its the first year i dont have cable,
does anyone know a reliable source where I can watch the games online?
Ive searched a few, but I dont trust many of them because they require downloads of strange plugins and shit like that.
Does Sportnet stream their games live online?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ya i saw that on nhl.com
is it $50 just for the short season or does the price go up next year for full 82 games?
!Nhan
01-20-2013, 02:27 PM
price will most likely go back to the norm. i think it was 189 last seasoN? i don't remember exactly
I'm more disappointed at how well Sulzer played in Buffalo, whereas MAG was fucking terrible here
Sulzer was horrible in the few games that he played for us. Surprised he had game in Buffalo.
Gragnananani was a less polished and less defensively responsible version of Ballard
Kass just needs to fly around and hit everything in sight. I don't care if he can't generate any offense or put pucks in the net at this point.

It's clear who the better player is between Coho and Kassian, but Kassian addresses a team need. If we still had Coho in our line-up, we'd be softer than ever
Kassian addresses the need for another plug for the Canucks.

I believe game center blacks out local games unless you get some proxy or VPN, so it's pointless of you wanna watch the Canucks.

Ok, so when is AV gonna ditch the Ebbett experiment? He's clearly not working as the "second line centre." Time to call Schroeder up and see how he does, because it can't get much worse than this.
We struggled with secondary scoring towards the end of last season, and it's carrying onto this season. The D has been horrible. Bieksa looks like his former old self. Garrison has been alright. Edler doesn't look bad, but he's still inconsistent in his own end. Hamhuis isn't bad, but I'll cut him slack cause pulling Bieksa's weight must be tough. Tanev has looked good. Ballard made a few mistakes, but he looks solid. I still don't know why they don't try him out on the PP, cause the PP has been atrocious so far. As for the forwards..Burrows better shake off the rust, or that contract is gonna look terrible next year. Weise and Volpatti have impressed me. The rest of the forwards have been performing as expected.
I've always pinned everything on the Sedins, especially in the playoffs when they wouldn't "show up." I guess it only seems that way cause secondary scoring is non-existent on this team.

It's been 2 games and you're hitting the panic button now on certain players? I agree with you on Ebbett, he's pretty much more of a depth guy than anything, but to say problems have carried over from last season, TWO games in? That's an overreaction.

I don't think it's the panic button to say that the Canucks are playing like they always have, aside from the stretch where Kesler played way beyond his ability.
Also another thing to consider is that in a shortened season, 2 games is effectively like 4 games. There isn't much room to turn things around this time!

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of days. AV wouldn't say who his starting goalie will be on Wednesday, even though Cory is the "#1".
0/5 on the PP is not good enough. That used to be our bread and butter, so that has got to improve. Special teams makes the difference in games like this.
If I don't see Schroeder called up, I'm really going to shake my head at management. The 2 day break allows for us to do some shuffling. Ebbet is not a good NHL hockey player, especially not in a top 6 role as I stated after last game. He is a "journeyman" as they say, and journeyman is really code for: not able to crack the roster on any NHL team so said journeyman lives out of a suitcase. If they REALLY want him up with the team, that's fine, send one of the 3 scratched d-men down. Really, carrying 3 extra d-men when our forwards are struggling? That makes a lot of sense.
On the plus side, Kassian, Tanev and Weise played pretty well.
Just my 2 cents. Next game is a must win!

If Dale Weise can get the production he had in the Netherlands (42 points in 19 games, seriously, can anyone believe this? I had to look at his stats on the Trappers website.) we'd be all set! :troll:
If 2 games=4 then all should be well by game 5, which would basically be a month. I'd start worrying if we start the season with no wins by the first week of February though. but after 2 games, like any other league, it's hard to tell how well a team is going to do through the entire season (especially in a lockout)

After being President Trophy Winners the past 2 seasons, I actually wouldn't mind a change up,
where all the fans (and Canucks) don't feel like it's their given right to have a freebie to the Stanley Cup.
Every team needs to earn it, which includes playing hard during the playoffs.

