  1. This lineup is going to be interesting for sure. Has the entire team had a team skate yet? Just brutal, indeed.
  2. I'm not being sarcastic, but if they win 5 of the remaining games, they deserve the first overall. The worst possible schedule ever drawn up for this team, the Olympic break was a cake walk compared to this.
  3. I can only think of two players in the history of this team that were given up too early. I've been here since they joined the NHL as well. Cam Neely and to a certain extent Michael Grabner. Honourable mention Mike Peca, but his career was shortened by injury. Would he have been concussed here or elsewhere?
  4. Let him come in at the beginning of next season. Let's see what Lind, Rathbone, McEwen, JH, Vesey, and all the others have to offer as well.
  5. Us, as well. Probably 25 people in the waiting/observing area after their shots, but, double that in traffic control, medical people, and cleaning folks. Very efficient indeed, and professional. The facility in Burnaby, the old Fortius site is the perfect spot for this battle. Why send people to hospitals for vaccinations?
  6. My wife and I went through several lines prior to getting our first vaccination. I was asked by a doctor no less, if I had any questions. My question was how long before we get to visit our grandkids, etc. Her answer, 2 to 3 weeks. My wife said that she asked if it might be sooner than the 16 weeks between Pfizer shots, and she was told they are saying that because they don't want people's hopes to be dashed if supplies become an issue. We were also told, that if you have an appointment date, and you happen to show up at a center prior to that date, and they have extra vaccinations leftover, ie: no shows or cancellations, they will more than likely accept you.
  7. "I like it", as Mikey used to say! Anyone old enough to remember "Mikey"?
  8. Glad the MD said, even among healthy, young athletes. How the NHL expects the Canucks to play out the season after this is beyond boggling. I know these athletes would hate to say they can't go, but, I wouldn't want to have to make this decision to continue. Worse case, more injuries, best case, none.
  9. In which game did this injury occur? Was it the last game against Winnipeg? I didn't see anything that looked serious to him or Sutter.
  10. I don't want to piss on your cornflakes, but....why would you wish, or bet against anyone getting this damn virus? I know too many people that have gone through it, ranging from a positive test to death.
  11. In the past two years, I've found the flu shot to be flawless. I haven't had any, and I mean any flu like symptoms at all. Over the years I've either gotten a bit of a "bug", and/or a cold. Hopefully the Pfizer vaccine works as well. My wife and I got our first shot on Monday, all I can report for side effects is a bit of a sore arm for a few hours. I'm 73, my wife is 70. I have no preconditions, she diabetes. We can't wait for the two to three weeks to pass so we can see a few more people outside our home. Friends and family are once again shopping for us, but, we have no reason to be out and about. I walk daily, at least an hour and a half, and scored a spin bike to ride in case the weather is to terrible to venture out. I do however think that this virus has been around a bit longer than previously reported. At least some variant of it has. As a few of you above are saying, some of our friends have gone through the same flu like symptoms as you, and nothing was pin pointed, other than being the flu.
  12. Two goals off the Canuck D, one a skate, the other a knee, and CDC is calling for the GM and HC's heads. Frustrating as hell, but its hockey. I want to see more OJ on the ice, less Benn, and I hope that Jake never plays another game in a Canuck uni. 7 years of development and he doesn't get it. Did he ever have it? Watching Hoglander take on guys twenty pounds heavier, 5 inches taller is very refreshing. If he can do it in this short sample piece, where in hell is Jake? He hasn't earned a spot on this roster. Another rant, I think the Roussel experiment has sailed. Too many stupid penalties, and he isn't effective in the offensive zone at all.
  13. That hit on Justin Bailey by Lucic, anyone else but me think it was on the numbers? Sure looked like it to me.
  14. My eyes would be bleeding if I would have had to endure the Coilers play by play guy. He's goddamn awful. Nothing wrong with Debrusk though, he knows the game.
  15. I have to ask VC, are you sitting close to Ben Kuzma? I swear I hear him talking.
  16. Keep the videos coming, we all love this! The post above was my failed attempt at sarcasm!
  17. So, has hockey started, or when do you think it will??
