      dammit

      in my experience they were already way too hard to find

      so you are saying i should now treat them as

      extinct

       

      and hold out no hope of ever finding one in future

       

      or i could simply adopt the jim carey line

      and hope that you really are saying

       

      so there is still a chance

       

      ????

  2. Practiced media distancing today, checked news  and then took 4-6 hour breaks away from it. Feels great. 

  3. ah finally CDC works again. wouldn't load since yesterday evening. did anyone else have this issue?

  4. Dude, this sucks! Could never imagine a life without sports, it’s torture! Apparently now I have time to “get things done around the house” and “Spend extra time with my kids”, this is ridiculous.

  5. Hip's Fireworks is on the radio...I urge anyone feeling sad/worried/depressed during this current state of affairs to put that song on, find a sunny spot and breathe.  And preferably dance and/or sing too.

    Let's rise to this challenge and show that this country's people are resilient, can bond together and follow a plan that benefits everyone and that we take care of each other.  I'm seeing so much goodness here in this very forum.  We are all human beings.  And I'm damn proud of what I'm seeing in here lately...we've gone from trolls vs homers to...people all working toward a common goal.  Awesome.

  6. watching the giant flock of crows fly across E Van, drinking a beer. It ain't hockey, but its kind of neat.

      hate to be critical

      but you know we are lacking for entertainment

       

      where is the video of this magnificent flight pattern you witnessed

      please post it

      i'm sure we'd enjoy watching something on here

      without having to tilt our head skyward ourselves

       

      with some creativity

      we can do things like name the birds

      assess them for particular skill and rank them

      who knows what enjoyment can be gleaned

       

      record

      and post

       

      that should be the new mandate on here

  7. if we got 2 compliant buyouts for next year, who would you choose they buyout?

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      on these boards ?

       

      i'd buy out alf and king heffy

      heavy users, we could create a lot of posting space/distance on these boards

       

      i'd add vintage over heffy but these boards would collapse into nonsense without him

  8.  i get it this virus is bad but really closing restaurants and cafes whats next everything shut down people will riot if theres no where to get food what a joke 

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      cafes and restaurants will continue

      by providing food via delivery services

       

      not sure why you really would want  to go out and risk being served by a potentially sick server?

       

      what if one coughs over your food?

       

      you gonna make them wear gloves so they can hand you your plate of food ?

  9. Any team winning the Stanley Cup with less than 16 wins is a &^@#ing fraud.  

     

    End of story.

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      it's a big pipe dream to think the nucks would win

      so no need to frame it that way

       

      historically cups were won in less then 16 wins due to circumstances then

      circumstances now may require less then 16 wins in order to actually be able to award it this year

       

      i think the winning team will appreciate it just as much, possibly more, their fans as well

      due to present circumstances

      as they had to win games and beat a virus

      but what do i know

  10. might as well give Q the calder now.

  11. So, Tanev played every game of the 2019/20 season. 

  12. Just give every hockey player a ps4 and let's fire up some EASHL.

  13. The NHL Has Officially Postponed It's Season?

  14. What a year 2020 has been... and it’s only March.

  15. Life without sports is boring. 

  16. Luongo made his choice. Lets leave the rafter space for someone who's heart is here.

      my current sentiments are in agreement with you

       

      but

       

      i felt quite negative about bert and kessler as well

      and i find my sentiments have changed over time

       

      when i think about this issue with luongo

      i suspect it will just take some time

      just like it did for bure and the nucks

       

      despite all the torn heart strings here

      luongo is the best goalie in nuck history

      he will go the the hhof

      a big part of that is his very strong run with the nucks

  17. Prediction: Toffoli and Miller are gonna drag us into the playoffs. 

  18. Tired:  Jim Benning being fired

     

    Still tired:  Dale Tallon being hired

  19. The problem with the Canucks is that they are losing to teams they should beat!..And no Markstrom.

  20. Apparently half of the fan base should be on suicide watch because we're bubble playoff team. AKA just what we were predicted to be.

      welcome to the latest rendition of fandom

       

      i watched some online discussion about the nba

      you know, the fastest growing league in the world

      players making bundles and stacks of cash

      they have the "best" fan base

      have the most intense and well rounded social media fan base

       

      what is interesting is that the nba is so far unable to monetize

      the huge online interest of the huge social media presence of its fan base

      and has tinkered with its game a bit to cater to its fan base

       

      a very large part of the fan base does not watch entire games

      but focuses just on highlights

      and that is what drives their interest

      the spectacular plays that they can watch in rerun time

      the fundamentals of the nba game are starting to disappear

      listen to the so called old timers .. shaq, barkley, thomas, etc complain about the current game.. it is more 1 dimensional.. there is less balanced team play

      modern fans seem to want small snippets

      and more immediate gratification

      there is less patience and attention span

       

      so when you live so much in the moment

      everything is life or death i guess

      everything is more extreme

       

      nucks have a talented pool of prospects

      some are in the nhl

      some will be here soon

      it takes time for this to mature

      that requires patience from fans

      and some understanding about what this actually means

      a part of the fan base seems to lack this insight

       

      i hope the game does not change to cater to these fans though

      i'd miss the game of hockey

  21. AV leading Flyers to Cup?  Excellent defence minded systems.  

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      that might be a record

      if av takes a third team to a cup final

      has that been done before ?

       

      but, av so far

      makes a great bridesmaid

      never a bride yet

      he could be due

  22. you guys can tear the team down, i’m going to take a break and cheer my team on now, to the end of the season. i might be back in the summer. GCG.

      don't go joe

      posters will come round

      they just can't handle the current disappointment

      but the team will turn things around

      and all will be jumping back on the band wagon

       

      if all the supporters leave

      then the cruel and dark hearted will own these boards

      there is some strength in numbers

       

      reconsider

      enjoy the team development

      with others who have more patience

      and perspective about what is really going on

      you know this is a good core

      it just needs to mature

      it takes time

       

      too many on here demand immediate success

      and do not understand the process

      i think you do

      time to educate them joe

      you have a wealth of knowledge and life experience

      you have been a fan since this team was born

       

      not the time to go joe

      grit your teeth (even if they are false)

      and stay

  23. Projected cap next year: $84-$88m.  Should help with some of those atrocious contracts.  

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      hey VforVirtanen

       

      i thought the loui contract

      was for sure resolved and looked after

       

      you assured us it was in your hands

      and you had a plan to deal with it

       

      i no longer am factoring in this contract into any cap or team salary issues

      please conclude this ordeal as you said you would

       

      my $20 remains on my counter

      awaiting pick up

  24. hoping eriksson and canucks mutally terminate his contract after he gets his bonus then they can trade sutter ever if they have to retain 1.5-2.2 mill in cap and trade baertchi retain 1.7 nill  opens up 9-10mill  enough for toffoli and gaud and virtanen  plus caps going up so enough to sign markstrom  benn and roussel  can also be unloaded so ya benning has lots of options

    1. coastal.view

      coastal.view

      i'm sure you would walk away from millions of dollars you are guaranteed by contract as well

      :wub:
