Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Was looking at Virtanen's stats in Utica so far. He's been down there for about a month. He's played 10 games and has 1 goal, couple assists and 8 mins in the box. Frankly this is brutal. The Canucks can spin this however they want but bottom line is he's not appearing to be progressing at all. Appe...

So after 13 games the Comets are last overall in the AHL with 7 points and struggling to score goals (sound familiar?). Chaput is the leading point-getter with 13 points, followed by Subban and Grenier (11 points). Curtis Valk leads team with 5 goals. Labate is leading PIM taker with 34. Hopefully J...

There is no point in sending Jake down for 2 games, only to have Willie put him back in the press box when he returns, game is against the Rangers and Willie will most likely dress the same lineup that beat them this past Tuesday. This whole Virtanen thing (sending to Utica for a 2 game conditionin...

There are still shots out there on twitter showing Kadri's skates leaving the ice, insinuating he forcefully jumped at Sedin's head. Sedin is in a very vulnerable position, in the process of taking a shot which the NHL obviously doesn't account for. There are multiple precendents where even though t...

With Edler and Tanev out, that leaves door open for Tryamkin and Stecher as a pairing. This could either be amazing or a train wreck. Guess we find out in a few hours. Predict a 3-2 Nucks win. Hansen, Bo and Stecher with the goals.

Cut TV altogether and go with Kodi. TV shows/movies are top quality. You can find most live sport at decent quality. Usually 720p is what I find NHL and NFL games stream at. Get an adblocker if you download Kodi on your computer.

not to soon to manage the Sedin's ice time. I heartily agree. The Canucks will need them more later than they need them now. X3 - They need Sedins truly healthy for 75+ games each this year. They can't be playing "with a knock" that's obviously keeping them well under 100%. If that means leaning he...

Top 10 pick (somewhere between 5-10). Sedins just a bit older, that more prone to injury and if one of the top 4 dmen get injured we can't expect any of the remaining to step into a top 4 role effectively. Only way we vie for a wildcard is if we remain relatively injury free and get career years fro...

I, too, am more of a lurker than contributor. I was much more active on the other CC before it shut down. But with the preseason hope and optimism I am drawn back in to the Corner boards to peek at a few debates from time to time and occasionally throw in my 2 cents. My hope and optimism may be smas...

Desjardins reminds me of a Tom Renney or Tom Watt . A good minor league or junior coach but he doesn't appear to have the chops to cut it in the bigs . What the hell are Prust and Dorsett doing on the ice in the last minute of a 2-2 game ? Yeah not sure I want Dorsett taking that shot with 16 secon...

I blame Gilbert Perrault. What could have been....

How does that Hall slash not get the attention of the NHL? He is a repeat offender to boot. In my mind that is worthy of at lest 2 games. Yeah that was a vicious slash to a guy's back. Can't believe he didn't even get a fine! And it looks like Jeremy Jacobs picked up the phone to Buttman on the Vol...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

If Kitchener gets knocked out of CHL playoffs, can Canucks call up Corrado? With Tanev out, he may be our next best RH shot d-man in the system. Would it be classified as an emergency call-up? I'm not sure of the status of calling a player from the CHL (even when season is over). Have him practice w...

Is Cory becoming a legitimate Vezina candidate yet? Tied for league lead in SO. Strong GAA and SV% ... If this continues for 8 of the next 10 games (assuming he gets 8 of next 10 starts), I would say he's a strong consideration.
