It's Cloutier.

He's made a living out of insulting us fans. He never misses taking a shot at canuck fan. The guy has created his own fan site for christ sake. That picture that I posted was from his 'who am I' page.

He deserves everything he gets and you know it.

He's got nothing to do with this thread. I'm not saying he's a great guy, I'm saying there is no need to discuss him in a derisive manner in here.

Mercedes Benz GL-Class, can't tell what trim level but it's still an $75000.00+ vehicle.

Really? Looks like poop without its rims and tires. It does look like a ford...

Jim Jamieson just wrote an article saying the Canucks are kicking the tires on Douglas Murray. Still not quite sure how I feel about that. I like his size and grit, not to keen on his mobility.

Upon further review, I don't think it is a Mercedes. The gas filler cover on a Mercedes is rectangular, and the image of Lu's car has an oval cover. I think it is a Ford...

Hell, the white kids all look the same to me now. Anyone under 25 is basically the same person now.

If they went after his rims, he's probably got the AMG sport package on it and is probably worth over $80,000.

My G/F is horrible . All white look the same doesn't matter about age or sex . She thinks I look like Brad Pitt and Phyllis Diller. Go figure.

What The F*** Facts‏@WhatTheFFacts1m
Ancient Egyptians believed that their god, Atum, created the universe by masturbating, so Pharaohs masturbated ceremonially into the Nile.


I wonder if that is where we get the saying "You are always in denial "

Ben Kuzma said he ran into David Booth two weeks ago and said he looked like he was buff. He said best shape of his life and would be ready to start in September.

Should Canucks look at a 3 mil + offer sheet for Henrique? Or trade.

Now would be the time to make that offer sheet with NJ in such turmoil right now.

Not sure what the controversy is with the Oilers fans. The team has awful for years. Not sure why they think adding Ference is going to change anything. Prospects are just that and young Dmen don't often turn a team around.
- micah555


N. Shultz a well respected top 4 d-man for years with Minny.
Ferrence a well respected top 4 d-man for years on a Stanley cup team.
Petry is young but has already been holding his own playing against the top teams top lines.
Smid solid top 4 D-man.
J. Shultz 12th in points for d-men in his first NHL season.
Belov widely considered one of the best defensemen in the KHL

A solid amount of depth and prospects pushing their way up the pipeline.

And most importantly a new coach. Coaching can have the biggest impact on a teams defense over all else. St. Louis w/ Hitch as an example.

By no means a power house. But considerably better than Calgary. At least equal to Anaheim.

With a good system/coach not really far off of Pho or San. Our Defense last year was better than most people realize and it did get better.

Edmonton was 19th in the league for goals against @ 134 in 48 games.

Calgary was 28th @ 160! in only 48 games. That's with Kipper and J-bo for most the year. There D-fence and goaltending are worse this year... and the OP has us worse... wtf.
