[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Ottawa Senators | April 22, 7 p.m. | SNP, RDS2

[xereau]

As crazy as it sounds, this series is our beachhead. If we can go 4-0, we'll be at ~40% chance of making the playoffs.

It's unlikely, but things could still get very interesting.

I always thought the mid 2000s group was decent.

 

Bieksa, Bourdon, Edler, Ohlund and Cooke (end of careers), Hansen, Kesler, Raymond, Sedin, Sedin (also out of window), Grabner, Rypien, Schneider.

 

Decent.

Decent for sure ... that's an awfully long period of drafting though.   11 years and three GMs plus Keenan.  

 

Check this bunch of beauties out ... four years of Milford drafting, 10,000plus NHL games, 6 of 9 played in the NHL from 1981 alone ...

78 Bill Derlargo  

   Curt Fraser 

   Stan Smyl

 

79  Rick Vaive

     Bill Ashton

     Dirk Graham

 

80 Rick Lanz

    Doug Lidster

    Patrick Sundstrom

 

81 Garth Butcher 

    Peter Skriko

 

Thats 1/2 a solid defense drafted right there, a multiple 50 goal scorer in Vaive, and two other highly skilled forwards in the Streak and Sundstrom, one of best captains we've ever had in Smyl, some of the best support players ever in Fraser and i left out the AG/McaAn types.    Think taking four of JBs best drafts could one day surpass this, but we won't know for another decade at least.

The Montreal win yesterday is a killer

 

seems like Tofu is determined to stick it to us this season

Milford also traded a 2nd round pick for a 22 year old Thomas Gradin.  I mean forget what Gradin did for the Canucks on the ice.  As a scout, he helped in the drafting of the Sedins, Edler & I think Ohlund.  Burke will tell you it was Gradin that convinced him to go 'all in' for the Sedins.  Jeebus, Gradin's mother babysat Naslund as a child lol!  (true story!)

I wish hockey was still a bit more physical..

 

Everytime i see a guy go into boards never take body.. try to go for puck it makes me yearn for old times

 

When you go into boards atleast a good bump.. doesn't have to be heavy hit just a bump would suffice.. 

Every time I see a flyby instead of a hit a little part of me dies inside.

You need your own thread pinned in “Current Canucks” titled “Lower Deck” to keep track of gold like this

Listening to SN650 (Rintoul), and they're talking about a possible trade (idea anyway):

 

to BUF - Tkachuk, Valimaki and a 1st

to CGY - Eichel

 

Very interesting,

I would think Ottawa would want to make an offer if Tkatpuke is on the table. But I hope Calgary keeps him, imo he's at the heart of their lousy team culture.

Very interesting,

Buffalo has stated they want 4 "First round caliber" picks/players. 

Unless Calgary adds, I think other teams like LA can offer better deals.

Canucks have to win all 4 games of this Senators series in order to have a shot at making the playoffs. No pressure
