Vantel as the barometer of what's good & bad in here.
- Marwood

Vantel and I didn't agree on everything obviously but he sure was right about you.

Enjoy isolation champ.

Since we are on the subject of the Missing Link I thought I’d post this oldie but goodie...



And some of you pooped on induction onto the ring of horror. Shame on you!

I can't watch that. I'll spend my spare time on Debauchery. All within Covid-19 protocol of course.
- VanHockeyGuy

I would rather watch that then go on social media.

Kind of like our boat anchors and Pod?
- VanHockeyGuy

Truthfully I don’t get to see Podkolzin enough to give an informed opinion, but I give one anyway lol; not overly excited by what I’ve seen, hopefully his game transitions well to North American ice surfaces.

Cool, you enjoy your comic books and cartoons.
- Marwood

You bet bud. Enjoy your dope and misery.

Reading about Dylan Cozens, looks like Buffalo got a good one in this kid. Having Eric Staal allows him to continue to develop properly.
- Pacificgem

I wasn't as high on Cozens as a lot of others were. Still haven't seen a player that could take it to the level of his draft status.

got to go, child needs computer for online dance classes for the next 3 hours

[u]Be kind EVERYONE.

I’ve watched a few of his fights over the past few days, Odjick, he was pretty tough.

You need to purchase an iPad so you can continue to talk nonsense continually with the other knuckleheads in here, myself included in that reference

Me too. I just laugh when the kid gets penciled in the top 6 before setting foot on NA ice.

Looks like Trudeau will have to disband the RCMP. A national embarrassment of an institution.
- Marwood

Who is going to disband Trudeau and this corrupt government then? They are far worse than the general population of our RCMP.

Jim Sandlak, who I thought was a good player, type of deal?

Mike Peca taken in the second round that year, damn that was a really great pick, he was a tremendous hockey player

I think it’s just hope that drives fans to do that. He’s had success in jr hockey, high draft pick, and now is captaining Russian international teams.

But I agree, we all need to have low expectations... it is the Canucks after all.

I remember seeing him at a Canucks training camp in Victoria and being very impressed. A few years later he got them Mogilny.

"[Höglander's] improved throughout this summer, very dedicated to his own development. His shot has gotten even harder, it’s NHL-plus level for sure."

"I think everyone within the [#Canucks] will be very impressed with him."

Real fans understand that.

He was 10th overall in 1988?

Edit: oh...I get it, you’re saying he’s Teemu

Another Canuck management (frank)up story. Traded for Mogilny right?

No. His crushing hit.

In retrospect they should’ve kept Peca and continued to build, kid was a gamer, he was a playoff battle tested guy. Oh well, this is why we’ve never won a Cup
