  1. Senators place claim on Morsy If claim successful, send down Brenden Caranci to AHL
  2. The Nashville Predators waive Jason Spezza - send to minors please... doesn't make sense you'd think home town boy going home at a discount would play well... too old I guess. The Nashville Predators will continue to hang on to Sbisa & Schneider as we're confident they'll win roster spots soon!
  3. Ottawa calls up Brenden Caranci... Trade stuff: Ottawa also will swap any winger / perhaps dman on roster or organization for a C plz thx (hockey deal) Was gonna offer for Bo and Zib when I got home yesterday and whoever the brandon sutter comp was that was young, but was running late and missed it... probably for the best tho, don't want Elite/Franchise talent like Bo and Zib going to waste on a rebuilding team like mine
  4. What a post... wow... teared up a little... vintage oldnews. Bravo You really took it to the HNL when you backed it up with all the cold hard stats... tbh I'm not that knowledgeable on advanced stats, too much numbers for me, but I heard way too many complaints about motter and Myers last night... *should say hole People like to complain about Myers because they just focus on the biggest object they see... As for Motter, he didn't get an assist on Brock's goal from Hughes, but he cleared the way for Quinn to make the pass. No Motte, no goal there IMO. It's great we got such defensively sound depth players that we can rely on for defensive draws... no point wasting elite talent like Hughes in the defensive side when you're so stacked defensively.
  5. Bro I read these and crack up every time... Epic If only I had gif editing capabilities of TZ and could put the captains face on here lol! Also I keep going page 136 and see no PGT... What's going on? Covid has been rough... Do we have to let it take away our PGTs too? Would rather surrender my lunch money at this point, not that covid hasn't taken enough money from me indirectly lol Used to really enjoy going into the PGT seeing all the highlights an instant comments on first pages... I know it's a first world problem but why go page 136 for random comments and limited content when u could go to page 1 for full detailed highlights and reaction... Reaction from the world's most iconic fan base and have it conveniently separated form the GDT? Also I wouldn't call that a GDT at all. That was more like SDT... Slaughter day thread cuz that's all the coilers got! Slaughtered! Or am I missing something, would PGT promote less social distancing? If anything the PGT should socially distance from the GDT given current pandemic and condensed schedule haha
  6. Can we also mention how we did this without our leading scorer from last year? Mr heart and soul JT thriller? This Era is going to belong to the big bad Canucks. Our fans will finally get the dynasty they deserve
  7. @Twilight Sparkle I know usually the Bo comes home... But The Brock was real good tonight... Perhaps you can do the honors... And write up a homecoming That was absolutely epic. We are so blessed. Thank you sir Benning.
  8. Steal. Steal. Steal. Jim Benning ladies and gentlemen
  9. Gotta say though, it's pretty funny how it says "wat" instead of confused... what?! I know it's not intended but it reminds me of old school stone cold and since we're in white noise, here's some gifs what?!
  10. LOL yea I was kinda going for that on that part of my post, I've been seeing his tweets way too much this past few months... it's contagious... he absolutely cracks me up. Not that I support him, he's absolutely the worst but he cracks me up. The whole situation is just funny... the guy was elected to be president of the states... and he just keeps trolling non stop... not to mention all the illegal things he's doing to profit in the background (which to be fair all presidents do in the US)
  11. Ottawa calls up Vasili Marcou Ocean Heard ( Jan-Philipp Neuville ( Lennart Frisk
  12. Ottawa Sends down Jackson Mauro Vasili Marco Polo Brenden Caranci (unless they are NHL ready as per the new rule and can't be sent down - in that case great news that they are good at hockey thx)
  13. Wow major game changer... Luca Sbisa becomes the first CDCP predator to actually play for the team after being claimed today in RL. (well there's haula too but let's just ignore that for better headline purposes) Breaking News - Home Coming for Sbeezus! Preds ownership has finally agreed to keep the team put after a desperate plea to relocate to Nanaimo finally comes to an end. The city of Nashville will now forever be in our hearts and we will remain loyal. No more relocating to Nanaimo! Was trying to find my old Sbisa with a crown picture to post but couldn't find it... Here's a bunch of other random ones tho that CDC stored lol... click spoiler for lolz
  14. This Loui stuff is funny and all but IMO does nothing good for our image of our fan-base People already think we riot and already have the worst rep of any fan base on social media because of 10 year olds with cell phones who make our team look bad... Yes confused react should be back IMO. It's cute and funny looking... brings people joy. Gone to this Loui pic. SO SAD! ... we have so many legends we could celebrate... we've got Daniel & Henrik Sedin, Dragon Slayer Alexandre Burrows... We've got a Petey and Quinn react... and now this? You gotta be kidding me
  15. 130+ players on waivers and Luca is one of the 4 that gets claimed. So happy. Not many better "men" out there... Great guy, great player. Wish him the best.
