SabreFan1

Hey man- I always enjoyed reading your thoughts on here over the years. To me you've never been a guest or outsider but an equal member as myself or anyone else who's frequented CDC. I hope you still drop in from time to time even if you never return entirely.. gotta put off-topic/canucks talk in its place sometimes and let faces on here know your chest is still beating.

You back yet?

Don't let a few losers ruin a good time. 

Miss ya SabreFan. I even visited the Buffalo site to see if you were there but not much activity there. 

@Odd.I was initially on the Cody Glass bandwagon myself. Am sure glad I'm not the one doing the drafting (my choices would have been: Nylander, Konecny, Tkachuk, Glass, Hughes, Boldy).

@vinny_in_vancouver Your draft choices are pretty good mate! I would have been happy with that. Hindsight being 20/20 I’m glad we got Peter and Hughes but again those are good choices!

@#CanucksNot at the cost of franchise player Petey though. I think that pre-injury Boeser with his laser shot was borderline franchise player. I had Quinn at number 3 so at where he ended up was a no-brainer pick. If PLD and Juolevi were available, from my understanding, both Linden and Benning would have selected PLD so that's too bad.

Also had to miss the 3rd today, due to work.

Gotta say, SF..I've seen a few Sabs tilts recently, & Eichel is creeping into that superstar mold. Kid's impressive, & will be competing any month of the season(plenty of talent fades as whistles disappear)

@SabreFan1 - we should petition jointly the Sabres/Canucks not to make dumb and dangerous plays when they play each other imo. Expansion twins + you being here for so long make me think both teams should be considered in covenant. So mote it be.

@Nuxfanabroad Eichel has been fun to watch.  I've always kept in mind that he left university after only 1 season and that the rest of his development took place the next couple of seasons in the NHL.  He showed superstar potential last season and is slowly becoming one this season.  He'll only get better as time goes on.

I thought this was going to be a recipe!  

alf was getting hungry.

Alf likes eating p.....errr...

@Sabrefan1  Some guys never "grow up".  Some just take longer.  Mogilny ended up fitting up quite well under a Jacques Lemaire system - you better be good at your play without the puck if you're going to see the ice at all with him as coach.  

A shame either him or Bure were always injured during the time both were Canucks.

Mogilny was great.  Problem is, he knew it. 

He didn't like it when he eventually had to lose some ice time with others on the Sabres.  Once he was traded, the Canucks made him aware that it was the same everywhere.  However he got to play with Bure so he was happier than a pig in poop regardless.

By the time Vancouver traded him, his skills were ever so slowly declining and he was getting more prone to injuries so he no longer could get upset about his playing time especially the year he took home a Cup with New Jersey.

There was a TSN original a few years ago; fascinating story.  Hell of a player, especially with LaFontaine.  Too bad the reunion with Bure never really clicked.

@Ghostsof1915 The defence isn't the issue.  A suddenly sputtering offence combined with inconsistent goaltending has them on a 3 game losing streak.

I kept predicting the goaltending problem, but the sputtering offence is a bit of a surprise since the Sabres up until recently have had production from all of their lines this season.

ok

so if they crater again this season

can we change their handle to "sliders"

buffalo sliders ?

cuz they are starting to make a habit of this

explosive runs that put them to the top of the nhl early

and then massive drops in performance causing them to slide way down the standings

and i really believed they were/are for real this season

they still can show they are

@coastal.view Yeah, nobody believes in the Bills either.  lol  They're 6-2 playing a team next week that is 2-6 and the Bills opened as 2.5 point underdogs in Vegas betting.

As for the Sabres, they still need better goaltending and their forwards need to pull their head's out of their as*es and generate some scoring again.

maybe one day you'll get a discussion forum of your own

@112 I'm planning the parade already! 

@Drive-By Body Pierce I hope not.  I could technically use the White Noise forum but I have too much fun messing with everyone here then it goes away after it gets buried from others posting.

Besides it's a Canucks board.  I prefer to only post about the Canucks outside of my profile.

