  1. Miller-EP-Ferland Pearson-Bo-Boeser virtanen-gaudette-Toffoli Motte-Sutter-Beagle I’d like to see them spread out the scoring Minny has a deep defence. EP+Miller line you can plug anyone in there and they’ll do well. Dropping toffoli to line 3 gives us a legit scoring threat and makes gaudette and virt more dangerous.
  2. Just recently brought myself to rewatch the first 2 periods of that game. The Canucks with half their lineup put up a helluva fight. We had our chances, Burrows had a glorious chance with Thomas down and out but they had a 6'9 Giant playing goalie. That goal would've tied the game at 1 with all the momentum going to the Canucks. Boston got all the lucky bounces. Marchand's wraparound goal. Bergeron's 3-0 goal. It was a lot closer than it looked.
  3. Probably unpopular opinion but i'd nominate Gudbranson. He didn't fight as much as a Canuck but when he did he never lost. Too bad he mostly scrapped to protect himself and not in response to hits on teammates. Couple memorable ones. Tom Wilson was looking for a fight went for a big hit on Guddy but just bounced off of him. Then starts a fight after the whistle and gets wasted by Guddy. Broke Hamonic's face after a laying out Dube with a huge hit. The Matt Martin incident.
  4. Never mind tp. Why the hell are ppl hoarding Nintendo switches now
  5. How about Olaf Kolzig. Led the Capitals to the finals in 97-98 Won a Vezina in 2000
  6. Voting Bertuzzi Nominating Alex Mogilny
  7. The Sedins need a successful PP to feast. They were most effective in the SJ series where our PP looked dominant.
  8. It's nice to have a free agent choose Vancouver as a preferred destination. Usually doesn't happen unless they grew up here. We can thank our Swedish legends Gradin, Naslund, Ohlund and the Sedins for this.
  9. That's what i was thinking too but i think there's more to it. Where was the team when Boeser got took a dirty hit from Tierney during a pre season game? Perhaps they were practicing their composure for the regular season? It's baffling to me.
  10. Cannot agree more. Reminds me of Toffoli's first game with us when he was sticking up for EP. No other Canucks were even in the vicinity to help him. Sometimes Beagle would stir things up in front of the net, again he's on his own the rest of the guys are skating back to the bench. It's probably one of the reasons why Roussel has been a kitten this year.
  11. We knew it was going to happen. Look at the preseason. Brock takes a cheap shot from Tierney and everyone turns a blind eye. Your young star had a serious back injury and you let him get hit like that with no response. You don't think our division rivals noticed? This has to end.
  12. The Big Bad Bruins are a thing of the past. The most intimidating thing about them is their PP.
  13. Wouldn’t count on it. This team is softer than alize with a chaser.
  14. Kinda seems like every physical player that ends up on our roster recently gets neutered. Kassian, Gudbranson, Virtanen, Ferland (small sample size haven't seen enough of him)
  15. Bruins lost more home games than we have 11 vs 8. They're just good at getting those loser points.
  16. Marky!!! Nice to have a goalie steal us some games. Also F*ck Messier!!! F*ck New York
  17. "Hughes is feasting on the league’s top power-play unit. One that draws the most penalties in the league as well, so the opportunities should continue to come along. The 2018 seventh-overall pick’s 14 PPPs trail only Victor Hedman’s 15 for blueliners. His personal and even-strength shooting percentage is in line. His IPP remains stable. He’s a 20-year-old rookie defender on pace for 70-points. This is who is today and he’s getting better with each passing match. Meanwhile, Makar, who is a year older, is clicking at a nearly 14 percent conversion rate. He’s seeing more starts in the offensive zone than Hughes, yet isn’t driving play as well at even-strength (48.55 CF% compared to 55.32%). The Avs boast just as lethal a power-play unit – especially with Mikko Rantanen and Gabe Landeskog back in action. So Makar’s production on the man-advantage will be safe (and massive) but his 5v5 rates are due for a very real regression. If you’re trying to trade for either of these players, go for the Canuck. His price tag will likely be a bit cheaper, and his metrics say he’ll soon pass Makar in the race for Rookie of the Year." - CAM ROBINSON GO QUINN BRING HOME THE CALDER
  18. One thing that always stood out to me about Burr was the fact that he always put the team first. There were so many great memories but there's one interview i'll always remember. When he was asked about re-signing way under market value. He replied "I want to bring the Stanley Cup to Vancouver" LOVE YOU BURR well deserved ROH and forever a Canuck.
  19. Canucks are now the top team in the NHL in terms of goal diff at +15
  20. I do not agree with McCann At the time he was drafted McCann was ranked in the middle of the first round by most scouting services and as high as 12 he "fell" to us at 24. You must've had a crystal ball at the time if you thought Pastrnak was going to be a better prospect
