  1. If you're a whiskey/scotch drinker, which is your favourite? What's something you'd recommend to anyone? What's something you'd steer everyone away from? 

  2. OK.  Looks like Matt Benning is going to be an UFA.  I think he would be a great fit but get the feeling he doesn't want his uncle to be a distraction

      Oooof Coilers get 13 games out of Athanasiou for two 2nd round picks. Benning would have been drawn and quartered for letting that happen.

  3. Another sleepless night.

     

    Any ideas on what to take or do to fall asleep?

      My trick is to focus entirely on breathing. Many people have a hard time 'shutting off' their minds so refocus those thoughts elsewhere but it's easier said than done.

      I try as hard as I can to inhale as much air as possible through my nose and slowly exhale the whole breath by pushing out every bit of air I can with my diaphragm. It takes me less than 6 breaths to fall asleep. Lucky me I know. But I swear by it. With all your focus on taking in and pushing out as much air as you can, you simply forget to worry about all the other stuff going on.

  4. Who’s one prospect you’re really disappointed he never panned out? For me it’s Hunter Shinkaruk. Dude had sweet hands and was overall really good when he was drafted. 

  5. Brock is back in.

      Probably is being rushed back cuz playoffs on the line. If i'm him i'd be pushing hard to get back too.

      Clearly rushing him back to showcase him to trade him at the draft

  7. Apparently half of the fan base should be on suicide watch because we're bubble playoff team. AKA just what we were predicted to be.

  9. So Erikkson nixed a trade last year.

     

     

    1. RonMexico

      RonMexico

      True or not, he and his agent negotiated the right to refuse and team ownership/management agreed to it. Hate it all you like but just because he may have been asked to waive, he certainly doesn't have to do it.

  10. Going to Edmonton for the first time in a couple of weeks.  Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do and see.

      Whyte Ave is probably your best shot at some decent night life.

  11. At times like these, think back to last year. We're still in it. This is supposed to be fun.

      As badly as we want the Canucks to be playing their best right now, all of the teams we are fighting with are struggling too. I find the chase right now very exciting.

  12. Fu to the genius that thought it was smart to pave HWY1 westbound overnight and not be done by the morning commute.Fourty five minutes from 232 to 200st

      @Alflives I don't agree. While tolls provide revenue, they certainly don't keep people out of their cars and into transit. Most people will pay the tolls (unless there is a back route around them) to have the convenience of door to door delivery of themselves. Transit is viewed as inconvenient. Unless you live and work in your community, there is little incentive to use transit services. I guarantee many people would rather sit in bumper to bumper traffic than take the Skytrain.

  15. stay the course canucks. the future will get better. not time to fire anyone. just stick together.

      That's too much common sense @debluvscanucks but I totally agree. Patience is a lost virtue in today's world that demands instant satisfaction.

  17. Just for fun what would Hall do with Pettersson and Boeser?

  18. One of Benning's main strengths is being able to find potentially great players deeper in the draft.

     

    Case in point: Tryamkin.

     

    Instead of spouting doom and gloom over our prospects not being considered to have elite potential at 18 years old, maybe have a little faith in our drafting and development of said players. A players development doesn't end at 18 years old.

      ^^ why does that even matter? The scouts are a team. Successes are shared.

      My condolences to the woman. That gluten is everywhere except those hippy markets and that section of the grocery store with all the rotten food that is 'on sale'.

  20. Sounds like Benning is looking to into some European UFAs this offseason.

    1. RonMexico

      RonMexico

      But Benning sucks at general managing though. He loves draft picks but trades them for other team's trash. We need elite core players! SC winners have them by the boatload. They got them by sucking. Did I miss any of the other repeated nonsense?

  21. If there is not a special hell reserved for people that put fish in a lunch room microwave there should be.

  22. The only fear I have is that people are going to turn on Hamhuis for this because MUH ASSET MANAGEMENT.

      Asset management is the most over used and misunderstood term out there.

      It's a function of the salary cap and of Gary Bettman socialist point system to create false parity.
