i think it was because, i never had my dad in my life. i know i always enjoyed playing catch with my son. my grandson has no interest in any sports. computer nerd.

i also had a hitch in my heart during the final scene from the field of dreams. i loved all of kinsella's books and his stories made into movies.

garland and myers cap hits =
petey's new deal.
beauvillier and coles cap hits =
hronek's new deal.
both players are rfa's
8 ufa's 4 rfa's
i think they resign lafferty, podkolzin, desmith and maybe joshua and blueger.

cap friendly has us with 31 mil in cap space with 12 players signed add about 19 mil for petey, hronek and desmith's new contracts. that leaves about 11 mil to sign
7 or 8 players. we'll need a 4th line, a 13th forward, a #4,5, 6 and 7th d-men.
i see lafferty, bluegar, podkolzin and maybe joshua signed for forwards.
i see bear with soucy and hirose for 7th d i don't know who makes 5 and 6th d-men.

We will see how much Petey wants to be here based on the numbers of his contract.
If we can get EP40 for $11-12 Million we're laughing.
My concern is DeSmith and Cole. DeSmith will be 33 next August. Cole will be 35 in February.
Both are playing very well. I'm worried will they want money and term? Or just term?
Blueger, and Lafferty I hope will be affordable options and stick around.
Hronek hopefully won't ask for crazy money and term.
Brock is living up to his expectations and contract. And I'm really happy for him.
The team needs to still get more depth, and better players. And more speed.

our future defense should be hughes, willander, kudryavtsev, hronek, pettersson, brzustewicz i see everybody else as place holders.

4 to 0 van mikheyev with gwg. his line with 6 points
-
on a hockey blog, one knowledgeable hockey guys said, the canucks have 2 top 4 d-men and the rest vare bottom pairing d-men.
kind of puts things in prospective.
-
better effort but we lost all the board battles. tocchet won't be happy withn that part of their game.
-
Watching the start of the season so far, it feels like we just may not have enough players that can win those battles, and it really stands out given how much Tocchet has emphasized that part of the game. Maybe we need to keep the pucks away from the boards more often and stop ringing it around in the D-zone or dumping it in the offensive zone and failing to retrieve it.
-
IMO we miss a healthy Pearson in this regard. I think we hope Joshua Guiseppe Podkolzin could be that guy maybe we try Bains. The reality is we don't have a guy in our top 9 who can win a board battle outside of Miller and that would detract from Millers value and be the difference between him scoring 80 VS 60 where if we had a Burr to step up right now that would be a "Difference maker" Miller would put up 80-100 and our board battler would put up 40-50 instead of 20-30 playing bottom 6. the sad reality is we have a bunch of guys tailor made for this role but none of them are willing yet to seize it.

3 to 2 van in a shoot out kuzmenko with winner
-
philly is kicking oiler's butts 4 to 1 with under 4 minutes to play.

teddy bears, then i fight back if they don't growl too loud.

seravalli says canucks are close on a garland trade. says they have some proposals to consider. apparently someone said they will trade if canucks hold back 1.9 mil and canucks said no. and the beat goes on.
-
can anyone explain beauvillier's game to me? is ha a goal scorer, playmaker, strong board battler, good defensive forward, great pk'er, strong on the pp or speedy? i trying to figure out where he best fits on this team

Basically what @Jim Tim said. He doesn't do any particular thing well--just okay at everything. I don't think he really has what it takes to hold down a top 6 role without tons of support and probably doesn't play hard enough in the corners for a bottom six role.

i suggested garland to chicago for a prospect and our own 2nd round pick back. friedman said, chicago could use garland more than any other team.
-
last game was my fault. everytime i take canucks to win, they lose. 2 to 1 tb in a shoot out. suter win canuck's lone goal.
-
friedman on marek's show said chicago needs more scoring. he said he thinks garland would be right for chicago. he wonders if chicago would have what canucks would want? interesting.

5 to 2 van hughes with gwg
-
what does the son got that i don't got?
-
i thought mikheyev wanted to play in the first game how long can it be for him to play?
-
i wonder if nashville would go for garland, a mil retained for jack matier and a second?
-
i haven't been impressed yet with, beauvillier, garland or juulsen.
when the blueg gets back, i'ld like to see lafferty on the 3rd line and beau as the 13th forward.
petey's line has 9 points
miller's, 10 point
4th line 6 points and 1 point for line 3.
how about hoglander..suter..lafferty.
joshua.. blueger.. studnika.?
-
canucks won last night but we were seriously outplayed for much of the game. we are still a ways away from being contenders.
-
but didn't intend
-
what if they retained 1.5 mil, sent him to nashville for a second and a prospect? not ideal but trying to make the best of a bad situation.?
-
i see garland always noticeable in games. i might be wrong but i can't say the same about beauvillier. am i missing he's efforts?

Yes. There was talk about trading AB when he was hot after he first arrived. Would have been a good scenario. Someone has to move on (Illya Mikheyev should be considered as well). Or these guys eat up the raise EP needs in the off season. Cap increase should work in everyone's favour.. I think the end result is the D never fully recovers from OEL's cap hit and we keep young guns in rotation (hirose mcward willander)
