  1. Santorelli is like a poor man's version of Patty Kane. Best player for the Canucks right now IMO
  2. Sather is getting shafted in the coaching swap, I wonder how open he is to getting shafted in a possible player swap lol. probably unlikely
  3. agreed. unfortunately with the injuries J.S has suffered this season he is a LONG ways away from being in game shape- it is just an unfortunate circumstance. I'm not sure if J.S is subject to waivers but what would be best for him when he is game ready again is to play in Utica and return hopefully just before the season ends to slot in the 3rd/4th line but that might just be wishful thinking. Richardson has done a pretty good job so far I think. Defensively he is exactly what the 3rd line needs and is decent enough as a 2 way C. And with Horvat coming up I agree the Canucks don't need to trade the farm, but even Horvat might be a year or two away from the NHL, so I'm curious who MG & Co might be looking at for depth at the C position.
  4. Booth is starting to come around and become the top 6 player MG wanted when he aquired him. Getting rid of him only makes sense if the Canucks want to open up a roster spot for a young player. I doubt MG does anything untill next season when some prospects battle for a roster spot, and maybe then make a trade if need be., especially since he will be an UFA. There is definitely value in keeping a guy like Booth around if he is performing well because fast power forwards with decent hands are hard to come by, and his chemistry with Kassian is really helping the team right now. Why not keep that intact for next season? Imagine Horvat centering those 2 wingers.
  5. Sesito has skill. His short lefts and counter rights show that he has at least some boxing knowledge. No he doesn't throw hay makers and tries to fight smart and defensively but that's called being smart.
  6. AHLberts puts the foot in people's mouths and tallies up his first point- a mighty fine assist
  7. if the canucks lose this game I suggest a full rebuild
  8. why wouldn't I? sometimes there are bigger goals like making the playoffs than over-celebrating a win. Seems like the same approach I would take.
  9. Yeah they played more the way Torts wants them too- with "stiffness" but even he says they have a LONG ways to go against teams like the Bruins RE his post game comments (I advise you go listen before making subjective comments). I wouldn't be so sure of your celebrating the win as some sort of 'heralded victory' or milestone marker. SImply another game against a good team. Canucks have plenty of more of those left in the regular season. Fair enough. CDC is a hot bed of emotion. Sometimes annoying. Sometimes irrational.
  10. Sedin, Torts, and Luo all say it's just another game.
  11. I just want to add if not for some puck luck and timely execution on the Canucks part, they easily could have had their asses handed to them tonight. Bruins were controlling the game before falling behind. Game could have easily gone the other way.
  12. I'm happy the Canucks beat a very good team like the Bruins but all the "Bruins suck" chants and slamming them here on CDC is stupid IMO. It's 2 points and nothing else until the playoffs.
  13. biting my nails in the first. bruins are a damn good team. Santo and Higgins are IMO playing clutch right now.
  14. Hope Sesito is in the line up for this one and Weiss/Bieksa bring some added toughness. I really don't like the Oilers
  15. What I love about Santo is his 2 way play. Guy is so dependable defensively, and lots of take aways per game/wins puck battles. Guy is a trooper. Hope he can stick around.
  16. AGreed he is looking better, and I had no doubt he would work his way up from the 4th line. IMO 3rd line minutes are perfect for Kassian.
  17. I don't want to be the negative nancy here but unless Guance starts stepping up his physical play, I don't see him fitting into Torts vision of an aggressive/physical bottom 6
  18. love how supportuive some of CDC are when the Nucks can string some wins together but want to tear the team to shreds when they face some adversity. hilarious
  19. Yep. The Canucks actually have a 4th line that can play meaningful minutes with him on it. I'mnot ragging on Dalpe's effort because it has been good, but if a better 4th line C came their way then the Canucks could feasibly roll 4 solid lines
  20. he's gotta earn more ice time from the bottom up. you can tell he wants to be out there more. that should light a fire under his ass and that's a good thing.
