  1. what did torts say " the core is stale" , who is in charge of the team ? Gillis. Gillis's team was loaded with ntc, signed loungo to his 12 year contract with a ntc ( all great at the time but not for the future) the only prospect we had was horvat and that was thru a trade . The team was losing with Gillis , , So what should aqua man do keep that gong show together ? Was it not time for a change ? Blame management for wanting to make the playoffs to save face from the Gillis/ Torts disaster that happened at the winter classic , management/Linden hired JB knowing they had a 3 year window with the Sedins to try and go for it . So was everything since is golden ? petey looks like gold to me
  2. another 3 way fantasy that will never ever happen
  3. first thing it is called the salary cap era where every team is limited to the amount of " stars " one team can have , or you can be the laffs and have a lot of "stars" and a bunch a league minimum guys, those group are called divisions like every other north American league has and if you win more than the others you gain a playoff spot , so in reality your complaining about nothing. kesler had a ntc given out by gillis , so again in reality JB got quite a bit back in trading one legged kesler to 1 of 3 team keslers waived to and again you are wrong we lost sbisa to vegas in the expansion draft. So in one sentence you say JB is afraid to make a deal and then you complain about 2 players being traded see you cant even make your mind up , you cant have it both ways man . the NHL is a competitive league now ,with soon to be 32 teams being one of 16 teams making the playoffs is a goal, make the playoffs and compete for the cup , what do you want JB to say ? lets not make the playoffs and not compete for a cup? because that's what you are saying . so again you cant make your mind up and btw you need to be better than 8 other teams to make the playoffs just not your division it called the wild card spots it is a pretty bad troll job when you decide to drag up one legged kesler signed by another gm and traded 5 years ago that JB got a 1st round pick , bonino and sbisa for , oh dim jim
  4. Really bearcheese as your replacement for Pearson lol , Kole Lind, Hoglander,Big mac have a better chance to land that spot . Trade a good young center that just played his first real season lol You would of traded Horvat or the Sedins with your line of thinking , first years stats says Gaudette is that 3rd center sedin 82 games 9 goals 20 assist -2 horvat 68 games 13 goals 12 assists -8 Gaudette 59 games 12 goals 21 assists -7
  5. lol why the hell do you want hall for he did absolutely nothing for the coyotes , plus hall will wants 7 or 8 a season and pietrangelo will want 7 or 8 a season too we cant afford FA we need to sign petey and hughes and dump contracts
  6. dear travis green please excuse the bandwagon fans who think they know the players and the game better than you do , keep up the good work and go canucks go
  7. i say we are in the second round of the playoffs, even with all those busts like myers, rousell ,virtanen,, fantaberg stetcher, beagle, sutter, motte, tanev even super bust joulevi played .
  8. yep dim jim did us a bad one there , how dare jim go out there and pick up a top 6 winger for a playoff push. how dare he trade a 3rd round pick that had value as a 2nd round pick , T.T. blocks a shot and get hurts and op says he could avoid injuries lol, please explain to us how you play professional hockey and not get hurt ? ya im sure madden would of knocked reaves on his ass and scored 6 goals too
  9. lol I am I read it too quick if you score a short handed goal you get a plus and minus if you are on the pp
  10. https://www.bing.com/search?q=are+plus+minus+counted+on+power+plays&form=EDNTHT&refig=9f8fc8d1e320415c951d073d3d49a050&mkt=en-ca&msnews=1&sp=-1&pq=are+plus+minus+counted+on+power+plays&sc=0-37&qs=n&sk=&cvid=9f8fc8d1e320415c951d073d3d49a050# are you sure ? because according to the nhl they do
  11. 3 out of 4 kill penalty's jake doesn't lol gaudette is a first year center who battled his way on the team jakes has been in the league for 5 years
  12. I said he has the tools to be a great player , not arguing that , jakes problem is between the ears , he rather be a kid than train,, great bunch of stats but explain why isn't he playing then? jake sitting with those stats says volumes about his offseason training or not taking being a pro seriously. petey , bo hughes gaudette motte roussell rarely take a shift off .
  13. Jake needs to learn to stop taking shifts off , he needs to , be more of a pro than a bro , I agree with you jake has all the tools but his toolbox needs some work,
  14. umm Travis green has done nothing but been fair with Jake , he has spent more time with Jake than any other player on the roster , Green worked with Jake for 2 years in Utica and now in the nhl , I wish jake would just figure it out but in 5 years of being a Pro , he still doesn't get it and that isn't on Green that is on Jake. Do you see Gaudette having problems like Jake ? no so I guess it isn't the coach then unless you wanna rehash loui's comments last summer
  15. why would Detroit want to trade Bertuzzi for ? they could simply sign a free agent goalie ie lehner . marky etc and keep Bertuzzi . plus big Zack is our "bertuzzi" and he is going to do some damage this play in/ playoffs
  16. that your problem right there you never forced anything on her and by force I mean take the lead and do something about it . like be a man and take charge . don't like her glasses buy some new ones for her , if too much money go buy her some panties ,or buy some make up (sales gals are very helpful ) like go make a effort you know sometimes you have give a lil more to get what you want that is a 2 way street , your just going around in circles by not doing anything
