You kinky bugger you.

It makes sense if you think about it. Imagine you just crushed drinks and watched sports with your partner? Gay dudes are living the dream

Just accept it now, Miller will walk for nothing as has been a Canuck tradition for many many years.

100%. If past behaviour is an indicator ... rumours until the trade deadline and then a justification that us fans could not be let down by trading him whilst in a playoff push.

As I've stated before, I'm not emotionally attached to the Canucks. I have no problem supporting a US team.

Seattle had another pretty nice draft

I see you were in the main boards thread for our 1st pick. I took an edible and read the whole thing. What a trip. Those dudes watch a lot of hockey lol
- CanuckDon

the swede bros say he's comparable to Eklund(SJS, not HB guy) so I guess value wise its a decent pick, hes only 17 right now so hopefully he grows a bit still. Still not a fan of taking a winger, if he was boa on Canucks board with no C/D right behind him, I would've just traded down and grabbed some C/D afterward

We'll see though.

Cut off the money and something will get done. Aquilini is to afraid of the fans. They chant fire AV and he does. The fans wont chant for a proper rebuild because their spending money to see a winner, so we have to look forward to continuous bubble teams while LA & ANA get bigger and better, it's going to get harder and harder for this team to make the playoffs in this division.

Why? Did they multiple players in Minis top 150 list?

We shall see. Seems like a faster Boeser. Times up perfectly to punt Boeser when he is ready

I dont pay much attention to his list, I follow my own and compare to some other people who actually do scouting and not 5 minute videos.

It's a good point, catering to the upper echelon in the fans that can afford to go to games (or live in Van for that matter) seems to be a thing. There's more of us out here than the 20K they can stuff into a rink ... and we do add up with our merchandise, attending road games, road trips to van when we can. There seems to be an obsession that FA can't let the team get bad enough for a rebuild or the brand will be irreparably damaged. Heck if they tanked it might be a good thing to drive ticket prices down and get some new blood in the building.

I used to spend $1000 on a weekend game trip to go see the Canucks with my wife. Ferries, tickets, meals, drinks, fuel, etc. haven’t been to a game in six years now. (frank) that stupid wiener Aquilini.

I know you used to give like a top 5 all the time. Screams players names from rough tops.

It used to be fun. Now it's just a bunch of prissy pants wanting this and demanding that.

I don't love every pick but I work with what the professionals give us. If they suck, they are fired and the next shmuck comes in to disappoint us.

I need hope again and I'll be back


Also, HFCanucks every year does a "so you think you can draft" thread and I usually post my picks there

(frank)en Mac. (frank). WTF.

Clearly you and I need to proof read first.

It's because Mac's are like "that's not a word, let me help you."

Do they whine as much over there about the same things all the time?

it's worse over there, but also better info mainly because more posters and more posts so higher chance of finding some knowledgeable posts if you're lucky enough to stumble across them

r/canucks is a good place if you're a homer who hates negativity, they didn't turn on Benning until like a few months before he got fired, they stayed loyal for a long time

i started on canucks.com way back in the day during the Gillis era and ive heard any overly negative posts there get deleted so that might be even better for homers


negativity-wise i'd guess it's

1. HF
2. HB
3. Reddit
4. Canucks.com
