Nucker 67 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yes, it would be ideal if they won a Cup before Boeser and Pettersson etc are due for big raises. Canucks need to bring in some snarl and grit. Teams won't go too far without that ingredient and the Canucks are lacking in that area, especially with Dorsett gone. Team isn't getting much tougher either with Juolevi, Pettersson and Dahlen soon to be here. Hopefully Benning will work his magic and get us a monster lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he froze Josi, incredible patience waiting until he was able to thread the needle through Josi's legs and fired a blind laser top right corner. Rinne had no chance. And Josi/Rinne are considered two of the NHL's best at what they do. That's a patented shot from Boeser. The goalie has no chance to pick that puck up through the defenders legs. It made me think to myself. I wonder if he's ever hit anyone in the nuts with that through the legs shot. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's unrealistic for this team to push for a cup legitimately next year 2018/19 season. I don't see why Brock can't be part of the core team. As we've seen in teams that have won a cup and won again after their team got into cap trouble. If you can identify your core everyone else can be replaced Right now I see Horvat and Boeser as part of that core. Though I'm not sure who else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year it's even possible...but 2018/19 could be a guaranteed cup if Sedins re-sign for 1 mill each (hometown discount to win cup)... Sign Tavares UFA maybe? 11 million? Or other UFA's or just go for Kane instead of JT. This team has proven it can demolish the Stanley Cup Champs... there's no reason we shouldn't go all in and go for the cup next season. Next year is his last on ELC. By that time, at best the likes of Pettersson, Dahlen, and Juolevi will be just rookies. We'll be fine with cap, as the Sedins will be off the books and our highest-paid forwards Loui, Bo, and Sutter average only $5.3 million per.

I still remember the photo in the Province the next day, just a photo of the score clock . Couldn't find it on the internet though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching that. I think it was an afternoon game. As a guy who's first real hockey memory was game 7 OT in 1989, watching my team take the boots to the Flamers was thoroughly enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_In_Paradise Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Brock is a star in the making, we just need to temper the expectations a bit and let him learn to cope with slow times (which unfortunately will eventually come). That shot is so lethal though, he really is quite an asset for our power play, I just wish he was setup more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Pettersson, Brock and Horvat have to be part of the core right now. I know Pettersson hasnt played an NHL game yet. but the way he’s trending. it looks inevitable that he’ll be producing the way Boeser has been this season so far. i think the Canucks will be fine with the cap. Brock will be paid for what he’s worth. and he will deserve every penny he gets. he’s producing without NHL experience. wonder what the young man will do with more NHL experience.

Look at Chicago. They've had great drafting lately (something Benning's good at) and keep trading players away only to have someone else step up. That could be us in the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd Luongo? Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Someone needs to get this guy a tissue for before his post game interviews. You could start counting the sniffles the same way we used to count Willie's twitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously?!?!?!?!?!??? I appreciate your optimism. I really do. However, I'm pretty sure I don't share such. Let me put it this way............... Boeser and Pettersson will be elite allstar players. My thinking is that they, along with Horvat, and possibly Juolevi ,will be the top payed players by the time we seriously contend. It seems the normal practice. All of Toews, Kane, Crosby and Malkin all got big pay raises before winning the big one. And even before their SC wins, they were playoff contenders. My guess is all of the old 2011 core will be gone by the time that happens. I'd really love for the Sedins and yes, even Edler to win the big one as Canucks, but can we really expect that to happen in 2018/2019. I mean, come on!
