Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

Many of you are acting like he's being accused of saying n****r back in the 30's. I was a child of the 80's knowing this to be probably the only word I shouldn't say. This isn't a new thing. If you are calling a black man a n****r in the year 2009 I have no sympathy for whatever is brought on you.

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO

If Kovalchuck isn't good enough for one of the worst team in the NHL, why Is he good for us?!?? Because we're so desperate to see Loui gone? (I'd rather just waive him and not take on another anchor.) sure. but if we are swapping boat anchors, make sure you don't get a heavier anchor. Is the extra ...

Re: Trade rumours & armchair pipe dreams 19-20 Sponsored by SKYO

I have no idea why the Canucks would get rid of depth for picks considering where they are in the standings. Stecher had a mediocre game, but so did many others. He is still and NHL level Dman. One injury to Tanev or Myers and people will be complaining endlessly if he were traded away. Stecher doe...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020

+1,let's see where we're at in 10 - 20 games Seems to be how last season ended for him. So can a team neutralize a player like EP so easily with scouting tape/positioning and/or blanket coverage? Its one of the more interesting atory lines early this season along with how fan-fuckin-tastic Marky is...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020

Why not see if fantenberger steals his job because its not as far fetched as some might think Isn't this going to happen by default just by signing Fantenberger to the team and having a pre-season? Why actively try and get rid of Stetcher? (just chiming in, I'm on Blob's side of not understanding t...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 2019-2020

But last season he was on the top pair for significant chunks of time, and he was way out of his depth. Meanwhile some fancy-stats darlings are trying to convince you that he's the best defencemen the Canucks have. Wasn't he on the top pair because our D was bad and often injured? We've improved ou...

Re: Training Camp - 2019

That's a solid post right there, why not become a regular poster Raile. We need fresh blood around here! I'll try. I don't have a lot of free time but I'm sure when the season starts I'll be more inclined to make time 8-) Now tell me, why did you spend all those years in the UK pal? Wouldn't mind h...

Thats what i was hoping to hear.
This is along the lines of what I was saying in the other thread. I wanted to hear that it's more than just that other teams caught wind of him. Conditioning will be fixed.

Re: Training Camp - 2019

Alright here goes, that lurker email has brought me out of the shadows as I've been lurking forever. One thing that has me slightly concerned is if Pettersson comes back and plays like he did after the all-star break, not before it. We've pretty much decided to make a big push for playoffs, largely ...
