  1. Really souring on dhaliwal. I liked him when he was twitter only. Today he's using McCann's 16 goal season and Guddy's +5 in 6 games to show that you should never give up on a first round pick. In that case, let's get Nicklas Jensen, Hunter Shinkaruk, and Jordan Schroeder back and def resign Pouliot too.

      McCann is a weird story. I'm not sure why the Canucks gave up on McCann in the first place.

      False narrative.  Just because you trade someone doesn't mean you're "giving up on him."  Trades involve actually moving value for value, not junk for value.

      He's right, those were terrible moves.  McCann would be 4th on this team with 16 goals

      Captain UberHindsight with presentist bias.  Canucks should have kept Kassian, too?  How stupid to "give up on" Grabner...

      McCann is only 22...so we don’t know what his upside is as he still has potential to get even better.  For a team like the Pens, a cost controlled asset (at least until after next season...his cap hit is less than Granlunds), he’s invaluable to them  (a guy right NOW, they can insert as a bottom six C or a top six winger.

      Just glance at the rear view..don't fixate on the ****ing thing. Otherwise we crash on life's hwy.

       

      It's a yr of development & 1 more sexy high pick. No point muddling that up. Gud & Pou assisted with that goal!

       

      & McCann would likely have totally different numbers, if he'd stayed here. #Riggeddeckleague would've allowed opponents to run him over with regularity.

       

      Apples & oranges..keep a stiff upper lip, & play the hand we're dealt!

      Was disappointed to find out that it won't be for the 3DS. :( Can't keep up with all these devices. Guess I'll sit this one out for now.

  3. Has a team ever had no picks at a draft? Columbus has just 2 2019 picks left.

    1. SabreFan1

      SabreFan1

      They shouldn't even bother showing up to Rogers this year unless they plan on doing a trade or two to get some picks back.

      From the 2007 draft, none of the Canuck picks ever played a single NHL game.  So it's like they had no picks at all.

  4. How is Colorado only barely in a playoff spot when they have such a beastly top line?

     

    Where are they really deficient?

      They sort of remind me of the WCE Canucks, just with better goaltending.

      How is Edmonton not in the playoffs when they have the best (maybe) player in the world?

       

      Takes more then a few guys to make a team that can win.

  5. Congratulations to Utunen and Virtanen on the Gold medal

      it hasn't got a lot of attention on CDC, but Utunen looks like a solid prospect for us.

      @Hairy Kneel "Virtanen" is one of the most common (if not the most common) Finnish surnames. Liken it to Smith or Johnson in NA. So maybe a distant relative :)

  6. Gagner went point-per-game in the AHL on a poor Marlies team.

      lets hope he was sufficiently shamed and is now motivated to make an actual effort. He took training camp for granted this year.

      Boucher is over a point per game on a poorer Comets team.

    3. Baer.

      Baer.

      It's almost like being point per game in the AHL isn't difficult...

  7. How close was Selanne to scoring 50-in-50 in his rookie season?

    1. Baer.

      Baer.

      I believe he had either 40 or 43 goals by the 50 game mark.

    2. Jig Jones

      Jig Jones

      Took him about 60 games to get 50. He scored 25 goals in his last 21 games.

      How much are Marner and Matthews worth compare to McDavid ( 8 yrs, $100 million ) and Draisatil ( 8 yrs. $68 Million ) ?

    3. Alflives

      @6string

      If Matthews and Marner keep up this pace of putting up points, I see them coming in at more than McDavid and Draisatl.  Plus, the two are just better players anyway.  (Ha Ha Oiler fans!)

      I see Matthews as 13 mil, and Marner as 10 mil.  

    4. 6string

      Alflives..I agree with those numbers.

      Makes sense that they honour his achievement in a game involving the Canucks. I don't think that choice was coincidence.

      I tried using his writing as toilet paper.  Was far too irritating and already full of &%#@,

  12. That was the worst icing call I've ever seen.

  13.  The X-men Dark Phoenix trailer was actually really good. Though reportedly, they're doing reshoots now which is changing the ending so that it could be a finale if it ends up being the last x men movie before the Disney merger.

