Had to search up "Blidh" thinking the op made a spelling mistake.

And no he didn't. This dude looks creepy for some reason.

Avalanche are picking up steam. We are in line to be sitting ducks...and I'm sitting here hoping it happens - how depressing.

Lose and improve to the bottom of the deck. That's where we're at.

It’s probably something to do with his eye blidhs.

For some reason?! I can give you at least four.

Avs are 0-2 against us this season, there is no chance they're going to take us lightly. Makar was out last night but he's listed day-to-day, think he plays tomorrow, Nichushkin is back, Rodrigues (Someone who I really wanted us to sign in the offseason) is back and he's been playing well. Manson might return tomorrow, leaving Helm, Landeskog and Byram as the only players they're missing. The reports of a new coach and all as well, everything is lining up for a blowout.

 

[VanJack]

Canucks continue to amaze with their hilarious efforts at defending. But for some reason they've been pure poison to the Av's.....who after their Cup win are struggling mightily just to get into the playoffs this year.

I'm guessing a lot of goals in this one......but it all depends on which goalie has the worst night. Canucks should be locked and loaded in the Bedard sweepstakes, but a win in games like this will probably rob them of the chance.

NHL players are just creepy looking guys sometimes.

Another example:

What on earth did our franchise do to him?

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Going to this game from Victoria for a guys trip. First Canucks game in 8 years. Despite the shit we Canucks fans have to deal with, I am really looking forward get to see Pettersson and Hughes play live for the first time. Horvat as well. Last time I saw him live he was playing on the 4th line, Jannick Hansen collapsed on the bench( scary as f***), Calgary scored on their own net, and Chris Tanev scored the OT winner( thanks Benning).

Going to wear my Horvat jersey I bought in his rookie year, as this may be the last time I see him live.

The worst offender, has to be none other than Brandon Tanev.

I mean just look at this:

I...I don't even know what to say. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

It's like...Brandon, how many lampshades made of human skin do you have? And how long has that bucket of sulfuric acid been sitting in your garage?

Senile sleepy JR and incompetent clueless PA replace Bruce only to get a new convicted criminal coach bump and not make playoffs and reduce Bedard odds

Classic

 

[Sedinery]

Watching the Panthers stick up for Staal after a Matheson cheap shot was so refreshing after watching the wuss Canucks

 

[rypper]

If we're talking ugly nhl players. (Or bad pictures...)

 

[Brookbank]

All of this Bedard talk. I don't think we need to get #1. It would be just as good to get #2 or #3. Bedard can sign his first free agent contract with us. Then we have Fantilli and Bedard.

 

[Brookbank]

Nichushkin is back,

We could have easily signed him. Then we would have had the 9th and 10th pick from 2013. But nope. Benning was diving through the wrong garbage cans

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Yup. Imagine that. (The Canucks DID try to get him to go in their next game, and Matheson ducked every chance, resulting in this HILARIOUS troll job from Max Domi: Max Domi appeared to absolutely rip into Mike Matheson during intense NSFW rant in the penalty box - Article - BARDOWN ). But yeah...I wouldn't have given him an option. Take the 2 for instigating.

Matheson is a punk.

…is that normal?

…is that normal?

It’s a dumb question. “Is it normal to conduct practice without the coach?” No, Love, it’s not. That’s the coaches job.

Jason King is running practice. Still a little weird. Maybe he got stuck in traffic?

 

[Love]

Yes.

Ok never mind then, guess it wasn’t a dumb question. My apologies, Love.

I had the same question and Batchelor knew what everyone would be asking.
