  1. People will still find a way to blame coaching and management.
  2. Im talking about the Canucks.. Where do we play those 2 on our line up and protect them. We don't have the top 6 toughness to support a Nylander/Ehlers. They get smothered on our team. If we had a heavy team like the Jets then yes Ehlers would have a ton of space to create especially if we had some high end talent to pair him with. As is stands we have the Sedins and captain D Zone start score off the rush. I doub't they succeed in van the way they are currently. That said I would still support them the way I am Virtanen.
  3. Dude your just pointing fingers instead of offering anything creative to this forum. Take a break and come back with some either good or amusing content because lately you have neither and your schtick is tiresome.
  4. Whats your agenda bud? Your $#!T posting hard. Show me where pre draft you wanted anyone other than Jake. BC born PF the likes of which this franchise and fanbase was crying for. Alf your really just running the worst kind of smear campaign and is sucks so hard. I get your disgruntled but try having some class. Its posters who offer no input other than criticism like you who are whats wrong with CDC and the Vancouver fanbase. Try supporting you team or at least posting something non biased and inflammatory. Jake was the BPA Ehlers and Joffrey(Nylander) were/are flimsy pushover lil B!Tc#e$ who would be getting crushed on our team against the pacific. Benning would have been Fired if he passed over Jake a kid everyone was screaming for. JB has replaced leadership in other ways Dors Sutter Gud. Virtanen was the right pick at the time even if hindsight doesn't agree.
  5. I think It's way to early to be projecting Virtanen as a bust. It is likely that he won't be driving the offence on either a 1st or 2nd line. I happen to think the team is projecting him as a future Jannik Hansen who hits like a truck and can play on any line 1st to 4th and infuse some intimidation and speed to give our skilled players more time and space out there. Having a player like that is very valuable especially in the playoffs. I'm not gonna bother with the we should have drafted so and so hindsight BS. If were doing what if's what if JB had passed over the local born muscle bound prototypical PF that this city craved for another teeny weeny tweeny. Now suppose in a diff system on a diff team Virtanen goes on to have success while Nylander/Ehlers is getting squashed on our weak under matched team playing The Ducks, Kings,Wpg, Sharks, night in night out. I'm not saying I'm a fan of the pick I am just saying I don't blame JB for making it. I would have done the exact same in his shoes in 2014. I will say however before the draft last year I really wanted JB to trade down for Sergachyov/McAvoy and Tage Thompson and I stand by that. However there is no way to know if there was a deal out there to make that possible but I think it could have been done even if we had to wiggle a bit. Carolina with their 2 picks 13/21 I'm sure would have had interest in Olli over Bean. And there is no way JB didn't have eyes on McAvoy playing at Boston U. Enough of the what if pity party Olli and Virtanen are our guys and Ill be cheering for them. Go Canucks Go.
  6. I personally think this kid might be the real deal and a huge steal for the Canucks in the future. What he has accomplished this season is no easy feat. He's gonna easily out pace Brock this year which ill spot Brock since he has been injured but Gaud will also crush Brocks tallies from last season too. I'm tempering expectations here in hoping that Adam will prove to be quite serviceable for the Canucks middle 6 in 2-3 seasons time. I am more than impressed.
  7. I think Tryamkin is gonna be asking big bucks on his next deal. Wouldn't surprise me one bit especially with how he played his cards early this season. I think Benning should be carving out 3.5m x 4 if he's expecting to have a chance at keeping him here. I can smell an offer sheet coming from a rival team.
  8. I doubt a miracle happens and we draft top 3 so I agree if he drops to us we gotta take him.
  9. My wants list for 2017 draft. 1: Hischier 2: Nolan 3: Vilardi 4: Liljegren 5: Mittlstadt 6-10: Rasmussen/Tippet 10-14: Petterson/Foote If we acquire another first through trade 15-20: Hague/Strome 20-30: Ratcliffe/Popugayev If JB can pull off getting 2 of the players on my list I will purchase a vintage Nux jersey and get Benning #4 put on the back.
  10. Welcome to Grand Forks..... Settle Down!....... Have a perogi.
  11. By this chart 2 7th round picks have better odds of making then NHL than a 3rd rounder and nearly as much as a second rounder. I happen to think drafting in the late rounds is Bennings strength. I would like to see what Benning is capable of given multiple late round pix I would bet he unearths some treasures. Go get em this deadline is the time to get a couple toss in freebies.
  12. If Virtanen starts playing well he should stay right where he is, don't want to disrupt that.
  13. I think its obvious Burr is a shell of his former self. That said he should finish the year with the club. If were buyers at the deadline and he isn't performing he would clear waivers and free up a roster spot and about a mill cap which would give us around a lil over 3 mill cap space at the deadline which as I understand it would be enough room to acquire approx 5m$ UFA. Come playoffs when the roster limit is raised Burr could be recalled just incase he's got another dragon to slay left in him.
  14. 6.5/10-Swiss Army Man: Beautifully shot, well made, and well acted. I genuinely cringed through most of this film. The subject matter of a romance between a dead body and a desperate man made me uncomfortable throughout this film. If your into that sort of thing along with constant farting then this is the film for you. There were some truly great moments in the movie but not enough to make me ever want to watch it again. 2/10 Sausage Party: This takes the mantle as the worst movie I have seen this year. The Vulgar tone of this move was so constant throughout that nothing was shocking or funny. i couldn't tell you where this film climaxes it was so monotone it was just boring. There was however one good sequence where the food all falls out of the cart the flour explodes and it turns into a food war zone scene. Was very well done and the only reason I'm giving this movie a 2. Otherwize I'd say Seth just dragged this film down into a pit where it stayed for its entirety.
  15. I don't doubt his ability I believe he will be a impact player. However I do doubt his ability to stay healthy he seems to get injured at a Saloesque rate. Hopefully that's over now and he can make it. I expect him to stay with the club but split time between the ice and the press box which I think is probably for the best has he even completed a full season as a pro?
  16. The good dinosaur 8/10 Great for the kiddies. A corn fed family of dinosaurs tend their farm when a storm comes and kills a family member while the son watches. Then teradactyle like creatures tear to shreds a raccoon like creature. Sam elliot appears as a buffalo hearding tyranasaurus which is amazing. And there is a dog who appears in the form of a small orphan boy . Overall its basically a mashup of homeward bound and the fox and the hound with dinosaurs. Will probably watch again and again my daughter likes dinosaurs.
  17. I hope he gets to wear his golden helmet.
  18. Thanks Vintage would plus if I could. I can relax a bit now.
  19. This seems like such a silly question but I cant seem to find an answer on the interwebs. here goes.......Will Playoff overtime be played 3 on 3?
