Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

The main difference in Swden's approach compared to most other countries can be seen as threefold: 1) Measures should be sustainable over time (more specifically a two to three year period). This means a hard lockdown is out of the question. 2) Recommendations instead of legislation. There is a hig...

While Baertschi cleared waivers twice last year (maybe three times), the fact that his contract is done after this season makes considerable difference in terms of whether its movable. I would think that his performance in the AHL last year would have translated into something pretty similar to what...

RIP RBG

And this Health-health tradeoff point can be made more simply. Do you think there would be excess deaths compared to last year if there was no covid but you shut down or limited “voluntary” health procedures (diagnostic and preventative), people were discouraged from seeking medical treatment, face ...

Elias Pettersson will be staying in Vancouver for the offseason. Not going back to Sweden. If true, I'm surprised. I'm hoping there might be more to it. Something like the Canucks are planning on having safe, practicing facilities available to their players all the way to training camp. https://twi...

Did you read this part of the medpagetoday.com article you linked to? Several groups with different agendas have been working to undermine public confidence in the credibility of the COVID-19 death count in the U.S. Their efforts will intensify as the numbers continue to rise. The death count is a ...

The numbers are rising rapidly. It’s a dumb poll question. One might say yes because they...

There's a lot of moaning about "losing Demko for nothing" or "losing Markstrom for nothing." That's what the expansion draft does. It means you lose a decent player for nothing. Unless your team is crap. Getting something for Demko means that we lost another player for nothing. (We also don't know y...

How does Vegas manage to outnumber us on pucks shorthanded? It's weird... Because they send one hard at the puck at all times and then provide support. Canucks are spread like a zone, when Vegas overpursuit means they only need a single player on the weak side. That and the entry need to be fixed. ...

You did such a good job framing this topic, Corn, I thought I'd bump it with a response. I think that one of the worst trends in American society (and I think its true in Canada as well) is the growing expectation that non-political entities should be engaged in political things. There are a lot of ...

Toffoli looks laboured out there right now. He wasn’t a good skater to begin with but now he looks slooooow. If that injury is a high ankle sprain it might be smarter to let him walk. Chris Higgins was never the same after he had that high ankle sprain when he was about 30. There’s been a few other...

Tough game. By and large, the Canucks good players played well and the Canucks poorer players played poorly. I thought that the play and chances were relatively even with both sides tilting the ice for time periods. The Canucks failed to throw a knock out punch when they had the chance (two late 2d ...

Does anyone really think Trump or his enablers will listen? Listen to what? Respond how? What's the clear message and demand? Kane said human rights more important than sports. A milquetoast statement unobjectionable on its own yet vapid in terms of diagnosing a problem or setting forth a course of...

His mouth made him money.

We he already kneeled and sucked so i guess he was only missing the swallow

But the kneeling thing got him a multi-million dollar contract with Nike. That's pretty cynical there UW, to think that he took a knee figuring he would get a payday out of it. I didn't say he kneeled figuring to get a payday. I said kneeling led to a payday that he wouldn't have otherwise received...
