Keep the rookie with the save % of .891 (regular season) and .898 (playoffs)?????????? Exactly! If we have Demko we dispatch the Coilers in five. JR knows what it takes to win the Cup. He knows we need all three of Demko, Petey, and Hughes healthy. The rest of the guys can have career playoff performances and we won’t win. It’s the big three that matter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those first games where coilers seemed at least to me that they were getting calls in their favor while getting away with some dangerous infractions. Screw the nhl. But I will never stop supporting the Canucks. yup… the script changed following the suspension another nod to the oilers to help them… and Zadorov became a different player as well… we sucked game 4… game 5 we dominated We solved them… NHL calls says - ok that’s as far as you get… we gave up and sucked after that… this is big business money is involved… i will say it again the Canucks stepped aside and let the Oil advance… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They set themselves up to fail by endlessly throwing the puck away and having to resume defending. I have no idea why that went on for the better part of two periods.

Popular Post rychicken Posted May 22 Popular Post Share Posted May 22 In the disappointment of last night, I forgot to post this THANK YOU to those involved in getting this forum running last fall. Also to the admins and mods (even Deb) for keeping things on track. Thanks also to all the posters (mainly the ones I don’t have on ignore) for posting. Thanks to those who post tweets etc from the experts - blessed to have so much info on one site. Also, thanks to those who created the GDT and PGT and to Goalie for the predict the score contest (sorry I bowed out when I stuck in the hospital) I haven’t been this excited for next season in at least a decade. There will be some plot twists, and a lot of unknowns. There will be some pleasant surprises and some disappointments. However, the future looks bright. Enjoy the summer - training camp will be here a month sooner than we’ve been used to. 6 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no Demko, no show EP aside from two games, 50% QHs. And we get to game 7. We didn't need career performances to get by EDM, we just needed EP and QHs to add a bit more. Brock, Miller, Garden Gnome and Lindholm best forwards this post season. Only QHs gets a prop, and far from a career performance. If they were on, we'd beat Dallas and win the cup. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmok Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 43 minutes ago, Alflives said: Zadorov is a bottom pairing D. Joshua is a bottom six winger. They will both be replaced. We have very good management now. Benning, the moran, is gone. Zadorov was the best performing Dman in the playoffs (arguably myers). Yes he is a 4-5 guy but his skill and size on the back end won't get replaced. They need to try to retain him.. but it shouldn't be at any cost. before the playoffs I'd probably have gone to 4.5 (currently at 3.75) so less than a million raise. Seeing him perform in the playoffs I'd probably go to 5 depending on the term. I'd be very hesitant to go over 5 though. Joshua was not good in the playoffs outside of both game 1's. Don't have an issue of resigning him at a reasonable price.. but all the people talking about him making bank.. no way.. not on this team, he is definitely replaceable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisgruntledNucksFan Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 21 hours ago, Outsiders said: They never stopped trying but boy did they make it hard on themselves. Proud of them. Management has some tough decisions. Our bottom 6 was non existent this playoffs. I'd like to see that addressed with some grit and toughness. Technically garland lindholm and Joshua are our 3rd line and they carried us. Personally I’d like to address how the 11.8 million dollar man was non existent during the playoffs. Management really screwed up that extension . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a bigger picture going on though to be honest with you… I think there’s profit-sharing going on it’s a franchise… it’s a business I mean it’s a well-known fact that the more successful franchises help out the less successful franchises… To a certain extent… Kind of like how Canada is run all of us are propping up Quebec… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the spirit of humouring ourselves assume such a thing was even remotely plausible. That would mean 7 of the 32 teams would be "happy" with wining a Stanley Cup once every 30 - 40 years or so (the Oilers won't make it past Dallas). None of the 7 team owners would stand for that as the "business" you subscribe to involves paying back the fans of their teams with a shiny bobble every now and then otherwise they will lose interest = money for said owners. And the amount of people it would take to organize such a travesty would literally number in the 1,000's and a disgruntled employee or a patriot would have long ago become Deep Throat and blown the story open by splashing it over every newspaper in North America prompting an instant "rigging da game" investigation by Congress and every MP sitting in Ottawa. To do otherwise would have every said MP strung up their their privates by incensed constituents. The old saying "three can keep a secret if two are dead" could not be applied to a more deserving scenario than fixing who wins the Stanley Cup by a group of creeps (*cough* Bettman) sitting in a smoky room in the back of a Mexican strip joint in TJ. Does fixing of games happen, absolutely, but a very small group of dedicated people and in most case they are eventually found out. Now onto Quebec ... just kidding ... I don't need bombs mailed to my house thank you very much. Politics is touchy enough without us little people trying to wade into the swamp. GO CANUCK GO!!!!!

They prevent further growth of clots. Your body naturally breaks down clots and he'll have to wait for that to happen. There's a drug that can breakdown clots, but it's not a standard of practice for DVTs.....possible, but not standard treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
