  1. I’m coming around on some of these new guys. Seem to add a lot of the bite we’ve been missing for a while now. I really liked Bikel on the back line. Made Pavano’s night really tough. Owusu has a similar type game so looking forward to both of them making opponents hate playing this team. Inbeom’s bad game does concern me though. Seemed hesitant and made poor decisions all night, which isn’t good news for our attack if he doesn’t show better. Definitely a better feeling about this group than anytime over the last 3 seasons.
  2. Who the coach and GM are will never matter as long as Jerry Jones...er I mean the slumlord...is the GM of this team.
  3. I'm torn about this deal right now. We have core players that need to be signed in the next year or two and we're already in a cap crunch. And what concerns me is that JB doesn't have a history of getting good value when trading roster players to free up cap space and/or restocking draft picks and prospects. Regardless of whether we can re-sign Tofolli or not, we'll have to pay the piper at some point. I just worry that we're once again going down the road of trading picks and prospects for success now. Really well managed teams like the Lightening are successful consistently because they're restocking their picks and prospects while the team is good. Sure this will help the team now. But it will cost us in cap flexibility later and ability to re-sign or get value for players later.
  4. This article gets me even more excited about this kid. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-prospects-tracker-podkolzin-makes-his-point-rathbone-sees-red
  5. My vote is still for this one. It's catchy, simple, and powerful at the same time.
  6. Great goal song. But it's been the Bruins song for years. That would go over well in this town wouldn't it? Come to think of it, would be fun to see the Canucks DJ troll everyone by playing that song for a game.
  7. Lol. That I knew. But now I'm feeling old Deb. Didn't see the Cheech & Chong reference coming.
  8. If I'm Travis, I've got a box of white dry fit undershirts with the words "A team like that" printed on the chest ready to go for every player and the words painted above the door to the dressing room as the last thing players see as they head onto the ice. This should become this teams' rallying point all season.
  9. Brind'Amour was nicknamed Rod the Bod. If Vasily develops into a player like him, I shall call him Pod the Bod!
  10. I'm starting to love this kid more and more. Everything you want in a player. Goods skater, excellent hockey IQ, always moving, goes to the dirty areas, great shot...on and on. But what constantly impresses me when I see video of him, whichever league he's playing in, he just seems to be the hardest worker on the ice. He's like a hungry dog, and opposition players with the puck are wearing milk-bone underwear.
  11. And with that the slumlord let's the cat out of the bag. What a dufus.
  12. Would rather keep Goldy. Ho Sang has been a headcase everywhere he's been.
  13. Francesco on line 3, wanting to know why he's paying a GM, Assistant GM, Scouting and Coaching staffs when he could simply pay just you instead.
  14. Love Gaud channeling his inner Superman!!  Welcome to The Show Gaud!!!

      One would think he's earned a spot. It would be really hard to pass on Gaud just to keep lazy guys like Goldy and Schaller from waivers. A contract shouldn't mean a roster spot.

      @Ossi Vaananen Couldn't agree more. Time to cut ties with the dead weight. JB has done it before, let us hope he does so again!

      Will JB put his money (Aquilini's) where his mouth is?  I'm really hoping the message is clear that this team is about winning (that's what the signing of Myers, and Ferland, and Benn, and the trade for Miller are about)  Management has said we are in the win now mode.  It's obvious that Gaud will help the team achieve that goal.  

  15. Did this really need another thread?? I mean, both parties aren't totally happy and didn't get what they wanted. So it's a fair deal no?
  16. Uuummmmm... Sedin's linemate (insert name here). Trent Klatt, Byron Bitz, Anson Carter....
  17. Jake always talks a good game, but I've always had the impression he's just saying what he believes people want to hear. He's kinda flakey that way. Been like this since junior. I thought he started making strides with his game last season, but man that inconsistency will end up being his ticket to the minors. It's frustrating as a fan to always hear him say the right things, yet his actions always betray him. Can only imagine how frustrated the coaching staff is, especially with the hands on babying he gets throughout the season and offseason.
  18. I also still can’t believe it’s not butter.
