      Oh boi. Tbh honest, I've no idea. Happened 4 years ago.

  2. Despite our team's utter suckage, I still find myself looking forward to Canucks games.

      Saturday was the first game I've missed in years.   I don't even call it utter suckage because they aren't floating around, not caring out there.  The young guys have heart and speed and I find it highly entertaining, even if we do lose.

      I'm just looking forward to playoff hockey no matter which teams are involved.

      Honestly, Saturday's game was probably one of our best all season.

      Lumme remains one of my favourites to this day.  He's awesome.

      @Alflives, Wellwood was chubby, not too much. Thomas Gradin and Dave Tomlinson were also there.

      I miss Dave Tomlinson doing colour on the radio games.  I thought he was very good.  Wife and I went to a lot of games back in the old Colosseum days.  Gradin was as smooth as they come.  Boudrias was my favourite before him.  Keon before him.  (You know we could have drafted Daryl Sitler!  

  4. I had a dream last night that the Canucks drafted 12th and the Avs 1st.

      that'd be fine

      we got brock at 23rd

      ep40 at 5th

      so still a good chance to get an elite type player

      it's all good

      sleep well

      enjoy your dreams

       

      and there is always hope the avs will draft like the coilers

      and ruin their 1st overall pick

      Wouldn't it be nice for the Canucks to FINALLY get our first

       

      1OA DRAFT PICK!

      Our first in fifty years.

      Look at Kyle Wellwood as an example.  Granted not a great example but still an example of a guy that you look at and say, no way that is a hockey player.  Ended up playing close to 500 NHL games.

      John Madden won a Selke in the early 2000's as a 5'11 190LB player. I think his kid will be ok.

    4. NewbieCanuckFan

      Canucks drafted a guy who also was 5'11 190 lbs and won a Selke (Dirk Graham).  Too bad he won it as a Black Hawk.:wacko:

  7. Do people really blame the Sedins on the Canucks not getting Dahlin? That's not how probability works.

      no winning games that mean nothing  hurt our chances we should have drafted in top 3  like thats the message u send to players ya lets win meaningless games to  win  nothing ever

      No respectable GM or coach is going to tell his team to lose on purpose for a coin toss.

    4. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      If you've been playing sports enough to make it to the highest professional level, there's a certain level of pride and drive to never want to lose, or you would never make it, let alone stay at that level. To me, throwing a so-called "meaningless" game near the end of the season is like a professional boxer throwing a fight for gambling reasons. It shows an absolute LACK of character and no respectable professional would do so.

  8. Jannik Hansen: "You heard Jim on After Hours, you're hearing retool on the fly, fixing it as they go... they started this 10y ago when they fired AV. I haven't seen the fruits of this labour. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. The next step is shaking the tree, and from the top."

      I love how Hansen doesn't ever pull his punches when giving opinions about his long-term team

       

      He's a refreshingly candid voice in this market and what he says carries weight because of his tenure as a Canuck 

    4. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Retool on the fly. Oh jeez. Remember how people criticized Benning for this? We are seeing Benning 2.0, folks.

       

      He should be taking heat for this. We've seen this play out before.

      Is there a difference between passing out from drinking, and sleeping?  Maybe just add lots of rum to your nightly milk.  Or even better add milk to your rum!  And Love the 10 women too.

      They stuck around until game 74 of the NHL season. Nobody was expecting the Canucks to make it to the playoffs this year. That's improvement. Markstrom, Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Boeser, Horvat, Gaudette, Virtanen, Roussel, Stecher, Leivo all contributing on different levels/making their debuts... lots of positives for the Canucks that hopefully is built upon next season.

       

      Next season, I'm excited to see Hughes play out a full year, Juolevi make his NHL debut (I think he'll make the Canucks out of training camp after his first summer of uninterrupted training since his draft year), Demko playing 20-30 NHL games, Pettersson taking the next steps to being a legit NHL superstar, seeing Tyler Madden debut in March 2020, and I'm looking forward to seeing who we draft at this year's draft.

       

      The big thing for this club this summer is if they can get rid of the contracts: Sutter, Eriksson, Spooner, and Schaller.I think they can get rid of 3/4 of those deals.

      Town of Salem is also a great - albeit much faster way to get a grasp of how things work 

       

      CDC's is just the slow, more expansive, and more in depth/occasionally silly version of Town of Salem. - That being said, it can be fun too xP

      ^this. think of her as an incorporeal, wandering spirit who appears to offer advice and guidance to lost souls in times of strife and suffering. when she's not needed here, she's in other places, finding the destitute who live in proverbial darkness away from others, knowing not even themselves; she gives them hope, comfort and reveals to them a path toward light and spiritual fullness. don't think of her absence as necessarily a bad thing--though we do miss her, we should remember that she is doing good work elsewhere, fulfilling the grand duties she undertook of her own accord, often thanklessly.

      we could all learn from her

      and take a long break of our own from this site

      and engage the real world in our down time

       

      but most of us, like me, find this site

      to simply be too easy a go to when we have a bit of free time

      to let us express whatever it seems we need

      to round out our days

      kinda fills a hole in a our boring lives maybe :P
