I didn't even mention our abundance of early 20s studs... Bo and Brock are both stars in their own right... we guy Hockey Gaud and Zack coming in at 23 years old... I could go on for days...

Samuelsson and Raymond before his injury weren't stars but were productive.

I’ll always have the belief that losing Samuelsson was the difference in us winning or losing that year

Yessssss!

I don't think @:D comes around here much anymore.

so true...garbage show that just pulls you in. 

More like cringe worthy.

Outer Banks is another garbage show that pulls you in.  Mediocre acting at best, the writing isn't much better.  Easy to follow, makes it pretty good for the night shift.

why is that plane flying so low, ain’t he got no learnin?

Where'd my feet go?

And why is that wall yelling at me?

Can’t accept the fact he’s hot trash now

Ah, he's right on this one though.  

Perhaps, but there are a lot of people who see things that way

It's a time for sober reflection.

The 7 or 8 decades preceding this sh*tshow, were a debt-fueled exploitation(mostly by a privileged elite, in OECD nations). Producing a massive, illusory bubble, we all thought/prayed/hoped was a real economy.

In 2008 this harsh reality could have been realized, just as easily. We managed to "kick the can down the road" one last time. Ran outa' road.

8 decades ago brings us to 1940, the 2nd year of WW2. Fuel was important for the war effort but in no way was the world at the point of oil dependency on an economic scale. I think the real beginnings can be traced to the 'fuel shortages' of the 70's, though oil was plentiful at that time. Just my opinion from personal memory, no research done. 

I’d rather see Calgary get screwed

at 73 games every team plays the same number except either Boston plays 72 or Detroit plays 74, ( I would vote for Detroit playing the extra game, their fans deserve something) no one is catching them anyway. and every team gets at least a 2 game warm up before the playoffs. Could finish the season in 8 or 9 days. It would be like a preseason/playoff//warm up tournament before the playoffs. Every team within reach of the playoff would be playing meaningful games, at least until they are eliminated. Except Boston who cannot be caught, but with 3 games against Detroit, Detroit would be playing not to get annihilated, so they would have to put up a fight, haha

Yeah I honestly wouldn’t doubt it

I mean, he may have just killed himself over it  

TMZ to me is like FOX NEWS for celebrity gossip and stupid reporting

That’s why I’ve been trying to spend more time on here over the last few months. 

Hit me with the thread. I'd love to go at it with these people. 

Even if you hated The Trade at the time and STILL hate it, it really is time to move on. There are spouses who have forgiven their cheating partners in less time then this. 

I had tickets to this game. 

lol  ya such a good career 328 games lol  future captain righttt  that was a massive overhype and gillis sent him packing as fast as possible wander why 

You’ve lost this argument why are you still going on about it?

right 

The trouble is Pears that you have contracts that expire on June 30th, that had a particular value, and a particular duration. (aka 3 years @ $1,000,000 ELC). Now this contract is extended for 1 year, but during that 1 year, he is has a career ending injury. How is the value he is established, if not by the market place for that type of player, who gets paid a certain salary.

Not to mention you arbitrarily are dictating his value, and forcing him to take it. (even if for 2 months)

I do not see how that works in a free market society.

Moot, no league is resuming on June 30th.  I miss sports as much as the next person but I feel like I am the only one watching the news.  How on earth is any sport going to be able to resume in just 3 months?  And quite frankly I don't even want to watch hockey in the Summer time, and I cannot be the only person that feels that way.  

According to 31 Thoughts, they would just push the dates back.  Apparently the NHL and the PA have been working very closely together on various scenarios that would see the season concluded in some manner.  Neither side benefits from the huge loss of revenue.  The league has gone as far as asking the teams for available venue dates through August.

@goalie13 he's wrong. They had to win in regulation not overtime. 

@peaches5  It seemed like a plausible explanation when I saw it.  I was too tired to research the real answer.  Besides, I try to not get too hung up on mid-season details like that.  It's only the final standings that matter.

Petey may have something to say about that 

i hope petey steps up his game

i'm a bit concerned about his 2nd half drop offs

he is very young

physically still maturing

very talented

just not a full season player yet

@coastal.view That’s valid. However he is also being played harder from opposing teams than he is used to. It is going to take a little while to adjust/mature. 

I wish we could send LE packing like that

I still wanna know where mine landed... these fairways are plug-city right now

I call it splatter ball and it is good practise for the real golf.

Nothing I like more than playing golf here and sending pictures back east to people dealing with snow up to their A$$ES,

LET THE ENVY FLOW.

they gave you life, they get to netflix how they want. 

"netflix how they want" 

Did you get the feeling it might be time to move out?

They may be trying to tell you something...

Beagle is the bestest in the league on faceoffs.  He wins possession on the PK and 5 on 5 D zone draws.  He plays a heavy, and hard to play against game.  Sutter is soft, slow, and right up there with Loui as craperolla.  

me likey. Beagle is great, don't know why some people don't see what he brings. 

If we can move Sutter at the draft as some pundits think that would be great. 

Sutter, Loui, and Baer have to be off our cap this summer.  

Lol....cap space.

@J-23 Caused him to delete his account yikes

He really getting trolled hard right now, responded to like 8 tweets saying he didn’t say that lol.

Seriously, what the hell

Arizona won too 

Our luck

Only team that was blowing yesterday afternoon was us.  Pretty much most of the roster played like they had a hangover.

Yes and no 

Kind of like Michael Jackson was?  Black to white? 

Or white, but feat Slash

What a yr he's having. Hope they can get him for 5 x 5.5

Dumba isn't worth that package. Stecher and Demko are more valuable than Dumba is combined and trying to add Madden and a 2nd just doesn't benefit the Canucks. Once the Canucks hand out fat contracts to Hughes and Petterson, having guys on ELC's like Madden and having "cheaper" but very talented players like Stecher and Demko on the roster is going to be WAY more important than getting Dumba. I do like Dumba but I wouldn't go for him. Besides, I have a feeling a team like the Maple Leafs will offer way more to get him because they're gonna be desperate next year when Ceci and Barrie leave in free agency. PASS for me.

Don’t really need Dumbo.  Demko gets moved at the 2020 draft to recoup the first we give to TBay for Miller. 

I hope better than Cory. He faded out pretty quick. 

You can not win in this league without stellar goaltending and right now we have two gentlemen who are really giving us a chance to win every night.

I for one absolutely love this,since it has been a long haul to get our team back into the thick of things and hopefully make the playoffs,so some of this teams young group can experience the tenacity and determination it takes to win our first STANLEY CUP.

@DADDYROCK We definitely have a couple of things to iron out, but we are so, so close. 

33rd in league scoring is a beautiful new insult.

His shot is still missing something, tho.

brock is fine

i don't really think that is what the issue is

it is brock compared to his team mates

brock has stepped up a little this season in production

and has rounded out his game a bit

other teammates have made bigger production steps

jake, pearson, miller, bo?, leivo

so comparatively brock seems to have slowed a little

his signature wrist shot is also less frequent

that shot really made him stand out

he stands out less
