  1. I wonder what an all star team of Canucks draft busts would look like.

      I recall names being Jason Herter and Dan Woodley , maybe for food reason ? as I don't remember them

  2. is tocchet still wanting allvin to add a gritty winger thats hard to play against.?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      I think Allvin is wanting that too, at the right price and term (as every team would)B)

      Hmmm, so the cow jumping over the moon was based on fact and not just a nursery rhyme?

      You came into the world crying those same words Alf

  5. Alf feels sorry for the Habs. The history of the Gorton/Hughes duo for drafting in round one is bad. Every pick is a bustaroo! Lafreniere, Anderson, Kravtsov, Chytl, and now Slafkoski and Reinbacher. Are these two guys the worst at the draft ever?

  6. canucks have 11 wingers to choose from. there is only room for 8 or 9. i believe they still want to add a gritty winger or two.

    who are the odd ones out?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Hopefully they can trade either Boeser, Garland or Pearson if they can, but they can’t, so the answer is to trade Beauvillier. Which is too bad it’s not that the Canucks couldn’t use Beauvillier’s talents. It’s just that there’s only so much ice-time to go around, and  the long term needs as much attention as much as short-term (why I didn't like the Oel/Garland acquisition)

  7. i believe that canucks and blackhawks will exchange picks 11 and 19. will the canucks use those picks or trade them along with some bloated contracts to begin the retool?

    i would like to see at least 2 big contracts gone. these moves will hurt in the short term.

      The problem I think now Pavel is that we spent draft capital up when EP and Hughes were younger, instead of saving those assets to either put those ELC to use on our team now or use as leverage to build around our core at this stage, and now we are handcuffed to surround them with much better players,

      They are at the age we have to contend (we may have missed the window with our core, with affording them , or them wanting to stay) They have some tough decisions, either stick with the core and hope for lightening in a bottle with good hockey trades and chemistry or sell core to get very good returns and try to build properly?

      Doubtful that being at the bottom for almost a decade, that the owner, management, fans have a stomach for that though

  8. Hot Take: Instead of hating on Vegas and Seattle for getting favourable entry draft conditions that have allowed them to be competitive from Day 1 blame the NHL for handcuffing  previous expansion teams.

     

    That said, it'll be a cold day in Hell before I ever cheer for Vegas. 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      I'm thinking that

       

      They just constructed teams

      while 

      We just assembled players

       

      We have had way more higher top draft picks in EVERY round (especially last 10 yrs) that if we constructed it better and had more top picks in other rounds develop, we should be much better ourselves

  9. End of the Auston Matthews saga in Toronto?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      What great return will they get for him though? as he will be a UFA to that team as well. 

      If TML cannot sign him before July1 st, they will be screwed

  10. Wow what a wild playoffs Leafs advance, Oilers advance, Panthers beat the Bruins, Seattle Eliminate the defending cup champions Colorado. Only the Rangers and Devils remaining to finish their series.

    1. Ballisticsports.

      It is Wild (without the Wild) and may get wilder if a Canadian Team actually wins a cup

  11. Demko trade rumors? I hope not!

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Probably media speculation only

      I was  against it before, but now with his injury and struggling before it, for the right return i would be accepting of one

  12. Bob McKenzies's Mid-Season Draft Rankings.

    I think there's a lot of gems in this draft. Not just 1st overall.

      I can just see CDC reaction if we draft later and take  Leo Carlsson people will say bad things about him and PA taking him

       

      So many scouts say no matter what you always take the best player, (you take the position of need if they are evenly matched)

       

      I wonder if we get Bedard if the people who mention another small player and should have taken ......

  13. JR said because he tells the truth, he won't speak again but letPA and RT do the talking. is he saying they aren't as honest?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Or he can't bite his tongue and keep quiet

      When someone tells him to tell No One, he then goes and tells people until it is no longer a secret, then says it's not his fault that the people he tells can't keep it a secret

  14. I feel like the Canucks organization owes Bruce an apology - let the guy finish out the year 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      I like Bruce and am divided

      If they don't want him then let him go (I understand they didn't hire him and may not like the way they see things, maybe too relaxed in the room after losing)

       

      Maybe they want to bring a new guy in as for the team not to struggle with new changes at the beginning of the next season (like the last 2 years have)

      I prefer to keep Bruce and let the Canucks (free fall if they are going too) and expose the character of players as they finish off the year

  15. I miss the AV era teams 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      We definitely had the team to win that year

      We had it all that year (except the cup)

      We just ran out of players, either injured or not playing, bad injuries or suspended We became shorthanded and handicapped from the team we were all year

      Going to be darn hard just to get to that position to be favourites again:(

  16. Happy New Year Goalie13 :)

     

    First time i checked standings

    I think you may have made a mistake in my score?

     

    Start of the Jets game i had 29 pts

     

    On page 3,  I predicted 4-3 Jets - 2 pts

    Page 3,       I predicted 4-3 Flames - 2 pts

     

    29 + 4  is 33 points total i believe I should have

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Yes sorry my mistake- I gave myself 2 pts for a win like a team :rolleyes:

  17. Bedard is an absolutely absurd talent 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      As good as he is, Connor is not running outrageous over his peers or 2nd player in his Jr League Standings as Lemieux or Gretzky did

      Their are some good young players coming into their prime but i don't see him tying a scoring title  like 18 yr old Gretzky who did it in 1 less game

      He is dominating  right now among his peers in 3 games so far though ::D

       

      Everyone loves our juniors up until they get in the NHL and play for other teams

      I don't root for them when they become stars on other teams in the NHL, but as a fan I admire what they can do and make the NHL a spectator sport with highlight reel plays

      Sadly when Bedard is not with the Canucks he will be under appreciated and criticized here soon

  18. Hard to accept a great poster like @JM_got banned.  Sure hope he’s allowed back.  Doesn’t seem right he’s gone and other teams’ fans can come post here.  

  19. Where all the haters at?? Canucks 1 point out of a wild card

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Would that make JR a hater though from his comments when he almost sang Bruce there it is (while pointing at)

  22. With injuries up front this is the perfect opportunity to sign Canucks legend Loui Eriksson 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      I have no idea why we signed him the 1st time and outbid every team for him?

      Did they believe they were going to do damage in the playoffs with him?

      Even if he played better, with the line up  we were still weak and was not the time to outbid
