      It's a darned shame we don't have our own subforum here where we could chat amiably about hockey and other things without constant backsass. But it isn't our world anymore, we're left to plug along best we can.

       

      Shame, that.

      I get that Joe, and my Dad never got to see the Canucks win a Stanley Cup, and I am beginning to think I won't either, but how about you break that slump! I am 58 so I would love if you did!

      Cheers!

      my brother, a great canuck fan, died in 1999 at a canuck's training camp in kelowna..he never got to see one either....but i'm convinced and always taught my players, that if they gave everything they got and lost, they would still be winners in my books..my cup is being able to enjoy canuck games and the effort the players give...win or lose.

  7. any word on bearschi?

    1. Green Building

      Green Building

      Not yet. Expect one of 2 updates today:
      1- He's okay and taking him out was precautionary, or
      2- We are further evaluating his injury, expect another update            soon

  8. virtanen is always engaged in the play, but like his canucks, shoots the puck right at the goalie..

      When did Ryan Kesler minus the give a damn wear 18 in red?

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i have no idea what that means......sounds very disrespectful ....

  9. does anyone else believe that virtanen plays more effective on the left side...played there for the hitmen...

      I love playing shinny on my offside. It always puts you in a shooting position. 

      With Jakes Shot being one of his best qualities I think he should be a LW (he can replace Higgins :) )

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i think gaunce will eventually replace higgins...jake may end up as a number 1 or 2 lw....the canucks need to replace the sedans in a couple more years...that won't be easy....willie likes good defensive players on each line...that is why higgy is still with the team....i believe gaunce can play good defensive hockey...we'll see.

    4. Darkstar

      Virtanen is most effective when he's not in the lineup.

  10. before supper, the turkey was stuffed, now i am....i know how the turkey felt.

  13. i say, horvat gets a goal this game...go bo.

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      team played well, just couldn't score....looking more like a high draft pick...

  14. i could see it costing tanev, a prospect and a first for shattenkirk...#1 d-men aren't easy to come by...we may not have the players to get it done...

  15. i go through the season with the team...go through ecstasy with the good times and through agony with the bad times...but i'm part of whatever happens...

  16. i thought the boys played their guts out yesterday...they are just not in chicago's class right now....secondary scoring and a quicker defense with more scoring ability....it will take benning some time to build it.

    1. Twilight Sparkle

      Twilight Sparkle

      i agree joe. it was a crap shoot going into the third but the hawks demonstrated how to dissect a team when it matters

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      they have more speed and talent..not our guys fault.....i don't know, what this team will look like for us to be that competitive, but we have to go through this to get to there...

    3. Shift-4

      Shift-4

      I agree with you Joe.
      Just no finish last night.
      It was really a 2-0 game with that second goal coming mid way through the third.
       

  17. don't expect major changes right now...i can see them picking up a forward to help at centre ice....this off season will see bigger moves...

    1. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      who expected major changes joe?

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      some people have traded almost everyone off this roster....they judge benning by how big a move he makes...he is sticking to his plan but might pick up short turn centre till sutter is back...

  18. if benign is looking for a centre to help for now, i'm thinking, he might be able to pick up a guy like lars eller...he has been rumoured in trade talks before....if he could get tinordi too...that might work...

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Proposed that yesterday S Joe, it's a match made in Heaven.

      Vrrby with $ retained?

  19. i'ld sure like to know what the brain trust is planning, to turn the ship around..not easy, but i'm sure they have a plan...sutter and hutton will help but, so many areas that the canucks are not good enough in....the talent they need isn't readily available or too costly...

  20. i believe, benning is working on a trade as we speak...he said, he is looking for more scoring but i think he can't be happy with the defense...

      I wouldnt mind  seeing a Jovocop, Lumme or Ohlund  out there Joe  : )

  21. elliotte friedman says he thinks that shattenkirk could help this team..does that sound familiar?

      I see an away game Dec 15, and a home game Feb 15. We have 3 games vs them this year

    3. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      i thought we only played every team outside our division twice....

    4. Master Mind

      Master Mind

      I think that's only the case vs east teams. Central teams get 3 games each

  23. cheech was saying that carolina scouts have been following the canucks around.....?

      This means that the Staal bros will be canucks soon 

  24. another metis...greetings....do you have your ancestors traced back?

    1. Chalky

      Chalky

      I don't have a ton of info but it's coastal, my Grandmother always said it was a Gitksan tribe, but my Great Uncle always said Haida....which makes more sense because he was involved in the expedition to bring the Totems to the Museum of Anthropology in the 50s. 

    2. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      gitksan are up my way, while haida is coastal natives....

    3. Chalky

      It's a healthy mix regardless, I know some of my family came from even further North than Smithers.
