      They don’t even try to hide their Leafs bias anymore that’s how embarrassing it’s gotten.

      I swear, these guys and that other crappy blog troll CDC for ideas. I think I'm going to do the same, and give the ad money to Canucks Place.

      Some of the media has done good work and then there are some that should just go work for FOX NEWS,because they are terrible and say the most ridiculous things to get people to notice them like really young kids.

      I noticed it once when I had White Spot for take out, the straw and texture when you sucked threw it felt weird, almost like when a chalk board gives you goosebumps when you scratch it with your nails, same kind of feeling when drinking these straws I find.

      Who cares about a friggin’ straw.  That poor Subway bear (that could open doors, which is kind of cool) got murdered for being too smart.  We are friggin’ murdering animals, but we worry about plastic straws destroying the planet?  Our PC society needs to get their collective heads screwed on straight.  

      You know what?  We (people) are #$&*&$*$.

  4. Canucks fans crying about Benning screwing our cap space don’t look at the fact the NHL took away $4.5 million with Luongo’s recapture penalty and not knowing what the salary cap would be at

      Re Hossa... the team doctors would have documented it as it is a college requirement for physicians. Whether or not the NHL would have jumped through the legal hoops to get access to those records is another story.

      Do you think Sutter or Eriksson would be willing to move to Philly?

      There is just never enough money for these types of people and of course no living wages for the employees,

  9. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if we want to re-sign Markstrom and he wants to stay here, for the expansion draft couldn’t we sign him to a one year deal next summer so that his contract would expire before the expansion draft, protect Demko, and expose an AHL/3rd string goalie?

      Seattle would have to be pretty confident of re-signing Marky, and they won't be able to talk to him. 

       

      We have a year to wait and see at least. 

    3. Art Vandelay

      Art Vandelay

      Actually, there is a small period (2 ish days) between when the Protection lists are submitted and the draft, where they can talk to UFA’s. Engelland was signed when he was drafted. 

    4. JM_

      JM_

      thanks Art, didn't know that.

       

      Having Seattle overpaying for Marky in his 30s might not be the worst outcome for us.

  12. We should be able to make the playoffs this year, but next couple years after are when the fun will really start, once Podkolzin, Höglander, Woo, Madden, Juolevi etc., are added to the team. 

  13. For those who have seen The Lion King, the lion cub Rafiki shows off at the end is Kiara right? There’s been some confusion as to whether it’s her or Kion.

  14. You know it’s a long boring summer when leafs fans troll a private Canucks group on Facebook. 

  15. I’m wondering, after moving out Sutter, Eriksson, Tanev etc., would it be possible to let Gaudette grow in Utica this year and trade for a more reliable 3C with 1-2 years left on his contract?

      Trading Sutter and then making a trade for a 3C with 1-2 years left seems a bit redundant to me.

      Was Avatar re-released though?

       

      And really what does it matter.  At some point, the "record" will be broken by another film (probably another MCU one).  If for no other reason, ticket prices will be higher in the future.

      No. But Endgame still beat Avatar in less time.

      Avatar was re-released actually, but not to beat a record as it'd already dethroned Titanic. 

       

      If not for Avatar's re-release Endgame would have likely have passed it before their own re-release.

      They have Lundqvist for now and Georgiev and Shestyorkin coming up. They’re fine for goaltending. As for their cap space if they move Namestnikov and Staal they’ll be fine. 

    3. 48MPHSlapShot

      48MPHSlapShot

      "Rebuilding the right way". Any time that phrase is brought up it annoys the crap out of me. No doubt they're in a good place now, but it's largely by virtue of the fact that A) they city they play in just happens to be the most desirable place in the entire NHL, and B] The had got lucky in the lottery. I wonder how their rebuild would look if they hadn't had lottery luck and they played in Regina instead of New York.

      just like canucks can move eriksson and sutter and be fine?

      not every good prospect makes it to NHL btw

  19. The emotions that are gonna hit during the Circle of Life tonight omg

  20. Getting either Cogliano or Comeau would be amazing. Both might be past their prime but would still be more valuable than Eriksson.

      with Hanzal on LTIR they can easily take Loui's contract for C&C. Man that would certainly be a nice way out of this situation for us. Maybe Hanzal coming back our way would be part of the deal as well.

      Loui is going to Utica or retiring.  No chance Dallas wants him.  The current Loui is :sick:

      @Violator How do you figure that? The amount of resources the US Government could throw at protecting the base from a raid far exceeds the abilities of a raid staged online. First of all. People talk tough online. Half of those people aren’t actually showing up (and that’s being generous), and the ones that do I doubt will be organized enough to get past the base defences. Second of all. This is a country where the police and military don’t pull any punches. They aren’t going to let people raid a secure military installation. They will subdue and arrest most and those that resist will be shot. You are raiding a military base as a civilian. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

      Gillis has fans?  He was gifted that team and drove it like someone who stole it.  The left it on the side of the road out of gas, blown engine and 4 bald tires.  There was a spare in the trunk but it had no air.  Shooting Star.

    3. 6string

      6string

      Not a single club interviewed him since his departure for two reasons. One they knew he had mostly inherited a great team and he failed to add the parts to win.  Number two he was a former agent who screwed over many clubs and was likely blackballed....That team was so damn good and close it should have at least made two appearances to the finals but we had the wrong guy!

    4. Pizza

      Gillis inherited Luongo, the Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Edler, Ohlund, Salo, etc. Basically he inherited most of the core that would lead us to the Cup finals. Obviously he surrounded them with the right players, so he should get some credit. But people need to stop blaming Benning for Gillis' mistakes with those NMCs. You can also blame the NHL for allowing such big and long protected salaries to be handed out at the time. You shouldn't blame Benning for picking up the pieces and turning this organization into producing top young talent every year. It's really sad that some fans can't see how valuable Jim Benning really is.
