  1. I don’t know how many listen to the game on actual terrestrial radio at this point, so 650 should take what they can get. Their real value is in their shows, which is basically limited to Halford (not Brough) and Sat and Dan. Of course those guys could always go the podcast route and potentially make more money. It’s pretty weird to me that 650 is essentially the only game in town for sports broadcasts and yet can’t secure the rights.
  2. I always loved the Grizzlies colours.
  3. This has been on the menu forever and every so often it resurfaces as if its a brand new thing and makes the rounds of social media earning scorn from Laffs fans and laughs from everywhere else. The funniest thing about it is the owner is a Habs fan, but every time this pops up you get a bunch of smoothbrained, mouthbreathing Leaf fans attacking Canucks fans over it because the 17 mile pub is on the island and reading is hard.
  4. That black and grey NYI uniform is a special kind of bad.
  5. I would like to see a late 90s/early 00s throwback uniform. It's not better than what the team is wearing now and I don't want them to make any permanent changes, but seeing as we're throwing back to seemingly every era, why not the time with Nazzy, Ohlund, Bert, etc? It's also the era when I got into the team and if people can wax nostalgic about the skate, why not the West Coast Express?
  6. Oh hell yeah fam it’s CLEAN. Str8 bussin’, no cap. Them fits be high key on fleek for real. Watch the squad glow up and slay in these TBH.
  7. “BFBS” means “Black for Black’s Sake”, which refers to a design trend popular in the 90s/2000s where sports teams would inexplicably add black to their colour schemes and looking worse in the long run. If you think the Canucks should wear black I can respect your opinion, but I think shoving it into the existing blue, green and white colour scheme is a really bad idea from a design standpoint. It muddies the design and ruins the contrast and colour balance of an already fantastic scheme. If you like it because it’s “unique”, I would argue just blue and green are even more so. The Canucks were the first big 4 team to wear those colours and adding black would make them look more like the rest of the league.
  8. God no. The BFBS trend is one of the worst things to ever happen to uniform design. Adding black simply muddles up the fantastic blue and green colour scheme.
  9. Well this will be the first Canucks jersey I buy since they finally got rid of the "VANCOUVER" wordmark in 2019. Well done.
  10. I've pretty much stepped away as well. I remember sitting in the stands after my friend bailed on going to the game with me and just wondering what the hell I was doing. I just had a hard time justifying why I spent so much time, energy and money on watching other people play a game. My life could be so much further ahead if I didn't focus so much on something I had no control over. I still love the Canucks and want them to win, and I still pop in here once in awhile to post my insipid comments when something wild happens or I'm really bored, but I've gone from watching every Canucks game I can, highlight games around the league, every NFL game I can, going to local hockey games etc, to basically watching a marquee game if I don't have anything else going on.
  11. That's pretty silly. "You can't point out my gaping leg wound because you also have a gaping leg wound."
  12. Yeah but nobody is saying OEL has a “good” contract. The most you’ll get is people saying compared to Nurse, Jones, Karlsson etc it doesn’t look as bad. It’s making things up so you have something to argue about.
  13. If the HHOF inducted players wearing a cap like baseball, Lu would 100% be wearing a Panthers one. I don’t know why some people are getting twisted about this.
  14. To be fair, Broberg is essentially Virtanen on defence.
  15. Calgary just can’t stand not having their team brimming with dirtbags can they?
  16. NOPE 6/10. I enjoyed it, but don't really think it has much rewatchability.
  17. Canucks fans are no worse than any other fanbase, and the people here who complain about how terrible we are only do so because they have little exposure to any others.
  18. I'd bet money on it being Nike, which would be awful from a design perspective. Also, here's hoping the Canucks have finally learned their lesson and don't cave to the pressure of changing their uniforms again.
  19. Also, I do want to pump the brakes on all the speculation here. Fakes and prototypes pop up all the time. We have no idea if this is real.
  20. That’s fine, everyone has a different opinion on their preferred logo and none are objectively correct. I will say though that calling something “minor leaguish” isn’t really a valid criticism because it doesn’t mean really anything, you could describe any logo as “minor leaguish” if you wanted.
  21. Nah you can definitely still tell the difference. Just like in Calgary you could definitely see the distinction between actual ranchers and the larpers wearing cowboy hats and boots to go work at Scotiabank.
