  1. Ya makes sense. One of the regular scouts saw him and told his boss Judd Brackett and they agreed and fought hard to take him. Linden said similar things about Brackett..
  2. During Gillis era Brackett was just a scout, one of about 20. He was not head of amateur scouting during Gillis era. He only reported on his gegraphical area of scouting and didn't have much say in who the team would draft or type of player. Our drafting turned around with Judd Brackett's promotion. Trevor Linden talked about how hard Judd fought to draft EP. He went all in and stuck to it.. He got his wish and Canucks got a future superstar.
  3. Actually JB picked O.J. because he thought OJ was going to be a great 2 way Dman. He was super high on OJ. JB publicly brought up Lidstrom as comparison to OJ.. IF Tkachuk boys are happy in CGY and OTT they would have been more than happy in Vancouver. I watched their dad get drafted and watched him his entire career. JB made a mistake. Simple as that. Every GM does it. He thought he already had his power forward in Virtanen so he wanted a top tier, top pair Dman. No evidence to suggest Tkachuck didn't want to play in Van. Nothing remotely close.. lots of evidence JB was high on OJ.
  4. Mcdavid out with illness for tonight's game vs VGK for division lead. Too bad. Would have been a great game had he been in lineup.
  5. NYI win 3 - 2 NYI score first Virtanen scores first goal
  6. No way we out perform NSH & MIN to get a wildcard spot. Those two teams are playing too good. And we are badly struggling.. They will have the two wild card spots.. Our only hope is CGY stumbled ... We turn our game around ...... We take the 3rd spot in division...
  7. You guys remember in NJD when Lou Lamoriello fired his coach with like 8 games left in regular season... He fired Ribbie Ftorek and hired Larry Robinson. Team went on to win the Cup...
  8. Minny just scored to take lead 4-3 with 5 mins to go in 3rd. Canucks don't look like they're gonna get 2 goals in this to tie let alone 3 straight to win.... looks like a 4 Pts swing.. Playoffs look like a distant dream now. Maybe this is the year we get lotto luck and win the draft lottery...
  9. Canucks starting to looks for perfect play... too many passes.. Merzlikins starting to creep into their head...
  10. Their goalie is sharp and on... doesn't look like we're going to get 1 past him let alone 2 or 3...
  11. MIN scores to tie it in 3rd vs ANA Canucks get scored against fall behind... All within a minute of each other...
  12. I dont care how boring the rest of regular season and playoffs are... As long as Canucks make playoffs and win couple playoff rounds I'd love it.. i can handle boring for a couple of months.
  13. Wow @Alflives put in work, gave everyone that predicted Canucks win a like. cheers Alf
  14. Pretty sure it won't They've been talking all week about these 3 ladies doing the Flames game.
