I'm sure Lindros thought the same...

again, that wasn't the 80's. Lindros wasn't drafted until '91.

We're talking about McDavid playing back then, not Stevens in the now

It's impossible to compare eras, especially if we take players how they are now and transport them back in time.

I've played minimal ice hockey in my life but I'm sure if I went back to 1930 I could play in the NHL

I hear what you're saying, I just think you are wrong. I don't think you could have played in any era.

He made some bad mistakes last game, some weird turnovers at the blue line, but I still really like Schmidt.

Waiting to sign/trade for Schmidt cost them Toffoli, guy wanted to stay but Benning had other ideas.

Gretzky changed the way everyone played the game.

Lemieux was an immensely talented physical marvel.

McDavid is like a faster less defensively responsible Crosby.

How is Marky working out for you? Only 5 more years

Demko starting. Absolutely nutty start time, I have to stream the game on my 2nd screen at work

I mean, schmidt was here at the same time as toffoli last year so I'm not sure what you mean. I'd argue tanev out and schmidt is more fitting for what they wanted to do moving forward

I'm not even watching, just listening on the radio. but both d-men turn the wrong way and Mete walks up main street? First shot of the game. It's just so Canucks...

I don't know man. Do you think Jim would recognize the mistakes he's made? Sure doesn't seem like it because he keeps making the same ones...

Don't you remember an unnamed East GM said about buying out players the day before free agency so he can make the same mistakes again tomorrow.

Not sure if Myers was on a change or just coming on, but mete rushed down his side, juolevi tried to cover but mete had a few steps. Was a goal that demko would definitely want back

Pretty sure that looked like my beer league team (apparently from the 30s)



That's the 1958 Finals... so ya, I coulda been somebody!

Also, mom used to mark with a bottle of scotch. Made it more enjoyable.

I occasionally play with some of the canucks alumni. The guys in their late 60’s can still play. Phenomenal hockey sense and passing