  16. So regarding this new confused react, here's my 2 cents... pretty weak move to take a bad pic of someone and have it as a permanent reaction to be re-posted a million times if you ask me... This guy played for our team... it's not like we're going after someone who just head hunted one of our boys... like a Matheson or Keith or Moore or whatever... (not that I'd condone that either - just pointing out how brutal this is) CDC is the biggest team specific message board in hockey and we're gonna portray our fan base like this? Like a buncha blood thirsty fans that wants to pile up on a guy and re-post a bad pic of him and think of him 24/7 when we visit our forums? So many worthy players of quality reactions and this is what we get... a guy that is on waivers and is of 0 relevance to our starting lineup Give me a break. Not only does it make our fan base look bad; it spreads worthless negative energy, and pretty sure this is a form of online bullying. I don't think any human deserves this if you ask me - absolutely brutal. At least the confused react looked kinda cute and funny, this is just flat out brutal. If ideas needed for a confused react that isn't made to spread hatred and negativity maybe do a gif of Jarkko tripping Dion , that's confusing and not harmful to anyone /rant...
  17. Ottawa Releases JT Miller. We thank him and we feel it's best to let him fly free and go to a contender. He deserves a cup and we will be rebuilding next year. Ottawa Sends down (only if no waivers required) Jackson Mauro Brenden Caranci Lennart Frisk Vasili Marcou - will be back shortly... we spoke to Vasili about the idea of starting camp in Binghampton and he was very excited - it's not easy being a 20 year old american playing in ottawa, he said he prefers 1 more year of camp closer to home while he still can. We are fully committed to Vasili long term!
  18. I'd toss u a confused react but I think you deserve the +1 for making me laugh so I gave you laughs I'm genuinely hoping you don't take this the wrong way... I have nothing but good intentions and hope that you may see things differently as a result... I hope you can one day see life and this team as glass half full. I hope I can help all our fans who suffer from this as we are ALL CANUCKS <3 This is a common theme in Canucks nation... I experienced this stage myself for about 3 years of my 20 years of fandom... we got wronged so much in the past that it's easy to just become negative and just think every thing is against us (whether its life or canucks related). During those 3 years, I was negative, would absolutely flip over losing even regular season games... and was just causing havoc for myself mentally... it's not healthy my friend. As I look back through the years, I realized what caused my "Canucks Related Depression"... from Bertuzzi (the man i looked up to after he changed my life with one afternoon... not growing up with a father around made me just love him even more) being suspended on the verge of the franchise winning our first cup... to the rules of the league changing in a 2011 SCF... from the passing of future Norris Dman Luc Bourdon (Rest in paradise Luc)... to the Jordan Schroeders setting WJC records but busting for us... It really is easy to turn on your team after going through what our fan base has gone through. Mental illness is a result of trauma and it's really easy to let bad things that happened in the past skew our vision of the future... It's easy to pretend that us nerds sitting behind the computer have an actual clue about what Jim needs to be doing. For years I'd huff and puff my chest like a big shot ridiculing Benning... because I'm some nerd with 10K posts on CDC... "ELIAS IS TOO SMALL! Omg QUinn hughes small and american!?" After years of finding myself mentally it hit me... why was this happening? Was it because I'm a hockey god on the interwebz and know what benning should be doing? Or was my brain triggered to think negative thoughts IMMEDIATELY when it comes to