  1. I may be wrong, but I think @Apricot is actually a lady. I seem to recall a conversation on a game day thread where she revealed this and a few people were aghast.
  2. Good luck burying him in Utica...might have to check if New Jersey are OK with that.
  3. Im no expert but the way i see things the team is on a build up. Guys in the system like Mac, Highmore, Motte, Lind, Lockwood and Gadjovich will be introduced to the line up over the next two seasons to replace Beagle ($3M) Roussel ($3M), Virtanen ($2.55M), Sutter ($4.375). The past history of paying overs for the bottom six is being addressed, its not an instant fix but the process in well underway. i am not suggesting the players i mentioned above are directly replacing the veterans but they will be working towards that goal, allowing for more dollars available to be spent on the top 6 or defence. I personally am ok with this and am willing to see perseverance by management. I think there is a lot to look forward to, I just dont think I can get onboard with any more contracts for overpaid bottom six players, I feel the team in general is past that stage. We have enough young talent that have taken control and are ready to lead the team to success, Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser , Hughes and Demko are leaders and excel at what they do. Surrounded by other vets which we already have. I feel positive in what Jim is doing and excited about next year
  4. Why are you SHOUTING at me?
  5. It will be a nightmare if they start in Utica!!!! Abbotsford is ok but not Utica.
  6. Ive seen enough of Lockwood now to say if Boyd, Vesey, Hawleryuk, Michaelis or Erricksen get a start before him, Im done. Kids got wheels and lots of drive. I like it a lot!!!!
  7. Its 3.30 am in Sydney , ive been on the cans since yesterday... im hoping i can hang out till game time...things could get a little messy. GCG
  8. That is some mad skillz right there....Tanev able to chew gum with his 3 teeth!!!....(it's just a joke people- I love Tanev)
  9. Thanks for the clarification @rychicken and @Slegr most appreciated for your response.
  10. Can anyone give me an understanding of why Gadjovich didnt get in the line up tonight? Is there an issue? I would also like to see Lockwood get a game, just to see what he looks like. I am ready to not see Vesey, Michealis and Boyd ( ive seen enough to know I don't want to see anymore from them)
  11. That power play was like chopped onions....it brought tears to my eyes!
  12. Looks like Miller is all aboard team tank with the slashing penalties and Demko is saying "not on my watch!"
  13. We use nicknames all the time between my friends/team mates down here in Australia. There has been some very creative stuff which makes us all laugh a lot, it can be as simple as what you wear to your first training session with the new team, ( we had a Austria guy play on our soccer team, he wore a shirt with the word Osmosis across the front so he instantly became "Aussie" he loved it) One friends last name is Ball, so he got balled "Bags" his older brother was "big bags" and his sister was "No Bags". My brother resembles Meatloaf in appearance so he is know as "The Loaf"
  14. I hear you @debluvscanucks, I am on team tank, but so happy to see the team win tonight. Especially the young guys, it gives me hope that the future is in good hands. Less vets and more youth for the rest of this year please Mr Green!
  15. He took some time to develop a lot of people were calling it a bad pick, but sometimes defenders take time to become great players. He does most things very well and is a pain in the backside to play against. The Canucks need more of that! Thats why I think OJ just needs more time, I feel we will have a good one in him, just more time required for him to develop ( totally different player compared to Nurse)
  16. @WHL rocks yes i agree with you, Nurse is big and can rock guys but i would still like to see Mac put a few on his chin...he has a head that requires a few punches!
  17. Im enjoying the game and watching the kids play. I hope we continue to see them in the line up. Nothing to lose this season
  18. The feed I have is from Edmonton and the commentary is so one sided its appalling. Very hard to watch with a straight face to be honest. I just hope we can hang on, would love to beat them.
