"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."

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.

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.

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.

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

Man can dream

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: https://vancouvercanucksraffle.5050c.../SelectTickets | |
