  1. FFS.... almost scared to open the CDC webpage, with this crap going on... Who/what will be the next...
  2. Coming to a theatre near you.... Canucks present...
  3. Have to be honest and say I was happy he got to play a season in the AHL... Didn't really wanted him to be part of this $&!# show. Fully expect him to be on the main team next season... and yes either with Motte or as his replacement...
  4. Have been listening to the players interviews after practice... it clearly shines through, how much confidence has been regained from going 6 and 0.... one other thing shines through as well though.... i've yet to hear s single player throw Green under the bus...even just a bit... it suggests to me at least, that despite reading about how bad it all was in the press, the group was always tight, and they did like to play under Green. Everyone has their shelf life, so letting Green go was the right thing to do, just like Benning, but he doesn't seem to have lost the room....
  5. Should be an advantage having the farm team in Abby. Preferrably leave youngsters in Abby to get the minutes needed. Need these kids to play as much as possible, if they are going to have a realistic chance to become regulars on the main team.
  6. Yep... I think the real test comes now. After the joy/excitement of getting a new coach has passed and they haven't played for a few weeks now, the true test will be if they can pick it up, where they left. After the next 5 games I think we will have a fairer picture of the team. One week at the time was a great call by Boudreau...
  7. You are too nice... I do cheer against Marchand and my biggest highlight was Myers absolutely hammering Keith... have a few more on my list, but those two were the biggest.
  8. Bravo.... at Blackhawks and Sharks to that group and we join forces...
  9. Used to be one of the biggest success stories in times gone by... Proof small teams can excel, although the bigger teams has made it harder and harder... Brian Clough the most under rated manager in British history. Up there with Fergie and Paisley... Still.... your sister is smarter than you .... Supporting Canucks is enough heart ache for me.... And my local team Aberdeen...
  10. Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year to all you wonderful folks on CDC. We may not always agree, but only few places I'd rather spent some time, than on CDC with fellow Canuckleheads... Hope Santa was good to you all. Get us another play off run and my wish comes true. Cheers everyone
  11. Yeah guess you're right to a certain extend... If JR and the new management team think, changing direction means a great chance of a cup, I think we should all support it regardless of how we see it... After all, what's the point of hiring one of the best (hopefully), if we don't follow his ideas... So yes, I'll be behind the management team as well, as hard as it may be to say good bye...
  12. Agree on each point, and this pretty much explains the problem for us Canucks fans... We love our players and are attached to them, but.... unless this wining run continues changes may have to be made, and Dickinson, Chiasson etc won't cut it... I agree, I'm not the guy to make these changes, as I am too invested in these players as well. But as have been shown JR does not not hold back, when it comes to trades, and he has already said, he'd like the team to be bigger (unless my memory serves me wrong)... Rathbone won't fetch much, but could be used to get a bit beefier on the back end... With OEL and QH as the playmakers, we don't need Rathbone (no disrespect), but will find it hard to found room for him.
  13. I was on the fence with QH, as his size concerned me... Thought he'd get creamed and injured all the time, but so far he has shown durability and an ability to avoid getting crushed... As his D has improved A LOT this season, he has become invaluable... We are so lucky getting to see him play every day... Will be interesting if JR is looking at option for QH... ? If he wants a bigger tougher team, he may throw a hook out to see, how much QH could fetch... Both Garland and Hoglander are small, but both plays big and fearless, so that only leaves BB and maybe EP of real trade value, if he wants the team to get bigger... Hopefully not, but you gotta give to get, and JR has never been scared of making trades, so...?
  14. It would be a fabulous top 4 D... or problems sorted with one sweep... Just need a bit of beef in the D core... Its need throughout the line up.
  15. Change Rathbone for some beef, and d looks far better...
  16. If the team is heading for the playoffs, you run with you horses... In it, to win it... But more importantly the message sent to the rest of the team, if you start trading off your players while in the hunt...?
  17. Positive thinking... Thomas (POS he was) was a major reason for Bruins murdering Canucks...
