I checked out the Canadian rooster earlier today. To send a team of mid calibre lads to battle hardened warriors is quite ridiculous imo.
I used to be a hardcore hockey fan. Watched every Canucks game. But after Edmonton drafted Mcdavid, the league put in a new draft rule to mix up the top draft spots, and who was the first team to get absolutely positively fucked from the new rule ? The Vancouver Canucks. In any other year , the Canucks were guaranteed a top 2 pick. But they fell to 5th spot.
That was it for me.
If Petterrson or Hughes leave that will be it for me as well.
If Jim Benning stays, ditto.
I'm not that much a fan anymore, but I do like the Nuckers. Pettersson is a super player given the stamp of approval by none other than The Geat Gretsky.
Quinn is excellent.
As for the rest of the team.........................not great, just a blue collar crew.
Toronto won tonight, Russ - 5-1 just fyi.
Boo hoo!
Down with the Maple Leafs!
Down with all things Toronto!
Thanks for the update MM.
Vive le Quebec.
Vive le Quebec libre!
[QUOTE=pickel;4262211]They extended his contract 4 days ago. Extended Coach Greens too.[/QUOTE
Greens I agree with, Benning no way.
I hope we give it a run next season.
What's the skinny on Pettersson by the way?
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Keep your stick on the ice.
I've been meaning to get back into the Canucks. I stopped because I realized it was too negative and I had more negative feelings than it was worth. You have to win sometimes to make it worthwhile. But its a good game. My wife got into it right away. Watching a game was a perfect way to blow an evening. I guess I need a TV subscription of some sort. Just Netflix wont cut it.
Weren't Horvat and Boeser supposed to be pretty good ? Horvat seems like too much of a "2 way" player to me. There has to be some unapologetic 1 way players too. Maybe that's Petterson.
edit: Who's that other big kid again ? Jake ? I never liked the pick. Another "2 way" pick.
I'll wait till next season then.Hyper-extended wrist. He'll be back next season.
he's been suspended due to an investigation into a sexual assault.
I gotta read the paper more often. Looks like a civil suit.
I don't think this guy with a 5 million dollar a year paycheck in his pocket would be violently raping women. But that's just me. But again. I didn't like the pick. I thought he was mediocre. Didn't think he earned a 5 million/year bridge deal
To be fair, it happened 4 years ago in a hotel room she agreed to meet him in, and there aren't criminal charges.
To be fair
Take your shit somewhere else

Britain lost their second game to Slovakia 1-2
Not bad
Denmark will lose later today
Swizerland is too strong
Go Denmark!
I don't think this tournament is being carried on Canadian T.V. I can't find it in any case.
When you take the wife and a couple of teenage children to the game and have a few snacks while there and the exercise runs you three hundred bucks plus it soon becomes a t.v. sport helge.
Generally though I agree.
When a player is taken into the boards head first the actual sound of the skull cracking does not quite come across on the t.v.
A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.
Know what you mean, Russ
We do not have that hefty prices in Denmark though
The expensive danish players are outsourced to Canada
