  1. Gotta love dealing with (water)well issues at 1 in the morning -_-

      That sucks man. Consolation is the fact that it's not -40 outside?

  2. Dream scenario: sign Carlson and Doughty, bring back Tryamkin, trade Gudbranson for Borgstrom...

      Haha, Gudbranson for Borgstrom. That's a good one.

  3. Wheeler and JVR stated they will kneel during the anthem. Source: TSN

      I don't understand why anyone even gives a $&!# about this. Stand. Kneel. Who cares. So long as you play a good game of hockey, football, or whatever your sport is it shouldn't be a thing imo.

  4. Don't like to judge, but (this left me NO choice in the matter).  Dude at the gym.  Yo.  Hat on backwards,  (nothing wrong with that, except when paired with...).  Super short shorts + low hanging wife beater.  Strutting around like a proud peacock, but not in a friendly way.  Thug like.  Plunks himself on the ab machine, immediately pulls out his phone, strikes a blue steel pose, then starts playing his pecs.  You know the move...contract one, then the other, rapidly, in succession.  Rinse, repeat.  Too much, bro.  I have to leave now, you're awesomeness is killing me...

  5. I miss watching hockey :-(

      It's especially bad now when the only decent sport to watch is MLS. Baseball and CFL :S :S :S :S :S

  6. So I bought a foam roller today and used it for about fifteen minutes just now. In terms of pure unadulterated pleasure I'd put it on par or just below sex. This thing is going to get some mileage out of me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  7. So based on that trade, what is Tanev's value?

    1. Tigs

      Tigs

      There are very specific circumstances that went into the MTL/TBL trade. Don't even think about trying to draw any comparisons from this trade, lol.

  8. The Brandon Wheat Kings were swept. Nolan Patrick didn't play in any of those games...

      @Master Mind I'm still feeling like Hischier should be the #1 pick this year, due to the injuries and the way he carried the Swiss at the WJC. Might be a standalone opinion, but it's one I feel strongly about. :P

  9. Food for thought:

     

    MacKinnon, 31 points TOI: 20:13

    Horvat: 30 points, TOI: 17:41

     

     

    1. Tigs

      Yeah, that's not a good comparison. You can't just pull random stats like that and say they're similar. There are multiple factors that play into this. 

       

      For example, Colorado is dead last in the league. Based on points the Canucks are almost 2 times better than the Avs (1.77x better to be exact.). The Canucks have scored 2.43 GPG and the Avs have scored a league low 2.02 GPG. MacKinnon has been apart of 0.36 of all Avalanche goals whereas Horvat has only been a part of 0.27 of all Canuck goals. If the Avalanche had scored the same amount of goals as the Canucks Mackinnon would be on pace for 40.32 points which would put him at 18th in overall NHL scoring - definitely a ranking where the league's elite scorers sit at. 

       

      I'm hoping you didn't mean to compare them directly, but this is just not even close in my mind and couldn't leave it alone.

  10. Canucks sitting with worst goal differential in the league at -19. 

  11. Trader Jim you better be up to something. If this team can't score, we're doomed to be in the basement and changes will happen

      That's perfect. Please change nothing GMJB.

  12. How do people legitimately think that Toronto/Columbus will do better than us?

    1. Tigs

      Tigs

      Toronto got much better with people like Marner, Matthews, and Andersen joining the club. On D, I'd expect Reilly to be better this year, Zaitsev to perform, and Carrick to exceed expectations. I expect Bobrovsky to have a bounce back year for Columbus, Bjorkstrand to score a lot, and Werenski to provide stability/offense on the back end. I can see why people would say that.

  13. Have the Flames signed Gaudreau and Monahan yet? :o

    1. Tigs

      Tigs

      Lots of substantial RFA's that are still unsigned. Kucherov, Ristolainen, Gaudreau, Monahan, Trouba, Lindholm, Rakell, Ceci, Nichushkin, Orlov, and Rieder just to name a few. Still lots to happen in the off-season.

  14. What's the name of that song that goes ahh-uh-ahh ahh ahh. talking talking. ... to youu (kinda sounds like florence and the machine or adele or some girl like that. 

  15. Has anybody else seen Jakob Stukel's highlight reel? I'm shocked he isn't getting more talk around here. The kid looks electric.

    1. Tigs

      Best prospect group in the league is for sure Arizona. Keller, Dvorak, Fischer, Garland, Macinnis, Merkley, Perlini, Samuelsson, Strome, Chychrun....that's not even including the players that had breakout seasons last year (Domi/Duclair).

       

      As far as the Canucks go, yes our prospects are good - but it has yet to be seen what level of prospects they are. Right now they pale in comparison to players like Ehlers, Conner, and Laine that Winnipeg has as far as elite players go. (This is just my opinion of course.)

  18. Auston Matthews always looks so indifferent to everything happening around him.

     

    Meanwhile Laine seems to act like a human being and not a robot.

     

    The Europeans, they are taught to have fun and celebrate good things. North Americans are taught that you should be considerate to others and not come across as gloating or "showing somebody up".

     

    Our superstars lack any personality as they don't want to upset the uptight bunch of people who care far too much about such things. This is the same reason why PK Subban rubs people the wrong way yet Jonathan Toews is praised for being the good ol' Canadian boy. We do a good job of stifling charisma and candidness here.

      Different personalities is all it is imo.

  19. so i am wondering why aren't the rumours for erikkson to sign with us before july 1st hasn't happened yet.

  20. I now have about 4 or 5 trolls that do everything they can to derail the subject of the post to make them about me rather than the subject line.

    Apparently that is okay with the moderators, hence this latest thread that was dealing with events of the day with minimum personal input to start, which got high jacked anyway and then closed off, by you, a moderator.

     

    Why aren't these poster's, whose contributions are mostly ridiculing the author's, be disciplined?

     

    This thread lasted what? 15 minutes? What if I had an entire story line that I was proof reading prior to adding to the thread.

     

    It would be nice to get an answer.

  21. IMO the Canucks will lose Sbisa or Hansen at the expension draft. We know Sbisa wont be protected and Hansen will only have 1 year left, I dont see the Canucks protecting him. Best guess is Sbisa is the player the Canucks lose

    1. Tigs

      Tigs

      Too many other good defensemen available if you work it out. It'll be one of our forwards imo.
