  1. I think next offseason if realistically when the Canucks can start going for a Stanley Cup, contracts coming off the books and another year for the young core to get seasoned, bring in a little support and make 1 or 2 big playoff runs and just get the job done, give yourself atleast 2 cup final appearances with this core

      You can't honestly believe the Canucks bottom 6 stacks up favourably against any other west contender can you? What do you even do about the Kings (a very realistic 1st round matchup) when they have Kopitar, Dubois, Danault, and Byfield down the middle?

  2. I can't follow a sport that is fundamentally based in no small part on which players can 'dive' and 'fake' better than the other team's.

      So no hockey for you? Or basketball? Or Olympic diving?

  3. Would anyone be down for a JT Miller - Dubois swap? Similar to the Huberdeau - Tkachuk swap.

      This would be a fail.

       

      Dubois is bending over backwards to play for the Habs.

  4. Based on a rough (and fairly high standard) estimate of needing a .600 point percentage to make the playoffs, we need to have a record of about .650 from now on to make the playoffs. An example record would be 42-21-8.

  5. So would this be a good costume: dress up in my canucks jersey with a sign on my front with 3rd period 20 mins left to play with the canucks game scores and a sign on my back with the final result.

     

    nothing is scarier then the canucks in the 3rd period

      Just wear the jersey with a paper bag over your head.

  6. For those of you freaking out, this was the start for Boudreau’s Ducks team that one the division. 
     

    There are reasons to be worried, but there are also reasons for optimism. The sky isn’t falling yet, so let’s just breathe.

      Good teams can play for 25 minutes and squeak out a win.

       

      Bad teams can't.

       

      What camp are the Canucks in?

  8. need a gamebreaking winger for Miller (a la Laine) and a unquestionably top-4 defenseman for Hughes (a la Marino). Two of Garland, Boeser, Pearson Hoglander & Podz (rather not move) are expendable with value, along with Rathbone. Re-sign Lammikko ASAP. Keep the 2022 1st. Let's go JR

    1. Caboose

      Caboose

      Yeah, this should be no problem given how often game breaking wingers and top defenceman get moved.

  9. We need to seriously consider unretiring Bure's number:

      Ahh yes, abandon the homeland your family has lived for generations. What a reasonable take.

      Panarin came out against Putin and had to take a leave of absence to ensure his families safety. There is absolutely no way a moral stand is worth that.

      Putting the blame on Gillis when Benning bricked 2 top picks is pretty disingenuous, Daz.

      Firing a GM that wasn't working out almost immediately certainly helped.

       

      Knowing when to invest in free agency.

       

      Selling on their pending UFAs instead of letting them walk for nothing.

       

      Not trading picks.

  16. The NHL really decided the best way to slow us down was to postpone all our games, kill all the momentum we had, and take us right into an absolute gauntlet of a roadtrip

      I mean the waiver thing was a salary cap move, he strong armed the rest of the league into not claiming him. I'm certain had he not made that statement or had been willing to move teams he would have been claimed.

      That was my question, was looking for the line drawn when the suffering inflicted by the figure is no longer relevant in his celebration. You make a fair point about the generational trauma.

       

      Btw Khan isn't his name but a title in case you didn't know. It's like saying 'King'

      Racist history is still history. No doubt these figures shouldn't be celebrated, but pretending they didn't represent the Canadian identity as contemporaries doesn't serve anyone's interest IMO. It is important to recognize, acknowledge, and learn from the atrocities of the past without denying that their perpetrators are massive figures in our history.

       

      An interesting quandary: We have Sir John A, a despicable figure, on our money. In Mongolia, Genghis Khan is on theirs. Is that OK because enough time has passed between the Great Khan's genocides and the modern day, or should his figure be abolished as well?
