  1. Is there honestly much of a difference between your typical high school and Canucks twitter in terms of the amount nonstop childish drama, bickering, back and forth nonsense?

  2. Head office coming in clutch and letting us wear tshirts and shorts in the kitchen during this heat wave :towel:

      I'd like to be at head office for the air conditioning. But they won't let us wear shorts. Boooo! 

  3. Benning wants to be aggressive? Throw the kitchen sink at Landeskog and then find a way to get Jones for a decent deal.

      Jones would be a good pickup, but why would we throw a kitchen sink at Landeskog? Seems like a nice enough dude...

  4. I honestly don’t think I’ve seen any Canuck/ex-Canuck more overrated than Stecher and I was a fan during the Mason Raymond days.

      Yeah but Benn's in WPG now and Troy has one year left (and yes, that matters) + they're not really comparables to begin with.

      He works hard, shows a lot of heart, and is super easy to like as a person. That being said, he's a smallish 5-6D and I was fine moving on from him.

      Loved him hear but in all honesty on a contender he really is a 6/7 Dman so it sucks losing the heart and soul of him but in the long run its better

  7. I’m sorry, but if you’re on twitter all day long complaining about how the GM of your favourite hockey team runs it, even going as far as stalking him at a grocery store, you really need to rethink your life priorities. And probably get one as well.

      @Pears those people are annoying but there are also people that are annoying from the other side.  Facebook is the worst place for...  well pretty much anything.  Solution is to stay away from Facebook ;)

      @VancouverHabitant Oh don’t get me wrong I know, they just aren’t as vocal.

      Tom Sestito

      No @VancouverHabitant. I’m absolutely not saying that. I’m saying that the short term complications as a result of getting the virus itself are far more frequent and far more severe than from the vaccine. The complications absolutely do exist - I know someone in my age group (low 20s) who had heart attack like symptoms post vax. 

       

       

  9. Can someone please explain to me why Benning gets all the heat but Green gets a free pass despite having a record similar to Willie Desjardins while he was here?

      silky the to many men penalties andgarbage  play syatems and  playing vets over youth but still losing has everything to do with coaching and not the gm  not to mention never having players ready for the game its basic coaching fundamentals that gree lacks

    3. canuktravella

      canuktravella

      only reason we went 7 games with vegas was demko. the players were  outclassed do to bad coaching  benning even got toffoli for a run last yr but team  got ass handed ifnot for petey and demko

      I don't think anyone can help understand that, it's pretty obvious.

  10. Ok if Gaudette got ran out of town because of his covid situation that’s a new low for this fan base

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Nah. I think Micaela wanted him out of town because she couldn't take the heat for her comments she made about COVID precautions.

       

      "Yeah I'm not gonna follow that", she said. Very very bad.

    2. Curmudgeon

      Curmudgeon

      Gaudette was a player with declining performance, did not become a solid third line centre, was the lightest player on the team at 170 pounds and struggling to maintain it, and will require a new contract nest season, along with guys like Quinn, Petey and Demko, among others. He has actually regressed. If he had put up big numbers and had turned into the centre they hoped he would be, he'd still be here. He didn't, so isn't.

  12. How does someone not get fired. Blowing 2-0 and 3-0 leads back to back, especially in our situation, is unacceptable.

      @NUCKER67  Not a chance.  They aren't interested in player development there (not that Green is great in that area as he tends to lean on vets).  They expect more than results.  One anglo head coach coach got demoted (essentially fired) in the offseason after winning the Stanley Cup as coach!  Tough crowd.  All Green has won as a head coach is a 'participation medal'.

    3. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      Seems I was wrong, we've got a coach fired 

    4. Pears

      Pears

      Yep. If Julien can be fired there’s zero reason Green can’t be for being far worse than him.

      Virt + Eriksson + 2nd for Jack Hughes?

       

      Then trade for a high pick and draft Luke Hughes.

       

      Bam, Hughes triplets. Vancouver dynasty established!

      Just because I'm not a huge Trudeau fan doesn't mean I'm going to vote for a racist piece of garbage who supports barbaric social policies.  Cons need to lose the social conservative garbage if they want to be considered electable by me.  As of now, the only non Trudeau option is the NDP.

      Sounds to me like she has mental health issues to deal with currently..... with that being said just try to be there for this person, they probably need it. Definitely a cross road for you guys. This may go on for a long time. You have a decision to make

      Well, here's the deal.  It's about the compete level.  The work ethic.  The dedication and determination to the sport.

      Sure, he wasn't the biggest guy/threat out there.  But he did not get pushed around...low base of support meant his stance could keep him in the battle.  A big team, pfffft.  The harder they fall.

      Love Stech...wish him well.  He wasn't irreplaceable by any means.  But he had heart and this was his team.

    3. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      He worked hard, he's a BC guy, he loved being a Canuck, and he's easy to root for. No surprise fans got attached. But yeah, as a player he's pretty replaceable. 

       

      That's hockey, rare is the player who never moves on from their team. It's why having the twins their entire careers was so special. It's why I'm hoping Edler wears our colours until he retires, after hitting 1k games. Most teams only have a few players like that. 

       

      You've gotta enjoy players while you have em on your team, because in the world of pro sports it's unlikely they'll be yours forever.

      now hopefully Hamonic, which is a big upgrade not too mention schmidt replacing tanev, i'd say Ds better and juolevi coming in

      No, he is not, and therefore could never be another Shink.

      ^ meant that in the sense of a hyped prospect possibly not quite making it to the big leagues

    4. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      He's more likely to make the team out of camp than he is to not make the NHL at all imo.

  22. BREAKING: Hearing the Flames are signing the Green Men to a lucrative 5 year contract to annoy opposition players in the penalty box. They will now be known as the Red Men.

    1. ForestFalcon

      And then eventually they will evolve into the Red Green Men and tell players to keep their sticks on the ice.

      Really selfish reason:  "I want him on LITR (re: Canucks cap situation)"

      How one should feel:  "Hope he's healthy"

    3. JM_

      JM_

      if he is healthy then it does solve a top 6 issue for us, I do like the idea of Pearson-Bo-Ferkie as a 2nd line, and if Hoglander makes the team Bo-Ferkie is a pretty good line to begin your career on. 

    4. Elias Pettersson

      Elias Pettersson

      Ferland would actually put us over the cap if he were healthy.  We would need to trade Baertschi or Sutter to fit Virtanen and Gaudette under the cap.  Probably be easiest to try and trade Sutter at 50% retained.  

  24. What would we have to give up?

      @luckylager how would that work with the cap though?

    3. luckylager

      luckylager

      Have an assigned practice roster. Cap wise, just treat the practice roster as you would Utica. Any movement between the practice roster and the Canucks is treated like normal waivers and those cap implications.

       

      The bubble will still be a very real necessity in 2 or 3 months... or even a year or more.. whatever.

      Teams will need a bunch of players bubbled to deal with injuries, call ups and quarantine.
