Do we even have any Vancouver-raised Canadian players on our team?  I was a better hockey player than Conor Bedard in 2011 and could probably beat Carlos Alcaraz at tennis.  Times change.

 

Are you still upset with the 1994 Rangers?

 

I mean, I appreciate your fire and your passion but we’re just fans.  Here’s to the Canucks making some noise in these coming months.  

Often players from all different corners of the earth favour a team not related to their nationality. If I’m not mistaken EP 40 was an avid Vancouver fan as a young boy and longed to play here. There are other players too. 

 

I’m not upset with anyone. I just want to see Vancouver on the dishing it out side after years of getting manhandled.

 

Of course times change . History doesn’t. It’s never too late to serve justice. I’m not sure why you insist fans must forget the history of a team. 
Hell , I remember Buffalo spinning the wheel to draft first which likely set the course of the Canucks entire history.

Fair enough.

 

I guess what I’m saying is that if you’re half expecting someone from the Canucks to go after Marchand from an event that took place 13 years ago, you might be in for a let down.

For the handful of Canucks fans still hanging onto 2011 (13 years ago), they really need to let it go.

Half the fun of being a fan is the memories, both the good and the bad. If I wiped my slate clean I might end up rooting for Toronto or Edmonton.

 

I agree though, no one’s going to specifically target Ratly. I’d love it if they did though.

Game daaaaaay!

 

woohoo

 

this'll be a tough one  - for both teams, but hopefully more for the blobston ruins

[AussieCanuckinUK]

Cmon Nucks, please bring your A game, Demko needs to back up his hug snub with a stellar performance!! hate to say this but they need to copy the Flames playbook here and be in their face all night long!! Damn I wish Soucy was back, ....GO NUCKS GO!!!

[PhillipBlunt]

Was looking at the Bruins IR and Lucic is listed as having an issue with his ankle. That’s not why he’s not playing though. 

[Rip The Mesh]

Not too sure why the Canucks would want to do this. Insurance? This is the second time he has mentioned it so there must be at least a little smoke?

More balanced scoring I think.

 

Having Kessel allows us to drop our 3rd to 4th to make them the best 4th line of all time.

 

And have the best centre depth in the salary cap Era

 

Suter Miller Boeser

Mikheyev Pettersson Kessel

Hoglander Lindholm Lafferty

Joshua Blueger Garland

 

Roll 4 lines

Great playoff experience. We lack a lot of that in the dressing room right now. He knows how to win, and he has stated he doesn't care if he is scratched. 

[Shift-4]

Stuck in an all day board meeting. It's killing me already. I'm going to want carnage tonight!

 

Go Canucks Go!

What's the deal with a 3:30pm start? US Holiday?

Ok, weird I swore I saw a 3:30pm start, maybe just someone did a typo on Sportsnet. It's showing 4pm. That makes more sense.

Sportsnet always lists the start time as half an hour early to trick you into watching some pre game ads

Hope you feel better soon.

 

Every single person I work with has had it over the past couple of weeks. I'm the only one who wears a mask (to protect my Dad) and it's missed me.

 

Hate wearing a mask, it's been too long but it seems to be helping so .... I'll keep calm and carry on I guess.

 

Can we put a mask on Marchand today? Don't want to take a chance that he'll lick someone and make our team sick.

2 blue eye stamps.Mask no needed

Uh yeah. That’s the great thing about sports. Teams carry a legacy and history with them. Players are very aware of the history of the team’s jersey they pull on. I mean look at Glasgow Rangers and Celtic, 133 years of rivalry. You think the young foreign players in the sides, with no connection to Scotland, don’t understand that rivalry, lol. It’s the fans that drive legacies on. Not to mention, there’s a couple twins from that 2011 series who work closely with these guys. If the 94 Rangers and Fu&@Face Messier don’t make your blood boil (and same for Ratface)… guess you weren’t a fan back then?

I cant help it.My wife work in school.House full of germs always.We ware mask,vaccinated,No help

[Ghostsof1915]

Woke up this morning. To a text message from my friend in Toronto. He wants the Canucks to destroy Boston, and even more want's a Canuck player to wipe out Marchand.

One of the few things Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal agree on.

 

The Hockey guy's love of Boston and Dallas just puzzles me. Dallas especially. I get you liked the North Stars. But you'd think you'd transfer that loyalty to the Wild.

Good locker room guy from the sounds of it.

 

Does bring a ton of experience too. That would be my guess.

 

Kinda goes against the standards Tocchet has been setting though. Apparently the guy doesn’t stretch and doesn’t drink water.   But Tocc would know as good as anyone what he’s all about.

[Rip The Mesh]

Would be appropriate, would it not?
