  1. He kind of reminds me of Dale Weise when he came back from the Dutch league and suddenly thought he was a skill only guy lol
  2. What I am noticing from this game vs Islanders. -Jake can fly. Like he is seriously fast. (Obviously) -His speed gets him into open areas but when he’s there he’s been making really bad passes resulting in turnovers and scoring chances going the other way. I’ve been wowed a few times with a good play then immediately after he throws it up the middle and it’s a turnover or a bad pass off the mark. -He looks much better playing on a different line than the sedins. Jake was just too fast and not smart enough to play with the sedins and I’m glad he’s on another line that works better with his style. -He keeps passing up opportunities to finish his checks. He doesn’t have to finish every one but there seems to be quite a few that he can just crush the guy but he skates by him without a tap. -He’s got to get his shots on net. Been missing the net a bunch this season. -He needs to use his speed to drive to the net. For a guy that fast and strong he rarely cuts to the net, it’s always shots from the outside that are easy saves. I see him trending in the right direction. If he can fix up these deficiencies he can be really dynamic.

      If they can't properly pronounce their own country's name, how do you think they will be able to do so with other countries' names? #MURICA

  4. Pettersson is playing RW at the moment. If he doesn’t make it as a C in the NHL I’m sure he would stick at RW.
  5. Where can I get some canucks rookie cards? I want Boeser and Pettersson cards but I can’t find any

      I wouldn't be surprised if collectors are hoarding them to sell high 10 years from now.

      That’s what I’m thinking too. I just want these cards for the man cave once I buy a house. Frame them and hang em up. Maybe get their autographs.

      @ken kaniff

      Reminds me of a present I made for my brother for Christmas about 7 years ago.  Found one hockey card for each player from the '94 run and put it in a frame.  Even organized them into their usual lines.  (For the record Canuck Dana Murzyn and Murray Craven cards were a $%#^% to find).

  6. I totally forgot about that. Guess there’s nothing to hate about the guy.
  7. I’ve been a huge supporter of Guddy and I think he was one of our best defensemen early in the season but the past 5-6 games he has been brutal. I’ve noticed he turns over the puck a ton and is constantly caught out of position. I’m really hoping he turns it around but rn he’s just showing that he is big and tough and can fight but he’s not very good at hockey. At least not on this team anymore
  8. I legit thought the Juolevi thread and Pettersson thread got merged somehow. But yeah has Pettersson got a hat trick yet? Guys a bust
  9. Am I in the wrong place? Thought this was an Elias Pettersson thread
  10. I’d like to see Gudbranson given a shot on the power play as a net front guy like Byfuglien was with the hawks. Guddy is huge and hard to move out of the way.  Could work amiright?

      Meh, Byfuglien had lotsa points and offensive prowess prior to that experiment so I wouldn't expect the same result. With our luck he'd probably get injured by friendly fire.

      Could work.

       

      If you park him in front of the net for the whole 2 minutes. Otherwise, his lack of speed and the way he handles the puck like a grenade on his stick means he needs to be kept as far away from the power play as possible.

      I seem to recall Byfuglien being allowed to get away with a fair bit in front of the net (didn't he give a gloved punch to Luongo one playoff series without getting a penalty?).  I'm not sure Guds would get the same latitude.

  11. What channel is the game on tonight? I can’t seem to find it on tv

      @diesel_3 I wish I was joking.

  13. I think Gudbranson has been our 2nd best d man so far behind Tanev. He's made some great defensive plays breaking up scoring chances and he adds some toughness on the back end. He's becoming one of my favorite players in the team. I want to keep this guy around for the future. Hope he signs long term at a reasonable cap hit.
  14. Who will be our 2C next year if the Sedins retire? Granlund, Gagner, Pettersson, Burmistrov, Sutter, Gaunce, Gaudette? Or trade for someone?

      If all our picks make it then Sven and granlund won't be on the team anymore

  17. Oh I member! Member Chewbacca? But yes I'm glad Willie is gone along with his love affair for Megna.
  18. TSN has posted at least 6 articles about the Leafs signing Marleau. Like really?

  19. I called it as soon as we traded for Dahlen way before taking those 2 out for dinner. Read the date of my first post there.
  20. I called it. Shoutout to Talon71 for the rep post or I would have totally forgot about this.
  21. Does anyone think Tryamkin will return to the canucks down the road? I sure hope so. Thinking 3 years from now he will come back to us

      Rather be pessimistic and, pleasantly surprised. 

  22. Canucks should take a gamble and trade for Derrick Pouliot on Pittsburgh. Hasn't lived up to expectation but was amazing in junior. Could probably come for cheap.

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      pouliot was a defense partner with canuck's anton cederholm. could be a good gamble if the price isn't too high.

      subban for pouliot       subban wins cupmnext yr lol 

  23. Only thing interesting about the finals are the Nashville fans. Hockey has been hella boring 

    1. milk and honey

      milk and honey

      been like this last couple playoffs imo.

       

      nba is so predictable now

       

      nfl/cfl and mls for playoffs are fun.

    2. goalie13

      goalie13

      I'll take this kind of boring over 6-0 boring.  At least this way, the outcome is yet to be determined.

      Im biased but imo the last great series was the Van-Bos series. The hatred and drama in that series was unreal. The entire hockey world was talking about how nasty it was. Nothing like that since

  24. Do you think the Habs would be willing to part with Galchenyuk for our 5th overall? We may need to add but I don't think they are too big on Chucky and the Habs are heading in the wrong direction. They may need to start a rebuild soon. Their team isn't built properly.

     

    Dahlen-Galchenyuk-Boeser

    Baertschi-Horvat-Goldobin

     

     

    Chucky is a 30 goal scorer and still young.

      If we added a significant piece onto the pick, I could see them having interest.

      they desperately need scoring so I doubt its on the table.

      I would take this deal and run if I were JB, that said, I doubt it's on the table. They would want too big of an add imo. 

  25. Benning should sign Henrik Tommernes. Had a breakout season in Sweden. Get er done Jimbo