our team? I don't blame you - it hasn't been easy being a Canucks fan over the years and it's easy to slip your mind into a state of depression when it comes to surrounding the team. The reality is Jim has done an impeccable job... not a single player over 6AAV... he's drafted 10x better than any GM in our franchise history plain and simple. He's attracted great free agents, and I still to this day %100 support his signing of Loui. The team needed to give the Sedins one last run - so get over it you're not the one paying him PS Tyler Myers was #1 dman available that free agency, TSN and every chanell had him as #1 D... he turned down 7x6 and took 5x6 So yea if you're still upset over Beagle and Roussel making 500k extra than what they deserve, its likely not healthy and there may be underlying issues
  19. I'm with ya man... All this doom and gloom crowd is the same people that always think the sky is falling We got 2 franchise players and half the time all people do is just complain that we're not gonna have cap to sign em as if Jim Benning and our management are a couple of 4 year olds.
  20. Not surprised tbh... their team is lead by 2 immature "boys" who probably think Covid is a hoax as well Whatever "thing" Benn and Seguin got going on... I respect it. I'm not gonna be classless and point out that they like to dress up as cowboys and play brokeback mountain... yet they have no problem running their mouths calling the sedins broke back mountain... to each their own right ? I'm also not gonna mention that both Henrik & Daniel have children with their wives.. yet both Seg and Jamie haven't settled down and no kids.... IMO They are good match for eachother. I send them my regards
  21. Senators call up Jackson Mauro and Vasili Marcou
  22. Sounds like some body has a crush on Eddie The Eagle - either that or he kicked your dog Pointing him out negatively twice in one post - over a few scrimmage highlights? Close to 900 games, 400+ points... countless hours of service to his community... Takes a team friendly deal last summer... Puts his body on the line unlike any other and has been anywhere from 1st to 10th in Blocks/Hits per game almost every year in the past 5+ years... and bashed over some scrimmage clips? Mac Daddy is awesome and I think we'll see him play this season... he's out there skating for his life trying to win a spot and he beat Edler to a puck. The sky is not falling on Edler's, I'm sure he'll give %100 effort when the games start up. I hope you find it in you to just support him because he's a true Canuck, loves this city, is incredibly kind at heart and is very good at hockey. Nothing I like to see less than Edler/Myers negativity tbh... especially Edler. Sorry hope you didn't think I'm coming at you
  23. Loved it! Real good stuff.... thanks for sharing There's some guys I'd move around a little but overall it's really well done. Hoff too high in both his nominations if you ask me. He really padded his stats thanks to Hank & Danny IMO No disrespect to Jovocop who I loved growing up... but I'd have Quinn #1 by a fair margin - Twenty year old kid, undersized D-man comes into the NHL and drives the play every time he's on the ice. Ends up with 53 points in only 68 games and 16 more points in only 17 playoff games... 69 points in 85GP as a 20 year old... Jovo had a strong playoff too... 7 goals 1 assist in 14GP but I just don't remember watching those playoffs and thinking wow Jovo is our saviour... Was hoping to see a Sami Salo mention but he really never did rack up big time points. He was just a steady humble dman with an absolute bomb of a shot.
  24. You played for the Guelph Storm for 2 years? Not quite sure whats going on here... but I'd like to solve the puzzle. Who is Tag Bertuzzi? I've never said this in my life, but I can't wait for OHL season to start... really excited to see Tag pop off and make people look silly for not drafting him
  25. Reserved and still seeking relocation to a safe country. Nanaimo would be swell
