  1. Fury Road = best movie ever made (not named Pacific Rim)
  2. Looking at the list right now it seems obvious that Erikson should be left unprotected, It seems he will have an average season, not one even close to worth the contract though, If they leave him unprotected they can keep another forward, if he's taken they are rid of the contract, if he isn't then fine, moving right along That was a golden parachute deal from J.B to L.E and everyone knows it so it won't make Vancouver look bad to potential free agents, Erickson was blessed to get the contract and I doubt he would be peeved much by having to take his millions of dollars to Vegas for a 6-year vacation. He's the solution to keeping Gaunce Whether Gaunce is worth keeping is another topic altogether, the thing that concerns me about him is that games go by, then I'll read a boxscore, see his name and say" "Was he in the line-up?" Gaunce is one of the most invisible players I have ever tried to watch
  3. Uhh......didn't Gudbransson get dropped? I mean he waws right back up, but if you had to call a winner, it looked like Martin, sorry but that's the truth. Doesn't matter though, those two could fight 10 times and it would probably be 5-5 and had any of those bombs really connected it would have been lights out for Martin or anyone else, That is legitimate deterrent
  4. What does Ed have 3 points? How does that evn happen
  5. If Valk can't skate then fine. But I seem to remember that he could hang in training camp so...... WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU JB?! SKILL! SKILL! SKILL! IT"S RIGHT UNDER YOUR GODDAMN NOSE! SHOULD THE LEAFS SEND NYLANDER TO THE ECHL?!?! SIGN THIS KID AND GET HIM UP HERE!!! WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!!!! HE CAN FRIGGING SCORE YOU DUNCE!
  6. Yeah, I didn't know everyone here but me is supposed to have played with "Elite skating power forwards" now I feel left out Would someone mind loaning me their " "Elite skating power forward" for an afternoon? just so I can say I did?
  7. IF true, those are horrible optics. If I got dropped into a Canucks practice today I would be horrible, screwing up drills and whatever else they do right and left, the one thing I would probably do right is the easyest thing to not screw up, be first on and last off. If a fan knows to do that then an NHL player in the doghouse has no excuse not to, he knows people are watching
  8. Nail on the head my friend at #10 overall great pick at #5 ??? Wasted pick You do not shoot for a "solid" player in the top 5 but hey, at least we've solved our "lack of 3rd assists" and "Hard but not overly physical" issues
  9. THAT is what you go for in the draft, as much high quality talent as possible, and that is what we did not do
  10. I believe he will make his 50pts Doesn't concern me in the least because it doesn't make one bit of difference, Aqualinni must SELL
  11. Better than we are looking with this albatross cap hit 1. Dallas: Hooray! Star Center! 2. Boston: Meh 3. 'Couve: Crapped the bed-too lazy to get up and clean
  12. Think man!!! just because he's exposed in the draft does that mean vegas will have to take him?? NO! They don't have to take him any more than other teams have to trade for him, for your info he WILL be exposed in the draft and he will be passed on, because no team in this league wants the headache he brings
  13. Wait a sec Is there any evidence Jake has done anything other than ask to be treated like the high pick he is? I haven't heard of him being lazy in practice or having a bad attitude Personally, I don't belive in the "Treat everyone the same" philosophy. The company has considerable assets invested in Jake and I believe he should be given every chance to pay them back
  14. I agree, I don't put much stock in his current drought, he'll end up getting his 25 G and 50 PTS problem is it won't make one bit of difference well, it may make one difference, we may draft lower
  15. I still say there is a deal to be made if we take Kane off of their hands, give them something decent like Tannev and hopefully anything but a first rounder. Make no mistake Kane is a negative asset, the Sabers would be thrilled to be rid of him and will give consideration to any team that will help them be rid of him. As great as it is for them to have Reinhart, he is not their #1 essential building block, for the right price we could pluck him, I'm sure of it., and the Kane thing makes them vulnerable. As far as Kane goes for us, buy him out at the earlyest possible date and know that during our early stages of rebuild we won't need to spend to the cap ceiling anyway. Thus the lowered cap[ from the buy out won't kill us Perhaps we wouldn't need to buy him out, it's only a matter of time before he does something stupid again, and there have got to be some conduct provisions in NHL contracts to protect the teams.
