My god, that Boeser.

And again! Boeser goal! 4 points!

Vanek sitting on 2 and makes that play. Love seeing unselfish plays.

pretty fucking amazing..... jesus christ


and this team isn't even going to the playoffs

[AzNightmare]

Win or lose, as long as Boeser is getting points, I am happy

[MG1]

Pretty sad when we're all happy about Boeser and everything else is pointless.

I want to see how the team performs with all the players healthy.

Canada loses to the US in a shootout...again. -first ever outdoor game at the WJHC.

It is and it isn't. What would this team look like right now without Boeser? At least we have something to be excited about (short term and long term).

[AzNightmare]

Canucks aren't a contending team. I'm not convinced they're even a playoff team. If they tank it to increase drafting odds to strengthen the team long term, I honestly wouldn't mind.

Boeser's looking like a real stud right now, and his success is going to align with the team's success in the long term. I absolutely like what I'm seeing so far in him.

[MG1]

I'm actually looking forward to watching tonight's game. Haven't felt that way in a long ass time, lol.

..........also prepared for a let down, but that's par for the course, being a Canucks fan.

Definitely want to see them win but if they don't and Boeser gets points, all is well :thumbs:

Having your mouth guard out on bench is one thing, chewing on it during the play is just idiotic. It should be a 2min penalty if that thing leaves your mouth during the play. No point using it if you just chew on the damn thing.

Canucks Team Store in Tsawwassen had a promotion when buying a new Adidas jersey. Buy the jersey with name and number and get a free pair of tickets to an upcoming game. Promo may still be running.

[Ch28]

I'd also be wary of buying the jerseys from the team stores because they heat glue the name plate on the jersey and it looks horrible.

Weather and pricing.

Have you seen pricing for the WJC next year in Vancouver and Victoria?

Vancouver tickets start at $650. Decent seats start at $1400. That's for 18 games but let's face it, not everyone can make it to every game even if they wanted to because of scheduling (weekday matinee games, etc).

Victoria doesn't even get a Canada game during the tournament. Starts at $400 for 12 games.

I dumped my deposit and bitched until I got a refund cause ticket master didn’t work for 2 days for me to try and reserve tickets. Ducking joke then they tried to give me the run around that “lots of tickets are still available”

I wouldn’t have put a deposit down if I was going to be randomly assigned garbage seats.

kadri in an alternate dimension is most likely to be a dirty prick on the ice
im sure he knew he grabbed the beard instead of the collar, but let go man.. jeez

still.. u poke the bear, and the bear bites back.. good job goin after jumbo.. he aint gonna back down.

[6thGear.]

Props on Jumbo for trying to man up and attempted to take his helmet off but of course Kadri........

[pastarocket]

Who is gonna step up on our team if Kadri starts trolling our best players during the game this Satuday?

What if that piece of shit tries to irritate Boeser? Guddy's wrist isn't what it used to be after surgery so somebody has to defend our players and pummel that Marchand wanna be if necessary.

[Mike Oxbig]

Jake Virtanen?

but who's gonna fight matt martin if he jumps in?

It's a hockey fight. You grab the collar with one hand snd punch with the other. Making things difficult, Joe has a nice shield of beard hair in the way. Unless you expect Kadri to sweep Joe's beard out of the way with one hand, while grabbing the collar with the other, leaving himself defenseless against a much bigger opponent. It wasn't an intentional hair pull like your hero Burrows.

https://youtu.be/vqbVReIDS-0



Upon closer look, looks like he did grab the collar, but Jumbo Joe's Jumbo beard got in the way so he Kadri ended up getting a grip on both.

I mean Kadri's one of those players that play on the edge with borderline antics that can be controversial (similar to Burrows), but in this scenario, seems like it may not have been on purpose. I mean the beard is where the collar is, no time to nitpick in the heat of the moment. You reach in and grab the collar and if the hair is in the way, well that's being grabbed too.

Jersey wouldn't be pulled like that if only the beard was being grabbed.

would you guys do a 3 way trade for guddy to get duclair?

[murd0c]

as long as we didn't have to give up anyone else YES

no. id rather see if we can get a 2nd in a sellers market and draft someone better. top 4 ufa d who could currently be available for trade dealine: mike green, sbisa(team in playoff spot, could change availability), gudbranson, schenn.

would you do pettersson and our 2018 1st for dahlin?

hell no, Pettersson is going to be a straight up stud and the #1 C we need.

