  1. I blame the draft media. Every first overall pick needs to be hyped up as this unbelievable, franchise altering player who will change the way the game is played. And then they turn out to just be a "regular" star player but the labels have stuck.
  2. The guy was a Canucks Army writer who somehow found his way up the food chain. As far as I'm concerned thats like giving a radio show to any of us blowhards.
  3. IIRC we were 7th with 5 of the original 6 being ahead of us, and Philadelphia, with Detroit behind us, likely due to the age of their arena.
  4. Picked up some Canucks themed beer today. Maybe it will bring good luck. At least I hope so, because it isn't very strong if it doesn't.
  5. Been really digging Ice Nine Kills recently. I'm always appreciative of heavier acts who don't take themselves seriously and embrace memes.
  6. Mac and Cheese for Christmas Dinner? Trade him.
  7. Messier has to be aware of how hated he is here right? There's a reason he doesn't do any promo work in Vancouver. This couldn't have come as a shock to him. Then again maybe his moose sized ego expected Henrik to fluff him anyway.
  8. He's one of those guys you can tell wants to win, not just score, and he'll do whatever is required to actually win. And those are the guys you want on your team.
  9. Yeah his straight line speed is fine, especially for a guy with his bulk he looks like a freight train. Its his overall maneuverability, edgework, balance etc that looks like it needs some work. Like I said I watch him and sometimes it honestly looks like they forgot to sharpen his skates. He's performing well as a rookie and clearly has good work ethic and drive so if they were to hook him up with a good skating coach like Bo got, I think he'd absolutely take off.
  10. I think Podz needs to work on his skating. I really like his game overall, and I think he's going to be a long term player for us, but I can't help but think about how much better he'd be doing with better footwork.. It honestly looks like he's out there with unsharpened skates at times. Bo needs to hook him up with his skating coach.
  11. It likely has nothing to do with Pettersson. Whenever a wealthy celebrity donates to anything a bunch of cretins always come crawling out of the woodwork to whine about how they didn't donate enough/to the right cause.
  12. Imagine being so full of vitriol you'd sneer at someone for only donating fifty thousand dollars to charity.
  13. Alright Riccio don't you have a show today?
  14. Yeah biting is over the line but Matthew being oblivious to the irony of his comments is something else.
  15. He's a former Canuck and thus good at coaching. If there is one thing 53 years of Canucks management has taught us is that hiring alumni always works out.
  16. Gonna have to stop with those mind-boggling trade proposals for your career to take off.
  17. You probably don't want someone you know is breaking up with you to have the keys to your franchise through the trade deadline and draft.
  18. Damn, good on Buffalo for landing the best player in the 2012 draft at league minimum.
