I'd cheer for the Chinese national team before I cheer for Toronto, Calgary, or Edmonton.

Winnipeg has been my 2nd fave Cdn team even in their first version, and with the Moose, and I used to love the Nords whacking Les Habs.  (We should not have let the US steal that team from us.)

The rest can relieve goats.

Yup.  Hate that rat.  But that’s exactly the kind of guy wh9 wins.  Skilled, and mean.  But a heavier, equally skilled and mean guy will stomp tha5 rat.  Like Pronger.  

Yeah heavier. It always comes down to that. Linesman would have gotten killed if not for heavier support.

Well sort of. The salaries limit them to teams that don't have cap issues.

If you wanted quantity over quality....

 

Mitch to Seattle

I still want to know why Chychrun dropped so far? Wasn't he projected earlier that he was a possible first overall pick?

Ya he was number one very early on. 

And fell like a rock.

Always felt like OJ was the guy all the gms would speak highly of, hoping someone else would take him.

Yea man. Honestly I'd take Boston.

 

Most hated NHL teams:

Toronto

Calgary

Montreal

 

I don't hate Edmonton as much because they have sucked for so long and McDavid is so good.

Honestly, after how their fans treated the Sedins over their careers I have a very hard time respecting them or McDavid. If he goes and plays elsewhere then that might change.

Well some kind of psychology. Either that or they were no better than JB.

It was horrible when McDavid got crush popped and broken into the boards a couple years back.

Still wouldn't cheer for Boston, and as good as McDavid is, he's still a massive flopper who can't stop throwing tantrums, while Nurse and Smith are two of the biggest divers in the history of the game.  I have zero respect for those gutless cowards.

Well don't get me wrong I'm not cheering for him but it is fun watching him destroy other bluelines.

I wonder why?

-28 and 7 points.

Wow....he's paid what $1 million more than Hunt.

Pretty sure if you stack him against Poolman he's a better defenceman, and Poolman makes almost twice as much.

He's made some poor decisions off the ice. How many right handed D-men were out there this summer that were cheap?

Wait what? Isn't his contract $3m? When in the Abbotsford his cap hit is only $1.8m but that's not much use to Vancouver.

No I think it's a tactic. Eastern media pumping up over paid players saying how great theyd be for Vancouver.

Alf only drinks during the Holidays.  It’s always a holiday when retired!

Did you see the tribute they gave the Sedins on their last game? It was a love fest. Standing ovations...the works. Sedins always played their best against the oilers.

Flew in from Winnipeg with the wife for this one. Stopped by the Canucks store and will be rocking my new Hoglander jersey tonight !!!! 

.......So you're the one responsible for this cold weather !    (Enjoy the game - should be a good one!)

[Thraxious]

Nice to see a couple of wins the last two games.  Tonight is a real test however.  Not sure how it will turn out, could be springboard for them or a slide to the basement.  Be interesting to watch.