  16. I wouldn't wait another minute he's having his career destroyed right in front of his eyes Demand a trade, demand Utica........No actually, I don't see how he could trust this team ever again, they have shown willful disregard for his and their OWN best interests BTW It's Aqua-man who set this in motion and he's the one to blame, WD has at least been honest, "Its not the try hard league, its the get it done league" it is not WD's job to develop Jake, if WD doesn't win he gets fired, its management's job to manage the assets, Only in our case those decisions are made by the owner
  17. Oh, well then... GAME ON (And apologies to the poster I accused of lying)
  18. AUGUST AUGUST is OFF SEASON C'mon guys seriously, just think about this for a second: Your an NHL team, you pay some guy millions, he comes up and asks you if he can play beer league......Ok? Say your an insurance company, you ensure sports contracts for millions, the team wants you to cover the salary of a player who is hurt beyond a large deductable' they tell you that in addition to league game he will also be playing beer league, do you cover him for the same price? HELL NO! If at all you charge WAY MORE, now your the team again, ARE YOU GOING TO PAY INSURANCE PREMIUMS OUT THE ASS SO A PLAYER CAN PLAY BEER LEAGUE? There was a case several years ago, a Red Wings D-man had injured himself in a sleigh accident, the insurance company stated that it was not on the approved list of physical activity, there were lawsuits all around' Seriously guys WTF
  19. That is dated July 23rd Off season, You don't seriously think they are allowed to play beer league do you?
  20. Put the knives away everyone! There is a common misconception about physical fitness I will now clear up: People have vastly different capacities in reguards to cardiovascular conditioning. ZThat is to say you could take two guys who are the same height and weight, train them identically for 3 months, one guy would have improved %50 at the end and the other guy may only have improved %8. It doesn't mean the other uy is lazy or the training is bad. You could also had guy A train %50 less than guy B and he STILL would have improved way more that guy B, I'm sure Jake busted ass this summer, but a lot of this stuff is in the genes, Jake may have reached his peak conditioning wise already, and is trying to strech beyond what his genetics will allow, It can be done, but it takes a lot more time. Some people are born with it, the Sedins, Linden too had incredible conditioning and i'm sure they worked hard, but don't crap on one guy who MUST have done all he could this summer. And don't start giving Virtanen the "Vancouver" treatment, that ugly crap I had to listen to about Vey and whoever the guy was before that. call him out for what he deserves, but the whipping boy stuff is just poison. don't think it doesn't get back to the players when its bad enough because it DOES
  21. Either you or your friend are %100 full of S&^t It would be a MAJOR violation of Jake's contract to step on the ice for ANYTHING non-Canucks related Unless it's part of team conditioning these guys aren't allowed to even play Tennis during the season, all their physical activity is totally under team control, think about it, they pay someone millions and he goes and gets hurt in beer league? Could cost ownership millions, and the insurance they have to take out on these guys? Do you think for one second an insurance company would pay out for a pro athlete who was injured screwing around in a rec league game? Do you think Virtanen would put himself in a position like that? He steps on the ice with amateurs and every nobody (Like your "Friend") would be looking to take a shot so they could brag to their other loser buddies about it. No, doesn't happen, and Jake isn't that stupid Your lying
  22. He needs to be on an established contending team I've said since day one this signing is terrible, and I still believe he'll get to 55pts this year
  23. I sometimes think these kids do need to stand up for themselves in order to be noticed. Most people had heard of Druoin last year but knew little more then the name. Stevey Y was not treating him like he was important and although it can seem douchey and bratty , I think what he did last year was the best move, he stood up and said "F$#k you Stevie Y I am important" all of a sudden all eyes were on him and he became an NHL celebrity. He then went on to prove he was no myth in the playoffs and now he's a star. It's no secret Stevie Y doesn't like him, so if he hadn't done that he may very well have been another "Gee whiz I hope I make the team" pre-season prospect who was starting to get "Bust" whispers in the media. Some guys need to be put into the frying pan before you know what they are made of, they play to their competition, and are totally different players in the NHL then they are in the minors rI think the team should make room for Gaunce one way or another, and if they don't he needs to make them do something , because they are treating him like a minor leaguerI
  24. It might be some sort of "play me or trade me" type of thing, I don't think he has a ton of leverage besides the big body and draft pedigree, but it is a fact that he has been lost in the shuffle around here. Watching Virtanen have the red carpet rolled out for him while Gaunce sat in Utica had to hurt. I'm sure he was thinking "I can play at least as well as Jake did last year, why the hell is he getting a shot and not me" I wouldn't fault him for that either.
