  1. So much to like about the way this team is coming together. It's a glorious time to be a fan of this team. Count your blessings and stay positive. The tide will turn.
  2. Jake looks real good in 77... Would be cool to see him switch it up from 18 McDavid just ripped Marky apart, we have to play the body on him all game or he'll clown us too. Hit hard boys!
  3. Pierre-Rudolph Herbst x2 Tobias Axelsson x2 Alex Mares x2 Axel Taskesen x2 Ocean Heard x5 Vasili Marcou x5 Release Ethan Scanlon Release Jared Pouliot Release Tobias Axelsson
  4. I genuinely thought the team was buzzing all night... a few inches here or there the canucks could have been up 5-1 ... hockey is a game of inches when its being played at such high level with both teams competing hard a bounce here or there changes everything... jets 2nd and 3rd goals were against the tide too I know we blew a lead and only got 1 point, but that was one of the most entertaining games i've seen all year. Boys battled hard and pulled out a gutsy point... every night since the 2nd leafs game they've given it %100 ... I think we'll rally and get into the playoffs as long as they keep up this effort The future has never been this bright for this franchise. Night after night we see a 20-25 year olds absolutely put this team on their backs and carry us to W's . Brocky and Petey and Quinn all had me on the edge of my seat last night and yea I thought it's incredible hockey When have we ever had this in the past 50 years? Listen the Sedins are gods (I pray to them), the WCE at their prime are arguably top 5 line all time... but they never did this as 21 22 23 years old... this group that Jim has put together now is on another level. Feel blessed. It's never good getting frustrated. I know what it's like - i've punched a wall over a Canucks / Caps regular season game before... old me would probably do it over the 2nd leafs game this year... it was bad. But instead i went out for a walk , was raining so just dressed appropriately. Felt way better than wasting time typing out negative thoughts about the team.
  5. How about that hustle by Brocky to force the delayed of game penalty to tie the game? Team is playing some incredible hockey. It's only a matter of time before we start stacking up the W's I like our chances. Get into the playoffs then win the cup.
  6. Who woulda thought the hockey gods could bless us again with two Swedish brothers... but here we are... months away from it potentially happening. Why not live with your brother in a city you frequently visit and love? This seams like a no brainer - quite frankly I'd be shocked if he signs anywhere else. Come home Emil!!!
  7. Senators call up Sebastian Cheveldayoff Please stop losing guys... Getting blasted 11-2 by @Master Minds Phlegmz doesn't feel so good! SO SAD!
  8. wait wut ........... Genuinely thought I'd be last... Coach Marc Crawford will NOT be making any line changes this year. We will be holding the lines. HODL THE LINES!!
  9. Ottawa Senators waive and AHL Jared Pouliot Ottawa Senators call up Mikhail Cochrane Andre Perron Jackson Mauro
  10. I was thinking exact same names... I think we'll be pleasantly surprised by Olli as the year progresses... Brocky has been on form most - but even he's had bad games. We just need more consistency and we'll be in the playoffs. That's all you need, squeeze into the playoffs... it's all about having a ticket to the dance!
  11. mfw 5th oa Eichel comp on list but 4th OA Seguin nut... maybe has smth to do with that weird thing seguin and benn got going on?
  12. Sweet Lou with a grin behind his mask... Love to see it. Glad to see him doing well again. Hope there's more to come
  13. First of all +1 Sedinery for you sir for being a die hard fan of a great team and having a swede in your avatar Second of all, I'm gonna let you have it a little "Lets call out the 22 year old making 900k cap" is pretty much what you're saying... it must seem a little bit silly no? End of the day I know you're probably just a huge Petey fan (given your avatar) and you're just frustrated that he hasn't produced point per game... but I think your assessment is really skewed. He's hit what 10 posts this year? Double what anyone else has? and he still has 13 points in 19 games... I hope you can really ease up on the kid and relax a little. He's only 22 years old and on a 900K contract...
  14. Ottawa Senators release the following players Justin McCutcheon Denis Nedorozov Wes elser Mira Alund Smedlund Danny Abdul salaam
  15. Jan-Philipp Neuville x 2 Camaryn Shmoorkoff x2 Sebastian Cheveldayoff x2 Marc-Antoine Chaput x2 All accept! Release Matti hautala
  16. How epic was it of Calder Myers to end the streak last game? Channeling his inner burrows at the most important moment LONG LIVE CALDER MYERS! This video doesn't relate now that we're once again cup contenders but I'm gonna put it anyways since we're 1-0 now with me posting it.
  17. Canucks fans for 50 years: We need franchise dman!!!!! 2018... Jim Benning drafts Quinn Hughes... nope not 1st overall. Not 2nd or 3rd either... 7th! The year is 2021... Quinn Hughes leads the Canucks in points ... was part of team that was 1 game away from the west final... was part of the team that ELIMINATED the reigning cup champs.... Hmmmm lets complain! This is the most glorious time to be a Canucks fan. If you're not entertained then you're taking it too seriously imo... if they stinking it up like first two games vs tarrana you have a right to stop watching and just go get some fresh air
  18. Call up Anthony Dobson PK subban comp if anyone wants for 3rd
  19. Marc Crawford has at least 1 cup ring in Van if he had any one of these guys as his goalie...Demmer, Holtby, Miller, Marky, Louolongo 

     

    Burky never really gave him a shot by not addressing goaltending IMO... he got as much out of our roster as he could

      Wasn't just the goalie, they needed depth on both forwards and defence. 

      That kind of happens when you trade away your picks. 

      I admire Burke for getting the Sedins. And will always be grateful for that.

      Dan Cloutier would've made Marchand eat meals with a straw if he was in net and saw what the rat was doing.  Granted, with Cloutier in net, we wouldn't have advanced to the Finals.:P

      @Ghostsof1915 in Burkie's defense the salary cap wasn't there for his canucks career and during that time we had cheap ownership. If we had deep pocket aquilinis Burky woulda plugged all those holes via UFA... we just had no budget.

       

      in 2002 Burky had half the player budget from his ownership than detroit... it's a miracle what that team did... put in Demmer / Miller or any of the other mentioned goalies and that team comes home for game 3 and locks it down and sweeps Detroit by game 4.

       

      Detroit only won cuz they spent 70 mill and we were at 30 mill (my numbers might be off a little but they spent about double)

       

       

  20. Last in the division... unacceptable. Could be a coward and turtle who makes no line changes and lets team finish last for a high lotto pick... but we dont raise cowards in the Nations Capital now do we?!?!! Sent in some real gud line changes... to the moon we go! Come on Olli G fix that plus minus!
  21. Hope Burky & Co want some TRUCULENCE... Virtanen + Sutter + Eriksson (%50 retained) for Malkin? Would never happen but I like the trade! I'd prefer Crosby but I doubt they'd ever move him... would be so fitting for him to finish his career with a Canadian team! He's familiar with Canada Hockey Place too Virtanen + Sutter + Eriksson (%50 retained) + 1st for Crosby? lol
  22. Brutal... All my respect is gone for Bell. Will stand true to my word and never support them.Bell Lets Talk... let's talk to all the families affected by these layoffs... 650 is a class below imo... only reason I ever tune in is cuz of Hirschy doing colour or OG Canucks guest appearing like Hansen , JovoCop etc SO SAD what's going on with the media coverage of this team... Does this mean the end of Don Taylor? Rogers took him off TV... now Bell taking him off Radio. Travesty.
