      If Calgary, Columbus and Edmonton win their next game and we lose we drop to 3rd last!

      Here lies Lester Moore.

      Four slugs from a 44.

      No Les,

      No More.

      No Gary no cry.

  4. so many gm's, so many opinions...if some wannabe gm's says a player shouldn't be here, than of course, he shouldn't be here...
  5. i wonder if trymakin and pedan play together?

      two rookies playing as a pair...why not! that would create chemistry between the two right from the beginning. but probably won't happen.

      i was referring to the language....

      i doubt that would help a lot honestly.

  6. if there was nothing to complain about, some people would complain, that there wasn't anything to complain about...cdc.

  7. i thought sergashev was a rd...but in juniors he shoots left and plays the left side...

  8. i wonder if, there will ever be owners, management teams, coaches, players, trainers, stick boys that this fan base could ever appreciate what they do?...probably not...

      I do!  Just a few bad apples Joe. ;)

      For years people dumped all over Pat Quinn. He wasn't perfect, and his scouting was weak. But he could deal. He also was a steady hand behind the bench that players would go through walls for. He took a team that was the punchline of the NHL and turned it into a competitor and a tough opponent. Pat even got the Leafs to the conference finals. THE LEAFS!!?!??! Now that tells you all you need to know.

      i can remember, some fans wanting the canucks to trade linden because he was not a scrapper...some fans, haven't changed.

  9. why are all the posts now, just tearing down..?...it seems that cdc just singles out each player in line and discusses their weaknesses....i know i have a lot of faults but i hope people will also find something positive to say about me...

      So much easier for people to hate these days for some reason Joe : (   People dont realize how good we have it. Let alone being able to cheer for a sports team in country where we are not starving, being destroyed by natural disasters not being sniped or bombed by foreign forces.  I count myself lucky every day waking up in this peaceful slumber of Canada.

       

      Perspective is paramount.

      the young players are improving..showing us how the future might look...do we talk about that?...no just the deficiencies of others...

      i look forward to benning building a strong team here...i know it will take time...hopefully he can add a dd, od and some toughness...

  10. the games tonight between edmonton and columbus will be interesting in the standings.

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      IIRC if Edmonton wins, we're only two points ahead of them in the standings.

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      one point ahead of them...if they win in overtime...columbus moves one point ahead of us...7th place is up for grabs....if buffalo and arizona win tomorrow night..5th place...the race for first place...

      chirelli needs to have talk with conner, not really falling in line with their tank plan.

  11. calgary is in 29th place...

      tanking hard for that 1st pick..

      Jeezus guys, we're in the five hole (tied with three other teams) tonight!

    4. Piggy Bank

      Piggy Bank

      Gaudreau...Monahan...Laine.... looks good to me.

  12. are any of the top d-men in the draft, ready to step into the nhl next season or are they one or more years away..?...

      by all reports, chychrun has underwhelmed this year and could be passed by 2 d-man....time will tell...

    3. stawns

      stawns

      I've said all along I thought Chycrun was not going to end up being the best dman in the draft.  I like the russian kid

    4. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      Chychrun has name recognition, so you'll hear a lot about him,but if I'm the Canucks and Julolevi or Sergachyov is available, I'm thrilled.

  13. a flames, jets, sabres win tonight coupled with a canuck's loss will put 6 teams within 2 points of the 3rd over-all pick..

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      so negative joe,, you think you're a real fan. get a clue, we're making the playoffs and hitting 100 points like management said.

      anything can happen...i only want the boys to give it their all...

      i always told my players that if they give everything they got, then win or lose they were winners to me...we have a lot of teams to jump over....we are closer to the end than we are to a playoff spot...

      higher draft pick is the consolation for missing out...i'm good with either result...thank for keeping me honest.

  14. i don't know what was offered for hamhuis but i guess it was enough...sorry, i wasn't there..

  15. you'ld have to think if hamhuis plays today, he won't be moving...why would you take a chance on him getting injured...

      we still don't know for sure that dan waived his ntc...we are just taking it for granted...he only said he might....

  16. i wonder if benning can make any moves that somebody won't disagree with?...maybe he shouldn't make any moves...don't want to offend the fans.

      Nope, he can trade an AHLer for a young NHLer and everyone here is furious, so...

    3. Smiley2051

      We could have at least given the bag of cheetos a few more games, you know to see what we got..

    4. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      true. maybe he's got a few cheesy goals left in him yet.

  17. the bottom 5 teams will probably be the only teams with a shot at a top 3 pick...there should be a good d prospect available for us...

  18. i'll be glad when the trade deadline is over, so canuck fans can find something new to complain about. hurry sundown.

  19. rollie and me....descendants of charles melanson born in 1642 and married to anne dugas....in port royal, acadia nova scotia..

    cousin rollie....

  20. i think rodin might fit into the right side with sutter and granlund...i don't know how sound rodin's defensive game is but having sutter and granlund with him should keep that line strong defensively..could be a dangerous line.
  21. jb feels it is a good deal...that's good enough for me...build this team jb.

      that's possible....they know, all the details...

      lee goren rulez69

      top AHL prospect for a guy who is waiver eligible next season and cant crack the NHL. linden vey 2.0.  we dont need anymore marginal AHL/NHL depth centers on this team . benning should stop trying to fast track his way to a rebuild and just hold on to our young assets/picks instead of dumping them for trash

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      we will see what he has in store...i like vey a lot.... he has a great future in my opinion.......benning called in all his scouts and parlayed prior to what ever they do, this trade deadline....i'm looking forward to it....i'm sure he won't make every fan happy but so be it..it is called managing a team...

  22. lumme is living in vancouver...that could be helpful if he get one of the fins...he says, he's has some conversations with them...

      he was such a smooth skater...probably in the top 10 d-men to play for canucks...along with ohlund and salo....great europeans...

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      reinhart is still my favourite....

    4. ShakyWalton

      ShakyWalton

      I used to like Kevin McCarthy alot

  23. ducks are doing to calgary what they did to the canucks...

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      5 to 1 for the ducks now...

  24. if canucks win first overall pick, will they get first pick in every round?

    1. Gstank29

      Gstank29

      No only in the first round does the pick change

    2. Salmonberries

      Salmonberries

      Yes that's right, In the event you do win the lottery you revert back to your reverse standings spot in subsequent rounds.

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      thanks, i wasn't sure.

  25. how about hamhuis to dallas for stephan johns and a 3rd round pick...

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i would rather, he was re-signed for 2 more years....but fans want everyone gone...if he was to be traded, i'ld take that return, with a conditioal first round pick if they re-sign him...we will be weaker for it in the short term.....

    3. Baer.

      Baer.

      Highly doubt Johns actually reaches his potential.

    4. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      so, do we trade hammer or keep him.?...not for just anyone but only top prospects....
