  1. maybe, what about a Koivu out of Minn? my buddy and i talking potential trades tonight... thought i'd share. fun to be a Canucks fan at the deadline ....YOUR DOING PRETTY GOOD BUT PLEASE DON'T SCREW IT ALL UP MR. BENNING.
  2. Why not, Canucks should be going for it this year. upcoming trade deadline, Canucks should go for Sami Vatanen with a wayne simmonds plus a Max Domi out of Mtl.
  3. these uni's looked right tonight! Bo Horvat leads his team to a 9 - 3 Win over the Bruins.
  4. the invention of the VGK changed how you build a team in the nhl.
  5. how to make the Stetcher trade as worthwhile as possible?
  6. if GMJB can make hockey trades right now, might be the time to do it
  7. in order of prospects next suiting up : 1. MacEwen 2. Rafferty 3. Tryamkin 4. Hoglander 5. Lind 6 Juolevi 7. Podkolzin
  8. I hear what your saying because we've experienced what your describing before with the Sedins. They had to wait for younger players to get drafted and mature to form the next supported core... these guys : kesler - 05/06 - Bieksa - 05/06 - burrows - 06/07 hansen - 08/09. The difference is the Canucks have already drafted these players. They'll be added one or two or three at a time each year on entry level contracts to the team moving forward from now.
  9. I hear what fans are saying that it's too early to give to get because the core isn't ready, but Canucks have long moved on from that. Anybody recall if the Canucks have ever really done a tear it all the way down kind of rebuild in their history, i can't recall, they've always seemed to retool on the fly. Also, I can't think of one team in the Western Conference that is currently the working parts of a tear it all the way down kind of rebuild, can you?
  10. yeah i was dreaming too that Madden would be the next P Kane type of player because I'm always dreaming about some glorious future roster and maybe Rob Blake is doing the same right now, dreaming. Truthfully, was having a tough time penciling Madden in because of size and didn't have him in front of Podz and Hogs. Looking at LA's roster, chances are Madden is a better fit for them and has a legit chance of being a player for them.
  11. GMJB not on the fence, with two great players on ELCs he's shown all year he's in on this year to build the best team he can in the here and now.
  12. Goal : get the 1st round pick back. I think build a trade around Stetcher
  13. This team reminds me of 2007 NHL Western Conference Semi-Finals Anaheim Ducks defeat Vancouver Canucks 4-1 following year, 2008, Canucks miss the playoffs! Have you seen the roster of the 2008 Canucks, so many of the '11 core are on it. They start the rise towards 2011 in '09, Hawks beat them in the Playoffs, wings clip the hawks, the Crosby Malkin Penguins end up beating the Wings for the Cup. Still, in '07, the Canucks beat Dallas in 7 games and made it to the conference semi-finals to take on the eventual Stanley Cup Winners. I remember Luongo... bathrm break and standing on his head. Canucks should probably ride the hot goaltender right now.
  14. Sign Markstrom Now. Core goaltender, build the team around him. This team reminds me of : 2007 NHL Western Conference Semi-Finals Anaheim Ducks defeat Vancouver Canucks 4-1
  15. I was thinking it... management should have signed Marky late season last year to an extension. If you can sign him now for 5 x 6 mil per season, you take that deal asap.
  16. For sure, i think John Shorthouse is the best broadcaster in hockey broadcasting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shorthouse
  17. Remember how they built this whole new young core around Hank and Danny. We recall how they were the best team in hockey at that time. Canucks should bring in the whole Utica Comets team in for a night for Sedin
  18. this is the team Benning, Green... Canucks players and management have built. They believe in themselves and the style of hockey they play. Damn straight they believe in themselves, playoffs this team, this year, we can do this, lets cheer for our team as always . It's been some tough years in Van, sure, and we know we have some real gems in our lineup right now, but we often feel angst over our recovery since you left our lineup, Daniel and Henrik Sedin. Sedin week meant to inspire the way forward, incl the way fwd for this year, this team, these fans, as always.
  19. Bo was flying out there tonight. Not a player or captain anyone should be criticizing.
  20. Should Canucks management be giving thought to signing and keeping Tanev and instead trading Boeser?
  21. Nah, don't bother, that'll be like rooting against the JT Miller. Are you thinking Boeser? BB6 played around 6 - 10 games on the 1st line where every pass to him seemed to bounce off his skate to the other team. Glad to see Boeser coming around the last 3 games.
  22. Was that today cause I didn't get to see the game, but I'm not seeing that at all, like not even a little bit. JT has made every player he's played with better. I remember liking the line of MIller Gaudette and Baertschi in preseason. Plus the goals he's scoring are skilled goals. He's tough and skilled. He's fast and smart, he's defensive, he wins draws, he does pp and pk. I didn't expect him to be this good. Canucks pro scouting nailed this acquisition and then some.
  23. Sharks gave it everything they had tonight and couldn't break the Canucks on a night where EP misses on two breakaways.
  24. i find myself really sad about this and maybe because so many are sad about this it feels all the more heavy right now. Our heroes achieve such great heights, but are mere mortals like us all.
  25. Interesting times for our team right now. Does management roll with this squad because the team has earned it or do they build for the future? Playoff experience is building for the future. That said, the easiest call for management may be to stand pat, the team is playing so well, next easiest call is to wait to see how the team is doing at the TDL. Is this the right call? I think Toronto and Winnipeg need to make moves now and won't wait it out till the TDL. Management should already know if Tanev is going to be too expensive to sign for next season and into the future. Depends on the cap going up, but Management may have already decided Tanev has to go next season because of the ufa signings they've already made. In my mind Tanev is more valuable then any of the following players to the Canucks team : Eriksson, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel, Ferland, Myers. Hey Alf... maybe screw the Leafs by grabbing one of there best fwds for a soon to be ufa?
