"I became a huge Canucks fan growing up. We couldn’t afford to go to games, not even back in 90's or 2000's," he continued. "My life goal from when I was eight was to be able to make enough money to afford Canucks season [tickets]."

...

"I’m old now, am successful professionally and have seasons ticket," he said. "By my math, I’ve spent $25k between buying game-worn [jerseys] from VanBase and my seasons past 12 months. I am definitely one of their most financially supportive fans."

The jersey is a repurposed signed Jake Virtanen jersey as he clearly did not care to keep the Virtanen jersey intact. With help from his jersey guy in Toronto, he created the full "Thank You Jim" jersey.

"I made it because this is a last stand for me," he said. "Childhood dream but screw this. I can think of a million different ways to better spend $10-20k a year. The money part is important to me. I ain’t just talking trash without putting my money where my mouth is."

Maybe Canucks will pull what the 2018-2019 St Louis Blue did. Shit record going into the new year and went on to win the Stanley Cup :lawl:

They'd have to play something like .800 hockey the rest of the way to get 95pts.

So you're saying there's a chance...

I saw that guy on the skytrain last night as I was going to the game.

sigh. well I'm waiting for some big news coming

Infiniti 11-18-2021 10:06 AM

Benning with his usual platitudes on the press conference right now.

whitev70r 11-18-2021 10:53 AM

I think the team/players has to take some of the heat ... on paper, they are not bad. Better than last year removing the duds like Eriksson. OEL is not doing bad, Garland is doing well .. Boeser, Petey are getting C- right now.

Seems like the window of leveraging young players toward success is closing or closed.

68style 11-18-2021 10:56 AM

Is there a particular reason Horvat doesn’t play on the PK?

I mean for a Captain he’s sure not getting any opportunities to lead by example… anyone new to hockey would assume that JT Miller is the Captain.

The radio said he isn't really good at killing penalties.

68style 11-18-2021 11:02 AM

Seems like something any NHL player should be capable of learning… I mean if you understand offensive tendencies you’re already a leg up knowing what lanes and angles they will want to use and just get between them.

They said he was overly aggressive on the PK.

Loui was supposed to be good on the PK but I recall he sat in the press box quite a bit.

If Bo Horvat can develop into a Ryan Kesler level of defensive play one day

:jizz::jizz::jizz:

Man can dream

RiceIntegraRS 11-18-2021 05:47 PM

I wonder if the Sharks will take back Linus Karlsson for Dahlen.

If you love hockey (NHL thread) and want a creative way to help with relief in the Fraser Valley (cold and windy thread) AND the slim possibility of winning a down payment for a condo (Vancouver Real Estate thread) ... here is your trifeca:

Next Canucks 50/50 (Nucks vs. Jets) ... proceeds go to Abbotsford relief work:

Same with last game's 50/50 and the game on Sunday vs Chicago.

whitev70r 11-19-2021 07:55 AM

^ Those 50/50 proceeds going to Abbotsford relief as well?

spoon.ek9 11-19-2021 06:34 PM

finally a PPG!

keifun 11-19-2021 06:44 PM

Still worried about our shitty PK.
Just gotta stop taking dumb penalties

spoon.ek9 11-19-2021 07:16 PM

2 PPGs? :ahwow:

spoon.ek9 11-19-2021 08:35 PM

dunno how they managed it, but they won this game without taking a penalty OR playing from behind :thumbs:

whitev70r 11-19-2021 09:07 PM

Damn ... someone just won $443K on the 50/50!

Looks like demoting Boeser and Petey worked, who would've thought this would work with struggling players

6thGear. 11-19-2021 09:21 PM

Boeser seems quite invisible lately. Got taken off PP1 , wonder if he's worked himself into the doghouse yet
