop passing and shoot.

  7. Burrows looked good for the first 4 games... but like the rest of the team, he looked tired against the Kings. So he was reaching and hooking to keep up... with the obvious result. I love the guy, but he should play two games on, two games off. He's too old to play a full schedule. Slot Skille or one of the guys from Utica in his place... give them a chance
  8. (next to Markstrom) Hansen was best player on the ice against the Sabres. He just keeps on playing his heart out for the Canucks season after season.
  9. I think Gudbranson did exactly the right thing when he went back at Larsson. I love his physicality and refusal to back down. He is also a smart and funny guy... you can pick up his sense of humour and intelligence just from the short clips when they interviewed him. I think he is a huge addition to the team.
  10. I think the acquisition of Gudbranson has had a huge effect on the whole defense corps. First of all, it means Hutton has far less of a physical challenge... there is not the size imbalance, he can focus on moving the puck. 2nd, the fact we have this heavyweight now anchoring the 2nd pairing has taken all the pressure off the 5/6 pair, Sbisa is now playing against lower caliber opponents and can develop his skills without the big pressure being on him. It also has taken the pressure off Tanev and Edler, without being pushed to their physical limits, they are much better. They are also not required as much to play against the opponent's top lines. The Canucks now have a really decent top 5, the only one I am not sold on is Larsen, I would prefer to see Tryamkin get a chance to learn the NHL. What Larsen gives the PP does not make up for his lack of size. Canucks still need more of the intimidation factor.
  11. Ok, I'm over my disappointment at the Canucks not getting Dubois... and the Oilers lucking out with Jesse P. Juolevi is going to be a solid playmaking defenseman, who has the potential to be elite. Hopefully, if he is paired with a big stay at home D, he will provide the offensive flair this team needs. Like Bennings says, he is building this team from the Goal out, and right now I think we are solid, with the list of goalies, and defensemen we have acquired. The offensive side of the equation is going to be limited for a while... (unless Benning goes for some BIG free-agents, which I think would be a mistake since the team is not ready to make a run)
  12. Really disappointed when Columbus took Dubois... then double that again when Edmonton took Jesse Puljujarvi... I think Jesse P is the best player in the draft... he is going to be a killer if paired with McDavid... he'll be Kurri to McDavid's Gretzky. I understand why Tkachuk was passed over by Benning... he is too small for the NHL to play the style he did in Junior. The Canucks got a decent defensive prospect in Juolevi, but he is not of the calibre of the first 4 guys. I guess it was too much to hope Edmonton would be stupid enough to pass on Jesse P. Benning was left with no real choice... not his fault we were unlucky in the Draft lottery.
  13. I used to like GoT for the reason it wasn't afraid to show the unvarnished truth of Medieval power politics and not afraid to let characters die. But lately it has become a self-indulgent exercise in degrading and violent fetishes which clearly are just there because they tickle the author's fancies. There is also a real lack of logic in the actions of the characters... as for example Jon Snow... could anyone this stupid really gain the loyalty of his followers... when he makes all the wrong choices, leading to a bloodbath and loss of most of his army? Then there is the question of realistic wounding and injuries... we have now seen many examples of characters who clearly should be dead, who shrug off their wounds and bounce back... The Hound for example, or Arya Stark... since when does someone who takes a dagger in the intestines 4 or 5 times not develop sepsis from the stomach contents infecting the wounds? The overall plot line has been dragged out and repeated ad nauseum... as for example Daenery's wanderings... first she finds a horde with which to re-conquer her kingdom, then she loses it, then she finds it again. Same with her quest for a fleet... It's clear the writer is just pulling plot out of his backside... anything to avoid coming to a conclusion and end to the series. It's all about more episodes, more money now, not the story. GoT has become a parody of itself.
  14. Not sure why Tryamkin is listed here as a prospect... he is no prospect, he is a starter.
  15. At the risk of inflating Boeser's skills, his shooting skills are quite remarkable. His ability to place the puck in exactly the right spot, to put it in the small space which is available over the goalie's shoulder or under the bar... last time I saw someone with this level of accuracy, his name was Bossy.
  16. Burr is always clutch. I'll miss him if he's gone... but it's up to Trevor and Benning... they'll make the best decision. When he does retire, they should put him in the Ring.
  17. Brock Boeser named to the NCAA Western Division 1st Allstar team: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/harvard-s-jimmy-vesey-wins-2016-hobey-baker-award-004928872.html Nice honour for someone who is a Rookie. Unfortunately, Demko was robbed of the Hobey Baker award, although he did win the Mike Richter award for Best Goalie.
  18. What's with the personal harassment?

