We kept the better player.  I’ll tell you that for free…

I see what you did there 

2014 as a whole looks more impressive.  Too bad things weren't handled differently (eg., trading a couple of them for garbage players)

Too early to tell aside from Pettersson. I don’t want to get too hopeful, being a Canucks far for so long has taught me never to get my hopes up

But..but...we coulda had Ehlers! 

Or Pastrnak!

But considering Vancouver normally has first round complete busts. (At least until Benning came along)

At least Jake is closing on 100 points, and we got 311 games out of him.

It's the expectations were higher. 

Could you a center like the other 1st round selection Benning made that same draft year.

Lindros 2.0

I still think there's more here than was revealed to the media. I find it interesting there was no reports in Buffalo of Hodgson being high maintenance. I'm thinking Kelser had a hand in it. Kesler was worried a young centre was going to take away his ice time. Gillis would side with a vet over a rookie. Even if Hodgson's agent/Dad was pestering Gillis. He got suckered by Buffalo into moving him for Kassian. Unless doctors told Gillis that Hodgson's back was deteriorating, in which case that's worse that he used an excuse to try and pawn him off.

Being so young and naive I genuinely believed he was gonna be our joe Sakic or Stevie Y like the scouts were telling us

Steveston Tattoo...have to book pretty far in advance though.  My son just had one done in Van and is super happy with it....I'll find out where.

Dutchman for sure!

Hey, Logic. Not trying to frighten you at all. My symptoms were very similar to yours and I went nearly ten years before a doctor figured it out. Several chiropractors and physios completely missed it and tried all kinds of things that did not work. I really hope you don't have Ankylosing Spondylitis but talk to a doctor to rule it out. If it does turn out to be AS send me a private message and I can help you deal with any questions or concerns you have, and can point to others who can offer support. Please, please, please see a medical professional; CDC is no substitute for a qualified medical opinion.

Curmudgeon, with respect, it is was too early to be investigated for AS. Frankly, it would be a waste of health care resources at this point to get the blood work and xrays. His pain has only been around for 1.5 weeks. If it were months/years then that is a different conversation. I empathize with your story, 10 years is a long time to get a diagnosis. I wish you well

Get a different chiropractor for starters.  Massage therapist first.  

Ahh yes, triple gold legend Mikael Samuelsson

Different play styles, but Samuelsson in his prime was definitely a top 6 forward for us.

A larger TJ Oshie was my first impression...

And Jagr over 2000

Pens are lucky dirtbags

This core needs a Hansen. Tyler Madden, I'm staring in your direction as I write this.

If Goldobin makes it through, he'll dominate in the AHL. I really hope he gets his career together, regardless of what team he's on. He has so much potential.

Looking like the next “ to good for the ahl not good enough for top 6 nhl and not gritty enough for bottom 6 nhl

I must be one of the few people in NA that likes Canada geese.  I've never even met a Canadian that does.

I ran the 1991 Saskatoon Marathon (dubbed the Canada Goose Marathon), and at around Mile 24 (I was dead, a slow shuffle), when out of the corner of my eye I saw a gaggle heading towards me. Honking away. They actually chased me!  I had to try and pick up my pace, before they got too close, but then they stopped and went back to their business. lol Maybe just the push I needed tio finish the race. Thanks geese!

I feel like this is more of a tight pants comparison!?!

I think the Leafs have lost a lot of grit, and without grit, they aren't a Cup contender.

If Boston has bullied them the last couple years, what are they gonna do to them when Jake Muzzin is their only source of toughness/grit?

Their defense is going to be absolutely dreadful.  Hainsey was the only guy other than Muzzin who was capable of playing at the NHL level in their own end.  Looking forward to seeing our guys walk around their pylons and ventilating Andersen.  Burke was far too kind.

Cool! Smack Ron MacLean and say hi to Tara Sloan for me.

Casual walks and stairs are great!

Seconding JeFit

But then the Flyers gave away Sideshow Bob, & signed Mr Universe, Bryzy-G!

They've sure made their share of head-scratchers.

Never stop improving. 

He’s done the same thing every year..... ufa signings Miller vrbata eriksdone ect ect ect.... 

His team has been nothing short of awful even with the overpriced addition since the day he got here. But everyone better pile on the accolades for how wonderful his bottom dwelling team has been. 

Keep up the good work Jim if mediocrity has been the goal since he got here then he finally succeed at something. 

Good points logic. We could be the most improved team in the west, possibly the Avs? I dunno.

Teams going to be beastly with Green driving them all to play to their best. Gonna be a great year! 

I think he will be gone by 40

Ho-Sang?

Desi?

@logic Did you do any speed tests?

Are you sharing internet with anyone?
Do you have apps that you don't know that are in the background? (i.e. BitTorrent, Netflix etc)

I highly doubt your router's age is an issue. 2-3 is nothing.

@logic

I was thinking the same.   

The lockout makes it funky. It's our 50th year in existence, but 49th season. 

Buffalo is celebrating their 50th as well.

All good just wanted to suggest some other known places to you. The NHL store is authentic though.

benhsports sells authentic jerseys too I should note. and vanbase isn't completely sold out of jerseys yet.

sorry I should have put that I'm looking for a Petey Authentic Away
