Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

There are a bunch of 'old' regulars missing, it's true. I suspect the reasons are two-fold: 1) Cup hangover, and 2) and I'm pretty sure this is the big one... VOLUME. The influx has caused the number of posts on any given subject to just about triple. That's not a bad thing, but it does require muc...

That's just it Dan, this team is wholly under-performing. I feel like everyone on this team has shat that bed on at least one occasion this year, so far. That being said, I have full faith that we'll turn it around here in a few. The likes of Kes, Booth and Bur are going to start settling in. On a s...

Competing with Karlsson and Lidström for Norris, eh?

Looking forward to the next Olympics!

Speaking of agendas...

Are you saying that you think that Tanev is a defensive defencenmen? Not sure what we have in Tanev. Tanev's defense (positioning, composure and puck moving ability) has exceeded expectations, but can be better. Better than Ehrhoff's. He hasn't had much of an opportunity to show off offensive skill...

Not pulling what your doppelgänger did eh!

To me the flaw in the concept lets keep the guy for 40 games and then see...is this. If he looks no better after those 40 games his value is even less and while we all want Ballard to succeed at the same time we want a quality Power Forward, we're not kids any more we can't have every thing we want...

I hope Tanev is the real deal, or that MG can find us another defensive defenseman. Better yet - both. These guys & the goalie anchor the team.

MG has to be culpable somewhat. Its similar to 1995-1996 when Pat Quinn cleaned all of the foot soldiers off of the team and it was a spineless group. The result was a 1st round thumping at the hands of the Avs culminating with Claude Lemieux ragdolling and smacking Trevor Linden around. Kinda remi...

I don't know if it would make sense to trade Ballard away before he is given the chance to play in a more significant role on this team, or at the very least given an offseason where he wasn't rehabing from a surgery. If we trade him before camp his value is going to be too low to get the kind of re...
