Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

A paean inspired by the second hat-trick in as many games. And a regret. God I love Burrows. I remember about a month or two before Vigneault put that line together, I was thinking, "Damn, why don't they try Burrows with the twins? He's got good hands, he gets open, he goes to the net..." and in spi...

Did you really? wow.

It's like you got it off our collective chests. And straight to the bald dome of the man himself. I owe you a beer; we all do.

Let me assure you from experience that it's quite possible to live here and love the city and still heartily dislike the leaves :p

What's not to like about Kesler? The guy gives 100% every shift, has wheels, can score, defensively solid. I dont' get how anyone can't like Kesler. I didn't say I didn't like or appreciate him, I just said I'm not a fan. I know what he's contributing (though I will say I think he's really only com...

I missmissmiss Ohlund. I know why Gillis had to let him go, and I like our current defense a lot, but he's got great character.

Notice what Kesler said there: "We basically win by outworking teams..." That is an incredibly heartening thing to hear; compare it to what the Canucks, for all their talent, were like back in the mid-2000s. I'm still not a huge Kesler fan, but do respect him, and he's starting to really make his ma...

I think the team will be okay, and I think Henrik will continue to score and set up goals. I recall the All-Star game a few years back, for instance, when Henrik was there on his own, and he fit in well. We've grown used to thinking of the twins as a unit, but they are individuals. I even think I ca...

The notion of the mutable online text has been discussed here before. See also:

you are complicating things What, you think the delivery and constant re-filtering of internet news is somehow simple ? My point -- if for some reason you missed it -- is that you need to realize how complicated it can be. Nothing "windy" about this or about what I said in my previous point; on the...

But if you look at the timestamp on the article and posts you'll see that Tciso at least has no excuse. Which makes the whole thing rather fishy. And anyway, why should I believe you guys? :) In all seriousness, though, this is the problem with internet sources. It's like the cbc posters who bitch b...

Well, except for the paragraph that reads New Dallas coach Marc Crawford certainly knows what he's getting, having coached Auld for several seasons in Vancouver. Auld broke into the NHL under Crawford in 2001-02 and played in four playoff games over the next two seasons. He was the club's MVP in 200...

Was it so "unfamiliar" that anyone didn't know what national team I was talking about? That's not the sense of "familiar" that's in that definition. "Familiar" in that sense means "everyday," not "readily recognizable." :) The sense you are now trying to claim for the term is not the sense in which...

I did, did I? http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/colloquial None of those definitions seems to cast any light on your original intention. What is this "ordinary or familiar usage" of "Nazi"? Come to think of it, did you even read these definitions? or did you just throw up the first "dictionary...

If I offended anyone, too damn bad. Take your pc bullsh*t & shove it up your ass. You didn't offend me. I just think you're an idiot, for the following reasons: 1) As Cookie says (and he should know, living where he does), you need a history lesson. 2) You misused "colloquialism." In fact, judging ...

A "colloquialism"? You're a fool.