     

    The post is a perfectly reasonable suggestion.

     

    You could have PM'd me and I would have added the tag.

     

    Next time I get another one of these biased shutdowns I am going to write a letter to the management of the forums.

      I try to be objective with everyone unless they literally just refuse to see any other argument except their own.  Or are intentionally trolling or childish.

       

      Again, add content, tags and discussion but at no time let childish issues get to you.  or you end up with 8 ish points like I have and then...you know.


      As well, again putting a mod on blast does you no good.  I got 3 points in 1 night because I had a difference of opinion in regards to the game and who deserved the win more with a VERY less than impartial mod during last years losing game to calgary

       

      Literally no point fighting a mod.  Just go about your business

      My comment on your thread reflected the quality of your OP. You have created a few decent threads, I'll give you that, but cranking out as many as you do and you're bound to get a simple response like mine that day. Live with it.

       

      I'm equally capable of participating in a thoughtful discussion as I am in showing what I feel is a lack of (subjectively) critical thought by means of bluntly calling you out, or in that specific case, potty humour. If you like I can l find posts of yours I wholeheartedly agree with next time and frame a compliment sandwich for you. It's obvious you aren't a troll, but that specific thread inspired that specific response. I stand by it, although might have changed the wording to reflect not "all" of your threads, just that one and one or 2 others.

       

      Lot's of people peruse this board and that leads to quite a diversity of opinions. You know what the irony here is, your thread about complaining to the league (as if CDC has any weight with the NHL brass what-so-ever) has resulted in an indirect complaint about my post. You want to know what I think? You could probably let both pass you by. 

       

      As for your assesment of @Templeton Peck 's response; it isn't excuses in my mind. @Warhippy is pretty much bang on. I'll add that if you don't like a post of mine, report it. He'll likely show me the door if I cross a line.

      I wasn't trying to make any excuses, but rather trying to explain that I wasn't harassing you, I was simply responding to a report.

       

      If you do have an issue with another user like mentioned it is best to send in a report with details. You might not always get the response you want, but we will definitely look into it.

       

      In the future please use a PM to discussing moderating issues, as that is the proper channel for discussions like these as per the board rules.

  19. Hello StealthNuck

     

    I asked you to move the thread, not lock it.

     

    The post is valid... just move it.

      Please some more thought and effort into your threads and where you post them. We're often locking or moving yours and it's getting rather tiresome.

      you should make like 5 of them in a row to prove your point ;D

  20. Burr usually plays well vs Hawks. He was offensively positioned as good as he has been all season in this game. In his prime he would have had 3 goals in this game and an assist... he got one. Still finding ways to contribute though.
  21. Why did you lock my thread??????

     

    There are dozens and dozens of whiners and crybabies posting complaints about Benning and there have been dozens and dozens of threads screaming for this veteran or player to be traded and none of them get locked.

     

    So when one poster points out those who insisted every vet should be traded are now seeing what they wanted in a nose diving team... you then close it?

     

    What is this>>>>?  Censorship?

      Buzzfeed: at the current pace we will be the last place team in the league. Last place team will pick latest 4th overall. Please go read the draft lottery rules, thanks.

      The worst that can happen is we drop three places if we don't win any of the top 3 draft spots. We're likely going to finish either 29th or 30th which means we'd be guaranteed a top 5 pick (could be higher if we win a top 3 draft lottery spot).

       

      Sounds like the one who needs to re-read the rules is you.

      2 ridiculous proposals never got locked yesterday and  today, and i'm wondering why? i guess they stood alone , NOT being redundant?

  22. Kid is MAJOR STUD. Leave him in College for one more year, then bring him directly to Canucks... no Utica.
