  1. We got this. That Davis monkey is pissing us off, but the guys are starting to understand the Indian game. Next step, show them jay game
  2. We got this. If joey can take a walk, the rest of the team understands
  3. I still can't believe Calgary took that other goalie over demko. Gonna have to look it up *mason McDonald taken two picks before demko.
  4. No....no....that's exactly what leafs fans deserve. In the end, you get what you pay for and those fans seem to have no issues with paying crazy ticket prices to see said ahl team. Way better off watching the jays or Argos play. At least if those teams lose you don't end up saying to yourself...."man I just spent $500 on two tickets, and $60 on six watered down beer that came in a plastic cup, with a straw". (I did that btw, live in Edmonton so I paid to see the nucks play in rexall. I learned my lesson. Waste of $600. Even Vancouver played terrible)
  5. Just trying to give you a little perspective. Shhhhheeeeit, I was hart, Ross, and lady byng player once....yet no one but me remembers that. ...and then I had to restart cause my "live the life" player in nhl 15 retired. *yes it was on rookie mode, you got me* but I spent hundreds of hours doing it?
  6. No offense, but I'm sure the "last time you scored" you had to pay for it, and probably gave her a toonie to buy dentures "Thanks gramma, you still want bath day this Thursday?"
  7. Yes. Burrows has bled, fought hard to be a part of, and made what this team is. Retire a 'nucks Mr burrows. You've earned your place in the ring, or will.
  8. Now everyone just give a kiss and hugz to mister gulutzan. Or Santa Claus. I believe in both of them.
  9. Suckers. You don't build by drafting. You build on the Lego blocks you are given. Scorevat may be the best draft choice we have had. Not saying he is bure, but it seems that (edit) when you build the foundation, the top rung follows suit.
  10. and that "top ten first round pick" in Horvat, may very well be along the same lines as Burkes trade to get both Sedins. Dont underestimate Horvat. That kid is going to be one of the best players the Canucks have ever had.
  11. Wow. People are thinking way too much about the now, as opposed to the future. Gillis is the best GM we've ever had, and likely will ever have. The Sedins will easily beat all scoring records for the Canucks. Luongo already owns all the goaltending records for Vancouver, despite the hate that is spewed like saturday morning hair of the dog. "OOOOH lets go get a top six forward! Yeah...but we only wanna pay....lets see...a used washing machine and a truck full of clothes we were going to take to goodwill". Get over yourselves. For real. "Its better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt" The same works for GM's. "Its better to not make a risky trade, than do it and learn that It really was stupid" And before you say "well he traded blah blah wah wah for boo boo goo goo!". Booth cost us nothing. Hodgson was an equal trade, and in the long run Gillis will win it. Even the Schneider trade, we really havent lost anything. I love Schneids and I was hoping he would be our goaltender for the future, but lets be honest....if Gillis could have taken a first round top ten pick for Loo then it would have been done far earlier than draft day. Take off the beer goggles. There is a method to the madness. Red Wing model.
  12. Anyone beaching about Kassian is silly. He is learning exactly what Torts and Gillis want him to. Be responsible in your own end. Work with your line mates. My only knock on Kass is the fact he isnt hitting people enough, but with the pressure of being "responsible defensively", he has to pick and choose when he hits. Dump the puck, slam their defenseman into the boards, maybe stay around and talk a bit of sheet, get back into position.
  13. Man....Hansen has a good shot...just shoot the damned thing while you are going full speed and count the goals you should have. Dont do a predictable uninspired "semi deke" and slap the puck off the goalies chest protector. AIM FOR THE HEAD HANSEN!
  14. Then again, maybe thats the plan....Let Henrik play in the olympics and make him get surgery afterwards. I can see a competitor like Henrik enforcing the fact he is playing in the Olympics despite having a serious injury. I just hope it gets fixed before it affects his career, not just one season.
  15. There was a thread a week or two ago about a canuck being injured and needs surgery, and I said "Henrik Sedin because the Sedins have been off all year, and Henrik doesnt want to lose his ironman streak." Henrik not taking faceoffs? Come on...if Henrik is injured fix him up. This is getting ridiculous. Make him get the surgery he needs GMMG. I dont care if it is an olympic year. You think he and Daniel will be able to win a medal playing like that? Get it done. Please. Call the season, and prepare for next year. Bring up some rookies to fill the lineup, and get the top guys healthy. And theres no one on the Canucks above Henrik Sedin.
  16. Agreed. Im surprised that Kassian looks so soft out there, for a big kid. I wouldnt care if he would just run something over. Get himself into the game and give himself some energy ffs
  17. I heard he likes bear sausage. It kinda scares me that he can kill a bear at 50 yards with a bow, but cant shoot a puck at the net further than 7 feet. Well you know, and get the goal.....
