  1. I've never seen you say a negative thing about Virtanen, BanTsn. You continuously deny the lack of high hockey IQ, when at times he looks like he's a deer in the headlights. Maybe it's because he's "our guy" but other teams fans (no, not just toronto's) point that out as his one clear flaw. The same we look at Draisatl and say he's slow, or Bennett not doing a pushup, or Nylander/Ehlers for being too small, or Ritchie being a fatty. Again, I have always bought the upside, but I think it's a long and rigorous path for him to reach that because he's so raw. I don't like the idea of him being in the NHL next year just based on his physical tools. He needs to understand the cycle game and how to slow it down. I don't think the Carter comparison is that accurate either. I buy into the Evander Kane comparison.
  2. Canucks? Class of the pacific? Hahaha, four top six players and three top four defenseman. Wild card team or third in pacific.

      ^^I still take SJ. The only advantage we have over them is goaltending (which really shined in our 2 games against them) and a better bottom 6.

      I actually think we're on par with SJ.

      And, points are stupid. Again, at the 33 game mark of the past 5 seasons our point total has been like 42/41/45/42/42 so it's not like it actually matters what it is right now.

  3. Am I still a troll for thinking Bieksa is crap?

      No. Bieksa's pretty clearly fallen off a cliff here, and probably needs Hamhuis to make him look at least passable in a top-4 role. Him and Stanton are a quality bottom pairing, but there's no way in hell you're giving Sbisa - Weber top-4 time.

      he is struggling this year....him along with other d-men struggle against tight checking teams...they should hire paul reinhart to teach them how to move the puck faster and to a team mate...he was one of the best i ever saw at that...

      last year edler struggled like juice is this year...

      Give Weber a chance on the top-six for a game lol.

  4. messi pls stop using us as ur way of telling barca to fix their crap it's ???? with my feelings It's weird to think about a move that'd be as huge to their own sport as Gretz getting traded. This is like three Gretzky's moving
  5. confession: project due tmr, gonna do it over the next 3 hours
  6. Now I have to do the project last minute. Why is that whenever snow is projected to come it goes away, but never vice versa?

  8. Virtanen looks like crap, and has in all but one game. Upside is huge but anyone thinking he's going to play for the Nucks next year is out of their mind.

      That game he was very good in was also the most difficult for the team.

    3. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Hard to see anyone not playing on the power play in this one. Put him on the power play and he'd be able to pad the stats for all you number crunchers.

      Meanwhile, Point was demoted off the McDavid line, after a few turnovers and a penalty. So maybe it's he who looked like crap.

      Well

      that escalated quickly.

  11. did bantsn get banned

      And Grabner only produced for one season before fading away again. No big loss.

      Connauton is a lefty.

  14. So Kucherov is 13th in points. God damn Euro style players taking up 12 out of the top 15 places in scoring.

      So tired of that lousy Euro play, Canucks need to move away from sweeedish hockey yo

      Tell me, who actually gives a crap about regular season scoring?

    4. BanTSN

      BanTSN

      Anyone who believes the game is getting softer and 'more euro' is believing in fairy tales. You need skill, yes, but not JUST skill. Kopitar is the kind of euro we should have picked up when we had the chance.

  15. Dal Colle up to 48 pts in 24 games.. still think he becomes the second best forward among those taken in the top 15 behind Reinhart

    1. BanTSN

      Then why no tournament?

      Gauthier is clearly better than McCann

  16. Virtanen's corsi % against slovakia was 85. Clearly better than McDavid (71%)

      Aren't NHL teams using "advanced" stats like corsi now?

      David Booth must have the best corsi of all time lmfao. He shot from anywhere.

  17. Was so ???? mad today, Mourinho's post game sums up my general feels I don't get the Willian hate he gets. He helps facilitate our play style. I don't think Schurrle is better. Maybe on a smaller team, yes. He just doesn't fit well over the full course of 90 minutes. People also love to take a crap on Luis, but Luis is excellent IMO. He comes forward and has good communication with Hazard. Again, more rumors of Salah being loaned to Besiktas. Possibly Moses coming back. I still think that Reus would be a wonderful add, but I think he wants to go to Real. Problem is, there's no space for him. He's not bumping any of James, Ronaldo, Benzema, or Bale no ???? way lol I'd like to see us bring in a central midfielder. One that can slot in as a DM, but really offer us an attacking threat. Selling Ramires for a good amount, bringing in Strootman right out of United hands is my pipe dream outside of Reus. Having a main midfield four of Oscar/Fabregas/Strootman/Matic would be great because we'd be able to use one of them off of the bench, or not miss a beat through injuries. Thank God City blew it btw
  18. Boxing day Chelsea v West Ham
