Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I’m beginning to think we should have kept Toffoli.


And Marx.

So, after Skoda threatened to pull out the IIHF finally got their act together and decided that the tournament will not be held in Belarus. They still haven't announced where it will be held instead though. Latvia has said they can host the entire thing, but they then want some financial guarantees ...

Originally posted by me in the Canucks Young Guns thread on Mon Jan 18, 2021 10:56 am While I would love to see the World Championships this year in Riga while I'm in town, I really don't see it happening so long as the shit-show in Minsk continues. The IIHF is in a bit of a bind - which nation do ...

Copying some stuff that was already posted about the tournament to this thread... This was originally posted by me in the Canuck Young Guns thread on Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:35 pm Apparently the season ends Feb 28 with the playoffs done by Apr 30 at the latest. Should he be selected to represent team rus...

Anyone who follows Utica religiously?

Björklöven just added two North Americans mid season.

One of them is this guy, Francis Perron:


Any opinions on that guy?


The other one is TJ Brown, with 365 NHL games under his belt, mostly Tampa but also Ducks and Wild.

Any comments?

Quite possibly on Donny’s mind right now:

How fitting that one of trump's last acts is to pardon a guy who swindled his followers. :D The record for pardons still held by Trump's predecessor. Over 20% of whom had conviction including some level of violence. I don't really care for the whole pardoning thing, regardless of which president it...

*figuratively...of course

I certainly hope so; Stormy’s description was not flattering...

Probably the best speech of his entire presidency. New speech writer?

Imagine if he had held this speech right after the outcome of the election was reported... or even on Jan 6th...

No, "mangia pane" literally means "eat bread", so more a bread eater than a baker.

Maybe Hoagie needs to watch his back...

You don’t no that! Double negatives aside, check out this prediction... Canucks edge Flames in a low-scoring physical affair. Nothing would be better for the team moving forward. They desperately need to tighten their shit up and start taking the body. It’s not really in their DNA. It’s a pretty ti...

Rob Williams @RobTheHockeyGuy TSN guys not loving the Canucks chances in the North Division. Only one person picked them to make the playoffs and only Ottawa finished worse overall. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErlRqLMUYAEHXXt?format=jpg&name=small 7:39 PM · Jan 12, 2021 My prediction: The Leaves, F...

S565hk5T7SA It says Avicii, but it's really a re-interpretation of Nina Simone's great old song. Using some of the original instrumental recording; not the original vocals though, but instead Oklahoma-based singer Audra Mae, who I think catches some of the same vibe. It's a new dawn, it's a new day...

Can you use studded tyres in Canada? I don't want anything else on icy roads. I use Nokia Hakkapeliitta 9. If you look at the tyre pattern, they're basically siped from the get go, for better traction, and then they have two different types of studs. Can't beat them for performance on ice. Couple of...

I think Jimmy will quietly try and move Jake now. Its clearly a failure so why not give the kid a shot somewhere away from the gay bars of vancouver while he still has value. Is he worth a 2nd? An equivalent stalled project like Ho Sang? The Islanders have lent Ho Sang to Örebro in the SHL. They co...
