McJesus hasn't won anything yet.

He talks about contract negotiations and playing during covid restrictions. Easy to see why some players wanted to go to the states

Huberdeau is selling his Lambo Huracan and Ferrari Spyder before he plays in Calgary. Good move haha. Time to buy a pickup truck or SUV.

His Lamborghini and Ferrari are sick!

I'm glad he thinks the difference between 7.5 and 8.25 essentially is nothing and that either way he's doing pretty well.

That was some obnoxious delivery, but nice to take a trip down memory lane

Im with you on that one but sucked it up and it was worth it for the nostalgia of it all.

Will the preseason games be on tv or available to stream tomorrow?

If they are not on tv I think they might be streaming on the Canucks YouTube channel

So much bromance between Bruce and Kevin Owens of the WWE

First preseason game and Brock is out 3/4 weeks with hand surgery, Mikheyev is also injured. Lol...

Boeser is the new Sami Salo

Good to get it out of the way early in the season...
Average total from the past 4 seasons, he's missed about 10 games each season.

How come it feels like he's always injured.

Because he is.. At least if you break your hand now is the time to break it.

annnnnd Dermott's also injured

Canucks not paying for Luongo contract (Cap hit) for first time in 12 years

In hindsight, that's 3m in cap space that Benning couldn't use to sign a dumb long term anchor.

Wow, this is a bombshell news report about Aquaman.

Four estranged adult children of Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini have all alleged that he physically and psychologically abused them when they were young, a B.C. Supreme Court judge heard Tuesday.

The disturbing allegations came to light during a hearing over whether Aquilini is obliged to continue paying child support and covering university expenses for three of his children. They include claims he beat a sleeping child and threw a five-year-old across a bedroom.

Aquilini has denied the allegations of abuse, the court heard.

Tuesday's hearing concerned an application from his ex-wife, psychotherapist Tali'ah Aquilini, seeking an order saying the three youngest remain "children of the marriage," according to the settlement agreement.

That would compel Francesco Aquilini to continue supporting his children, even though his ex-wife has been redacting the names of the universities they attend and other personal information in receipts submitted for reimbursement. She says she has made those redactions at the request of the children.

Tali'ah Aquilini's lawyer Claire Hunter read out portions of a letter the eldest Aquilini sister allegedly sent her father in March 2020 on behalf of the three younger siblings, outlining why they want their personal details withheld.

"Your relationship with us is a direct consequence of your treatment toward us, whether you'd like to acknowledge it or not. We all hold many individual accounts of your abuse towards us," she wrote.

"I would like to formally state that myself and my siblings … wish to have no contact with you, nor would we like you to have access to any of our contact, medical information or other information regarding our lives."

Affidavits from children describe alleged abuse

The three younger children are now 20, 22 and 24, the court heard. One is attending a graduate program overseas. One is studying mechanical engineering, and the third is in medical school.

Hunter said each of the children has disclosed physical and psychological abuse to their mother, though many of the specifics weren't revealed until after the separation.

Each of the children has submitted an affidavit to the court outlining their allegations of abuse. As is common in family law, the court file has been sealed from public access, but Hunter read out excerpts for the court.


One child recalled an incident in which they say their father began beating them while they were sleeping and continued to beat them until they woke up. Another remembered being punched in the stomach by Francesco Aquilini.

In the most lengthy passage Hunter read for the court, one child described their father becoming angry with the children because they were being too loud in the family rec room.

"The respondent [Francesco Aquilini] then forced all of us upstairs into our individual rooms, went to each room to physically abuse each child. I saw the respondent throw another child — at that time five years old — across the room," the affidavit says.

"I locked myself in my bathroom. The respondent broke the lock and was throwing his body at the door to come in and beat me. I called the claimant [Tali'ah Aquilini] and asked her to hurry home, stating I was scared the respondent would kill me, and I was worried that he had already killed my younger siblings."

Sorry, I don't like Aquaman much, but I didn't even read 1 sentence into this before I decided that these kids are just trying to get his $$$

Especially with a psychotherapist ex-wife/Mom who won't say where his payments are going to... wow... poor guy...

I love the part where the oldest daughter wrote a letter saying they don't want anything to do with him................. but they'll happily take all his money to fund their lives. Yah would sure suck to shut off that gravy train even though it traumatizes you to know the man? LOL

His adult kids sound like self entitled POS's, he wants to make sure the money is actually being used for what he's giving it to them for. I can fully respect that. He should straight up say they get nothing with the way they are acting.

I don't think you guys should be saying anything unless you were subjected to similar abuse. It's not like they are fucking around freeloading with the money; they're all getting an education.

I know the guy is a hero to Canucks fans, or at least "the good guy" for paying the Sedins and Luongo and whatnot, but I'm sure it's more complicated than you think.
