    Based on WD's comments on Horvat's style of play, I wouldn't expect to see Baer or Rodin on his line barring injuries. Horvat will be playing with the likes of Burrows, Hansen, Dorsett, Etem, Virtanen etc IMO.

     

    I could quite easily see Rodin and Granlund as 2/3 of an offensive 4th line though.

     

     

    Maybe we will be like the leafs and Devils and won't have a true first line center. 

     

    They are hard to come by these days. Closest I saw to a Henrik replacement was Mcdavid at the world juniors and we all know with our team there is no chance we draft first overall . Maybe Henrik's role will be just like Bure's in that it never gets filled. That's why these guys are Canuck legends. Hank: greatest playmaker in Canucks history. Bure: greatest goal scorer in Canuck history. 

     

    I hope I'm wrong though. 

     

     

    Edit:  I quoted the wrong post. Post I was trying to quote said that the only thing he's worried about is finding a Henrik replacement. I do all my posts on my phone. Sorry about the confusion guys. 

  2. For those that want to catch the highlights of last night's game here is a link below:

    0:01-1:00 mark. Gave me good laugh the way the commentator calls it. Has a nice "choke" when something decent happens.

    They should hire him for calling the oilers games. Their fans would be too busy laughing that the pain of losing would be subdued.

  3. I think virtanen makes the team next year if for no other reason than he adds that "get people out of their seats" excitement that's so badly needed on this team. Either a big goal or a big hit. The fan base is starting to dwindle and management has to be concerned

    Things have actually started to change actually. I think its important to make distinctions from this season and last season.

    Last season there was a visible emptiness in the seats and the interest in the team was at its lowest in 15 years. Most importantly the team was not winning and playing an entertaining brand of hockey.

    This season not only do we have the trust of the fans back in management, we are winning at a bit of a better pace but we are playing a more entertaining brand of hockey.

    All of this, plus the lower ticket prices have had a positive effect on the team.

  4. If the playoffs started today, Canucks would play Calgary according to CBC; how? explain please? 6th and 7th seat in first round?

    k so here's how it works.

    The nhl recently adopted a new playoff format. Here's how it works.... I forgot the rest.

    Seriously though, I still don't get how it works.

  5. lol at the Black Swan praise.

    Citizenfour: 9/10

    There's a moment at some point in the movie when it hit me that all this was real, and the scope of it felt astronomical. I don't know, it was disturbing.

    If you think about it clearly what snowden did though was kind of stupid. I mean his story barely lasted as frontage news and he basically destroyed his whole life just to get it out.

    Still a good movie though

    Citizen four

    8.5/10

  6. This sounds familiar regarding another player this year...lol.

    The reality is cdc always finds a player or two every season to do this to.

    Burrows is about the only core player that could reasonably be traded who i would be ok keeping especially since the sedins are going nowhere.

    Does CDC always find a player to beat on every season or is there always one bad player that is easy to beat on every season.

  7. Finally watched this.

    The Interview 7/10

    I think my friend said it best. If your a teenage guy, with a teenage mentality you'll love the movie- note to others it contains a bit profanity, objectification of woman and graphic blood scenes. If your not in the teenage boy group its "okay" but still contains a few comic scenes. Rogan and Franco with another great performance. Randall Park (Kim Jun Un) just an excellent performance, felt as his character was real, despite common sense suggesting otherwise.

  8. A day before his 15th birthday, the son of a wealthy family was asked by his father, `Well my son, what would you like for your birthday?'

    The son hesitated a moment and his father's thoughts leapt ahead to a new computer and similar things. However, his son had had a new computer only recently and could have a new one any time he wished.

    Finally, the son said, `Father, I have everything a boy could wish for, but there is one thing I would really like. I would love to have a pink ping pong ball.'

    The father was rather astonished at this wish, but said, `If it is a pink ping pong ball that you want, a pink ping pong ball you shall have.'

    And so, the next day, the son was given as his bithday present a pink ping pong ball.

    The boy took the ball to his room and the next morning the pink ping pong ball was gone. The father was mildly surprised but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong ball, however, was never seen again.

    The next year, a day before his 16th birthday, the father asked his son what he would like for his birthday.

    Father,' replied the son,I have everything a boy could possibly wish for, but there is one thing I would really, really like. I would love to have a tenpack of pink ping pong balls.'

    The father was more surprised than the year before, but kept his curiosity at bay, for he knew that his son had a right for privacy. he said therefore, `If it is a tenpack of pink ping pong balls that you want, a tenpack of pink ping pong balls you shall have.'

    And so, the next day, the son was given as his birthday present a tenpack of pink ping pong balls.

    The boy took the tenpack of balls to his room and the next morning, not a single ball remained, merely the empty husk of the tenpack. The father wondered where ten pink ping pong balls might disappear to, but decided not to say anything. The pink ping pong balls, however, were never seen again.

    The next year, a day before his 17th birthday, the son was asked by his father what he would like for his birthday.

    Father,' said the son to this,I have everything a boy could wish for, but one thing would make my happiness complete. I would dearly want a carton of pink ping pong balls.'

    The father was beyond surprise, but decided to make sure he had not misheard. `A carton of pink ping pong balls?'

    `A carton of pink ping pong balls,' the boy confirmed.

    I can't understand your fascination with pink ping pong balls,' said the father,but if it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you want, it is a carton of pink ping pong balls that you shall have.'

