Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

This is true. He does bleed green and blue and heart can carry a mediocre player much farther than skill without heart. That said, Lloyd indicated that Stetchers' analytics are in line with a #4/5 on a good team...this i would love to see in some sort of verfiable format. The eye test tells me that...

Holy fuck Lloyd you need to stay out of the giggle jar more than i do even. No offense but i pretty well disagree with your assessment of tiny troy word for word. Hes fucking brutal defensively and coughs up more pucks than any dman Ive seen in canucks colours in a long time. He is consistently pus...

I think Stecher has a bit of an identity problem on this board. People see him as an offensive defenseman who hasn't figured out a way to put up points reliably, but that's not what he is. His under-rated smarts, quickness, excellent positioning, top notch gap control, and tireless work ethic, combi...

Oh the pundits! . . . Hockey "experts" are amazing beings, how someone can think we are currently building for a run is beyond me. We are trying to make the playoffs, which I have no issue with at all. In the meantime our roster turnover has been unreal and we are putting a lot of effort into devel...

Since it's summer and everyone goes crazy, here, I'll show you crazy; I would like to see the league return to 2 year EL. I would like to see the league put a maximum term of 5 years on all contracts,(no home town extra year). I would like to see the league put a max hard cap of 8 million per year,...

Sooo, 3rd-line center with sub-50% FO and 14 goals/34 points is asking for $4.5 million . Again, maybe the Sutter contract ain't that bad? :drink: It was always a reasonable deal. Not a bargain by any stretch, but much better than trading for a guy, only to lose him as a UFA looking for a competiti...

I have no problem giving up picks for players who are just making their way into the league. In a cap world, the early, improving, and cost controlled years of a career are the most valuable from a cost/benefit perspective. Typically, the real crime with giving up picks is losing out on those years....

Meanwhile... the Canucks #113 out of the 122 teams, second last to the leaves in the NHL. Hmph.

Oilers take the draft lottery and continue their quest to amass the maximum possible number of first overall picks without a winning record.

Apparently threatening Chris and his wife doesn't work, so I'm all out of ideas.

I also found this new home through that topic on Calpuke -- yes, I also feel dirty -- but for the first time Calpuke has now served an actual purpose beyond being a laughing stock for the rest of the hockey world. :eh: I was an on-and-off type of Canuck Central poster for roughly the last decade: mo...
