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.

Remember when some chose Mittelstadt as an early 2018 Calder favourite? It's a year and a half later annnnd...

@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.

Sorry everyone. I missed the entire game. I was elbow deep in the family businesses central invoicing system for hours. One of my relatives managed to fubar it and I had to un-fubar it.
From what I could see from the box stats, my crappy goaltending prediction was right on the nose.
What did I miss? I'm sure there was plenty of whining about refereeing as always, but what happened with Demko's poor stats this game? His fault? The defence's fault?
I already know Carter Hutton sucks so we can skip over that...

@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.

Somebody here with a cat needs to try this and see if it works...

The story of how former Canuck/Sabre Alexander Mogilny was spirited away from the Soviets and out from under the KGB's noses.

@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.

@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 thisexplosive 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.

@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.

Well he'd be an assistant and Buffalo continues to suck so I don't think it was all on him.
They continue to suck you say? Have you stepped into Trump's alternate reality? 2nd place with no regulation losses, most goals scored, best differential. They're definitely going to slow down sooner or later because they have mediocre goalies, but they aren't "continuing to suck" as of right now...
So far Krueger looks to be an improvement over Housley.

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.
-
-
@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.
-
Sabres are in first place in the NHL!
I'm choosing to ignore the fact that so are a bunch of other teams.

Elon Musk's Starship update.
He plans on doing a 20 km high "hop" by the end of the year and put one in orbit some time next year.
Fair warning, when he does it, I'm going to be on CDC obnoxiously saying USA USA USA. Unless of course it crashes or explodes, then I'm blaming Canada!

@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.

@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.
