And it has just been too nice here in Vancouver to use my evenings watching games so I really don;t have any opinions... not that that has stopped me in the past.

I totally agree with Willie Mitchell's comment "WTF"

We in Vancouver have the same reaction to McCann except "WTF" = Win The Faceoff --- which he never ever did.

Possibly?

I cannot stand the sport to be honest. It doesn't seem like you're allowed to defend your own basket without it being a foul. Coupled with the 90 minute last 2 minutes.

Although I know everyone here is an expert , when I see his team shocked and openly expressing sadness to see him go, I will take their word over anyone here about the type of player he is

Lets face it it ---- it is an ugly Hockey Buzz truth that the more people troll a trade, the more they fear it's success. Hence how no one talked about Phaneuf going to Ottawa.

I saw they won a couple and most people thought they'd get swept. So at least that's a positive??

I honestly don't really know.

My favorite moment of the game (which I did not watch) was the TSN highlight package. It was 8 seconds long, showed one basket and then OUT! ---- damn hilarious!

NFL = 10mins of action that is a 60min game that takes 2.5hrs to finish.

Wonder why metric is not used in the US?

Ya know ---- THAT --- right there is the height of hypocrisy....

5 Years ago the Canucks were winning Art Rosses, President's Cups, 1 7th game final loss --- and some damn good firebrand hockey. But Toronto fans they never won the cup so none of it mattered... yet now all I hear is how the Jays and Raptors are Canada's teams for doing far less than the Canucks did.... I am not pointing my finger at you but you know it is true of the general fanbase in the universe's centre.

Gudbranson clearly plays a style that his teammates appreciate and many different people have said that he is great character guy, no one is denying that.

I can see Fla players upset that they are losing a guy that helps them win now because they are finally in a position to make the playoffs every year.

None of that mean that Gudbranson is the savior some are making him out to be or that the price to acquire him wasn't too much. He is a good role player and will add some much needed toughness, maybe he is a late bloomer and develops an offensive game.

He helps the Canucks right now no doubt and also likely for the next little while. I'm not sure if he helps the Canucks get significantly better moving forward and I'm not sure that McCann a 2nd and 4th do either but it is another example of this mgmt not being patient and trying to take short cuts to rebuild this team.

I hope it works out but I can't think of many teams that have been able to rebuild on the fly the way the Canucks are attempting.

He hits those numbers its a home run.
I see him as more a beast to play against the Kings Ducks & Sharks.
Hutton & Larsen to be the offensive point getters.
Edler will be Edler.

- Nighthawk



Asking Gudbrandson to score 35 point is like asking Karlsson to be Sens new goon or Dorsett to be the PPQB.

This team is just beginning to change and panic has set in.

For those who don't know Gudbranson punches faces ,clears players from the front of the net , and sticks up for team mates. He is not Bobby Orr and we did not trade Patrick Kane.
