  1. I hope this is a joke.. what a sick thread wishing or predicting death upon people.. Please lock this thread. Especially during the time of COVID. The insensitive nature..
  2. For me it was creating legislation on the fly that was disturbing.. When you say something and then do the opposite. She was strongly opposed in the beginning and then changed her tune on the fly. Creating fines to already cash stripped Canadians is just the icing on the cake for me. Seems like a cash grab to me. Also there needs to be more peer reviewed research to suggest social distancing and mask wearing actually does something.
  3. I think Bill has enough money.. I am starting to think life is just a giant pyramid scheme. I am assuming the OP saw the tv commercial or ads on the internet before posting this? Anyway I signed up because hey it is free money.
  4. I blame the modern education system.. too busy teaching concepts that have no real world value. People should be taught more about sociology, psychology, and personal finance. What is person supposed do in the real world with the Quadratic Formula?
  5. Well lets just hope you live in your 100's...
  6. Yes I wear my seatbelt because I rather not go through the windshield in a accident.. Just like I wear a mask but don't see it mandatory. But creating legislation on the fly is unfair and unjust.. especially when you tell people you won't be enforcing a mandatory mask rule. IMO this is just another opportunity for some politicians to finally flex their muscles and get the 15 minutes of fame.
  7. I doubt he will be back now.. the team is going towards a young blood direction and like others have said has passed his prime. But I will surely miss him especially during his prime during the Olympics and playoffs. Too bad he got canned voicing his opinion.
  8. This has to be up with Don Cherry and company.. minus the racism and you people comments. Another icon of the Canucks crushed...
  9. While I agree with most of what you have said I don't agree with the sudden change of policy on Dr. Bonnie Henrys part and on the fly rule making. The masks can still spread the virus if someone takes it off and forgets to sanitize them. Either way please end this pandemic
  10. I wear the mask but in great distain and thank the heavens there is a vaccine coming so all of this will be in the history books and all the politicians can be put back in their places. This 15 minutes of fame stuff with some of the rules.
  11. Even though I personally wear a mask just because of the feel of it especially during winter I formally believe people should have the right to wear one or not.. IMO people improperly wearing masks do more harm than ones who don't.. The evidence behind them saving lives is also iffy.
  12. Very poor decision on the franchise... it goes in part with mask wearers who improperly wear them. Early on Dr. Bonnie Henry stated she didn't want to enforce a mandatory mask rule now she has down a complete 180 on this decision... I just can't wait till this COVID-19 nonsense is over
  13. Meh what a bush league of a list! There is no way Ovi is #14 on the list and McDavid #2...
  14. It is hard to believe the only reason Loui was brought in was to play with Sedins whom retired prematurely and he is still here lol.. I think they were hoping the Sedins played till their forties with Loui seeing how they had some success together in international competition for Sweden.
  15. What about Archery? It is like a larger version of Darts.
  16. Finally someone is in the know. Wake up people economic slavery is real! but unfortunate for the pipes to run smooth it requires a steady supply of slaves with fancy job titles to make them feel better. I have always wondered why they never teach modern finance in school. If more people were financially sound it would hurt the elite badly.... Just yesterday I witness someone purchase $115 worth of stamps at the post office. Stamps I tell you. Please teach your children and loved ones the value of money even if you're wealthy or not. There are people literally busting their backs for it everyday. /end rant.
  17. Funny you stated that.. There is a conspiracy theory called Gematria that states celebs die on specific dates according to numbers and events.. They way you figure that out is how it works. https://gematriaeffect.news
  18. Let us hope he lives up to expectations... and not bust out.
  19. Why does it seem like this team has regressed this year? We have virtually no cap with key players leaving and hard/crippling money spent on the bottom 6.

     

    Will we even make the playoffs this year?

      It might be a step back, but we'll also be only 1 yr from dumping all excess, toxic-sludge contracts.

      Everything is up in the air(society & pro sport), so it's pretty early to be too concerned.

       

      As for Jacob & CT, glad they could cash in with nice deals. Hope they play well, but not vs Van.

       

      I'm pretty excited to see more of our youth shuffled into the deck.

      You know, Nate Schmidt could have a major impact on the back end.  Not JT level maybe but enough of an impact that he really helps the team.  And perhaps JB perhaps JB is making the right call letting a bunch of young players push for spots.  The opportunity is there-maybe we see some of them seize it.  Team might actually improve all around if goaltending can hold its own.

      ya if we kept markstrom wed lose demko  to expansion going younger us key  we upgraded tanev with schmidt  and  juolevi is bigger and has better outlet passes than a small stecher ever had.  We couldnt get out of our zone in playoffs versus  vegas  time to let hoglander juolevi macewen rafferty 

      push the vets out. Sutter baertchi spooner  edler benn pearson off books  next yr im sure they will ask edler back on a 1-2 mill comtract   frees up 20-21 mill for hughes pettersson contracts  and hoglander and podzolkin will be on team as well  our cup windows open next 5-10 yrs 

  20. IMO it goes Luongo, McLean, and anyone else in bold. He would 4th best on my list. If stayed here longer and maybe took us deep into the playoffs/finals then I could see him being second best. But no one will come close to Bobby Lou.
  21. Not to bash Markstrom but that statement is ludicrous lol.. He was not even supposed to be our starter instead was brought until Demko blossomed. His role on the team diminished in these playoffs and you could sense he was on the way out.
  22. It is nice that players actually want come here unlike years past where we would have to overpay them. I hope we can land a decent FA.

      Dan Hamhuis turned down a higher offer to sign here.

  23. Elliotte Friedman stated the Canucks are frontrunners for OEL.. How do we afford him? and do we need him?

      ^ Not necessarily. Sutter, for example, can go the other way to free up some cap and Arizona could also take some of the burden of the money themselves.

       

      Do we need him? We do not but it would still be nice to have him if the price is right. The fact that he wants to play here is cool.

      We only really afford him if say say goodbye to substantial UFAs/RFAs. It makes sense that if we get OEL, we say goodbye to Tanev, so there's one, but we'd likely have to also consider holding off on others that need to be paid like Stecher, Gaudette, Leivo, Fantenberg, and Motte. Not all of those maybe and none of those are huge money, but added up, that could be $5M - $8M possibly. We already know Toffoli isn't staying (probably), but that was almost already a result of the existing cap issues. Virtanen would be possible if he was already qualified, which means we're stuck with him unless we trade him.

       

      Aside from that, they would need to take on cap in return, which would make it a little easier.

       

      Personally, I don't think it's worth it, even if they take a little bit of cap in return, but I'm willing to be wrong.

      Is it possible that they can retain only the cap and we pay all of the salary?

  24. Him and Pekka Rinne have really gone downhill, but I guess it is understandable considering their ages. Too bad both had to play on crappy teams.
