They say they want to retire as Canucks, but that could change if they want to be great guys then waive the no trade, (Vancouver holding money ) go to a contender next year's trade deadline and get a chance at a cup,and let the team get some picks/prospects back then sign a one day contract back with the Canucks and retire! Easy peasy!

They've become the muskoka crew along with Edler... one of them needs to be traded. Henrik is the better of the two. Edler should go as well.

The Leafs win a game and their fans are still crapping their pants in fear.
Don't worry kiddies, the Leafs are playing the Choke Champions of the NHL.

The Baby Upstarts will get their pacifiers handed to them in Pittsburgh.

We'll take some second round action if we can get it. Your team made the playoffs for an unbelievable 25 straight years. Very commendable. Unfortunately, good things come to an end, and it appears the Wings are going to suck for a long time, while the Leafs will be doing nicely, thank you very much.

And that's part of what happened to the leafs! The sundin offer was a 1st, Subban, Grabowski, and Higgins, their might have been something else from t.o.,like a pick or prospect? But these dam no trade deals got to go!at least a ten team trade list?

you got lots of booze for tonight's stress test?

Jim was put under certain constraints by ownership. I believe those constraints lead to some poor decisions.

I also believe those constraints are removed now.

Linden - your president, has no experience, nice guy, maybe, useless - for sure, has done nothing of any measurable quality to date - certainly - IS GARBAGE

Benning - certainly one of the worst GM's in the NHL if not the bottom of the heap. Moron would be both kind and an understatement. Has not won a trade, and picked Juolevi ahead of Tkachuck. And is therefore GARBAGE

The Coach was fired and will be replaced by some mickey mouse GARBAGE

The ownership is letting all this go on and is therefore GARBAGE

The Team's centerpieces are two 57 year old twins that play soft and score about 50 points for $7 million a year, therefore the team is GARBAGE

No wonder you hang around here, Because You are GARBAGE

Don't be shy, make yourself at home, jump right in.

Why do you love the Canucks so much?

I was surprised by the stats because I like the guy....but....numbers don't lie
- DamnBrasKiss

He does struggle a bit without the puck in his own zone....but i do have a man crush on him still

82 games is not a big enough sample size to put any value to the "advanced" stats.
especially not with those relative minor differences.

It's fun how these advanced stats 'wizards' are not even able to determine a correct sample size to their 'findings'.

Advanced Stats have virtually no value - until after a player's active playing career..

Well, I'm off to see the wizard, and by wizard I mean Mathews and his hat trick tonight.

I'm not talking about advanced stats, just from watching him...I do like him....not sure I'd sign him for 7 years but I'll cheer regardless of what Lou/Shanny do.

Be nice if he scores soon.

Ya that would be great! really hoping for him and Nylander to have a game!

If his line is the third line tonight? Then I think we're in for a great show!

How about the Granlund for Shinkaruk trade? Or Baertschi for a 2nd?
No one knows how OJ will do at this point. JV still early, only 20...
Eddie Lack for 3rd and 7th
Burrows and Hansen trades this deadline.

Not all bad moves.

No not really, and all teams have made them!I've been watching this one for 45 years!(in leaf years that 75)lol Ya I know I'm franking old! But as Chicago, Pittsburgh,toronto, buffalo, and the king of tanks Edmonton, as well as a few others,if you want a franchise player it's the way to go?

yeah, him and backstrom... ovie is invisible so far... oshie had a shift or two...

Toronto has really done a number on these guys to shut them down like this... hard to believe its actually been this close...
- kaptaan

Harder to believe that you are still here. Isn't your shift over? Doesn't some other Vancouver fan get the short straw for this week. Perhaps they all have too much self-respect to bother.
