  1. So is Rathbone available for the Saturday April 24 game against Ottawa?
  2. Green your team just won 2 in a row. So you changed every line so you could look like a smart guy. Every line was different. We had Roussel out. So because of that you changed every line combo? Yuck. This loss is on you buddy. Please can we not re-sign him next year. Find an experienced coach cuz we have a lot of guys coming up who need experience to manage them. Enough Willy D coaching.
  3. There's a goal late in the period because Virtanen is lazy and took a bad penalty in the middle of doing nothing. Seriously. How can anyone still support this guy playing? Sit him.
  4. it is so frustrating that Virtanen is still playing. Yuck. Nothing every game. Nothing. Then stupid penalty. Then nothing. I bet 60 percent of Canuck fans have had enough of him.
  5. Demko is the number one goalie to this point this year. You go with him when he is ready. Vancouver fan recency bias rears it's head again there V.
  6. I have been watching Donny and Dhali on Chek when I can catch it. I really enjoy it. If you haven't seen it check it out. (Mon to Fri 10 am to 12pm). We need more Donny Taylor's in the market place. At least this show has no eastern Sportsnet ownership bias. Makes a difference. Largely ya, I agree with you that the run of the mill Vancouver media is stuck in the mindset that negative makes more noise than positive And honest reporting takes too much work lol. Still, maybe as the team gets better the negative reporting will lessen. One can hope.
  7. That's an interesting take. I dunno. Proximity means they get more exposure to fans and media but also to Canuck coaching staff, trainers etc. There are pluses to that as well you know. Obscurity is not necessarily a prospect's best friend. Funny that you believe that the hockey market in BC is now so toxic that what would always be seen as a positive in years gone by, you now see as a negative. I think that more positives would arise over time from proximity to our farm team. Granted there could be some crap but overall I would support a move to BC. Thanks for explaining your viewpoint.
  8. I think you speak for most Canuck fans. At the right price and term bringing Tryamkin back is all upside.
  9. This year the Canucks are either going to make the playoffs as a Cinderella team or miss - but they won't miss by a lot. So I figure we are very likely to draft 11 to 15 if we miss the playoffs. If we make the playoffs we still will likely draft 16 to 19. So our window looks very likely to be 11 to 19. (And no lottery). I hope JB can find a gem given that there has been less in person scouting done this year by everyone compared to most years. Top 9 fwd or top 4 D who can join within a couple years would be a nice addition. Would be a great year to luck out on a Charlie McAvoy type pick (who Boston got at 14). We could use some good luck this year!!
  10. Juolevi making strides. He needs to replace Eddie in the next while and so far that is looking possible. I'd love to see Rathbone get a look as well to see what the future could really look like.
  11. TO media is blaming the two game series on their goaltending. While their goaltending was not great the Leafs scored 2 goals game one and 3 goals game 2. That's not stellar offence.
  12. Ya I talked to JB and Judd. They feel terrible they missed that when drafting him. They agree. He never had a problem with it for all the years he grew up. Through the WJC even. Then he developed it after they drafted him and he still hasn't shaken it. Way to go partner. Lol.
  13. The TO media panel are hilarious in their mantra...Canucks doing a good job hanging in with the much superior team. The team that wins tonight will lead the season series between the two of them 4 to 3. Not worth mentioning I guess lol.
  14. Pearson needs to step it up to keep up with how well Horvat is playing
  15. Canucks have the best Ho's in the league. listen you started it...
  16. Virt gonna need to skate to keep up with the other young guys who are flying....this might light his fire!
  17. Good luck partner. If she says yes you need to respect that and take care of this girl for the rest of her life. All the best.
