Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I wonder if this means in the US on Center Ice we'll finally get HD feeds from Canadian broadcasts instead of crappy SD feeds. Only the leaves, of course, and HNIC on NHL network and the occasional Canucks game last year were in HD. Watching the other games in SD made me feel like it was back in the...

TG still in mourning of his buddy Mike's firing. Its really quite striking how different he is pre and post-Gillis. I thought he had just gotten older & less bitter somehow...maybe got grounded or something. Now he's back on the warpath. Let's not forget the gossip about how he lobbied the Aquabros...

From Tony G's latest: The Vancouver Canucks’ new president has accomplished quite a few things in his short tenure, and whether he knows it or not, or welcomes it or not, he’s done something else as well: lowered the bar. Although, to be fair, he’s had some help in that regard. Say what you will ab...

Booth will fit into a bottom 6 role with a team pretty easily for $1.5mil or less. I would be surprised if he doesn't get a contract Not so sure about that. Seems like the type of guy that might get an invite to camp and try to prove he's still got it. Can't see many teams just gifting him a contra...

I didn't really care about the Thornton quote one way or the other, and it did lead to a week's worth of jokes about it with hockey watching friends, so there's that. But to me it just seemed sort of lazy, journalistic-wise. Okay, so Thornton said it, and it tells us what? Botch is who he is; a hock...

Booth is praying so, literally..which raises a question, if the Devils offered to sign him, would he decline?

Ergo, Botchford is more personality than reporter. That's fine for him, just not my style. Like Gallagher, he's more op-ed than reporter, only younger & shinier. He's just focused on stirring up the dirt & making a spectacle of himself in hopes he'll get more tv time. Full on TMZ & Fox News. His Pr...

I could give two shits what a player takes home, that's the owners problem. All that should matter to fans is the cap hit, that has a direct impact on what kind of team can be put together, trades etc. Just remember, Clam, the owner passes what they pay to the players' onto their fans in terms of t...

Yes, this media created controversy is so inane. TG writing about how by 1) signing Miller and 2) drafting Demko, the Canucks are dissing Lack. So, by Gollum's logic, the Canucks should neither sign a vet with #1 experience nor draft a guy who, at best, will play in three years so as not to upset L...

Oh noes, Lack's feewings are hurt. LMAO. How old is Eddie when Miller's contract is up? 30? Pretty good chance he will want out by then but who gives a shit. He's not going to be more than an average NHL goalie. I don't know WTF Florida did to Markstrom but he looked like absolute shit from a techn...

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/hockey/canucks-hockey/Gallagher+Canucks+take+offence+into+Western/9991233/story.html TG now says that the Canucks have alienated Lack, the second year starter with average numbers and 41 game of experience. Great insight. I like Lack, but reading how some of the Va...

Yup, and why's this miller talk in the media thread? Botchford Yes, and the even more insidious thing about Botchford's column is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He's one of the major Canucks writers; he will MAKE it a controversy and then say, see, just as I said, it's a controversy. Then a...

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/hockey/canucks-hockey/Botchford+Miller+signs+inevitable+goalie/9990472/story.html That didn't take long for Botch. Wow, what contrived nonsense. This is so Vancouver. A goalie with 41 games to his credit, who wore down at the end of the season, is going to be in a ...

I'd love to see them go for it, but they shouldn't give up Horvat, find another way. Strength down the middle is what we see with successful teams. Set up a Reinhart-Horvat 1-2 punch for the next 10 years.
