Quantum

Congratz to MODO. 

What are you guys on about?

Go watch some of his old interviews. He always stutter and takes huge breath after long sentences.

I got the impression he was just choked up, but it was for sure hard to watch. 

Yeah, I don't think he was having trouble breathing, but just sighing a lot. Either way, it's clearly been a really tough year or so for him.

McDavid looked very unhappy after the 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Florida. Didn't go full Draisaitl, but don't know how much more of this he will endure before he asks for a trade. Seems like a New York kind guy to me.

Honestly it would absolutely suck to be an Oilers fan. It’s like a dangling fruit that you just can’t reach. Best player in the world and they just can’t build around him. It’s quite amazing actually 

drinking actual tears would dehydrate you though

I’ll give him a bit. I think the media wears on a guy especially in Canada. I am in a agreement with your statement though. I’m always interested to hear what he says. It’s always fresh 

Not Van the Man's best.... But most famous.  I like Jackie wilson said best.  It kinda knocks me off my feet. 

No, Band-Maid is crack for me.

 Black, brown, white doesn’t matter.  People should stop being stupid as***les and love one another.  A hug and a smile and acceptance and respect are what’s truly important.  “Love they neighbor”.  

You just want to see the train wreck involve another train derailing don't you. 

After Gaudette ruined Bo's birthday and everyone's season, I think Bo may straight up punch him in the face, then dare management and ownership to do something about it.

Apparently Bo missed JT's Halloween party, so even?!?

Do you study Quantum Physics? or maybe R&D or something?

I looked it up and he actually would be. No NHL player since its inception in 1917 has ever had a surname beginning with X.

Sure it’s a great plan if the end goal in to relocate the club.  Just move them to Quebec, where people love hockey, and they will have fans.

Because as we've seen in Edmonton, Toronto and Buffalo that tanking works so well....

Detroit doesn't need Bedard or Wright. They'll draft someone who is just as good that fits in there core, likely a European player that isn't on anyone's radar. Look at what Yzerman did in Tampa, nabbing guys like Point and Kucherov out of the first round. Arizona needs a superstar, they thought they were getting one in Strome and they had to salvage what was left of the asset and got Schmaltz for him. Schmaltz turned out to a far superior player on a great contract, so I think if Arizona wants to go scorched Earth then they can. 

For next years' draft, I say Wright goes Arizona, Seattle picks second, Columbus at third, Buffalo at fourth and Nashville at fifth. We'll keep our pick, which you'd have to hope would be in the late teens of the first. If they trade our first, I'll hit the roof. I don't see Matthews signing in Arizona when his contract expires, I think he'll stay in Toronto under an even more grossly-overpaid contract. Matthews hasn't won anything and he's not the best player in the world, I'd say he should be getting $9M instead of $11.6M. By the time Matthews is a UFA, Arizona will either be in Houston or they'll be one of the best young teams in the league or BOTH. 

Seems a bit of an attn-wh*re. Might be a good fit in that region.

lol at hitting the cap floor.  Kraken owners probably use 'Ben Franklin's/$100 bills' as kindling wood.

There are better players to pick than Subban.

Ray's are only 2.5 back of Boston too in MLB. 

Might be a chance Tampa’s baseball team relocates.  And they currently don’t have a NBA team.

canucks fans say the exact same things to frankie

lol

She’s their President too?  Can’t be on the hockey side though, right?  

Trevor Linden for Todd Bertuzzi (who we used later to get Roberto Luongo), Bryan McCabe (who we used to get one of the Sedins) and a draft pick (who we used to select Jarkku Ruutu (sp?)) is a pretty good 2nd place.

@Heretic is mostly the piece of garbage that he chose as a VP who's homophobic. Trump is responsible for putting that evil parasite into a position of power though.

I hope Trump wins. He needs to win otherwise say good bye to America! TRUMP 2020 

the link I posted is funny to you @Heretic?  wow. 

This is a question I've mulled. & IF this continues, can any CDC'ers suit up?!

I think so, but MacEwen is still ahead of Lind on the depth chart.  I know that this isn’t what you were implying but I thought I’d mention it anyways.

Indeed, MacEwen would still draw in first.

No, Canucks luck is we just wouldn't win the lottery.

The Canucks didn't even win the 1st overall pick when they had a 50% chance.

Ya, i was scratching my head a bit at his comment. It's quite optimistic, and changing out that much of the roster seems significant especially if we're trying to be competitive and adding in rookies. He was also talking about that in reference to Madden, so was he referring to 7 forwards? there's no way. But if I were to take a stab:

F:

Lind

Podz

Hogs

D:

Juolevi

Rafferty

Rathbone

G:

Dipietro

Makes the Madden loss a bit more palatable, which is probably why he said it.

Forgot about Rathbone! Yeah, Rathbone jumps over MacEwen, McDonagh, and Woo.

And yeah, it definitely makes losing Madden palatable. I think it's easy to forget how deep this prospect pool really is.

7 of these players inserted from ahl and juniors  who are the 7 vets that leave  in 2 yrs. Heres my take eriksson, benn, sutter, beagle, tanev, leivo, stecher. 

We're safe!

If not ROH a team award named after him?

I love the idea of honouring him - for sure!

@6string Perseverance award would be fitting, similar to the Masterton imo 

i mean he was kinda a goon..

Not so quietly recently. He's been driving play, moving his feet and shooting from better angles.

I still hope he ups his physicality but Id be fine if he reserves that for the playoffs

Hes slowly turning into the player that Benning was betting on when he drafted him.  If Jake turns this into a consistent effort, we may not have to do too much shopping over the next 2 years, as we will have all the talent we need.  Especially with Podkolzin and Hoglander knocking on the door.

All of us Jake supporters were and still are preaching patience. Now it is starting to pay off.

McCann is a new Grabner. I don't think he was ever going to thrive in Vancouver. He needed to be traded by not 1, but 2 teams to get his ass in gear. Oddly enough, Grabner also had to pass through Florida and Vancouver before establishing himself. 

Yes, it would have been nice if McCann could have blossomed in Vancouver but I feel like it just wasn't meant to be and we need to move on. 

Like I said, McCann is just Grabner 2.0....

your mean Grabner with less speed and skill? Maybe Grabber 0.6 ?

@oldnews We'll probably never agree on Gudbranson, but honestly, he wasn't the right fit. You can pull all the stats (fancy or otherwise) to try and support your case. Yet you can see what he did and didn't do on the ice. On the radio after the trade, he admitted he didn't play as well as he would've wanted.

That kind of accountability makes Gudbranson a solid guy. I hope he plays well, wherever he plays. I am not a Gudbranson hater. I never was.