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      I used to like the X-Men in the early 80's. Then the stories got dumb.

      X-Factor, that was a waste of the original X-men. 

      Eventually I got tired of it.

       

      It's funny I appreciate Batman (mostly, the idea of him needing a sidekick is just stupid, some of his rogues gallery is real stupid too), and Green Arrow, as they are the more grounded heroes. Even if they live in fictional cities. Maybe that's why I like the Longbow Hunters. They took Green Arrow and moved him to Seattle. 

  14. Had this recorded on VHS back in the day.

     

  15. Graham Norton and Craig Ferguson are so much better than Kimmel or Fallon.

      I miss Craig Ferguson!! Never found Fallon much too funny again after discovering him.

       

      I'd cry laughing at Ferguson, now maybe I chuckle at Fallon. Norton's pretty great, too. The Late Late Show and Graham Norton were/are a lot better set up for fun, and have more of a relaxed attitude in general. 

       

      Kimmel's not bad, but he's easily 3rd out of 4 here.

      Letterman was pretty good in his prime.

  16. Just watched 'Too Many Cooks', 'Unedited footage of a Bear', 'This house has people in it, and 'Broomshakalaka' back to back.

     

    I loved two of them.

    1. thejazz97

      Too Many Cooks was hilarious, but around minute six it became a little overbearing.

  17. Agents of SHIELD renewed for season 6!

  18. If people needed more reason to support the Leafs, or cheer against the Bruins, same thing, the Utica Comets play the Toronto Marlies in the first round of the AHL playoffs. If Toronto loses in 5, the Marlies will get players back from the Leafs. At least hope the series goes to 6 so that the Marlies don't get reinforcements till at least game 3 of a best of 5.

      My hate for Toronto is too strong, I hope Boston finishes them in Game 5 with Kadri's return. But I'll be watching Utica and the Marlies online, I wanna see our prospects play and get some idea who may be competing for the bigs next season.

    3. JM_

      I've decided that I can hope for a Leafs loss and not care what happens in Boston. I'm living on that edge. 

    4. brilac

      I don't care for either team - Maple Leafs- Bruins.  And it's odd that the Maple Leafs were the 1st team I ever knew.  I was 5, and my grandfather was a Leafs fan. But I am interested on who will win.  This is a very interesting Playoff series.

  19. As much as I hate CBC's Toronto bias, I'm all Leafs for their series. I will never cheer for Boston. It goes beyond Marchand, Tim Thomas, Dr. Recchi and the rest for me now. Their fans are awful. The gifs that were on twitter when the Sedins announced their retirement of the Daniel speedbagging and the absolute lack of respect. Never.

      I can't agree with that. I'm not sure if I hate the Leafs, or the media that loves the Leafs, or maybe both. Anyway, if the Leafs win the Cup or even have success in the playoffs, that's all Canadians will hear about for months. I'm not sure I can tolerate that. If the Bruins knock off the Leafs, I don't think they'll go on to the Cup finals, so it doesn't really matter. Anyone else want to open the paper at the end of June and see a headline that reads: "Matthews' Leafs Canadian Heroes With Canada's First Cup Championship In Over 25 Years". Not me. I'm pulling for WPG to bring a Cup north of the border.

      Could see Wennberg to Habbies, easily.. Add a D-man & take back Chucky?

  22. The Sedins should go for 1 fighting major before retiring. Even better? They should fight each other.

      This is like a Goku vs. Vegeta match but way better.

  23. Send the Sedins to the Draft Lottery! Two chairs!

  24. Last year the Avs were so bad that we had no chance at 30th in the league. This time, we have a legit shot at 31st.

      Bouchard is the guy we pick if we're 6 or worse, IMO. Boqvist is our 4/5 pick and maybe even 2/3, though Svechnikov and Zadina could rival for 2/3 as well.

    3. Tortorella's Rant

      and we'll still get the 5th pick.

      @Pears I'd rather a defenceman who can play defense and isn't undersized.  Bouchard puts up more than enough offense and brings a better rounded game.

       

       

       

  25. There's no way Green's Mom isn't winning the poll.
