Well said.

Now that Hansen has a Hatty under his belt do we have to stop calling him Hands of stone Hansen.

Should we all start making bets whether or not Bo stays or goes back to Junior.

He did deserve it seeing he took a year and a half vacation

He has been playing great positional hockey and I am not worried about him too much he has come to camp in better shape every season and works hard. He'll come around.

Just heard that Pat Quinn died!!!
What a sad loss!

One of the best things about this forum is the swings in perceptions of players through the season, usually based on a few preceding games.

Kassian was making good strides, just needed some time, and was on track to be the next Bertuzzi because, you know, Bertuzzi took some time and every power forward follows the same trajectory. Now I'm hearing he couldn't even get a place in Utica and should be waived.

Hansen had hands of stone and was included in every salary dump trade proposal, but now after scoring 5 goals in 3 games he's solid and should be held on to.

Bo went from 2C upside, 3C safe bet to the next Henrik Sedin that is worth more than E Kane straight up.

Oh what will tomorrow bring I wonder...?

Here's the news.

Negative. I've been requesting one.

Man, can't believe you potentially traded away McDavid/Eichel

Great finish by Hansen. Still wouldn't mind trading him, value is high, but can't complain if he stays.

Kassian... who knows if he will get much better or just continue to show glimpses and small periods of good play.

From last nights performance, I still wonder what Horvat will look like in February if he stays with the club? Tired out and in over his head or just hitting his stride and continuing to improve? Somewhere in the middle?

anyway, it was a good showing last night. The Canucks didn't look like a team in over their head against a strong opponent. But I figure big teams like LA and Boston, who play a heavy style, will continue to give the Canucks problems.

Bonino can make some sweet passes.

Overall, Kassian can can still hit and intimidate. Hodgeson can't do that. I would rather give up with 10 or so goals I think that Hodgeson will likely get over Kassian per season but I think the intangibles or strength and intimidation will equate to more years each year.


EDIT ------ HOLY SMOKES --- Hodgeson has 1 goal in 21 games?????????? Screw that Kassian has double that!

Win Vancouver.

Kassian half asses almost every single one of his plays. Doesn't matter if it's a hit, or a shot, or a back check. The only play he doesn't half ass is when he passes. Even then though, after he passes, he admires his pass instead of getting into position.

I watched him warm up yesterday. Dude missed the net on half his shots; the net was empty...

He brought respectability to the Canucks. Seemed like an absolutely awesome guy on top of that. He'll be missed. I hope the Canucks do something to honor him

I am amused how so called hockey insiders suggest replacing a top teams top Dman with a waiver wire pick up. Maybe some one should give them a Wickipedia lesson to show them it means they were not good enough to play on their current NHL team.

Getting a real top 4 young Dman will also help the progress of the teams future. Yes it will cost a lot.
- VANTEL

Yeah we should trade for another K Ballard

I'm gonna be there tonight; hopefully he scores.

I was at the game too... great game!

Yeah dude, wicked game. I had my homie with me, and he's a huge Blackhawks fan. We were sitting pretty close to the glass in section 104. Saw Kane get absolutely destroyed up close. It was nuts haha.

I guess this is one way to fix the issues.

Sad to hear about Quinn. Was probably the most rookie friendly coach in all of NHL.

Name the last goalie who improved in EDM. That's your reason for Chabot firing.