No. I would do Juolevi and 1st for Dahlin.

[dbaz]

^ same.

or 2018 1st + a combo of some of the following 2020 1st, gadjovich, dahlen, dipietro, lockwood, goldobin, hutton, tryamkin, stetcher, Virtanen

saw the question on hfboards lol

[Jmac]

Could our defense be any shittier? Stecher throws the puck out of play, MDZ more concerned with keeping the net up than playing D, Gudbranson gloves it into his own net.

Can't believe the hate Edler gets online when he's basically our only decent dman at the moment.

Then there's the goaltending ...

And Nic Dowd leading all forwards in ice time ...

And Goldobin and Virtanen can't get a sniff of OT ice time while Eriksson-Dowd led in OT ice time against the Leafs.

[Hondaracer]

Don’t get this dowd ice time.. he’s decent but makes some pretty big mistakes compared to Jake

[Jmac]

Hutton with a nice hit then fight. On Orpik, the guy who always throws big hits and refuses to fight.

[68style]

Don’t get this dowd ice time.. he’s decent but makes some pretty big mistakes compared to Jake

Listened to Green’s pregame presser he said Granlund has improved a lot since Dowd came here... not sure what games he’s watching cuz Granny has been shit this year save for the 1 game he got 2 goals... but he obviously thinks Dowd adds a lot of value

[mb_]

Can't remember the last time we won... feels bad man

[highfive]

Every loss is a win to Dahlin.

Honestly, this shows how important Bo is. Plays offence, defence, faceoffs, PP, PK, coaching, training, fucking everything.

[Sw0op]

Just give bo the captaincy now

[AzNightmare]

Alright! This makes that Schneider trade so much better now.

Now we know the true value of BoHo.

It’s rwally nice seeing Brock getting all these bonuses. Last year when he signed.

20 goals bonus. All star bonus.

Especially with his family situation and how his mom goes to work to support the family.

If I recall we could have had the chance to draft 2 Nylanders and depending on where we fall in the next draft 2 Tkachuks. Can you imagine if we did, and Sedins stayed and we have 3 brother lines?

[dbaz]

except matthew tkachuk and alex nylander were in the same draft, so it would still only be a chance at 2 brother lines

ahhh ok i wasn't 100% sure :okay:

Pretty interesting seeing all these sons of players I watched growing up.

[Bouncing Bettys]

I don't get to follow the rest of the league as much as I used to. Sometimes I hear an old familiar name, feel confused/impressed that this player is still in the NHL, and then find out it's his son and I feel older.

^too busy in the centre of the universe I guess

Why do I feel like Canada is going to get waxed at the Olympics?

doesn't matter, main thing is even if Russian players win. its not Russia winning :fullofwin:

It still only went in because his stick broke and turned it into a knuckler... we still have not seen him score an actual goal! It’s incredible really

Sutter must be back tomorrow

Jt Miller on waivers. Wonder if his raised fist during the anthem has anything to do with it :/

jt miller plays for nyr and is good, wouldn't go on waivers.

Who the fuck is the numb nut on Sportsnet who jinxed it. Mentioned that Markstrom looks like he's going to steal a point from the Wild. 2 seconds later, the Wild score.

Almost as bad as saying shutout.

Is there a reason why Shorty and Cheech aren't doing the telecast tonight?

[pastarocket]

The schedule looks a bit quirky for this week. The team has five days off on the road.

Their next two games are back to back this weekend against Edmonton and Winnipeg to end the 7 game road trip.

-more time for the coach to schedule practices during this road trip. :considered:

Sat, Jan 20

@ 7:00 PM PT

CBC, SN


Sun, Jan 21

It’s canucks bye week this week. I don’t think they’ll have practices or anything. Players are going out of town

Pretty good read. It's nice to see Snow doing something after that Moulson crap they went through.

[Mike Oxbig]

But Snow then revisited the Chiarelli vending machine this offseason, parting with another former top pick who had failed to live up to expectations in Ryan Strome to return Jordan Eberle, a five-time 20-goal scorer.

:rofl:


At this point Brock needs 40 goals to win the Calder.

