Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

Some here have said that if Silovs turns out to be the real deal, the Canucks will regret letting him go, and they will -- though I think their options were quite limited. But if Silovs turns out to be the real deal, far greater will be the regret in Edmonton for not making an offer the Canucks ...

Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26

From the "Around the League" thread: Roslovic to Oilers 1x1.5m Management will get a close up view on Saturday. Roslovic to Edmonton really isn't the important Oiler signing... The important signings were Ekholm (3 ys/$4M AAV) and Walman (7 ys/$7M AAV)... Holding serve -- or worse given ages -- is ...

Re: Is there a "Doctor" in the house?

Tried my best to get his name a few years ago… gave him all my info first hoping for reciprocity…. To no avail I even talked somewhere on the board about hoping everyone has a deadman’s switch in effect… because it’s not right for everyone to be left guessing… If there is a post about how to set tha ...

Re: Is there a "Doctor" in the house?

Doc has always been relentlessly optimistic about the Canucks' chances, so I will honour that optimism by pointing out -- without knowing any of the specifics of his health challenges -- that there are medical statuses that could last a couple of months, and would preclude posting or replying to ...

Re: Past Canuck Players

Silovs gets the start for opening night with the Pens. Good for him. He will get to see a lot of pucks. Lankinen was terrible cap management and terrible asset management. Best case scenario for proving me wrong is Demko can’t play (so a different bad deal….) and Lankinen provides decent goa ...

Re: 2025-26 Prediction Thread

I might have made a boo boo with my Nashville prediction. I think they are in the McKenna race. I agree that we will start to see a doitht dip in Colorado’s game, they’ve had a good run. I just can’t get past the Canucks forward group. The more I look at it, the more concerned I get. 5 on 5 is a rea ...

Re: Canucks Pre-Season Games (Semi-GDT thing)

So Rutherford has basically one year to ice a team with enough promise and hope that will interest the best player in franchise history into sticking around. That isn't happening with leadfoot Raty making the top 9...or a Pissed Off Joseph...or picking any other waiver wire weiners That path ...

Re: Canucks Pre-Season Games (Semi-GDT thing)

Missed the game, saw the highlights. Calgary is not going to be a good team this year. They managed one goal on our backup, and it was only because Lankinen blew an edge and fell over after making an initial save. I think Dustin Wolf probably keeps the game closer. Raty's marker, Sasson's first ...

Re: AROUND THE LEAGUE - 25-26

Go away for 6 months and EP goes from being discussed in the same sentence as Datsyuk to now Kaprizov. :P EP40 has the hands and can deke like Datsyuk, pass like Hank and shoot like Nasi. :D The only issue is that he has the bambi legs and doesn't have the lower body leg strength like Kaprizov, so ...

Re: 2025-26 Prediction Thread

I give our guys a 50/50 chance to make the playoffs. Everything went wrong for us last seasons, but we only missed the playoffs by like 8 pts. Find a couple more wins and a few pts here and there and we would have made it. I think I'll be optimistic. Right now, I don't think we're as good as the ...

Re: AROUND THE LEAGUE - 25-26

Almost as well…..but only in contract years. The biggest knock on the majority of them has been inconsistency. The trio you list, as well as Kucherov, Bure, and Datsyuk, are the only ones that immediately come to mind as those who were consistent. Yeahbut plenty of non-Russians were inconsistent a ...

Not the worst Canucks coaching staff plan I've ever heard.
We are discussing Morals over at Creeper's. This kinda fits 🤔
Which thread? I didn't see anything with an obvious connection.

Re: Woman’s Rugby

I was very proud of the achievements of the Canadian side.

And yes, athletic women are usually attractive.
