  1. Is anyone else surprised JR and Allvin haven't done anything yet and continue to move ahead with Benning's roster?

      @Pears after that initial boudreau bump, they've only won consecutive games once in 16 games. it's been back to the same w-l-w-l issue. you can keep the rose coloured glasses on if you want, but they need to win 2/3 games the rest of the way.

  2. Sekeres reporting that high level Canucks meetings including all upper management, coaching and possibly Aqua Man are occurring today and tomorrow.

     

    Should be interesting.

      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.

      @drummer4nowthe anti-vax argument is purely from fear and not data. the problem with the "long term effects unknown" or "there are complications with the vaccine" arguments isn't that they're invalid - because they are true. the problem is that every study done so far has shown that the short term complications are much more rampant from getting the virus itself than the vaccine (i.e. blood clots). similarly for long term effects unknown, how do you weigh the unknown long term effects of a virus versus the vaccine that's been studied extensively to fight it? I just don't understand the anti-vax position whatsoever.

    Dhaliwal: I've been told by 2 sources to monitor Vancouver looking into Schmidt.

      That's not an oh no. That's a legitimate top pairing defenseman. Probably one of the 30 best in the whole league.

  8. i only see canucks winning 2 of the last 8 games. at least on paper. LA and ANA. they will really be in tough with the others. 

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      Probably because he's not wrong. They effectively would have to win 8 of the remaining 9 games.

  10. Do people still like the Beagle signing?

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      Ha. Guy is tunnel visioned and has three goals this year. I remember how much the fanbase would cry about Gaunce only scoring a few goals even though his advanced stats indicated he was a positive contributor despite heavy defensive zone starts. Also, for those that think Beagle is an excellent PKer, you should look at his advanced stats in shorthanded situations the past two years. Statistically, he is below average.

  11. JB better offer sheet Kasperi Kapenen. He's the winger Petey needs.

    Up to 4.059 mil a second round pick

    Up to 6.088 mil a first and a third. - Trade Sutter, Goldy and Prospect for a team likely to have a late first an get that extra first rounder - so we can bid up if needed and not give up our first

    Leafs probably won't even be able to afford 4 mil for him and he's going to get 25 goals minimum this year. They are screwed.

  12. Holy Crap!!  I just won 3 tickets to see US play Finland on the 31st.. I never win anything, thank you Universe!!

  13. Jeez. TSN is comparing Morgan Rielly to Bobby Orr after 5 games. Toronto Sports Network is truly pathetic. 

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      Toronto media has been insufferable, specifically for the last two weeks. 

       

      But this isn't bad. It was in the context of a statistic and I've seen a ton of quinn hughes = orr stuff lol

  14. No excuse for Jake Virtanen to not get at least 20 goals and 20 assists this season. 

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      @Where's Wellwood baertschi has paced over 40 points the past two seasons.

       

      And virtanen always had a ceiling of Chris Kreider and a floor of Raffi Torres. He has only improved his defensive effort since he was drafted four years ago. It would take a miracle for him to become a 20-20 guy. And he definitely wont do it being deployed as a bottom six forward playing with centers who have limited playmaking skills in Beagle and Sutter.

  15. watching a program on hitler. he fired or killed anyone who voiced a different strategy and hired unknown yes men to take their places. does this sound like anyone you know?

  16. Some idiots on HFboards predicting Boeser won't even hit 50 points xD

     

    Also, that one pleb that always rides Pettersson saying he won't even make the team full time :lol:

     

    I sometimes wonder how these people remember to breathe.

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      HFboards was more positive than CDC with the Pettersson pick, if you go read the draft threads.

  17. IMO, there's only one surefire way to prove or disprove the effectiveness of prayer:

     

    If prayer worked, the Canucks would have won the draft lottery by now.

  18. Am I the only person who's not a big fan of Guddy? I don't feel like he's demonstrated toughness or leadership, and think he's a subpar dman.

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      He either plays physical and gets beat on coverages or plays solid positional defense and is soft as a blanket. 

       

      Can't do both at the same time.

  19. Benning sucks

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      sorry according to Benning we were supposed to be contenders by season 4

       

      Not trolling, just fact

  20. Anyone got a link to the Willie D press..Kinda wanna watch it on my own and form my own opinion.

  21. Love how Linden talks about knowing this fanbase is knowledgeable and then says that their plan has been the same for three years. They have flip flopped and got things wrong and think that no one can see through it

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      Oh really? He isn't a BS artist? "We're going to continue to build this team to be a playoff contender every year" - Linden after we qualified for the playoffs in 2015. Benning after we were eliminated last season - "REALISTICALLY, if you're asking me when the day be that we can compete with the best teams in the league. This is year 2, and by our fourth or fifth year I hope we'll be there with the elite teams in the league"

       

      Okay so where are we? 28th and 29th last finishes with trades that brought in players in their prime or young players just entering it to try and quickly retool to be competitive quickly while failing to trade players at the deadline last year 

       

      Keep drinking that good stuff

  22. Lol and smh at the people at CDC who prematurely worried that Brock will not sign with the Canucks and instead go the Jimmy Vesey way. Talk about needless stress!

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      Thats my point vinny. I wasn't worried about boeser because he didn't go back for his 4th year.

      I was never worried about brock boeser signing, I was just saying it's understandable TO worry.

       

      And I never said it was a probability, but rather a possibility.

       

      Maybe I will do the research on college draftees who play their 4th year and see what percentage stay vs go.

      not sure why you're saying smh since it's a very realistic possibility with any college prospects.

  25. Car people: approx how long should your windshield washer fluid last?  Don't see any leaks but had to refill a whole can after about 2-3 weeks.

    1. Tom Sestito

      Tom Sestito

      It's totally dependent on use. 

       

      Like if I was to drive straight to calgary in the winter, I'd be using like 4 of those jugs in one trip with all the snow and $&!# you pick up.
