Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Watching Johnny Hockey pout, complain and whine throughout this series was embarrassing. He should be ashamed of himself. He looked frustrated, dejected, and had no second gear to suck it up and push through. He quit on so many plays throughout the series. He just stopped trying at times and acted l...

Now he intrigues me. Size, speed, skating, skill, points. Plays all three forward positions and draws Rick Nash comparisons. Ranked best professional prospect? Why is he not ranked higher?

And to think the Avs have the 4th overall pick and 16th overall pick

They are for real. And ya, they are going to add some good pieces.

I’m so happy.

This game isn’t even close. Flames are so out classed.

I am a little bit concerned about Free Agency this coming summer with Elmer having a lot of cap space. This team can ill afford another Eriksson type blunder. I hope there is truth to the Aquilinis looking to bring in an experienced hockey guy in a President of Hockey Operations position. They need...

Full melt down on Cowpuke. They want everyone traded, I mean everyone. Johnny a whiner, spends too much time complaining. No heart. Afraid to get hit. Monahan too slow, not a gamer. Avoids contact. Taychook too slow for the playoffs. Great in the regular season but disappears when the speed and int...

ESQ There are questions around that whole episode. They love him as a player but the question marks are really personality based. The thing is if they extend Markstrom 4-5 years Demko won't play second fiddle that long. At some point they know they have to move on from one. The plan until this seaso...

Bad move to keep Marky over Demko. The quirky dude is in the same age group as our core, he's shown his improving game. Dare I say, his development has been very smooth and quick for a goalie. Marky had one good year and is nearing the age where all goalies take a nosedive in every category, while ...

Which teams are desperate for goalies? Change that to rookie goalie. I think a number of teams need a proven number one but aren’t in a position to gamble with an unproven guy. I’m thinking Calgary here. Florida, Philly, Detroit, Rangers, Anaheim, Edmonton, Ottawa, minny, Chicago, maybe, Buffalo, N...

Tuna is always right. He must called for a leaves loss tonight.

With regards to goaltending, what I was told, was that the Canucks are very high on DiPietro. They see him as the goalie of the future. They are also very high on Jake Kielly and think 2-3 years working with him will help him elevate his game with the potential to be a starter in the NHL. Now they’r...

Was the officiating bad?

Leaf fans are an embarrassment to mankind!

Every. Single. Time. Leaves. Lose.

"We lost because of the crooked refereeing!"

Do you think they lost because they gave up 5 goals or was the officiating really that bad again?

Is Demko a flake in a negative way or a David Booth "weird dude" kind of way?

Ya, I think in a weird SoCal kinda way.

I’ve heard rumblings about his personality for the last couple of years. Not really sure exactly what it is. I do know with the emergence of Markstrom there is a school of thought that you sell high on Demko.
