  1. Every city craps all over others. I was in Calgary last week and people there were running down Vancouver. It’s not unique to here, but whenever it gets brought up, even in a playful way like in this thread about our rivals, somebody inevitably complains about “ELiTiSm”
  2. I don't know if the Canucks will be able to land him after the Oilers took him to the prairie equivalent of Earls. Talk about pulling all the stops.
  3. I still have hope for Dickinson. He can be a good player going forward.
  4. Yeah but so does every UFA. I understand we’re in the slow news cycle part of the year, and the Canucks being on the “shortlist” (whatever that ultimately means) for a KHL standout is intriguing. But ultimately this thread boils down to nothing more than “I hope he comes here”. There is little to really discuss here. A KHL star on a cheap contract would be a great addition, but that can only mean so much.
  5. Seeing as nothing has come of this yet, I’m just going to be an ass and chime in to say how dumb these threads are. The Canucks should be “interested” in everybody, (provided they aren’t a scumbag), the question is the cost.
  6. I trust Kypreos about as far as I can throw him. And Kipper looks like a heavy dude.
  7. Pasta is a great player, one of the few Bruins I like, but I would not pay the price it would take to get him.
  8. And with Edmonton gone, all is right with the world (of hockey). I really couldn't care who wins now. Most of the playoffs for me is rooting against teams once the Canucks are out.
  9. Probably the right call. Kane done for the playoffs, but at the same time Kadri isn't getting any sympathy from me.
  10. Yeah it's really funny. All the comments are so bewildered, they can't even fathom the idea of other fans not kissing their foreheads and patting their backs. They're like spoiled kids who don't understand why people don't give them sympathy after they throw tantrums for not getting their own way.
  11. Oilers fans are crying about everyone else hating them, calling them toxic, classless fans, etc. It's music to my ears. You reap what you sow.
  12. Do these discussions ever go anywhere? It's just the same dumb talking points from fans of every jersey, going in circles and never ending.
  13. Love it. He fits his nickname even more now.
  14. Flames fans screeching about Coleman apparently not kicking the puck in and the refs being blind. Even if thats true, Joel Otto kicked it in in '89, so c'est la vie.
  15. Well, that wasn't a great idea. I'm a native, fluent English speaker who hasn't read those books and I had a hard time understanding what was going on too with all the unexplained nonsense words. I had to google a bunch of them after the movie.
  16. It would be so funny if they fired DeBoer expecting to get Trotz and he just said “Yeah no thanks, I see how this operation is run” and just left them there bewildered that their actions have consequences.
  17. All I hope for is a long, brutal, series where the winner is so devastated by the end of it that they get swept by Colorado. Edmonton has a bunch of unlikable players, and is Edmonton. Calgary has a bunch of unlikable players and is Calgary. I don't care that they have a bunch of former Canucks. I don't wish them any ill will as people, but as hockey players they chose to go to the Flames so they're dead to me and I wish them nothing but failure now. Its weird to be excited for a series where you despise both teams.
