  1. Unreal... And to think Benning took him 40th overall. It's definitely early but he's my candidate for best player from that draft. He's got lots to grow into as well. Benning is a God
  2. I think Jim just won another draft... Not with the 5th or 7th pick this time... With the 40th! Hogz is only going to get better. Hogz = Datsyuk imo. I don't like the Datsyuk / Petey comparisons, simply because Petey is much taller and Datsyuk never got remotely close to peteys level at such a young age. Pavel took until 25 or 26 to become decent
  3. THIS IS CANUCKS HOCKEY We're going to the moon. Saddle up! We really pummeled Tarrana past few nights... Without our best player to boot... Love this team. Truly epic performance. Even when down 2-1 I was telling myself they've played stellar and just a matter of time. The star power just took over. Leafs are no match for us in a 4 game series. 40 mill on 4 meh players... Hah!
  4. Iono man... I've seen countless epic 2 minute shifts... That wasn't one of them... They didn't even score or have big chances. There was no danger, maybe one moment at best. Stop believing the nonsense Hughson and Simpson are telling spewing. Maybe mute the TV and go radio for some hirschy wisdom
  5. Didn't look all that dangerous... Other than Hughson pumping leaf tires, that shift was meh. Myers wasn't even sweating. He was just holding position for 60 seconds of the shift. Don't let Hughson brain wash u bro
  6. As for me, I like the team. Such an exciting time to be a fan... Jake is turning a corner and our team is filled with young stars who are developing and gelling as every day goes by. Playoffs or bust!
  7. Canucks pummel and man handle a stacked team like the jets... Only 80 page gdt... Seems to me the trolls only come out to play when the team doesn't win
  8. Demmer is a beauty... He'll be here long term. Didn't realize he hadn't got any regular season shutouts As for great save Luongo or other lines Hughson and shorty used to say... Haven't heard Shorthouse in 2020 or 2021 make a great comment after a Demko save... He's been negative as heck as he's gotten older. He shows 0 excitement when our goalies make a save, players score, hits, etc... But he shows more excitement when the away team scores on us... Brutal. Only home town commentator that is like this... Miss the old young shorthouse who had excitement in his voice and didn't have OCD over making the rest of the country like him because he's so "impartial" and cheers for the other teams lol Hes also very disrespectful to John Garret imo... Guy didn't play a lick in the nhl and ridicules garrett all the time when he's calling out brutal dives or bad penalties against us. Anyways I digress... Long live Demmer!
  9. I see what you're saying and your aren't wrong... right off the bat as someone who considers himself one of Todd's biggest fans, it was obvious Todd was guilty. Who refuses breathalyzer test? Someone that is plastered and mentally unwell. All you had to do was look a the mug shot. He's clearly under the influence and I don't condone what he did at all. But he's clearly not well. Drunk driving is disgusting and should never be tolerated. I've always said the laws aren't strict enough when it comes to this... What Todd's done is wrong af... But you can't tell me his past doesn't cause this. I still empathize with him... Imagine fans of 29 teams unfairly booing u and sewering your rep... Imagine being the best power forward this city has ever seen... Being on the verge of winning the cup in 2004... Then having everything turn on a dime because of a 4th line grinders gutless move to go head hunt THE LEAGUES REIGNING MVP This just boils my blood. Bert had his career altered because a 4th line plug went after the NHLs reigning MVP... Yup... Arguably one of the greatest power forwards in the history of sports had his career ruined by a 4th line goon who was trying to cause permanent brain damage to Markus Naslund, who is your best friend at the time... Tough not to turn to substance abuse when you have mental trauma caused by millions of fans and a old boys club that suspends you for having 10 guys jump on your back? I wish Todd well. I know he'll come out clean and stronger from this. Once he has his stuff together, I'd still %100 love him to join our organization as player development or something. LONG LIVE the Italian stallion!
  10. Standings not looking too good... As for me, I like the team. I think we make playoffs and compete for the cup. We're gonna need to go streaking. Win 6 in a row.
  11. Poor Todd, he's had some real mental demons to deal with after he was painted as a villain for a decade It's really not right. I know Bert will get it together. Tough not to empathize with him... He was wronged on so many levels He was just following orders and protecting his best friend... Nothing wrong with that. It's a shame the dumb players piled up on top and applied pressure to Steve's neck.
  12. Great run gents... you have no idea how tempting it is to join a season starting 1998... chance of acquiring OG WCE players in their primes... oh man all the good names... I'm literally drooling... That being said I can't commit to 7.0 Hope you guys are still up and running when the regular season ends... I think I'll have more time then but for now I'm a little (more than a little lol) overwhelmed in life and can't give it the right amount of attention Big thanks to @Nail @Patrick Kane for all the work you put in 5.0 and 6.0 to make it fun for everyone. Real good times <3
  13. Tempting....... But he no play good these days + last playoffs
  14. Nanaimo Predators looking to sell! No problem retaining $ in deals. Not OTB: Mika, Canucks players, and generally would favour towards moving older guys. Like Parise or brown. Can retain cash moneyyyy Picks would be good so I can package and overpay for a current Canuck I don't have
  15. Ottawa places claim for Lukas Zajac Ottawa calls up Andre Giese Ottawa calls up Sebastian Cheveldayoff (think he's called up in game but not on the website)
  16. Release Thatcher demko Lennart Frisk
  17. Well said. Gotta say I'm devastated his first job isn't in Vancouver but I know he wanted to be closer to his family so I'm all for it. Can't wait to see him behind the bench... hopefully we can focus on him instead of Wayne Gretzky Tyler Toffoli His smile brings joy to me... although I'll probably be quick to yell against him at the TV at first sight of him chirping our boys Round of Burr's for everyone! Long live the Dragon Slayer! Forever a Canuck <3 edit: here's a good Burr off ice moment... is it just me or is Luongo the only "Core" player that didn't really partake in stuff like this... kinda selfish guy, nothing wrong with that tho but yea... kinda speaks on his character. He's funny on Twitter though and as it stands the best goalie to play here but still... meh guy overall.
  18. Love the poll! Good stuff. IMO All 5 of those guys are gonna be cornerstone players - might as well start etching their names into the ring of honour... Brocky probably has #6 up in the rafters come 2039-2040... Demmer and Bo both can do it too if they retire Canucks or win at least a few cups
  19. Shoulda labeled my chart - it wasn't vancouver record. It was Pittsburghs.. Final 2 years of my chart they had Crosby too. 2004 Canucks still Champs in my books ftr
  20. This is your outlook... you're only pointing out negatives of an obvious rebuild.... this is brutal. This is exactly why I try to stay away from this section - far too much negative nonsense Are you actually telling me Canucks made no playoffs in 4 years during a rebuild?! I'd love to see you as a Penguins fan in 2005... you probably would have burnt down the city. Pittsburgh stats below... The Canucks were a winning franchise for a good decade... we were the most winning team in all of hockey for a 3 or 4 season span... You realize you need to rebuild after you are the most winning team in hockey spanning 3 or 4 seasons right This is standard rebuild. Calm down. The future has NEVER been this bright. We've NEVER had such a plethora of young stars. This is a random year... the short season isn't benefiting us... our team is stacked with young superstars it's only a matter of time before we are a powerhouse for another decade.
  21. Losing culture... Yea no clue what that means. This team is full of winners and confident youngsters... Julien got his team 1 period away from the west final too last year? Right? Get a grip. The sky isn't falling... Life is beautiful. Be patient and trust the process. management can take care of any issue that comes up.
