  1. Imagine letting Tanev walk.

      Tanev was all world against Oilers Saturday, looking better than he ever has and not slowing down, looks energized

  2. VGK has gotten progressively worse each year. They started at the top (SCF) with 109 pts, then the next year 93 pts, then 86, then 82 and so far have 74 this year. They'll probably miss the playoffs for the first time, and could be a bottom feeder in a couple of years. I am a fan of this.

      It was bound to happen with aging players while drafting late and no notable ELC players to insert

       

      p.s.

      Not a fan of there halloween gimicky helmets either

  3. fans have to accept that trades they don't want to happen, need to happen in order that we can take a step forward.

      Remember a James Neal of Pittsburg, who over 3 seasons, only Steven Stamkos and Alexander Ovenchkin were scoring at a better goal-per-game clip? Then at 25 years old he was traded. Can you imagine the uproar had that happened here? (Yet they won their cups after that)

      Sometimes you gamble a guy is having a career year, or decide where and what may make you stronger in the end. With no cap a lot of issues are removed. Every team has tough decisions to make, and now we are one of them. Like high stakes poker, You wanna just win with just more than you started with, or risk to be the best?

  4. We need to seriously consider unretiring Bure's number:

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PutinTeam

     

    His open support of this piece of trash calls his own character into question.

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Bure was a fun and exciting player  to watch and i would be open to not retiring his jersey.

      No need to support Putin (say nothing if intimidated) Much like his support of being a two way team player though

      Yeah he scored lots of goals, but after 700 games and when you're only on for 40 more goals scored for than against you, kinda states the kinda player you were?

  5. In the last 3 years: Miller ranks 8th amongst Centres in Points, 13th based on ppg. Ahead of Point, Tavares, Kopitar.....

     

    1st rd pick, Schneider, and a piece dont seem enough

     

    Especially when he has 2 playoffs in him potentially and at a low cost

  6. Are hockey DJ's really that bad or do people just expect to hear music from 20-30+ years ago? 

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      I agree with what the other posters stated

       

      It is only to energize the building and mood, you wouldn't play classical music or Amazing Grace to do that (The Lions used Krazy George and cheerleaders)

      It use to be only a live organist at Canuck games and was entertaining

      Hopefully the team is that on its own

  7. Leafs and Oilers both need a goalie, and to clear some cap.  Which is better for us?

    Demko for Marner

    or

    Demko for Draisatl

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      The Canucks without Demko would be a very poor version of the Oilers now, and going nowhere without a goalie like Demko

      Build from Goal out

  8. Start the tank?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Tank?

      Remember when some thought with summer signings the cup was coming

      I can't recall how we were to retain people with expiring contracts?

       

      So was this team constructed to be better for this year only and with more let downs after we again would have lost people for nothing (especially if we had made the playoffs and old guard still in place)? Just up and groggy still wondering what the past plan would have been?

  9. i think JR said they aren't trading any of their scorers. now we need new trade proposals.

  10. Watching “The Virginian”.  Now that was good TV!  Those old westerns were just the best.  

  11. Why do we hate the Loser Leafs so much?  We are talking about a history of Horton, Keon, Bond, Bauer, and the Big M.  Sittler and Lanny, Gilmor, and Wendell.  Yet, these Leafs are so easily hated.  Is it “I pull my pants down” that’s hated?  :lol:

  12. Congrats to the NHL for the Blues win! If this was the Leafs with this many players/coaches in Covid protocol, they would have postponed the game, such a joke, Canucks were the way better team tonight again just like last game, very proud of this team given the circumstances

  13. quick someone make a "EP, do we really need him" thread... that'll fix him real good

  14. The NHL really decided the best way to slow us down was to postpone all our games, kill all the momentum we had, and take us right into an absolute gauntlet of a roadtrip

  15. I enjoy how Sportsnet feels it is necessary to clarify that Wednesday Night Hockey is, in fact, on Wednesday.

  16. Anyone else frustrated with bad BC drivers in winter? I just witnessed two near accidents in a span of 1 min….

     

    There should be mandatory training for how to do drive in winter..

      More to blame on Flames and Oilers

  18. If Covid, heat waves, wild fires, or floods didn't get you - not to worry, this year inflation may get you!

  19. Would you feel more helpless defending McDavid or Mario if you were the last man back?  (Wonder if you'd rather get blown by due to 97's breakneck speed or get deked into oblivion with Mario's wingspan and get fended off, knowing that you won't be able to get the puck from 66)

  21. Currently, a .607 point percentage is the playoff line. We're at .484, so we'd need to win about the next 10 games straight to have that point percentage. We're not as close to the playoff line as many are making it out to be.

     

    That said, as Gabby has said many times, it's about being consistent over the long haul. Don't worry about winning 10 straight, worry about winning 2 out of the next 3 games and keeping that going.

      We have also been lucky with no injuries to top players

  22. Can we please cut out the Bruce chants now that he's said he doesn't like them?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      It is silly

      I am glad he dislikes it and we can move on from it hopefully

  23. Do we say "Thank You Jim" on this fine Saturday?

     

    I think so

  24. Guys on radio saying Hamonic got loaned back to Abbotsford just now.  Why?  Creating roster spot for Clague?

    1. Ballisticsports.

      Ballisticsports.

      Maybe pressure to get 2nd vaccination, or stay in Abbotsford more than required?

      Ham has been back more than 3 weeks
