Re: “I was wrong about this player”

Nice thread. Steve Kariya for me. Think he either had a good training camp or some nice article written about him and combined with his namesake, I was convinced he was going to be a steal for the Canucks! This also came at a time where I was still in denial that Bure-Mogilny wasn't working out so t...

Re: Past Canuck Players

The didnt call him Captain Invisible because he was a force :lol: He definitely seemed like the type that struggled too much with confidence and was brutally honest with the fans. Different game and expectations back then and I remember the underwhelming playoffs but looking at it objectively, he w...

Re: Past Canuck Players

Now, it's no secret that none of our top line guys showed up consistently in the playoffs back then. Naslund did more than I thought, he was a point per game guy in 2003, and then better than that in 2004 without Bert. Indeed. Naslund never had a dominant stretch in the playoffs to mirror his domin...

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"

Even though I don't listen to TEAM, that's still sad = I was hoping TSN would hang on to break Rogers' awful media exclusivity deal and go back to proper media competition, but instead its a race to the bottom with worse coverage, more centralized/Toronto media sucking all the air out of the room. ...

Very deflating hit from Reeves. Canucks need to capitalize but even if they don’t I think this is a potential turning point

At what point is it not an overreaction to join the #KeepDemko movement? :lol:

All kidding aside these 3 games have been unbelievable. As amazing as Markstrom has been, you have to think this is making management think.

Re: GDT: R2/G7 Sep 4 Vancouver - Vegas 6:00 Snet - Game Seven!

Um... wow. Best save in recent memory. Am liking Boeser’s game lately. Not much more you could have asked for there. Just an unreal effort from Lehner.

Re: GDT: R2/G7 Sep 4 Vancouver - Vegas 6:00 Snet - Game Seven!

It’s hard to remember a time I have seen the Canucks so thoroughly dominated. Vegas has definitely mastered shutting down the Canucks.... I’ve never been a big believer in their team but the way they can completely suffocate the Canucks is impressive. Here’s hoping the Canucks can pick up the pace a...

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"

Not surprised to see the usual suspects completely derailing this thread. Would expect nothing less. What a sad way to spend your time. On another note pretty impressed by the way 1040 has been handling the situation and outpouring of support from the callers. Regardless of what you thought of Botch...

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"

We gripe often about the media and indeed Botchford had a distinct style which many found grating, others entertaining, but any way you slice it this is tragic news. Way too young and seemed to be in good shape. Just reminds you of the frailty of life. Like many I didn’t always agree with his opinio...

Re: 2018-2019 Playoffs - Round 1

Flames in 5 - Avs are a mystery. Top line has faded from a dominant start. Question Rantanens status. Sharks in 6 - Don’t trust the Knights this year Preds in 7 - Preds and Jets have really underwhelmed this year. Don’t trust the Preds but don’t think the Stars have enough depth Jets in 6 - It’s the...

Re: GDT: April 6/19 Canucks @ Blues 1:00pm

Did Schaller manager to block Hughes first career goal? Still waiting to see the replay on that one. That would be mighty impressive! Just when you thought he couldn’t suck more! :lol:

Re: The 2017 NHL Entry Draft

It also speaks to a great deal of patience (or in Benning's case, confidence in his job security), since it's hard to see how this kid could be ready for the NHL in less than two years. Might seem like a great pick in 2020, but doesn't really work with Doc's timeline . Pettersson and Dahlen will jo...
