Weiss has more goals then anyone on the Canucks thus far this season with 8. What does that say about all your options?
- jayteeisr

Is that Stephen Weiss??? Heck you don't even know how to spell the guys name.

Hookers, sports car and lots of money. Everyone knows if you want the Russians to come play here this has to be included in their contract

Weed should be before the game that way you don't care who wins.

I still care.
Then I watch The Grateful Dead on youtube.

He will end the season with 8.

Team1040 fired Jeff Paterson.
Hopefully they continue and let go 90% of the on air people and rebuild like the Canucks.

I'd like to see them get rid of Sekeras, Bro Jake, Moj, Big Ry Twitter Guy to start.

I found his voice annoying. Did they say why he was fired?

Yeah, it was like he was making up a fake radio voice. He was even worse on tv, his hands waive all over the place when he talks.

Not sure why he was let go, he didn't really have a regular spot.

Does anyone miss the old 4 on 4 overtimes? Bear with me, but having looked at the 3 on 3 overtimes, it would seem players are so extremely tentative and worried about making a mistake, that the amount of chances created are very small (which seems counterintuitive)

This compared to the overtimes last year, which were, for the most part, very exciting and fast, with a lot of end to end rushes (there didn't seem to be any players holding back and the flow of the overtimes was much smoother than the herky-jerky 3 on 3. And I feel the four on four created just as many - if not more opportunities to score.

Anyone else feel this way (and please note I mean this with respect to the entire league and not just Canucks)

I just read Bell Media and TSN have made some cuts . He was part of the axe swing

I like the 3 on 3 . I think in the long run it will make us get younger and faster. Adapting with the new era

Yes, I thought I would love 3 on 3, but I actually hate it. There is too much of one guy holding on the puck, limiting the team sport. There was actually one OT where Hansen had the puck on his stick for like 20 seconds straight waiting for line changes and just twirling around. I would rather the game end quick and painlessly with a shootout these days

I think 3/3 is ending more games (as compared to last season) rather than the stupid shootout. But I hear you. I know we suck at 3/3 so far but really it hasn't been all that impressive.

Did you hear they are talking about eliminating icings on PK's to increase scoring as well??



Just have 10 min on 5/5 OT and if it ends in a tie so be it. Loser gets NO points!!!! As it should be for losing. It would barely affect the math of the whole situation and would eliminate the teams playing for 3 point games down the stretch.

I find it more exciting. There are excellent chances every 10 seconds it seems.
We use to suck at the shootout now we suck at 3 on 3.

The way around it is don't sit back when you have the lead, don't shorten the bench , and trust your skilled guys , don't just look to see how many years service they have.

I agree that as a whole there are more exciting chances and if it wasn't November the intensity might bring me to the edge of my seat. But I have seen a few OT's around the league where teams are really cautious getting it started and that's the part that bothers me to watch. The amount of time one player holds onto the puck and turns back to regroup before starting the chaos, doesn't reflect good hockey to me, reminds me of watching the Timbits kids in intermission

It is ending a lot more games before the shoot out. Canuck fans would enjoy it a lot more if they were 6-0 and not 0-6

Cam Mitchell, Matt Baker and Perry let go also. Cmon Bro Jake

Perry Solkowski?

Didn't Matt Baker just do producing and news updates?

Sounds like they are getting rid of the wrong people.

Was listening to Taylor, Moge and McDonald the other day and they were going all passive aggressive on each other. Had to turn it off when Moge started sounding like the most professional of the three.

I have nothing against ties. and would prefer it over the shoot out and 3v3.

Imagine if golfers who were tied at the end of a round had a longest drive competition to determine the winner of the match? a round of mini golf? or a little putting competition?

Golf is boring enough as it is, I wouldn't mind something like that to determine who wins instead of a playoff. Golf's become less about who the actual BEST golfer is to who can drive the ball the longest and make the easier iron shots to get close to the pin. It used to be that the driver was the least important club in the bag, now it's the most important next to your putter. Iron play is becoming secondary to being able to hit the green on the first shot and then putting.

One dimensional ha he plays forward and defence. Big skilled and can skate. Plays on the edge every game. He is exactly what this team needs if he can stay in shape.
-thundachunk

Yes he plays defense, on offense he stands in front of the net and screens a goalie. I'll challenge the skilled part and I think he's a plodder of a skater. And he does have a shape...it's called bulbous.

I know people have players they like over others, and for the skill-set Buff has and for the wages he's paid, I personally am not in favour, you watched him develope through junior and have a soft spot for him, and that's great but, hopefully he stays in Winnipeg.

I think you provided perspective for both sides... I think the playoff holes are similar to 5 minute overtime.

Is there anything wrong with a tie? Media and such may not like ties and some say it as though you have 2 losers, I think there is a certain level of integrity with the tie. Really, reducing the number of skaters in an effort to create scoring just goes to show the need to increase the size of the ice surface.

Length of the golf courses need to be increased for more iron play...

I like Buff and think he is a very unique and imposing player but I just don't see him as legit top pair D because of his consistency. I think he would demand a long term contract and won't live up to it at all. I am on board for adding bruising bodies, I would even take a chance on Chris Stewart as a Lucic-lite, but Buff isnt someone I throw big money and term at for the Canucks at this time of their transition
- WhiteLie

Buff is a demon on the PP both as a D and a F. Fix our special teams and we start winning more games.... we want our kids in a winning enviroment. He's big and physical as hell... which gives the youth more room. He has foot speed considering his big ass... he offers so many things hat it's hard to find something the Canucks don't need. With so many ELC's on our roster and with more to come... the hand wringing over money is unnecessary.

His inconsistency seemed to be an issue in MTL but he's been solid in the Peg.

I wouldnt be surprised of the Canucks insisted on it. I wouldnt agree with it but he was worse than some of our worse whiners when it came to the coach.

He spent an entire pre game show calling JB out for planning on starting Bachman over calling Cannanta up and starting him... after we won... he devoted the whole post game show on it still being a bonehead move in spite of the win. He's been ranting non stop over petty poop clogging up the air time non stop. He's worse than some of our pants wetters.
