Early beers?


- LordHumungous

My first puff since Wed. damn norwalk.

The atmosphere at the jets game are kind of hit or miss sometimes. If the team is playing well that night, place is great. If not well it's like going to a canucks game i'm guessing.
- manvanfan

The last time I was there the atmosphere was great, but that was April 2015.

I'd still go and watch a rivalry game between 2 good teams or a playoff game, but just to go to an every day game? I'd rather watch it at home or a pub.

It's not fun, had it a few years ago.

Whoever said STFU in here last night a big thank you.

I get it, you guys are big fans but last night was annoying to watch on the ice and in here.

I will point out sitting having a coffee ,calm and not ranting just discussing.



I made a comment last night about the Swedish line being underwhelming and Golfing pointed out "yeah. but they are still our top players.". He is right and that has to change .

You are not going to move the Sedins an they have one year left and truthfully this year we have no replacements. Henrik actually still has game but Daniel has been a hindrance .

Seeing the last few games against the top teams exposes how old slow and soft we are. It is time to move assets.

Some of us including myself were praising Sbisa this year but if you can get a second round pick for him take it . This team needs a fresh start .

Miller Burrows and Hansen it was nice knowing you thanks for the service. Get those draft picks Jim.

I also have no problem with trading Edler or Tanev even if we unload the above mentioned contracts.


One more thing . Nuck4u try to remember Less is More .

I don't think the sedins are the top players anymore, I think they are just being given the chance to be the top players. Splitting up the Sedin's would be an amazing idea.

Tanev is probably the only top pairing D man we have. Other then Tree and hutton for potential to be top 4. Everyone else can go. We can't have young players on our D, Dallas is showing what it's like to have inexperience back there. Poor Hammer.

Who would have thought TB and Dallas would be tied with us this late in the year

It's expensive that's for sure. I buy my tickets for season ticket price from a friend.

Dallas yes, TB no. Even without stamkos I didn't think they would be this bad.

What I said is that they are still top players on our team, which they are. There aren't 5 players on the team better than them.

Sedins are not top talent in the league anymore just top talent on the Canucks .

I am ok with giving guys like Stecher Hutton Guddy more time but I would also be grabing Rasanen with a third round pick .

It's not the price so much as it is a comfort thing. If you aren't getting a great atmosphere at a live sporting event I'd rather have a bathroom nearby, decent food, good beer etc.

To bad Aquilini doesn't advertise the team that way.

I don't think they are tops even on the canucks anymore. As a pair I would put Bo and Sven ahead of them. When you are gifted first pp time and the easy assignments of course your stats are going to be higher then others. The stats are showing that Bo and Sven are doing just as well.

We need another monster defender? lol Had no idea that he was 6'7".

So you don't think that they are top 5 players on the Canucks anymore?

Did anyone catch Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer on SNL last night? it was hilarious.

The concourse is a nightmare in between periods.

Well I don't plan on playing the Sedins are D so I don't know why I need to talk about top 5.

He did stand out at the prospect game .

It's about context of what Vantel was saying last night and again today. They may be underwhelming but they're still among our better players or they are top players on the team.

Basically, we have a long way to go.

Horvat is emerging as the best overall player on this club. Sedins technically should be third line next year if we somehow can acquire a top 6 centre through the draft or otherwise. I love Sutter but if he is our 2nd line centre moving forward we are in trouble. Not saying Horvat is a true no 1 just yet but that's where we are. If Boeser can step in next year like Stecher has this year that would be great.

Watching Hank and Dank lately vs top 10 teams lately has been painful. A step behind the play most of the time and just pass pass pass and little to no shots. You can almost see the Dman on opposing clubs laughing at their cycle game now. I'm ok with LE as I feel he will have a better year next year as the team evolves. He's never been a first year guy on any club he's been on.

Sbisa and Miller honeymoon is over and hopefully JB is working those phones on Burrows to MTL…I would love to see Burr get one last run…he's earning it IMO.

Which is also why we need to be drafting forwards.at the top of draft. Not sure why some have been suggesting defenseman.

Bo is a given as the teams best. I still like Sutter as a third line center.

You are correct about where the Sedins should be playing . I hope Benning is not sitting back and respecting NTCs on expiring contracts.

Three of your biggest assets to move would be a bold move and I don't see it happening.(Tanev Edler Hansen). I could see one or for the right price two being moved.

Look at teams like Wpg and Dallas that have high end scoring and bad D. You need to take care of your back end first .

Oilers went all forwards for years and it took a long long time
