  1. LOL I agree. People that think that Vancouver is the best city in the world probably has never been in the intl departure area of YVR . This one person in my FB shared a link years on how English Bay is one of the best beaches in the world, hahahah geez clearly sounds like somebody has never travelled before
  2. hmmmm, if you are reffering to a certain strip club in Montreal, trust me, its overrated. Cheap though, I'll give you that
  3. Yup, people need to get out of their bubbles to realize theres many many more cities that are just as, if not more desirable. Living in SJ and Anaheim is defintely a massive draw to a lot of players. You get all the perks of living in California and yet afforded a pretty safe family life. Notice how players who end up playing for the Ducks or Sharks end up staying there? (if they weren't traded) Ive been to both cities a number of times and they are both wonderful places to live and build roots According to Ray Ferraro a few years back, apparently Buffalo is quite underrated. The Sabres themselves are practically a con, but players seem to love the city of Buffalo itself
  4. I used to think that, but not lately. The random violence thats been happening in DT, stabbings, people getting attacked. I work in DT and my head is on a swivel everytime I walk in the streets. DT Vancouver has turned into an absolute cesspool, and the gov ain't fixing anything
  5. I agree thats why Ive been harping on the farm team should be playing a major part in the teams success, not just 1st rounders just making it to the team. Tampa Bay's roster has a lot of players that were groomed in Syracuse, not just 1st round talents but mid round picks that are playing key roles for their team. Pittsburgh practically created a new window for the team with the simple fact that their farm team was developing players up the brim that they are able to supplement Malkin, Crosby and Letang fresh legs to work with.
  6. Its a waste of time debating with Dazzle. The guy is a massive Benning fanboy. Just look at his posts, the guy gets massively offended when people dare diss his precious Jimbo.
  7. Proof is in the pudding. Best stretch of JT Miller? Pearson was on his wing. Best stretch of Bo Horvat? Pearson was on his wing
  8. Almo can go 55 minutes through a game doing nothing, then for a few shifts, you'd think he's one of the best players in the planet. When Almo turned it on, the guy was an absolutely elite player
  9. Probably the best win of the season so far, even more impressive than the Flames win a few weeks back. The boys emptied the tank tonight despite the dumba$$ refs calling a horrible game
  10. People seriously underrate Tanner Pearson's importance to the team, they think its just some schmoe that has a cap hit that we need to get rid off. The guy makes smart plays and does a lot of the spade work. Guess whos on the ice in the last minutes preserving the lead? As per usual, its Tanner "EN" Pearson. Even just by his numbers, that sounds about right for a guy that makes about a 3 million dollar salary. Remember Petey's semi breakaway? Not the greatest move trying a between the legs shot, but Tanner on his 2 on 1, shot and a rebound. Safe and effective play, won't make it to the highlight reel. JT and Bo play well when Pearson's on their wing so that speaks volumes
  11. Its a nice feather in the cap but hardly moving the needle. If he does get into Abby, Im not too confident about our guys developing there considering the track record. Hopefully JR and PA can fix that. A lot of people thought Lind, Gadj were sure fire NHLers, theyre not. Even all the hype with Aiden McDonough. Its nice that hes doing good in the collegiate level, but lets get real now, he's not remotely as good as Gaudette was, and Gauds is barely holding on to an NHL job
  12. Hope that bald idiot dies in his sleep. The world is gonna be a better place with that piece of trash 6 feet under , or in a vat of nuclear waste, whatever the hell they do over there in russia
  13. yup. I actually wouldn't mind if the vax passes was kept going forward. Keeps the morons away, and brunch lineups short
  14. Im skeptic about the Dermott deal, maybe it might work out. Could turn out to be Pouliot? or Erhoff? the guy just needed a change of scenery so who knows but changes need to be made. Poolman Hamonic and Schenn are basically the same type of players And yeah, I agree Hamonic is a chump. Good riddance with that tin foiled idiot. But muh muh fReEduMs!
  15. Blame our moron of a GM who apparently said we "ran out of time" but dived in head first on Holtby on the first day of UFA season
  16. LE is way better than Dickenson. At the very least LE had a role and hes somewhat competent defensively. Dickenson is 2- way trash, he sucks on both ends of the ice, doesn't play PP, terrible in the PK, brought in to be C and yet can't win faceoffs. He's no better than Chiasson or Petan
  17. Motte's showcase was basically 2 years ago in the bubble, unfortunately he followed it up with an injury filled season.
  18. I dont think his value drops as people may seem to believe. That 2 playoff runs is way overblown. Theres going to be more demand for JT in the summer when teams know their cap situation That being said, the games this weekend will play a very big hand on what Alvin and Co. do on Monday
  19. Yeah, I don't think management here or even TB expected Miller to be a 90pt guy. Right place, right time, and he's gonna get paid
  20. I wouldn't say nothing, Vanek played well when he was here. If anything it should've been Motte PLUS a mid-late pick. Hopefully management circles back to Motte during FA season if his price tag isn't too high
  21. Im not sure how Utunen or Karlsson have anything to do with the farm. They aren't there, so for now they are irrelavant to my point Kole Lind and Gadj should've never been at the situation they were in had the Utica developed their players properly. Like I stated before, the only real player we had graduate thats playing for the Canucks full time is Demko, and to a lesser extent Gaudette and McEwen you can't tell me theres nothing wrong with that. Granted the previous regime didn't do much better in that dept but they were winning. A rebuilding team should have more players coming from the minors, it can't be just 1st round picks making it on the team. Theres a problem if guys like Brad Hunt, De Giussepe, Chiasson are beating the young players I mentioned and probably even Juolevi. Players from the farm didn't need to be stars even, just every night players because if you don't get players from the farm, you're signing PTO calibre talents or overpaying for players that take up a lesser role on a team (ie: Dickenson, Poolman) But to come to think about it, lack of depth in Utica Abby might also be attributed that many of those 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks were traded away in deals (Gudbranson, Sutter, Pedan, Baertchi, too many too list since JB was a bonehead). But yeah I agree, Abby/Utica is a far better option than what they had in Chicago. The wolves were in the business of winning, not so much developing
  22. He's not going to be a lazy player thats for sure. The Sutter's coach the way they played, 2 way, 100% effort
  23. Thats what happens with you have a dolt of a GM signing garbage players to contracts. Poolman and Dickensons cap hit is a combined almost 6 million. Thats Boeser and Miller's raises right there
