Re: TSN loses NHL Hockey Rights

Good points but not only that, its going to cost more to watch games from now on as they can charge whatever the fuck they like... This is where I'd like to see further details on things. It's being said that there will be no more regional restrictions, but will this mean the return of PPV games? W...

Re: And so it begins

You know Steve Moore and his lawyers are just waiting for the outcome of the Bertuzzi litigation before they jump on this bandwagon.

You have to wonder if/when the Lindros brothers sign on to this one. Maybe mummy and daddy told them to stand pat for now... :roll:

Re: LA Kings at Canucks. 7PM SNET

On a positive note, I thought Wiese, Booth, and Kassian all had better games tonight. Fact of the matter is that if you have 8 power plays and still lose the game, you don't deserve to win. On another positive note, I gleefully read Bob Mckenzie's tweet that CBC and Rogers have sewn up an exclusive...

Re: LA Kings at Canucks. 7PM SNET

Huge mistakes by Bieksa and Edler on the tying and go ahead goals - Lu played OK, but got out played again. Same shit different day. Team played well enough to win, just can't seem to put it all together. Very very frustrating. It will be interesting to see how much patience Gillis actually has. Th...

Re: LA Kings at Canucks. 7PM SNET

Kings get the equalizer and the Canucks look like the Canucks of the funk again. Jesus jumped-up Christ, will this team grow and keep its nuts for a whole game??? :evil: Where the hell is a sports psychologist when this team needs one? I thought for once they'd turned a mental corner and then they c...

Re: LA Kings at Canucks. 7PM SNET

That hit on hank woke us up Finally, this team is starting to take the game into the trenches and start hitting with a bit of hate. Up to that point the Kings were running the home team out of the barn even if it was only 1-0. The guys had no confidence and were just beating their heads playing the...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

Erat was immediate help to make the playoffs ...... could have been Paulson or Roy. Desperation then. The Roy trade made sense at the time, even though it didn't get the team any further in the playoffs, and when you consider the Forsberg-for-Erat trade it doesn't look quite so bad. Much as people ...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

So the Capitals traded arguably their top prospect in Filip Forsberg (a player ranked probably in the top five of his draft who slipped somewhat inexplicably to them at #11) for Martin Erat who has now requested a trade out of the organization after a mere 427:10 of ice time in a Caps sweater.. I d...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

Van media reported that 8 pro scouts were in attendance last Saturday. Coincidental convergence of pro scouts making the rounds, or is this evidence of something more?

Count me as one of the hopeful. This team is so ripe for a significant shake-up. :)

Re: Are the Canucks an "impact" forward away from being LEGI

I don't want to start thinking about the offseason before Christmas, but it's getting harder not to do so. If the Canucks don't make the playoffs - and it's a scarily realistic possibility - does Gillis get a chance to right the ship in the offseason with the knowledge that the cap will go up, the p...

Re: Alex Burrows signs 4-Year, $18m Extension

Was I the only one unhappy when this deal was done. I thought it was a fair deal for what he had provided the Canucks. He's severely under-performing his deal so far. He needs to produce more. I don't really care for excueses and effort levels. Burrows has not been a good point-producer for us, rel...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

So what's the deal with Kane off the ice/behind the scenes? Is he a Justin Beiber/Kanye West prima-donna? I've met a couple ppl who knew him when he was a kid growing up in Van-city. They tell me he's a good kid; however, I think like any 22 year old kid who makes the NHL and earns the phat million...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

If these Shea Weber trade rumours are true, then I wonder if the Canucks put up a competitve bid. http://hockeytraderumors.com/preds-trade-shea-weber-answer-surprise-2/. Don't think this is a rumour so much as a blogger's bright idea. Unless such a move is bart of a bigger process of trading off de...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14

Edler + Booth... FOR... Nash + Del Zotto :mex: Rangers won't give up Nash for that, lol. Well they are apparently trying to unload Del Zotto right now. And most say the recently concussed Nash has a not-so-great contract (takes him to age 34). But fine, throw in what ever else is necessary to even ...
