  1. This should make TSN ever so slightly more bearable.
  2. I'll always remember Luongo nearly singlehandedly keeping the Canucks in the final game of the Ducks series and yet all people focused on was the 1 mistake he made. I think that game summed up his time in Vancouver pretty well.
  3. Seems like he has some similarities to Jannik Hansen. Relentlessly aggressive, good straight line speed and a bit of a one man show.
  4. It's nice to see all the happiness and joy on here. I didn't care as much if Boston won or not but I can't deny it's fun to laugh at Marchand.
  5. Juolevi still hasn't even skated wow. That's almost 6 months of not just being out but not even skating.
  6. If this goes the distance St Louis need to bring a priest with them to the arena for game 7 in San Jose.
  7. The call really was that bad. The 5 minute PP was the worst part but Vegas not having Eakin for OT hurt them as well.
  8. Definitely one of my favorite all-time coaches. Not only was he successful but he played fun to watch offensive hockey.
  9. There is a world of difference between conspiracy theories posted on the internet and a trustworthy source connected to the league confirming that fraudulent activity is going on. What is the mob going to take out his legs?! lol.
  10. Both Burke and Kypreos talked about how Luongo would fail his physical next year and ride out his contract on LTIR. I found it quite bold to make those statements considering Luongo just played and won a game earlier in the day. So Luongo is healthy today but he won't be in September of 2019...hmmm.
  11. Finally seeing EP in some Canucks games 2 of the things that stood out for me are: 1. He'll put mustard on his passes. He's such a tiny little guy that I was expecting more soft powder puff passing but instead noticed how he will bear down and put so umph into it. It reminds me of a goal scorer like a Stamkos or OV that will get a pass and have an open net but they still bury it like they mean it. I think it's a sign of a good habit. 2. Oh freakin' yeah do I like this one...He uses deception and doesn't telegraph what he's doing. One of my biggest pet peeves is guys that slow the play down and telegraph what they're gonna do(especially on the power play) like the famous one where the point guy holds it for 2 seconds then takes a slap shot directly into the defender's shin pads. EP is out there doing all sorts of stuff, looking all over, passing between his legs, slap pass, down low, hold wait and pass, pass to himself who knows what the heck he's gonna do and I love it.
  12. Damn end of an era, Burrows may be my favorite Canuck of all time. ECHL to the NHL, full effort, all heart, squeezing out all the offense he could muster, being a pain for everyone who aren't the Canucks and of course slaying that dragon baby! I love that the vast majority of Canucks fans always loved him and everyone else hated him. I wish him well for the rest of his career but he'll always be a Canuck.
  13. Watching Kesler lose is fun, but it also brings back nice memories of watching him lose to Canada in the Olympics.

  14. More Golden domination for Canada :)

  15. Alain Vigneault rage

  16. How do you not go Lynch? What an awful choice to pass.

  17. Watching him play in the game last night I couldn't help but think that he was what many Canucks fans were asking for after losing to Boston. A top liner with some nastiness, NOT 3rd and 4th line goons. Anyway it's great seeing Canucks content on Canada, here's to a great tourney for Jake.
  18. I'm surprised no one is willing to take a chance on him. Last year of his contract he should be as motivated as he's gonna get. I guess that contract is just too high.
  19. Yeeeees! It's only one game, but it's nice to get the series off on the right foot.