[invader]

I want Brock to win the calder, but it looks like Barzal will end up with it.

[winson604]

ELIAS PETTERSSON didn't make the Olympic Roster booo

[Liquid_o2]

I want Brock to win the calder, but it looks like Barzal will end up with it.

Barzal could break his leg tomorrow. Season is only half over!

[nah]

I want Brock to win the calder, but it looks like Barzal will end up with it.

Local boy Barzal or local player Boeser, either outcome would be welcomed in Vancouver

[AzNightmare]

Local boy Barzal or local player Boeser, either outcome would be welcomed in Vancouver

I actually only care about the local player. Just being honest... lol
I don't know Barzal personally and he's not playing for my favourite team.

well Bo is skating again.. and travelling with team.. great news :D

[pastarocket]

Dreger of TSN said an NHL executive told him that Tavares may be offered a gigantic contract if he chooses to become a free agent.

7 year deal, 15 million per season.

https://www.tsn.ca/countdown-to-tradecentre-could-tavares-land-a-15m-aav-1.972736


In The Race

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger believes pending free agent John Tavares will not hit the open market in July 1, but noted he could break the bank if he does.

Dreger said Thursday the Montreal Canadiens should be among the teams chasing Tavares if he hits free agency and the team has the cap space to make a massive offer.

“You have no choice. It’s a pipe dream, I agree with you," Dreger told TSN's James Duthie on Thursday. "I’m still in the camp that believes that John Tavares and the New York Islanders are going to find that middle ground and he’ll stay and finish his career quite possibly with the New York Islanders. But in Tavares you have to be all-in if you’re the Montreal Canadiens. You’re so desperate up the middle of the ice.

“I had an NHL executive tell me earlier this week that he believes that someone, if Tavares goes to market, is going to offer a seven-year term and $15 million per. Seven times 15.

Well if you’re the Montreal Canadiens with $9 million in cap space right now and that’s going to grow in the off-season. If he hits the market, you need to be one of those teams ready to pony up that kind of dough.”

[originalhypa]

^
$10.5 million for Price, plus another $12 million for Tavares?
Doesn't leave much room for anyone else, especially when you're paying for a Weber cap hit of $8 million, and Drouin and Petrie making $5.5 each. That's $41 million for 5 players, and each roster has 22.

Plekanec and Hemsky are both free agents at the end of the season, so where are the Habs going to get their money from?

Tavares has the power, but I honestly think that he is going to stick with the Isles. They would be fools to let him walk.

[Bouncing Bettys]

Usually the teams with the cap space aren't contenders. Big UFA's aren't looking to sign long term there. The habs are a dumpster fire right now with no clear direction.

[MG1]

Canucks fans are like told, "Be patient, rebuild, blow up the team, it'll all come together one day......" Pretty hard to swallow any of that shit when a first year team is like a few points back of first place overall in the NHL.

FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

The Canucks are fresh off their break, having not been together as a group since last Sunday's overtime victory in Minnesota. The mandatory five-day break gave the guys Monday to Thursday completely off; we flew to Edmonton Friday and practiced when we landed.

Mid-flight, players gabbed about their breaks and there was a lot to discuss.

Troy Stecher went to Disneyland, Michael Del Zotto was in Scottsdale, Sven Baertschi and Anders Nilsson relaxed in Whistler, Alex Biega was home in Boston, Jake Virtanen hit Las Vegas, Thomas Vanek and Brock Boeser stayed in Minnesota, Ben Hutton was in Cancun, Brendan Gaunce was in Palm Springs, Daniel and Henrik Sedin had staycations in Vancouver, while Sam Gagner, Erik Gudbranson, Alex Edler, Jacob Markstrom and Loui Eriksson soaked up the sun in Punta Mita, Mexico.

:rofl:

[Nabatron]

^that expansion team totally different rebuild then what the canucks and other NHL teams are doing...they pretty much got to pick and take advantage of other teams and picks

[Jmac]

Tavares will stay with the Islanders. How often do actual top players in their primes leave via UFA? Last two were Suter and Parise 6 years ago. I can't even remember the last time it happened prior to that (Gaborik 2009, but he and the Wild had a well-documented terrible relationship; Hossa in 2008, but that was because Melnyk is a cheap SOB).

