the $10 for beer in a small cup here doesnt allow fans to get rip-roaring drunk like the fans in vegas. Aside from vegas winning that might have a lot to do with it

Remedy:

Get downtown early & start at the Shark club & blast a J later. Pot cookie for added effect. Sneak in a mickey.

I sure hope they aren't going to hire anyone who is about to be fired like Chiarelli, Dorion, Bergeron, Snow or ones that have been fairly recently fired like Lombardi or Murray.
Nor am I interested in Holland or Armstrong.
Zito(CBJ) or Fenton/Poole Jr Nahville have been apprenticing for a few years under some pretty decent management groups.

Lombardi is intriguing in some capacity.
He has swung some nice deals over the years getting top talent. Carter for example

Poll:

Would Lombardi replace TL be suitable?

Well i must admit even my openminded optimism is taking a big hit this season.

3 consecutive years of massive injuries.
My expectations have not changed nor have i been disappointed. Waiting on prospects & the TDL & draft is once again what remains for us again. Not all bad but hardly exciting.

Other than BB there is not much good to say about this season & roster. Vanek has shown what a pro he is & will get us a good return i am sure of. Dowd i like & he will be a good 4th liner going forward. The D shows no signs of growth. Someone has to go at or before the TDL. I’m fairly certain Gaudette will get a chance this year & burning 1 year up of his ELC. Some see that as a waste but i don’t. Demko will get in a start or 2 near seasons end to wet his appetite. Nillson won’t be back.

guy gets 2 shutouts in his 1st 3 games then progressively gets worse all season. Very odd how he seems to be.

Not sure who they will target but I’m certain Linden stays if he wants to
- CanuckDon

They're still going to need a go between so I see him staying.

His track record says back-up at best.
Dime a dozen is all he is.

I can just see you with your Chaput jersey, in your Toyota Tacoma with your perfectly feathered hair and Nickleback pumping out of the sound system.

Funny story. Canucks play the Knights Friday night in Vegas. Saturday night there is a Nickelback concert in Vegas.

I half jokingly mentioned it to the guys I’m going with and they all shot down the idea.

U mention the Biebs isn’t playing?

If the NHL was the BPL the Atlantic division would be renamed the relegation zone.

Talk about weak teams 😂😂

No clue tbh
Couldn’t name one song.

That Flames GM is a wizard.
So many ppl focus on JB how about that Hamonic deal now? Could be 12OA. Possibly even better for NYI. Lets get that pick somehow since they need a D.

That flames pick will have a ticket to the lotto and watch it win. Wish Canucks can pry it off Snows need to improve now with D.

EG for Flames 1st/NYI 2nd

Wouldn’t that be a laugher 😂😂
Hamonic/4th for a 1st 2-2nds.
Overpayment or what?

I have heard Linden is running things now and Jim is on a leash as far as what he can do
- VANTEL

I would be more comfortable with Benning running things and Linden on a leash.

Brett Mackenzie traded to Owen Sound . He will play wth Gadjovich

Can we put them both in the dog pound?

Trevor from yesterday.

And will Gudbranson be moved or signed any time soon?

• “We haven’t really had discussion on re-signing him yet. And obviously we have been in contact with his agent throughout the year. And we in a situation right now where we will see how these next six or eight weeks unfold.”



How have you not had a discussion but yet talk to his agent? What do you talk to them about ? Good strip clubs? Deals on Sun glasses?

Secondly Why have you not discussed any contract talks? Time is ticking !

On a show me show them contract. Premature & keeps all options open done this way.

Last year was a show me contract.

I sort of hope he has an 8 week injury so he then holds all the cards to his future and is not left to the hands of the three stooges.

Linden on ufa's at trading deadline : "We are going to do what's right for the team with an eye on the future." #Canucks

You know if my boss came up to me two years in a row I would be smart enough to know things aren't working out and I would be looking for a new boss.

They signed him 5.5 months ago where they had most likely already gone through discussions of what Gudbranson wanted over short and long term contracts. Since then he has played 27 of the team's 40 games. I would bet the discussions with the agent were along the lines of "do you think his stock has improved?" to get a sense if the agent has moved from last year's numbers.

To me, writing is on the wall - he's gone. The team doesnt even deploy him in a top 4 role so it would be insane to pay him as such