Speaking of which, I was serious about the Canucks possibly taking over first place.  If Demko keeps playing well and Green stays with his hot hand instead of plugging Marky back in right away, I can easily see the Canucks going on a hefty winning streak.

My Demko fanboy-ism is proving to be correct so far.

@Bure_Pavel Read the thread for the answer.

I have a feeling my Al Bundy reference went over a lot of young heads...  It was a great show in it's time.

Beware premature evaluation!

You missed my quote saying Buffalo is the only team I'd cheer for other than the Nucks 

I was thinking about maybe how Housley would work as an assistant for us, can mentor Quinn, help on the blueline and the PP but I see he's in Arizona now.  I still think we could use some new assistants and keep Green.

One of the big Oilers mistakes (and boy....have they made a TON) was firing Krueger when he had them going in the right direction.  Worse, the Coilers double-down by hiring Dallas Eakins next!

And as a Canuckfan, I thank jeebus for that.

@Tre Mac He helped turn Nashville's defence into a powerhouse so I'd imagine he could do the same with the Canucks, but there could be a new head coach next year if the Canucks don't make the playoffs so it would be a better idea to hire Housley as an assistant along with a possible new head coach.

 If you trade for Louie...Stanley Cup!

sweet

is the parade route planned yet ?

which jersey numbers will be retired ?

have they decided which disney location they will be going to ?

so many questions for such a perfect team

Very.

It's the same one as the last 50 years.

All of them.

Yes.  Disney World.  Disney Land is inferior.

I have all of the answers for the perfect team.

The Autoworkers Union pay the Democrats and the big automakers pay both parties.  That's why they get extra attention and favourable legislation.

I enjoyed that Rogan appearance, but he didn't do himself any favours with it.  His investors had mini conniptions.

@SabreFan1   There was a video of a guy doing it.  Was kind of funny (he was wearing 'walking shorts') in that he didn't take off his pants (not that I was disappointed I didn't get to see his "tallywacker" ).  He merely 'did his deposit', shook his leg and the log fell out.

@NewbieCanuckFan I'm sure there are plenty of videos of guys and girls.  I just don't go seeking these videos out so this was pretty shocking to me.

I've just never seen it so blatant before.  I've heard plenty of stories about people sharting and/or not quite making it to a bathroom, but actually dropping their drawers and going like an animal.  And that second video where the woman actually picks it up and flings it.  That just boggles the mind.

@NewbieCanuckFan Be honest, you were were disappointed that you couldn’t see his pipe.

One of your relatives Sabrefan1?

@NewbieCanuckFan OMG!  How in the world is that even possible?!

I may not have children, but I'd like to think I'd remember leaving a human being on top of my vehicle.  Thank God she had bike racks for him to cling to.

I'm not sure which is more neglectful, this or when someone leaves their kid in an enclosed vehicle.

@Ghostsof1915 Man I loved that show back in the 70's..it was SOOO different from anything else on TV.

Twit of the yr was prob my fav skit. Classic.

I dig it. I really adore the Canucks redone stick-in-rink too, but the texturing on the buffalo jersey is fantastic. The gold also looks pretty cool.

I saw that they Sabres also have white gloves as well to go with the kit.  After seeing Vegas using white gloves, gotta say it looks really sharp how all the colours contrast well against one another.

yeah there good looking, hopefully those guys make the playoffs next year.

There could be actual video tapes of Urine man kicking a blind granny in a wheelchair and his popularity wouldn't change.  His followers have long sold their soul.

Best way to beat him in an election is to give voters a reason to vote for them.  Else it'll be a "win" again for Bone Spurs.

When Donald Trump bought Mar-A-Lago resort, he had to sue the city to be allowed to include all people as members. It was previously all white men. The man is not a racist, furthest thing from it that I can see. At this point, those harping on race constantly should be considered the racists.

Yeah he's no racist.  Just a con man / grifter with no class.

If he could make a buck selling his feces...He's do it.
