  1. I don't think I'll ever make peace with the double scoreboard. It seems so silly.
  2. They couldn't get Ann to sing O Canada as well? What cheap BS is that?
  3. Dad: Well son we're Seattle fans, so unless the team is actively fellating #Us12s as a fanbase we have no interest in the teams. Go Hawks!
  4. I think the Canucks are the league leaders in sitting through bloviating home opener ceremonies. Maybe we should raise a banner for that.
  5. An Orca over something that doesn't exist? My money is on the cetacean.
  6. I'm a Giants fan as well, and I'll cheer for pretty much anyone but Houston at this point. If LA somehow makes it through that would be a very tough moral conundrum.
  7. I think its gonna be an absolute gongshow. Looking forward to it.
  8. I went to a Shamrocks/Salmonbellies game a few years ago while the election was on, and this gentleman was literally switching between the two teams jerseys between stoppages in play and taking pictures. I know local Lacrosse games aren't the biggest deal, and politicians typically are known for doing whatever they can to get favour, but that seemed particularly brazen. Not at all relevant to the thread, but seeing him in a jersey brought that memory back. Also, I hate to be Duane from Buffalo, but that's a fake jersey. C'mon Horgan, put a little more effort in.
  9. Ah, an unironic "So you're saying" meme. Pretty hypocritical of you to call me condescending when you handwave away an argument I never made.
  10. "Man who despises and knows absolutely nothing about guns accidentally kills someone when handed a gun." Colour me absolutely shocked. Next you'll tell me somebody got behind the wheel after drinking and crashed their car. EDIT: This comment was made out of shock at what happened and a dislike of Alec Baldwin. After some time to consider it I recognize it isn't fair and I rushed to the comment before we have a full picture of the situation. I'm not going to be a coward and delete it, but I'm adding this addendum to clarify I recognize it isn't right to make comments like this in this situation and I don't stand by it.
  11. I'm not even going to get into a logo discussion. The problem with the Canucks is that they've never had a truly good logo. They're all seriously flawed in some way or another so everybody just picks their personal favourite as the "best" one. However, the hill I will die on is the colours. Whatever logo they slap on the front, they should never stray from the blue and green again.
  12. Its completely arbitrary. You're choosing the particular parameters you want to make your case. I could do the exact same with points, presidents trophys, Art Ross Winners, playoff series, etc.
  13. Ah, so based on your completely arbitrary math, the black and red teams are better. I'll have you know that Loui Player Name has 1 assist this season. But, if you multiply that number by 2858, he has more points than Gretzky's entire career in that span. Therefore, Loui is a superior player.
  14. The Canucks also had their best teams by far wearing blue and green. This is a merry-go-round that never ends. Looking better isn't a good enough reason to change it? Why change any jersey ever then? The Islanders should never have moved on from the fishsticks because there was no reason to. You're telling me someone clamouring for something won't start complaining when they get that? Odd. Usually when a three year old cries about wanting a cookie, and you give him one, he gets even more pissed and doesn't want it.
  15. I think its just because the skate is different. Its an alternate to what we have now. If we went back to the Skate full time, before too long people would start clamouring for the team to go back to the blue and green look and romanticizing the 2011 team like they do with 94.
  16. No. This is so dumb, I'm so sick of hearing it. The "blue and green are too passive" idea is middle schooler psychology that lead to us having the flying V's. The Canucks have a beautiful, fitting, unique colour scheme and they need to actually stick with it rather than switch to a generic Pittsburgh/Boston/Vegas/Calgary knock off. The "intimidation" idea is so dumb. No grown man being paid millions of dollars to play a game is going to be scared by what the opposition is wearing. Otherwise Pittsburgh would have been a dumpster fire the past 15 years and the Panthers would have 12 cups because Panthers are more intimidating than Penguins. Tampa is a garbage team because blue and white is too calm of a colour scheme. While we're at it lets change the name of the team to "Super Killer Death Whales" to really make our opponents shake in their boots. I guarantee you that if we went back to the skate colours, within ~5 years everybody would be clamouring for blue and green to come back because its always grass-is-greenerism. I remember back in 2007 when the team started wearing the stick-in-rink as thirds, everybody wanted the team to go back to blue and green, the Germany colours were an afterthought. The Skate jerseys were a fun throwback, and they'd be fine as a third, but thats it. This team needs to build a consistent identity around a consistent look, not switch it around every few years because the fans inexplicably seem think changing back to a jersey they never won in will help them win.
  17. Some boos coming down at the end there. Chicago is definitely on the hot seat now.