Lu never stood a chance in the shootout. And he played both shots as well as any goalie could have.
Lu is horrible on shootouts. Doesn't challenge enough and has absolutely no poke check. Goalies with a poke check keep players from going in too close, which guys have free reign with Lu.

had a dream that both lu and edler got traded to TO
:fulloffuck:
dreams dont make sense.
2 games in, 2 losses, seasons over:whine:. srsly though there's positives to both sides of this. short season means easier for canucks to do good if they smarten up, usually by playoffs they break down injury wise. if they bomb they get a HUGE opportunity at drafting an EXCELLENT player with the lottery draft for the teams not making the playoffs. could you imagine if the team got to draft a player like drouin in the offseason, this years draft is probably as good as the 2003 draft, the top 10 may be better imo. i mean with the canucks having the sedins, kesler etc in the previous cba a chance at a top 5 good pick would be hard to come by and with the sedins gettin older this could make the team super dangerous next year. of course there isnt a guarantee if they miss they would get a top 5 pick but definitely a better chance than usual and of course id rather they make the playoffs but still either way its pretty good imo

2 games in, 2 losses, seasons over:whine:. srsly though there's positives to both sides of this. short season means easier for canucks to do good if they smarten up, usually by playoffs they break down injury wise. if they bomb they get a HUGE opportunity at drafting an EXCELLENT player with the lottery draft for the teams not making the playoffs. could you imagine if the team got to draft a player like drouin in the offseason, this years draft is probably as good as the 2003 draft, the top 10 may be better imo. i mean with the canucks having the sedins, kesler etc in the previous cba a chance at a top 5 good pick would be hard to come by and with the sedins gettin older this could make the team super dangerous next year. of course there isnt a guarantee if they miss they would get a top 5 pick but definitely a better chance than usual and of course id rather they make the playoffs but still either way its pretty good imo
Reminds me of what the Spurs, usually a model of winning and consistency, went through in 97 when they lost their star player David Robinson and finished in the bottom three to win the lottery. They drafted Tim Duncan. Not saying the Canucks will end up bottom 3.. but it wouldn't hurt to get a star youngster since our prospect pool is quite thin. That said, i rather have the team win the cup

durr of course winning is the best way but if you actually take a deep look at the team and the prospects you'd understand why im bringing it up. 2-5 years away for an impact with this draft? this draft has a handful of players that could make the jump to the nhl next year and make an impact. jones, mackinnon, drouin, barkov, lindholm, nichushkin, monahan. all im saying is that if this season is bad it seems theres a silver lining to this season. was drunk when i posted last so it seems i went overboard with my thoughts of the possibilities lol

Benn coming to Vancouver? It's not happening according to this article:
Jamie Benn Contract: Assorted Thoughts As Stars Reportedly Close to a Deal - Defending Big D (http://www.defendingbigd.com/2013/1/22/3903552/jamie-benn-contract-dallas-stars-bob-mckenzie)
The deal reported in this article is a 5 year contract, 33 to 35 million dollars. Jamie Benn is way too expensive for the Canucks.
This player is Dallas' franchise center for the present and future. They would do whatever it takes to sign this guy.
Would Gillis even consider giving up draft picks to sign this RFA for that amount of money? We're talking about a Sedin size contract here in terms of the annual salary.

His Hard-on for Lu isnt much different than the one i had for Pavel Bure. And the situations were pretty similiar.
Hes the best player on the team and a huge fan favorite. Then the city eventually turns on him totally forgetting what he brings to the table.
Whenever Bure was traded was basically my new favorite team (after tHE Canucks of course) So i know where Hondaracer is coming from.

Caps will win cup if Ovechkin takes the game seriously...

Stop posting rumors without providing a source. You just end up looking like a shawn79

^ It makes sense. Caps have a lot of prospects and assets. Tom Wilson, Forsberg, Neuvirth as noted above, Holtby, and Evgeny Kutzenov. Wilson and Forsberg are powerforwards while the latter is better in scoring. Evgeny Kutznetsov is ppg in khl and has been noted for his offense.
Yeah they got good pieces but we need to win with players that can play NOW not in 2+ years
We need a second line playmaker or a legit 3rd line shutdown guy
