Except today Dave Pratt actually said Quinn Who would or could win two Norris Trophies and help the Canucks win three, count them, three Stanley Cups. This from an eighth round pick. Imagine they had won the draft lottery and picked Dahlin ? Pratt might have actually talked about Dahlin this season. Anyways they have high hopes for young Quinn and no doubt he'll be good but the over the top hyperbole out of Pratt is over the top. Pratt makes talk radio in Van City CRAZY and he gets the locals all riled up. The worst part is that people actually believe him. I know what you're saying Dudacek , the Canucks are like an alternate universe to the Sabres. I hear it every day.

When I hear Coach Housley say he was satisfied with the response from the players in the Dallas game coming off the Colorado game I gagged a little. When I hear Tage parrot basically the same response by saying we got some chances so we're doing all the right things I wanted to start cutting myself. This organization said they wanted to change the culture but they basically rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic. Pulease get rid of anyone satisfied with following up getting shut out by getting shut out again. Face it we are a league laughing stock. There's no other way to describe what the Pegulas have done to this team. Find some people that know what it takes to win and get them here. Come on already ! Now where did I put those damn bandaids ?

Right now Benning is out GMing Botterail . Without the benefit of a first overall he has quietly built a team that should compete very nicely for years to come. They prolly have more young stars than us without tanking.

I had a faint hope that Dahlin might vie for rookie of the year. Real friggin faint but a hope none the less. Vancouvers youngun has hit a wall so there was a chance if Dahlin started producing. This team is historically bad so that goes out the window.

Phil pads the stats of the stars

Team Dyson ?

No one on this team has a killer instinct. Maybe Skinner who's ultra skilled but small. Tonight its more of the same. The coaching staff doesn't seem to have an answer. We'll most likely get shut out again. Its pretty much unwatchable. They've improved on last year but that was a given wasn't it. Meh.

A good clean hit should be celebrated. Unfortunately I think the league would rather that go away too.

Especially butts

I've heard the Black Keys are back after a 5 year sabbatical. New song sounds alright. Patiently awaiting an album.

You nailed it. They can't play either way. This team is fundamentally flawed. As is their coaching staff in my humble opinion. What exactly is this teams identity ? Phil throws the boys out there and stands back and watches like the rest of us. Never raises his voice. Occasionally seems to get a bit of a red neck. Maybe thats anger or consternation or maybe its constipation ? But if he's coaching this team it seems he's doing the majority of it behind closed doors. In all fairness to him there are coaches in the league that show little to no emotion and are successful but this team obviously isn't. I hope JB stays the course because doing otherwise seems to indicate we'll be starting over again. And if you're not going to be a team that stands up for each other and turns the other cheek then you'd better get more talent on this damn team and do it fast. I have a hard time listening to guys say it has to be one or the other when we are neither. I'd rather have a skilled team that stands together than what we have now.

EPIC COLLAPSE. thats all I got

That a boy Skinny

Tripping ? Thats a travesty.

Why is that a penalty on Risto? Bull !

Shoot the puck

Rays happy, they're slowing things down.

Yup I agree.

The character of this team ? I wasn't happy when after the Florida collapse our captain says to the media, " We're fragile ." That is a problem. Grow some balls boys.

Yeah I get what you're saying but he's literally the only guy ( besides Bogo I suppose ) that will punish guys in front of the net with dirty stick work etc. This team is so soft. Some nights I worry someone will hurt their feelings.

I like Ristos grit. Excuse me for believing skill and grit can co-exist on the same team. This team needs more of both.

There's still time !

My story is oddly similar.

He had control. No one else controlled that puck. I hate that frikken rule. Housley you're too soft for your own good. Fly off the handle sometime. Its magic. You'll like it.

Nice pass Bogo
