Pre-Game Talk: Canucks @ Flames. Wednesday. SNET. 7pm

[Sharpshooter]

they aren't rewarding him... they are trying to find lightning in a bottle.

Has anybody ever actually found lightning in a bottle??

Yes we can agree at first blush, Sutter with the Sedins is silly. BUT I'm ok with it if it is what keep McCann from being bookended by the facepunchers. This allows him to be on a more offensive like with Burrows and Hansen.

It doesn't keep McCann from being bookended with face punchers, it keeps Sutter from being bookended with face punchers to save Benning's face. Honestly they should put Sutter with them, it would make the team stronger, it would improve both the 1st and 4th lines quite a bit.

 

[Josepho]

Ugh. Have hockey practice tomorrow, gonna miss most of the 2nd half of the game. :/

 

[Bougieman]

As long as Hutton, McCann, Horvat play well maybe get some points I really don't care who wins.

Yeah right. So it's a tie game with 10 minutes left, and you're like "Meh. Whatever. Horvat and McCann got goals. I can turn it off now. Got what I came to see."

"HANK, DANNY... Try this guy!!"

 

[me2]

To be fair the Sedins have made a lot of chumps look good, I'm sure they will get something out of Sutter if they can get 30 out of Carter or anything out of Brookbank. At the end of the day the team would probably be better off with someone else there and Sutter being used to his best ability with plugs since he didn't really need the wingers to be good.

Touche.

Though I was being literal.

Retroactive full NTC. First of its kind.

I have laughed way to hard at this. AV's face is just perfect

One game sample size. Against Edmonton. I want Virtanen with Bo too. Im just willing to give the coaches a couple weeks to find the lines that work. Remember its game 1. We have a lot to go and nothing is set in stone yet.

One game sample size...so what? It worked. It worked very well. So why not increase that sample size to see if it's legitimate?

If at first you succeed don't do it again.

Under the 3.3M cap hit contract: "Full NTC appended to final year of contract when player signed extension in 2015."

GAAAH. The second that was signed it became one of the worst contracts in the league.

Yeah, preach. It's like going on a date with a girl and hitting it off with her but than not pursuing a second date because the sample size was too small. Just makes no sense, whatsoever.

Haha, on the GeneralFanager website they cite themselves as the source for the retroactive NTC.

I'll still watch the rest of the game to see if Horvat/McCann/Hutton/Virtanen get another goal/points. Could care less if we win or lose. I'll still complain if Sbisa does something stupid or Miller sucks though because I want to be very vocally against management.

TROLLING - Posts, threads, or content copied or referenced from other areas of the site with the sole purpose of creating a dispute, demeaning other fans, or getting a rise out of our users will not be tolerated. This rule applies to Canucks fans as much as it applies to fans of other teams.

• If you only come to the boards to make posts that are deliberately inflammatory, that is considered trolling. Please find more creative and varied ways to contribute to the discussions. For example, constantly posting “we suck, blow it up” in the GDTs would fall under this rule. If you're only going to show up when the team is losing and remind everyone how right you are, it will be considered trolling.

• You are welcome to venture to other team boards and partake in discussions with other fans given that they respect both those fans and the rules. Be mindful of the comments you make whilst you are there - venturing to another team's board solely to be critical or antagonistic is trolling and is not permitted.

• Alternately, fans of other teams are allowed to come to HFVancouver and partake in discussions with us given that they respect the rules. The presence of another team's fan merely reading our threads does not fall under trolling.

• Please report any post or thread you believe to constitute trolling, but do not reply.

It's a discussion board which means you discuss things, not complain for the sake of complaining. Especially if you're going to blatantly admit it. I assure you that Canucks management isn't reading these boards so only posting to be vocally against them isn't fostering discussion.

Oh......

Thank you for warning me before I mess up. I guess I won't be complaining.

Don't want any strikes.

Read it again. Complaining is fine. Only coming here to complain isn't.

This rule applies to everyone and has been in effect for almost 6 months. This isn't new nor shocking.

Go Canucks! Only one day until fake complaints can't be compiled. Thank you regular season.
