Nuxfanabroad Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Can't believe the breakthrough of our 2018 drafted youth! Acceptance is VERY 2014-2017'ish. Outdated notion. Soon the league will have to accept that we are Back in BLACK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatoes11 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Everyone should be okay with the picks as long as they don’t go completely off the board. The only thing you can do is research and due diligence. As long as they dotted theirs i’s and the statistics are sound you can’t complain. I wasn’t old enough to follow the Nedved draft closely but a quick search would suggest that he was the safest and right pick. I mean you can’t 100% say that Jagr would have the same instant hall of famer career with us, without Lemieux rubbing off on him. I mean Neely learned jack from us and became a superstar after he left or crap hole organization. For all we know, Lemieux would have turned Nedved into Federov and we would have turned Jagr into Jake Virtanen or Hunter Shinkaruk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back then Quinn said during interviews they asked Nedved who he thought was the best player in the draft. He said hands down Jagr, he's an incredible talent. Quinn thought he was just being modest and liked that so he drafted Nedved. As we all know now, Nedved wasn't being modest he was simply being honest. I don't think any coach could have misused Jagr. He simply had that kind of talent and skill that would come through. Much like Pettersson this year. I certainly didn't expect Petey to be as effective as he's been from the get go. But guys with that kind of innate talent it just shines through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The Canucks picked Nedved because he was already over here in North America; while Jagr was stuck in Czechoslovakia, behind the iron curtain, with no idea as to when or if he would be allowed to leave for the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 House $$$ boys. We either have a surprising PO appearance, breakthrough season(w/youth), or more good pick-slots for scouts, Brackett & JB to work their larcenous magic. I'm just gonna enjoy watching our young crew gain experience. Brilliant IF they can play crucial games in March!(yr ahead of expected sched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Sure hope all us diehards can maintain faith in JB & the team. As we lose out(mostly, it's for the best) these last few games, let's not let the HFHater-types take away from the progress that's obviously been made. It's almost impossible to restock cupboards & surge up the standings, simultaneously. After this hometown draft, the first task should be virtually fulfilled, the latter we'll be knocking down, starting Oct 2019. Acceptance & patience folks!

This league is a rigged deck, so it won't surprise me a bit. They tried to shag us over last yr, but we wound up with (probably) the best kid. I trust JB..pickin' top-10, he surely should grab a gem. The team had some real nice stretches this season, & possibly was a 90+ pt rising force, if it weren't for the usual injuries. I think the hierarchy is learning to surround our youth with the requisite size/grit, & we'll start rolling with a younger, grittier, speedier version. It's a nice bonus that we should be landing another top prospect(or more) in June. The injuries let us stealthily fall back for one last time. Ha..posted this in April, 2018 - but it fits the end of this yr as well(almost to a T). Next yr the ascent surely begins! :^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 On the Lu recapture-thing, this acceptance message prob fits for some. It also fits thread titles like 'Two Rulebooks' & 'Burns My Bacon'. One's pov, I s'pose?.. Too many probs in this tired old world, to waste time on how Yank interests have ruined what was a great league. **************************** At the end of the day, our turnaround really got rolling when we obtained Lu. His top-level yrs were ultimately worth this petty league slight..(as if we Nucks-backers MUST accept the bad with any good!). Also pleased we could turn our terrific tandem(Lu & Schneids) into two brilliant, younger assets. I'd like to think with our burgeoning young cast(oodles of arriving ELC's) we wouldn't have really needed every $ of cap anyways. Some consolation..GCG!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I accept this recapture penalty of 3 million dollars than the final year of 8 million dollars. Blessing in disguise. No way Luongo get away with the LTIR thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetliner Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think part of the reason why fans come on this board is to vent their frustration and "non-acceptance" of our team's lack of success no need to take it personally there are alot of positive posts on this board too! we are all humans and humans have emotions go canucks go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was on team tank, with greed for another core player, now I feel and think Team Tank members are now happy moving forward too support making the playoffs from this point on. So I don’t see as much battling and negativity between posters as there has been the last few years. Of coarse posters will have opinions and speculation on topics which I enjoy reading. Im just saying the death of team tank will effect alot of the daily game by game negativity. Wins will be all positives and playoffs games posters will explode in delight.

Of course the league/Bettman are akin to Monsanto product, as they keep us collectively-darkened like mushroom farms in Langley! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rich are only getting richer, and the middle class is now forced to have two highly educated professionals working at what used to be high end jobs, just to buy a bungalow in North Vancouver. Businesses & individuals have so much wealth that over the years patronage crept into things and the economy is corrupt. Built to as you say make the rich richer. It shouldn't be this difficult to make a good living, if you're willing to work hard, in some of the richest countries in human history. Though I have to say I've lived in a few countries, and we're lucky to call Canada home. So I try not to complain about it. Happy Birthday Canada.

But if the team struggles, I got a feeling CDC gonna get real ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
