  2. Hutton has been nominated for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award for a second conscutive year. Not doing well in the votes though. http://www.hobeybaker.com/awards/the-hobey-baker-memorial-award/vote
  3. http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2014/10/28/melanson-on-markstrom-shutout-streak-im-not-surprised/ Not sure if link is mobile. If so, I'm sorry. Article is about Markstrom from Melanson.
  4. I think most would hope that you're right about this. The message I'm getting is not to lose our minds if you're wrong. Should his production be slower, espicially off the bat, there is a good reason for it. Some on CDC tend to overreact without looking at all the variables. That being said, it's not unheard of for a player to come back without missing a beat and start producing right away. I hope this will be the case.
  5. I enjoyed reading this just now (haven't seen it posted here). http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/vancouver-canucks/Canucks+prospect+Horvat+primed+rookie/10182966/story.html There's a bit in there that talks about how he loves to skate in the summer and takes minimal time off of training. His work ethic sounds top notch. I'm super excited to see what he can do come young stars tourney.
  6. My understanding is that Bonino is considered a very good 3rd line center or a fringe second line center. So do you think that Vey could be a better fit in the 2C roll, knocking Bonino and Matthias down respectively? Also, on topic, I like the look of that line-up as far as talent goes, my only worry is 2C which I've asked about above
  7. I love how often this has changed. A couple days ago he said that an offer would have to blow him away and current offers weren't cutting it. Yesterday he says he has several concrete offers and that one was more than fair. Then this comes out today.. What an absurdly frustrating saga.
  8. I'm gonna say Benning pulls the trigger on a Kesler trade tomorrow to allow himself time to get his new assests in order for the draft. This assumption is based on nothing and I will not defend it if challenged; However, if I'm right, I'll totally boast about how smart and well connected I am.

  10. Would love to see Eddie come out with this mask the next time we play Florida.
  11. Yes, justify being a prick because the world is a tough place. I've decided, you're an awful person.
  12. You're the guy who's willing to insult people because they see things differently than you. Weather you're right or wrong, the way you went about this is childish. All fan bases have all kinds of fans. There's no fixing a fanbase, no overall "wellbeing", you can only choose to support with the type of fan that you like and respect. There are alot of things said and done by Canuck fans that I disagree with but in the end it's not hurting anyone so why bother berrating them? Nobody is going to change their mind after reading this. Some people will walk away with some self satisfaction that their point of view is re-enforced and others will walk away insulted. At the end of the day, you'll still be frustrated with our fanbase as a whole, the only difference is a few other people will be pissed off as well.
  13. What an arrogant thread. If a mod did infact give him permission to openly insult and generalise the entire CDC community, you should be ashamed of yourself. I don't care how people see our fan base. I care to talk hockey with people who want to do the same. The fan rumour mill is not going to drive players away, they have more important things to worry about. Nothing about enjoying the hockey experience should involve you comming in here and spewing your condescending c**p. If you don't like the discussion here, find a board where you do like it. You then have the nerve to say your point is going over our heads when we get upset with you for blatenley insulting us. You may be trying to "fix" our fan base, but all you're accomplishing is bringing people down. You're an awful or misguided person. I can't decide.
  14. I'm not certain but I think he was being facetious.
  15. I thought I read somewhere that Sharks managment said McLellan should stay. (<-- credible sentence if I've ever heard one) Also, people have speculated that Trotz might run a nore offensive system here based on our pieces and that he was never really given the opportunity to do so in Nashville. Do you have any thoughts on that?
  16. &nbsp; &nbsp; I could be wrong but my understanding of the President role is that it is strictly business managment as opposed to the GM who concerns himself with the team. If that's correct, wouldn't Linden be the perfect candidate as president? He's had success in his own business, so he's not new to the role, he's just never experienced it at this level. He's also loved by the demographic that's targeted in the industry. This seemingly makes him the ideal figurehead for this franchise. All of this is assuming that my understanding of the presidential role is correct though.
  17. Going to be there tonight, can't wait!! Here is a bonus link about the Sedins that I think you all will appreciate! Havn't seen it posted yet. http://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1tzd9o/how_similar_are_the_sedins_producing_this_season/ced07k3
  18. Anyone able to make a gif. of that hit? I can't watch vids on this computer but i've heard people raving about it from a few different sources and I really want to see it! Edit: Thanks Avelanch! Was not disappointed. What a hit!
  19. I'm so angry about this, but it made me smile. Have a +1!
  20. More exciting thingss need to start happening. Compulsivley refreshing Trades, Rumors and Signings just hasn't been fulfilling lately.

      DirtyDangles, if help comes in the form of exciting hockey news then I'll accept it gladly. Otherwise, i'm afraid that I'm a lost cause. Damn the summer doldrums!
