Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Props to Milstein for getting ahead of this and acknowledging the decision process. I think Milstein gets props for signing a 30-point winger to a $20 mil contract. He (or whoever) didn't do the team or the player any favors ... Well, maybe made the signing slightly less embarrassing for Rutherford...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

So how poorly a job did Coach Green do? And will the NHL re evaluate his work in Vancouver and might we see him coaching in the NHL again sometime soon? And I agree with your comments about player evaluation accuracy while playing under essentially a pond hockey system, or lack of system... No, I p...

Hmm, was it obvious? The guy has a career high of 32 points, I think what you see is what you get.

Blob, your thoughts? Any suggested nicknames for ol 27-pointer Mikheyev?

You know the Dude is licking his lips about a potential wildcard appearance so he can shart out his #benningbuilt fecal matter everywhere. Two home games!!! Two home games!!! Start the breakdancing, high fives and back slapping for this juggernaut of a team. He used to play bocce ball with Fredo Aq...

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"

You’re approaching Gomer107 status here amigo. The back and forth is great but you can pick your diaper in your own lane. I'm with the Blob here, Dude. RNH got 35 points in his contract year, and got paid accordingly. He was a clear second liner. Now he's got 13 ES points and 20 PP points, to Bo's ...

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"

Welp, I guess JR and Allvin effectively chose Miller over Bo.

I said all last season that the Miller decision would define the franchise moving forward.


How far apart are they? $1.5m or less? Anyone think signing Mikheyev for 4 years was a mistake? Blob, your thoughts?

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Boeser is still worth at least a 2nd IMO, even with his crappy play of late. (30 goal, 30 assist career pace makes him a bounce-back candidate) So Lucic + sweetener + 2nd for Boeser? (or equivalent) Or an expanded deal. How about Greenway + 3rd for Brock,,, send him home to Minny. :D I don't think ...

Re: Trade Rumours & Armchair Pipe Dreams 22-23 Sponsored by SKYO

Lol there’s no way the Flames are trading one of their best D who’s young and on a good contract, for Boeser, regardless of Milan is included. I could see them offering Lucic, and a 2nd and a 3rd, maybe, or a B prospect instead of the 3rd. Boeser has been bad this year, like awful. He adds nothing ...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Yes 50 point wingers who can play up and down the lineup, have speed, play good defence, kill penalties and drive play don’t deserve 4.75 million. Nope not at all. :lol: Lol Mikheyev's career best is 32 points and you're fine with paying him $4.75m :lol: :lol: What's he going to return in a trade? ...

Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23

Blame Mikheyev for everything. Lol the guy is on a good contract for what he brings. You want to blame someone for the team not having enough money to sign Bo, blame your idol James Elmer Benning. Myers, OEL, Garland, Pearson are signed to bloated awful deals and they all came here courtesy of one ...

This team does not need a complete rebuild but it does need a major overhaul in 3 areas.

1 - D
2 - PK
3 - team leadership and toughness
Disagree, they need Goaltending.

If demko was even remotely close to his average, we'd be 1st in the Pacific.

Oh right, another player we can't keep because JR signed Mikheyev.

Well sure, but how many of the opening week and a half losses were to bad teams? Flyers and BJs?

I remember one whiner complaining pretty heavily about the brilliant Micheyev signing. Went so far as to give him a pet name. Would someone wipe the egg off his chubby little face? :lol: It’s all running into his sweaty neckbeard. :shock: Lol of course Mikheyev was a bad signing, he's a 54 point pa...
