  1. Do you remember Gino against the Blues? One of my favourite moments as a Canucks fan. All Anderson could do was run away
  2. Yawn.... Same old same old. Do you think the Canucks have played better the last 5-6 games or are they playing at the same level as the beginning of the season? You gotta find positives and build on it. I would admittedly be worried if they still couldn't string 2 passes together. They've actually carried the play recently. Time is running out on this season but I do like what I'm seeing from this team and we have a bright future. Carrying the play and having no puck luck in a shortened season is different from a macro view of the stats and saying we lost 8 out of 10.
  3. Woah, I think it's too early to count them out. 2 out of Oilers Jets flames and Canucks will make it. I think we are the best team out of those 4. We've outplayed our opponents starting from even the loss to the Leafs. I think if we keep up our play, we'll squeak in
  4. I'd say he's one of the toughest guys on our team? I honestly don't get the hate from so many here...
  5. Myers is 10 years removed from winning the Calder. I think if Seattle takes him, he ends up being a better version of Englland on the Knights
  6. Great post. I'm a huge fan of Myers. After watching our guys get manhandled by the Bruins in 2011,it was refreshing to see him last playoffs against the Blues. The only way they slowed him down was running him from behind. I felt like the calls on him weren't like other playoffs where the whistle went away. It was more ticky tac calls. I for one would love to have Myers back.
  7. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Is this perhaps why we've been playing Chatfield so much? So we can protect myers, Schmidt and Juolevi?
  8. Its crazy that we drafted him on organizational need but it took a while to pan out so we hit a homerun in Hughes and now OJ had emerged
  9. Myers had a solid game as most of our guys tonight. Serious question. Which 3 dmen do we protect in the entry draft and who is exempt?
  10. I can't believe he's this good. I was concerned about his size. Didn't realize how strong and quick he is when hounding the puck. He's smart and quick and takes the right angles on puck pursuit which combined with his edge work more than makes up for size.
  11. I thought we deserved better tonight. Glad to see the team play with some fight. Bo needs to pick it up
  12. I actually think the Canucks choice to retool instead of rebuild could have put them in a much worse situation than now. The fact that we got the best player in the draft in Hughes and Pettersson without completely tanking is as if we tanked and got the first overall picks. So in that sense we are quite fortunate that our retool looked more like a rebuild in terms of results
  13. Well yesterday was lost with 2 shifts from our bottom 2 lines matched up against their top lines. Canucks controlled the play for the first 2 periods but I wonder how much of it was the Leafs not really skating hard. Once the Leafs started skating, Canucks back end couldn't handle the pressure. Schmidt has come from a solid team to this tire fire with him being one of the problems. I wonder what his take is and why things are going so poorly and what difference he is seeing between Vegas and Canucks
  14. We stopped hitting in the 2nd half of the game. Why? Miller came out flying tonight ready to go. Every guy was making their hits. That kind of pressure is what slows down teams like Toronto. Then somewhere along the way, I started seeing our guys take the easy path and start turning before hits.
  15. As much as I dont want to give up on Jake, I would do a Jake for Jake trade
  16. LOL how did we shortcut a rebuild? Have you not seen the players we drafted the past 5 years? I initially thought we were short cutting a rebuild when we signed all the vets but who would we have dressed if not them?
  17. Hughes was a Calder finalist Edler is a solid dman (top 4) Schmidt was supposed to be a top 2 Myers is a top 4-5 dman Hamonic should easily be a 3rd pairing dman Juolevi and Chatfield look good and we have Rathbone in the mix. The players are underperforming so. Why are we blaming JB? Coming into this season, I was excited because I thought our defense was upgraded from last year.
  18. As cold as it seems to the aqualini family, I only care about cap space as that's what effects overall team product and we have amazing owners that spend to the cap. In support, I will continue buying Canucks merchandise
  19. He's not worth 3m... One could argue, is he worth 4.5 to 5... He's the least of our contract problems when we have Baerstchi, Luongo and Eriksson, Ferland being paid to not play. At least Ferland has ltir
  20. That's what I used to say and it's in fact true. He's handcuffed himself and missed out on Toffoli. But that's it. I wouldn't have re-signed tanev or markstrom to those terms. You think Tony Stecher would fix our problems right now? The problem of capspace has been exposed because our youth got so good so fast. My guess was that Benning was expecting our young guys to peak as the vet contacts were expiring. Sounds like a double edge sword...
  21. LOL I'm a pretty big fan. I was pissed at the Erikson signing, and some of the vets like Sutter, Rousel, Beagle but he's hit home runs at the draft and when you look at the big picture, we have a tremendously talented young core, all the garbage contracts are expiring in 1-2 years and will have tons of cap space I think in 2 years, we'll be a contender. Did you expect us to win the cup this season?
  22. Myers was the only one with pushback against the Blues on defence. To me, he showed his value last playoffs
