As a shooter, really quick glances at his pants make it seem like his pads are super short. That'd be enough to mess me up momentarily. Maybe that was the reasoning (given FLA's pant colour is the same as the top of his pads).

His helmet is actually a mangled SportMask and player Reakt cage. It's so messed lol

Roy's illusion of a bigger 5-hole to bait the shooters.

Got an email from MG

Dear Shawn,

With the trade deadline a week behind us, I wanted to communicate directly with our Season Ticket Members. You are a very important part of the Canucks family, and I’d like to give you more insight into last week’s developments and our plan for the team going forward.

In addition, I will be inviting you to participate in a webcast after I get home from the GM meetings and upcoming road trip. I want to articulate our plans with you openly and want to give you an opportunity to ask questions so that you have a greater understanding of the vision.

Our mission remains the same: to win the Stanley Cup. Last summer we said we had to make some changes to our team. We need to get younger, faster and stronger to succeed. That process is happening now, as we look to retool by surrounding our veteran stars with new, young talent. You can look at Anaheim as a recent example of a team that has retooled successfully.

Trading Roberto was not an easy decision. We are grateful for his tremendous contribution to our team and city, and we wish him much success. But the moves we've made go beyond goaltending. We are now younger and we are getting deeper. We've added a big, strong 6'4" centre in Shawn Matthias, who is excited to be here and will help this team now. And we believe in our talented group of prospects, including Bo Horvat, Nicklas Jensen, Frank Corrado, Dane Fox, Brendan Gaunce and Hunter Shinkaruk, who will be part of our short and long-term success. We are also well positioned financially, having created over $5 million in cap room to make the right deals for this team. That's in addition to the $7 million we expect the salary cap to increase next season.

We approached the deadline with long-term success in mind. We were prepared to make a hockey deal on trade deadline day, not a short-term fix. The players offered at the deadline did not fit our vision of where we want our team to go. We need to get younger and more balanced to be more competitive, and we didn’t see the right players to accomplish that goal. We are not willing to compromise our long-term vision for the sake of change.

We are committed to putting a winning team on the ice for you. Our ownership is supportive and will invest whatever it takes to bring the Cup to Vancouver. As we move towards this goal we will continue to invest in your arena and Canucks fan experience.

Thank you again for your continued support. We are enduring a challenging period, but your passion makes it possible for us to put our team in a position to compete. Our organization is committed to doing whatever it takes to win, and we want you to be here with us when we achieve our goal.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Gillis
President and General Manager
Vancouver Canucks

WE ARE ALL CANUCKS




I wish we tank for McDavid

It's the same idea as white pads (Roy's choice of colour).

But Thomas is different. His seems to be using it for more "shock" rather than the making the shooter think "hey there's more room 5 hole". Thomas looks to be a guy right now looking for whatever edge he can gain over shooters (if you follow him over the season, you'd notice he's the penultimate "gear-whore"). Maybe his choice of paint on the pads is part of that.

On a bit of a sad topic: I'm not sure if it was already posted, but here's the reason for Donny's 'stache:

I just thought Tim Thomas doesn't have his new equipment ready yet, that's why he's still using his FLA-coloured gear!

You're right he's still using his FLA stuff. I wasn't really speaking specifically about this get-up in DAL colours. But rather his rationale for using that particular paint scheme.

There's nobody on the UFA market next season that can help our team. Plus strong draft so why not suck for 1 yr for big reward.

I'm more then ok with tanking next season but if Gillis is still around I'm sure he will still think we have a chance and will do enough so we are just out of the sweepstakes.

I think if Gillis is fired, the new gm will dick around and tank next season anyways to make himself look good for the next decade with the 1st overall pick

new GM: - I had to clean up MG's mess, that's why we sucked this season to get the 1st overall pick

I'd give Laurence Gilman a shot, word is other teams have had their eye on him for GM positions.

Pretty scary situation, Deadspin has the video up CBJ-Stars Game Currently Suspended After Rich Peverley Collapse

He's had an heart issue, being held out of preseason, training camp and reportedly missed a game last week due to irregular heart beat.

Game is now cancelled
