Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Just a random thought... What if a penalty didn't have to be 2 minutes? What if Van Massen had the ability to call a 1 minute penalty for tripping in that spot? or even a 30 seconds power play in OT with an offensive faceoff? That way he's not really impacting the outcome of the game persay - hes ju...

oK - i wanna hYpe uP Hodgson a bit here... Kesler scored 41 goals down the middle laSt season - eTching his name into the Canucks History Books Hank is handSdown the beSt centre of Ice the franchiSe has eveR haD - him & his bro aRe the Canucks record bookS Cody Hodgson is the next wAve of Canucks of...

I think Ohlund & Jovo hit the all-star game in their peak here... I dont understand why people hate the weekend so much. The players take it lightly, so what? Maybe the fans should too. As for Coho - Love it. When the pick the all-star teams is all about public relations - but for the rookie team it...

I like the trade for Calgary. #13 fit was a good fit and will be again - much like Tanguay he never shoulda left.

As a Nucks fan I like the prospect of a Canadian team slipping into the 8 hole - Vancouver-Calgary series' are always #epic #instantclassics

I also think Bourque will thrive in MontreaL.

I actually think the other 2 guys mentioned in that clip are bigger weasels - Price & Sekaras... or maybe insects or mosquito's would be a better way to describe them.

So... I open The Province sports page today, and a Tony Gallagher puff piece catches my eye! I dont know if anybody from this thread read it or not - http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Lose+cynicism+Canucks+fans/5843547/story.html - But as im reading it I cant help but wonder if maybe he was cruising...

I agree with basically all of the sentiments in this thread. However... SNP basically existing solely to cover the Canucks My feeling, and what the general consensus in this thread so far seems to be, is that SNP's coverage isn't actually all that bad. I think Shorthouse is great and a worthy succe...

Great post Mondi. I commend you for saying what i think most of us are feeling. The sports media in this town is absurd when it comes to the Canucks. They dont speak for the hockey club, they dont speak for the fans, they speak for themselves. Anytime anybody voices any displeasure with their covera...

Or rather, until the Oilers mature.

One more thing ill add about the Booth trade... If there is nothing else in the works, im a little disappointed by one aspect of the trade. For the most part, every player signed by the Canucks has earned his money the hard way. Twins, Kes, Bieksa, Lu etc... But 2 guys, Ballard & Booth, come here as...

Im looking forward to see this All-American line in action. If it pans out the way we hope, the USA could be a scary team come Olympic time. (if they aren't already) I just want to touch on the Weber / Turris rumours. Weber is the last piece in the Canuck Puzzle. He is, in my opinion, the best BC bo...

Be realistic here, Sedins Burrows Higgins Kes Mule Manny CoHo Hansen Volpatti Lappy Wiese/Oreo (Raymond IR long-term) and then Sturm. He's maybe the 14th forward - in my opinion - to add depth if injuries hit. He practices with the team, hones his skills, collects a paycheck, and hopes to get a cont...

I love Don Cherry. <3

Ok first off, im in the Don Cherry camp that this suspension BS is just that- BS. I believe most of these "headshots" are just media made monsters. Anytime you play it back in super slow motion - from 5 different camera angles - and then play it on a loop broadcast over 3-5 major networks - its gonn...

“He’s not trying to go in there and make a play. He’s trying to hurt one of our players. To us that’s pretty obvious."
