Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Great with his stick in and around the net...as good a deflector of the puck as there was. Totally. So many tips for goals, so many rebounds. I think of Pavelski as sort of a "clean" Dino Cicarelli (no crazy stares, trash talk, slashing, spearing, nudity or (alleged) substance use), or the player C...

Joe Pavelski said he's played his last game. UW was a big Pavelski fan when Pavelski was UWPavelski. Led the last UW NCAA national championship team. A member of the famed 2003 draft class -- a 7th rounder -- Pavelski overcame a smaller statute and a choppy stride with brains and guts and hands. 476...

When he's playing poorly, trade Boeser, he sucks! (And there is no market for that salary, not any that would bring assets in return and may require taking a distressed asset or throwing in a sweetener to facilitate). When he's playing well, keep Boeser at any cost, he's a warrior! (And there are a...

The cap space is a mirage, it will disappear soon. Gotta be careful what we do this year regarding Boeser next summer and Hughes soon after regarding “long term” contracts. I imagine Hughes will be getting Pettersson money, even more. I know idiots out there fancy trading our best playoff performer...

Yup, and resigning Boeser will be cheaper than finding an equivalent top-6 RW on the UFA market (or via trade for that matter), Boeser, maybe more than any other Canuck, may take less than market value to stay. Which is an odd thing for a guy who was given permission (and thus must have asked for i...

This is the main issue this summer. Is QH a Norris winning defenseman because he finally got the right partner or is it more to do with timing and/or his development. First half Hronek is a 7-8+/yr dman, second half is more like a 4-5/yr. It is likely "both" more than one or the other. He developed...

Hronek doesn’t want to sign for a reasonable cap hit. You have to wonder whether that's the reason Yzerman was keen on moving him. Wasn't the player, it was projecting a difficult signing. Of course the future returns are the benefit to Detroit for the trade, but replacing Hronek with Petry and Hol...

Lindholm @ 6.7 x 5 - sign me up! but if it's the 7.9 x 7 from the Athletic.. no thanks Of the three I want Zadorov the most. I worry about giving Joshua too much money, he can be a floater and can come across as indifferent. If there is the potential for a bad contract it’s Joshua. Lindholms age co...

Tendinitis can be managed in the short term with drugs. Sure, it probably hurt, and sucked to go through - but with ice, drugs and a medical team managing it - it shouldn't have affected his performance that badly. Kind of was hoping it was something a bit more serious, FFS, my Mom used to play ten...

Only guys I’m keeping….. Miller Boeser Garland Hughes Zadorov The rest are replaceable. Hughes needs a Schenn-type beside him though. Hronek was good for the first 60 games of the season, but as the games got tougher you could see that Quinn needed a guy beside him that could push opponents around ...

I think the season was very good, and in the post-season, the Canucks didn't collapse or hit a second gear. There's more this group could have done, but I don't think they should hang their heads. They showed a good amount of resilience, the ability to play many different kinds of games, and a high ...

Don’t like this JT. 50% of the time we see this from him and he finds it and even takes over. 50% of the time it is like game 4.

Don’t like this Dakota Joshua. Turning radius like a semi truck.

Like the d.

Like Garland.

Love Silovs.

Let’s go!

I went to Hulu Live for the playoffs and its also far better. Which is crazy since I am also getting ESPN+ through hulu (or at least that's how I watch it). I didn't think of Hulu live - I've got the Disney/ESPN/Hulu package - but when the first playoff game up, I "assumed" that ESPN+ would have "E...

I get games through ESPN+, which carries all out of market, non nationally televised games. The ESPN+ Ads are horrible - and repeated non-stop. Still a good deal - but - I find their streaming to be much worse than any other service. I get a ton of buffering and low-res with them - vs none with Sli...