Of course hahaha

[Jmac]

No one commented during the game? I missed it for Hometown Hockey events in town this weekend (game wasn't shown at the pub where they had Tara Sloan performing, which seemed ... odd).

[spoon.ek9]

was not a good game to watch let alone comment on :/

[MG1]

NICE!!!

Never really heard the anthem sung that high. Nice voice and she sang the anthem as it was meant to be sung, with no embellishment.

TRUE NORTH !!!!!!!

[MG1]

Wow, ref nearly go an assist, lol.

I have a good feeling about this game.

Boeser gonna score. :troll:

[MG1]

Looks like Hellebuyck's gonna get his 4th shutout of the season.

[Kilinim]

Fuck me, Loui Eriksson is trash

[Liquid_o2]

Fuck me, Loui Eriksson is trash

Only 4 more years after this year...

:okay:

[68style]

Only 4 more years after this year...

:okay:

Don't forget he has a NTC the whole way through as well... modified in the last 2 years, but still a NTC.

:okay::okay::okay:

[Jmac]

And it's basically all signing bonus, so buying him out would basically get us no cap relief.

[E.D.C.5]

correct me if im wrong, but he was playing on the 4th line at various times? if that's the case....fknn helll

[highfive]

And it's basically all signing bonus, so buying him out would basically get us no cap relief.

Can you send him down to the farm? That will give us the cap relief

[mb_]

Can you send him down to the farm? That will give us the cap relief

One way contract AFAIK so if I remember the process correctly, he has to go through waivers

[Jmac]

Can you send him down to the farm? That will give us the cap relief
You only get up to $925k in cap relief from sending a player to the AHL and he has an NMC for another 2 years, so not really.

[blkgsr]

just bench him....let his ego get hurt and maybe he'll start performing.

[fsy82]

just bench him....let his ego get hurt and maybe he'll start performing.

this is his second year..do u think hes gonna start now:okay:

[Nabatron]

a lot of guys on 1040 and 650 like ericssons defensive game they praise him about it but give me a fucking break u don't sign him at 6mill for his defensive game u sign him for goals/points.

Also I don't know about you guys but I am sick and tired of this bullshit notion of canucks players have to be "200 ft players" "defence first" "defence gurus" "defence, defence, defence" you guys get the point.

All I am saying is they want these players to have a defence first mentality and make no mistakes in their own end. Give me a break this team cant score, cant stop the puck, the D corp is a shambles. They pretty much want to handcuff the guys who are suppose to be offensive to think about their own end and pretty much say fuck it to offense.

end rant!

[blkgsr]

this is his second year..do u think hes gonna start now:okay:

i don't see what that has to do with anything...if he's thinks his spot is secure, sit his ass and give him a wake up call

if it's the coaches telling him to play a certain way, then you can't fully blame the guy but come on there's got to be some pride in wanting to not play like a bum

[Sid Vicious]

Fuck me, Loui Eriksson is trash

what happened to this guy, wasnt he solid on dallas?

[68style]

I don't think anyone would have as big of a problem with Eriksson if he at least looked like he gave a fuck out there... fans aren't blind, you can see the body language and facial expressions of the players... you see Vanek out there his face is red and he's practically throwing up after every shift and he slams the gate and talks to himself and gets feisty with the other team... the guy is giving it everything out there.

Then there's Eriksson, lumbering around at half speed everywhere, smartly placing pucks into the corner and then gliding off to the bench and maybe if he does get a chance and misses it he will kind of look up and rolls his eyes like woe is me maybe next time... it's disgusting to watch. They can say whatever they want about his defensive game or how he is in the room or whatever, but he's a lazy fuck who is doing the absolute minimum.

[Kilinim]

what happened to this guy, wasnt he solid on dallas?

Ok in Dallas, bit better than ok in Boston. But he was surrounded by a strong supporting cast. Over time, he's gone downhill. Coupled with a bit of a lacking Canucks system/cast, you can see him for what he is now.

[Nabatron]

I was randomly watching old all star skills competitions on youtube and guess what I saw? fucking ericsson in the breakaway challenge. Can remember the year but it was probably his last year with dallas before he got traded. He seemed to have decent hands and didn't look like shit at all...

[cdizzle_996]

Let’s not forget he’s a 32 year old Swede, coasting to retirement making 6m.
