Do we really want a 35 year old defenseman? i say we look younger than Oduya.

Well Cody sure did make my comments on how he was a better player than Kassian, look foolish now. While Kassian isn't doing all that much better, he has been a better player at times for the Canucks. I really thought Hodgson was going to be a solid 2nd line centre but his skating and lack of defensive awareness were too much to overcome seeing he wasn't making it up at the other end of the ice and scoresheet. He's not a good enough checker to be on a fourth line and with our young centres coming up, that's the best he could be on the team, so it's good to cut the ties and save a few bucks down the road. He'll get picked up but it won't be for a lot of cash. He's definitely going to have to prove himself or he'll be out of this league in no time. I see a good team with talent taking a cheap flyer on him, giving him 2nd or 3rd line minutes. See ya Coho, love the team, not the player.

Hopefully our team learns to play together, play hard for each other, and show the rest of the league that in a few years, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Time to stop being the laughing stock and start making strides to respectability and then domination. One thing I really want is for them to start making their building a nasty place to play in for opposing teams. To build a good foundation and a team that says "screw you everyone else" we are a tight group and will back each other up.

Come on baby, shake your body, do the Conga....... oh, we drafted Giorgo Estephan, not Gloria Estefan. My bad.

Would rather seen the pick go to Van for Lack. I see Legwand hanging 'me up

It's before 9 am in Kelowna BC and it's 20 celsius. Gonna have a high of 28 today. Temps will be pushing 31 tomorrow and hitting 37 by the weekend. For you "few" that are still using imperial temps, today will be 88F and 99F on the weekend.

.....Jack Eichel, Come on Down!

Not sure if it's been said here, but I will. Seriously, the American women complaining about having to play on this artificial turf is ridiculous. ALL the women are playing on it, so it's the same for all of them! Yeah, it may suck, but that's the way it is. To hear Abby W saying the US would have more goals if on grass is hilarious and reeks of excuses. Seriously? Not scoring a header because you are on fake grass? Really? The Canadian women are playing on it too and aren't complaining. In fact I saw a clip the other day where 3 American women whined and moaned in different ways. The Canadian girls, it is what it is. Couldn't care less. I just play. Seriously, quit complaining and making excuses. I haven't heard any other team complaining about the turf. Love watching the ladies play hard, not dive and get up after being fouled (the men could learn from that) but can't stand hearing the US ladies whine about the field. Shut up and play. One other thing. BC Place has the latest technology in artificial grass and it's apparently amazing stuff. And did anyone notice, Abby W scored on it. Amazing!

I wonder how many goalies would realize a net had been widened by an inch or two, if the league just did it when they were all in bed sleeping? Seriously. Over the summer, the nets were widened by an inch on each side (2 inches for math challenged lol) and repaint the ice and then see how many knew?

All the things said by the original poster are true about Bettman, but one other thing stands out even more. The players HATE him and are just up there thinking, "shut up and give me the f'ing Cup already."

What the hell is Zadorov getting married so young for? Kids

I don't pay attention too much. Lucic had 4 dozen beers when he left. I should have asked him if he needed help carrying out to the car cuz it looked heavy. LOL. Tyler Myers bought a $500 bottle of Grey Goose once. The Schenn brothers were in last year and Braeden was drinking California Cabs, nice ones.

I meet lots of players at my job (Government Liquor Store) Met MR Smiley from the Sens a few weeks back, Curtis Lazar. It's amazing how many of the players come back to Kelowna. It is a beautiful city, that's part of it, but it's a lot of players. Shea Weber Tyler Myers Josh Gorges Jerome Iginla Milan Lucic Curtis Lazar Scott Hartnell to name a few. with the Okanagan Lake right here, tonnes of wineries, plus top notch training facilities, and warm Sunny summers, it's the place to be.

Met the hated Milan Lucic today at my work. He, like many hockey players, live in Kelowna. I spoke with him briefly and even shook his hand. I know, right. Anyway, we chatted for a bit and he says he is just hanging at his house and working out here, not heading downtown where the testosterone is prevalent at night. He was a nice guy. I told him to watch out for my Sabres, told him I've been a fan for over 30 years. We spoke about losing the lottery. He thinks Eichel will be better than McDavid in the first 5 years, and then Connor will surpass him. Said Eichel is the real deal.

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/acdc-video-footage-of-zurich-concert/ Do yourself a favour and go if they come to a stadium near you. Amazing for men their age. 2 hours of guaranteed rock and roll and lots of in your face fun.

AC/DC's Rock or Bust Album. In another time, this album would be right up there with Back In Black and Highway to Hell, but in today's digital world, it's overlooked. You like rock and roll, then spin this album. 35 minutes of straight ahead rock and roll. Love it! Awesome!

Wondering what others think of possibly moving a pick to Vancouver in exchange for Eddie Lack? The kid is an amazing person, first off, and secondly he's a good young goalie who should get better. With Miller signed 2 more years and Jakob Markstrom lighting it up in the AHL, the Canucks need to move either Lack or Markstrom. I think Lack would be a good pick up for the Sabres, along with another tender who can play 25-30 games. I'd guess the Canucks would want a 2nd round pick for Lack. Thoughts?

Sure wish Kane would become a Sabre

Posted by rickshaw on 09 March 2015 - 02:17 PM in The Aud Club Teddy is gone in 16 games. I'd be shocked if he weren't fired. No way you want Nolan "teaching" McDavid how to play hockey. Yikes. Next coach, has a Cup and knows all about bringing along a Superstar or two. His name, Dan Bylsma. Just sayin'.......... Called it!

AC/DC opened their Rock or Bust Tour this evening in Holland and it was spectacular by all reports. Can't wait until Sept 22/15 when they return to Vancouver!!!!!

But at least he'll be a "generational" coach

LOL, no jelly!

Peanut butter on toast!

Wild Flower by The Cult has been a regular sing along for me this past week.

AC/DC Sept 22/15 Vancouver 15th Time!!!!
