Of course we can ...just not last night..we are retooling...I a m proud of how well we have done so far and have faith in the new regime to make some great moves in the very near and distant future....
I have faith too....faith that Benning and Linden see reality and know that the core of the team is on the downside of their careers and will need to be replaced. Faith that they will think long term and not short term fixes.

If I were GM of your Vancouver Canucks...

I'd be having Kassian/Matthias/Dorsett/Burrows RUN GOALIES on a regular basis. :wink:

But then I may be a bit of an asshole.
You bastard! :mad: you made them do it!

Funnily enough Higgin's bro reads this site (he posts once in a blue moon on that other Canuck site).

So yeah, I'll take credit for that. :mrgreen:

I prefer "asshole" to "bastard" but thanks for the compliment!

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Dubnyk got a 3rd! traded to the Wild though. :?

Leaves the Coyotes and Oilers who could use Lack.

Coyotes in full rebuild mode btw, all their vets are for sale I presume.
McKenzie saying Maloney has gotten instructions to cut payroll and to go into full rebuild. Mentions that Vermette will be moved
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I wonder what the cost is for Doan and Yandle. Doan could be a great mentor for Kassian when it comes to being a consistent power forward. Probably more than we're willing to pay.

Wait, do they want Sbisa? :lol:

Lowe and MacT must be irritated by the news of the Yotes going full Tank mode, their competition for McEichel just got bigger

Leaves lose 4-0 in Anaheim... *yawn, fart*... but

Ref was interesting:



Guy thought he had been magically transported from present day Anaheim

... to Atlanta in the 70's. :lol:

Do they drug-test the refs?

Kinda like a ref from a little while ago:



Are Magic Mushrooms making a resurgence? :D

Same game (Leaves @ Ducks) Vatanen may have just put Booth's career out of it's miserly.

Yet another concussion, caused by an elbow to the chops,.....

It was almost like Booth was trying to get hit and just skated into Vatanen's elbow.

Every time I look out my window, same three dogs looking back at me.

The price for Doan and Yandle would be astronomical!!! like Sbisa plus at least a 2nd.

Right now there's probably a crazy bidding war for Yandle.

I'd see what the cost of Hanzal would be, he's a beast, I can see him centering Shinkaruk/Jensen in the not too distant future.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
