Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Wow, second ugly loosing streak of the season and the knives are out. A week ago Green was receiving Adam's mention. It is not so much the loosing streak as it is the ugliness. Fifty years and three runs at the cup. I have been a never say die for that long. It begins to add up. It begins to feel a...

Crap, the Oil just scored 4 goals in 3:41 of the 3rd to take a 7-3 lead in Nashville... O my fuck, 8-3 now, Draisaitl with 3 goals in the third... 4 goals + assist in the game with 2 minutes left. Damn Nashville, what the hell kind of team melts down in the third like that! .... :look: Oh No!! Whom...

Blaaach!!!! Sounds of vomiting and retching and so on for fifty fucking years. Eventually I have to ask myself a question; is it worth it? It gets harder the older I get. I remember when we went against the 'Islanders' of Bossy et. al. King Richard. I remember. Trevor Linden in game seven of the SCF...

Remember, that is spelled DAMON, not DEMON! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Too soon to call the 2018 draft but Dahlin is still my #1. Toss up between Quinn and the Russian for me. Ditto Petterson and Cale. Pretty even imho. Either way those two picks have completely changed the picture in Vancouver. They are the main reasons this team has taken off. The off season additio...

Except as a fighter. Once again, Petey will not survive the playoffs without a minder, and just because his stats are down does not mean he cannot pot the odd goal when out there.

Do we have anyone on the farm who can fill his skates?

Nice win. Fucking Hawks. Nice to recall Burrows. Anyhow if the game of the Finals were decided by the same score and the Canucks won, do you return the Cup? Our goalie won it so....

We were lucky. The other team played great.

Fuck that. Two points baby!!!!!

Edler has been like a wall back there. Playing less minutes he seems to have found new commitment, but maybe I am full of shit.

Anyone notice Edler?

Congratulations on a win. We beat Nashville. I'm sorry, who?

Great, but until we acknowledge number 40 is our future for the next five years and build the club to show that understanding, I have my Canuck Doubts.

This kid is a major talent.

Protect him for ffs.

After last night with the Flames it is crystal clear we need a bodyguard out there. Lucic was treated as if he had crabs. No one goes near him and he has tons of room to use his declining skills. I was reminded of 2011 and how are talent was treated. Not again I pray. IF Simmons comes at the right p...

what a sloppy game between two crappy teams Fuck me. I got bitching for the team and they are not contenders yet. However, they are in first place last I looked. If their performance to date is not satisfying, I get it. I fucking hate watching them get abused by other players but they have shown a ...

You see how no one on Canucks goes near Lucic. He set up the first goal. We need a bodyguard for Petey. Someone like Semenko. Those of you old enough will remember him.

Pregame: Travis Green -- Elias Pettersson --- and Micheal Ferland on where he's at. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/video/pregame--green-vs-flames/t-277437438/c-5227301 Thanks for that clip. I do sense a certain amount of fear in Ferland. I do not blame him one bit. I am sure he wants to play as long a...

Is the Wayne Train seriously coming to Van? Looking over his numbers he sure looks like hes on a rapid decline. I have always liked the kid. :drink: He is slow and he is on the decline at this age. However he is also tough and we are going to need that quality if we make the playoffs. On the other ...

Sorry for being a late entry on this topic but I want to return to Trymakin. My primary memory of him is one game where he simply put his hands on a player and pushed, vertically mind you, the skater into the ice. Sheer strength. Would not hurt to have that and he is easily worth 3 million over thr...
