  1. Who would have predicted the Kraken to be this bad in their inaugural season?

     

    To think the bookies had the Kraken being above the Canucks in standings and in the playoffs…

      They went young and stole one of our B level prospects in Lind (i am still sad about it) instead of some defence, goaltending etc.

      They also had the option of getting Carey Price from MTL but chose not to. A lot of questionable picks but I did like the Yanni Gourde and McCann pick ups. Smart picks for great players.

      I think they realized that it was slim pickings out there and didn't get offers for draft considerations like Vegas did. Instead they are like any other expansion draft before them and they are going through the pains of being the newest franchise. At least they'll have drafts and the fact they are a low tax state so FA will be attracted to there.

      One huge factor to consider is that Seattle currently has $21M of cap space. I expected them to use it, but maybe they're waiting for the 2022 off season.

      Their goaltending sucks.  Imagine us with their goaltending.

  2. Good points… But I believe Russia is only interested in taking Eastern Ukraine..
  3. Your last statement is ludicrous… we all know from history how well forcibly moving people from their traditional lands/territory works there is nothing but bloodshed and violence… Also these two regions have already defacto declared independence from Ukraine so it is only a matter of time till they are absorbed by Russia or become proxy states. Russia and Belarus are union countries they have military agreements to protect each other… This mostly an attempt to scare Ukraine into giving up so Russia can absorb the two Russian speaking Far East territories… Russia invading Kiev is nothing but fear mongering and suicidal.
  4. If Covid cases increase should the season be canceled? Or delayed? 
     

    This unfair that the NHL is willing to allow games to continue with players going down.

      @Coconuts The only special treatment we get are negative ones :)

      the league isn't going to cancel the season. that's a ton of revenue lost. 

       

  5. Yes but these people are ethically Russian and have already declared independence from Ukraine. The whole region is called “New Russia.” They have no connection to Ukraine other than residing in a former Ukrainian territory. I believe if the will of the people exists they should cede and join Russia..
  6. This all misinformation… They only want the Russian speaking Eastern half of Ukraine like Donbas and Donetsk.. They would never be able to reach Kiev. I personally support the right of Russia to take those regions as they are ethically Russian speaking and in a overwhelming majority of joining Russia. They have already declared independence from Ukraine and wish to cede with Russia.
  7. Looks like this anchor has had enough... Never laughed so hard lol..
  8. IMO we should be sellers now as the playoffs are seeming more and more unlikely… Try to unload the plugs and bad contracts… If we didn’t lose the last three and overtime loses I would say we need to be buyers..
  9. Fire Bruce!

     

     :bigblush:
     

     

    kidding but I am thinking playoffs are long gone now.. 

  10. So I understand getting rid of the Loui meme emoji because he is no longer on the team, but why get rid of the paper bag “rough game” emoji? 
     

    How else can we show displeasure in someones post?

      I thought it was a joke myself. Like forget it ever happened kinda thing. Anyways there needs to be a downvote of some sort. Neutral points wise. Just seems like there will be just more name calling. Slap a confused face and move on

      @Devron same here, I interpreted it as a joke from the mods, we have some here that are quite cheeky I think. :lol:

      @6of1_halfdozenofother this, but also you can see a few users only posting memes/funny pictures/funny one-liners for the sake of fishing for upvotes and having a high reputation score, while adding nothing to the discussion.

       

      I just liked the previous version better, when there was a single upvote button and a single downvote and that's it. Or perhaps go back to a single upvote button and nothing else. CDC just looked cleaner and slicker that way for me anyways, I don't like these 6 or 7 different emojis for basically the same thing.

  11. Him and Ferland have been very disappointing and have been eating up payroll for too long.. I blame the Lames...
  12. Anyone else frustrated with bad BC drivers in winter? I just witnessed two near accidents in a span of 1 min….

     

    There should be mandatory training for how to do drive in winter..

      Drivers in the Lower Mainland are pretty horrendous on a sunny, dry day let alone in a snowstorm. The lack of situational awareness that about half the drivers on the road have is inexcusable. What does one expect when an insurance company is licensing drivers.

      Drivers are bad everywhere. You just have to be good enough to avoid them

      Seems the common denominator in both of those incidents is you.... hahaha

  13. Yes but thankfully we don't have that pesky TV License...
  14. This and I am pretty sure Zack is worth more than Halak… at least a 2nd or 3rd rounder.. And I agree in order to have realistic proposals you have to take in consideration the other teams needs and wants.. Otherwise it is like if A homer was making trades on NHL 22.
  15. My take is it will take another 5-10 years to be competitive.. similar to what we experienced in the early 2000s to 2011…. We need to trade minimal and develop through the draft the correct way by not trading anymore 1st rounders and drafting well if we suck. Trade JT IF we can’t resign him and sign more decent FAs…/get rid of the trash and bad contracts.
  16. Funny in 2020 the family and I went near his house because there is a beautiful beach behind his property and I swear I saw him smoking a cigar playing mini golf in the back yard… The neighbourhood in which the house is built on is crap with broken down houses nearby..
  17. Christmas lights and decorations past January 1st yes or no?

      Our family always took Christmas decorations down twelve days after Christmas day, so January 6th.

      We set up early. Take down a couple days after Christmas. Like to start the new year fresh. Get things done

      My sons love the fact there are two Christmas days, one on the 25th of December and the other on January 7th. So the decorations come down January 8th.

  18. IMO these counter measures are a little too late…the environment is already showing signs of decay and damage. We should have never used plastic in the first place or the very least stop like decades ago… I always laugh at the illusion of living in the western world; nice clean suburbs and streets and when In reality it is not really like that. Just my two cents…
  19. My second favourite team is the Kraken because of their close proximity to Vancouver and the fact for their logo, team colors, and roster. Actually what the heck I like everything Kraken.. But… Vancouver Canucks all the way Go Canucks Go!!
  20. Ryan Kesler for Hall of Fame? 
     

    :lol:

      Sure HoF, but certainly not from his work with the Canucks, or the NHL. 

  21. Again I will say it this every year this thread is insensitive and should be banned…
