Watch the reaction of Bo on the Edler goal. The guy was just so pumped like in route to the cup, he just loves to win. I think hes gonna be such a winner for us when we get back to the playoffs. No quit in him and loves to win more than ANYONE

guess who

imagine getting a bust when you're drafting top 5 in the 2016 draft hahaha

Juolevi hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet

 

[valkynax]

Suck on that McDavid.

 

[Serac]

Can't wait to buy at the deadline

Vancouver wins the Sam Gagner Invitational. The prize is a signed picture of Sam Gagner with a broken jaw (value: $0). Congratulations, Vancouver.

 

[TruKnyte]

Yeah like we should be talking

Makes it worse when you realize the next 3/4 picks were Tkachuk, Keller, and Sergachev.

*EDIT* Forgot it was Alex not William Nylander.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Colour me extremely impressed. That was a very well played game by the Canucks - to a man, I’d say. Concerted team effort in a rock solid win.

Biggest props of all to Bo Horvat - he did supreme heavy lifting limiting McDavid to 1 shot on goal (by my count).

And nice to see the beat go on for Boeser and Pettersson.

Chalk up a victory where the key pieces of our future made the difference on the score sheet. Feels good, man.

One of those dudes is coming to town on Tuesday

Feh, and to think that mustachio prick Willie D thought BH53 wasn't good enough to be a checking center.

Still very glad we got rid of that turd of a coach.

Whats crazy is theres a 2016 redraft thread going right now and Juolevi just got voted at 15th. I dont think many of us would agree he should go that high. I know theres a few guys who are still on the list Id take over him but i guess for other fans is still living on the potential he once had

 

[Melvin]

Yeah I think at this point even the optimistic projections of Horvat at draft underrated him. What he's been doing the last couple months has been insane.

Thank you Mike Gillis.

 

[Songtao 88]

Canucks back to .500

Yes, it's great, although keep in mind that .500 is a moot concept with the league's weird point system. 21 teams are above .500, one team is at .500, and only 9 teams are below .500.

He was a super nice guy, maybe just an awful coach. Too bad, he could be like a good cheerleader but not a coach IMO

but but but Gillis left an astronomical mess for the leader!

I remember all the flack Columbus took for drafting Dubois before him. That guy is going to be a really good player.

True, but he left us that final gift that is Horvat

Too bad Schneider went into the abyss.

We're obviously a bad team still but thanks to Horvat, Boeser and Pettersson there is a lot to be optimistic about. All we need is a GM who can build around these first round studs and we'll be up at the top of the league again.

 

[valkynax]

hehe he was. But I'd take competence over niceness 10/10. His niceness didn't at all cover how pathetic of a coach he was.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Yes, it's great, although keep in mind that .500 is a moot concept with the league's weird point system. 21 teams are above .500, one team is at .500, and only 9 teams are below .500.

Agreed,but Canucks looked dead and buried a couple of weeks ago.and have clawed their way back...so..small victory.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Too bad Schneider went into the abyss.

I feel legitimately bad for Schneider. A genuinely good guy - sad how quickly and utterly his game has evaporated.

Thrilled to have Horvat - the future captain of the team.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Yes, it's great, although keep in mind that .500 is a moot concept with the league's weird point system. 21 teams are above .500, one team is at .500, and only 9 teams are below .500.

Perfect for today’s millennials. Everyone is a winner! Can’t hurt anyone’s feelings by saying they are underachieving.

Show some class man.
