Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

It would be nice to get both Lockwood and Madden signed so they can play in Utica next year to go along with Lind and The Man Child. It seems the vast majority of our hope is already in the NHL. The cupboards are pretty bare in Utica. Benning was hoping to know of Will Lockwood's decision this week...

Eriksson is untradeable. Almost all of the dozens/hundreds of players this has been said about over the decades... got traded. Hell, someone here said that about Guddy the Penguin. It's poppycock... Once we pay that stupid July 1st bonus for the bump he is very tradeable. Won't he be $2 mil in real...

Loui the healthy scratch, Benning says they will discuss where he fits in to the future lineup in the off-season. I give full credit to blob for first raising the possibility, but I could see him retiring. Especially after learning where he fits in this summer - I think he's far too proud to go to ...

NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety NY Rangers’ Chris Kreider has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Elbowing Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson. 9:40 AM - Mar 14, 2019 Probably has that much in change on the floor of his car. ffs Is that enough to get him marked as a repeat offen...

The Palmu and Dahlen lack of development could be weighing on Lockwood's mind. Utica might be getting a reputation for not being the best spot for rookies. Can't really blame him for choosing college if that is his impression. I am not buying into the "Utica can't develop players" Schtickt that is ...

Carol Schram reports that Madden is making noise that he wants to turn pro this year when his season is done. Benning has yet to respond but you would think he would take a similar position as with Lockwood. We don’t think you are ready for the NHL. So we will sign you on Utica to finish the year t...

As Edler, the current elder of the team, recently reached the 800 game mark, I figured it could be worthwhile to revisit Most games played as a Canuck: Rk Player……………….. GP _1 Henrik Sedin_____ 1330 _2 Daniel Sedin_____ 1306 _3 Trevor Linden____ 1140 _4 Stan Smyl________ 896 _5 Markus Näslund___ 88...

Lumme is my favourite on that list. He had a leaning back, dippsy-doodle skating style that was awesome.

Yeah, funny how Jyrki "Jerky" Lumme never became a power skating coach after his NHL days. But, I bet he would have excelled at that CBC NHL player/Figure skating show a few years back.

Starting to look pretty grim for us... I say we need minimum 13 wins out of last games... I hope Green can keep them motivated by to keep competing every night. I hope he can give them a system where we either 1) don't turn it over in the neutral zone for a 2 on 1, or 2) give strong puck support to...

As an asside; I’d tell Loui to look for a home in Utica during the summer and look into schools for his kids. Maybe his wife can join a quilting bee or learn to make jam. This is a totally awesome post that should be saved, gilded in gold, and noted as one of the best posts ever. https://orig00.dev...

Wids mentioned it in the GDT, but, what do people think about Lockwood getting some games in this year? He's available the same day Hghes is (obviously).

The comedy continues, Sens fire the coach.

That sees a bit drastic, given the turnover of players. Maybe they tried to trade their coach to the City for a new arena, and it failed....

anyone continuing to defend these players and these moves is either a troll or a retard. it's really not as bad as you make it sound. Blob is clearly doing some "retarded trolling" here... Blob’s posts lack clarity when he’s angry posting. It’s similar to Tourette’s Curious, do you 2 have each othe...

Rick Dhaliwal is reporting the Edler camp is looking for a FOUR year deal. Just reporting what I just heard. If it was cheap, I might consider it. Nah!!!! give him a little more for three and say take it or leave it. We're good on defense, right 2 years max 3 years, and no trade protection, so we c...