    And so, the next day, the boy was given as his birthday present a carton of pink ping pong balls.

    The boy was delighted and took the carton to his room. The next day, miraculously (as if by magic, even) the pink ping pong balls had all disappeared.

    Dear son,' said the father,I must ask now, what do you do with all those pink ping pong balls?'

    The son, however, was reluctant to tell him. `Please humour me, dear father.'

    The carton of pink ping pong balls, however, was never seen again.

    The next year, it was clear that the son would get a car, but the father felt that, perhaps, his son also had some other wish apart from the obvious. So, one day before the son's 18th birthday, the father asked him whether he had a special wish for his birthday.

    Dearest father,' the son started,I have everything a young man could possibly want, but there is one craving in me. I would, more than anything, want a warehouse full of pink ping pong balls.'

    One of these years, his father thought, I should get to the bottom of this. However, he decided to humour his son's wish. At least he had been wise enough to buy shares in a pink ping pong ball factory.

    The next day, the son was given the address of a warehouse where all his new pink ping pong balls were stored. The son was delighted and decided to spend the next night in the warehouse rather than at home.

    The following morning, the son stepped out of the warehouse, but it seemed to be empty otherwise. The father had a closer look and indeed, apart from empty cardboard boxes, nothing was left inside the warehouse. No pink ping pong balls were left.

    The following year, one day before the son's 19th birthday, the father braced himself for another warehouse of pink ping pong balls. He asked his son what his deepest desire was and he had not been entirely wrong.

    `Father, you have made me very happy these last years and this year I ask of you a shipload of pink ping pong balls if at all possible.'

    It was possible, if only because the father had by now bought each and every factory of pink ping pong balls in the country.

    The next day, the father took his son to the harbour and showed him a huge tanker and told his son that there were millions, billions, trillions of pink ping pong balls in there.

    Father,' the son said,You've made me very happy yet again.'

    That night, the son spent on board the tanker.

    The next morning, not a single of the pink ping pong balls could be found, but the son was happy.

    A few days before his 20th birthday, however, the son had a terrible road accident and was taken to the hospital.

    His father visited the young man in hospital. `My dear son! Can I bring you anything to make you feel better?'

    Weakly, the son sat up in bed. `Father, dearest father, grant me this wish; just one tenpack of pink ping pong balls.'

    The father held his son's hand tightly. `Whatever you wish my son, but I have to give you one condition. Even if it may be embarrassing, I must know what you did with all those pink ping pong balls.'

    `Very well, father, but please indulge me first. I will tell you whatever you wish to know after you have given me the ten pink ping pong balls.'

    The father thought that was fair enough and the next day brought his son the ten asked for pink ping pong balls. The son smiled weakly but seemed too weak to talk.

    `Son, I leave these pink ping pong balls with you and shall come back tomorrow to ask of you what you have done with all those pink ping pong balls.'

    The son nodded weakly.

    The next day, less than surprisingly, no pink ping pong balls could be found in the son's hospital room.

    `Now, my dearest son, apple of my eye, treasure of my life, please tell me what you did with all those pink ping pong balls,' the father requested.

    The son nodded and the father gripped his hand tighter.

    `I-'

    And then he died.

    I hate this story, why did you post it here. I read all of that thinking I would A) discover why he needed the balls and B) was expecting a laugh out of the story.

  9. I am never going to spend another second watching sports ever again cause the conspiracy theorists were right all along.

    What are the canucks called? They are called Canucks Sports and Entertainment. Ever wondered what Sports and entertainment means? Here's the defination:

    Sports entertainment is a type of spectacle which presents an ostensibly competitive event using a high level of theatrical flourish and extravagant presentation, with the purpose of entertaining an audience. Unlike typical athletics and games, which are conducted for competition, sportsmanship, exercise or personal recreation, the primary product of sports entertainment is performance for an audience's benefit, thus they are never practiced privately. Commonly, the outcomes are predetermined; as this is an open secret, it is not considered to be match fixing.
  10. k guys lets get this straightened out the NHL IS NOT RIGGED, but then again it is.

    So what are the canucks called? Canucks Sports and Entertainment

    Ever wondered what Sports and Entertainment meant? Well its not what you think it is.

    Here is the definition for it:

  12. If you just want to see it that's fine by me but you have to come with something better if you want to be able to have a discussion. Calling those who disagree with you ding dongs though speaks volumes about the strength of your argument. No room for discussion at all. You remind me of Xanlet from back in the Nomorebettman days.

    I got nothing against Bettman anyways this happens in all pro sports whether its in the NFL, NBA or MLB.

    You can't pin this on Bettman (its not really his fault).

  13. I think this actually would show a bias giving the site we're on. If you really want to go for being unbiased you need to show me an error that hurt the Bruins from those playoffs. I mean outside of just picking the winner it's really about maximizing revenue. That happens with extended series especially in big markets. SO logically they would have to have made "errors" that didn't favor the Bruins to maximize profits.

    I see where you're trying to lead me here but I think it's pretty weak tbh. I mean you might as well be making toast with an image of jesus burnt into it as proof of an afterlife. I'm sure you can find better than this. I mean, a player was in a position, took a one timer and a save was made. That's called hockey. Players get robbed all the time. Weaksauce, 23, weaksauce.

    So showing a goal that cost the Bruins a game is something that did not hurt them in the playoffs? :lol:
