nah. let them grow some roots. competition should be only on the ice, the league should be working together to succeed off the ice. 

And a team can’t grow roots if they’re asked to expose some players? That doesn’t quite compute.

The NBA would still be in Vancouver if Stu Jackson hadn’t chosen to draft Bryant Reeves. 

He actually wasn't that bad a player before injuries did him in.  It was his monster contract + league mandated lower cap they (and Toronto) had to work with that did them in (caused them to have 'ham & eggers' on the bench - forcing the coach to ride the 'starting five' like a rented mule).

Wasn’t that bad of a player doesn’t equal a very good player. The whole scenario was a mess.

Dear god , Jim is looking for another 25 year old player. 

Hey Jim forget their age and worry about their skill level.

How about draft picks. Stick with what you are good at.

Pittsburgh: Sid for Erikkson, Baer, Sutter, and Gaudette

 

Vancouver: awww man is Sid 25?

Just horrible conditioning (not helped by no bench) plus already mentioned injuries.  Wasn't in a good situation (still put up respectable numbers - though that could prove that SOMEBODY has to score points even on the worst of teams).

This stat is kind of hard to believe after what happened last game.

 

 

We've found lots of different ways to lose this year.  We actually haven't given up many 3rd period leads.  Mostly because we haven't had the lead very much in the third period.   Also having played more games than other teams makes our offensive stats look better than they are.  But hey, it can always turn around.  Maybe.  (that's about all the positivity I can muster right now)  Go Canucks Go!

remember that they haven't had years or decades to generate organizational depth, and even though the expansion rules were kinder to them, they STILL built their entire organization from other teams' scraps and leftover ufas. there's been very little drafting and developing of their own talent.

Kinda like the idea of Lil'Things demoted to the garage, with Louie DePalma(in top form), harassing from his cage.

 

For the youngins', Taxi prob had the best laughs/good vibes of any lengthy tv series ever on the boob-tube.

[Taphouse Canuck]

Well at least we have established that it doesn't matter whether we score first or not.

 

One thing is for sure; if we leave McDavid unattended 10 feet out of the goal he will score.

It would be a nice development if Hamonic comes back and plays well here.  
 

He’s only 30 and could be a nice short / mid term past this year.

I had a handful of cocktails the other day and reactivated my sportsnet now account t for the game.    
First period I was jazzed.  Thought I made a great decision.   
Unfortunately, I was wrong. 
 

Anyway.  
Lose for Hughes?

Cower for Power?   
 

Also, go Canucks go.  Lol!

Or dress 7 defencemen, since they aren’t rolling four lines anyway. Or try moving one dman up to the wing. 

4th line getting sub 5 minutes

Why not try 11/7

[Chicken.]

All I want to see is the same intensity from the beginning of last game to the end. 

 

Please shoot lots and hit the net team, Oilers goalies suck

Canucks need to whip the Greasers.....

 

I don't want to see a bunch of Edmontonians out celebrating in their track suits / Alberta formal wear like they normally do after victories....
