[Tiranis]

Rather have neither and find a young rick rypien type player in the offseason

I have no words even.

Rick wasn't a good player though, pound for pound great fighter but the NHL is not handicapped.

Unless you want to tank, in which case get more Ryppers.

WTF Vey ... get the puck all the way into the Jets end with the extra man and then put it right onto a Jet stick under zero pressure. sigh.

 

[Nucker101]

Can someone other than Copp get these chances?

 

[James Underbuss*]

There shalt be no scoring.

 

[PM]

Uhh no, not Trouba. When was the last time you watched the Jets?

A handful of times. Their team is horrible this year and he's still maintained decent advanced and regular stats. With the garbagemen we have on defense this year I find it funny that you think Trouba is not a top-4.

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Omg we look worse than an AHL team.

Yup, Gaunce is better than Rypien was.

 

[Josepho]

jesus christ what a terrible game.

 

[The Drop]

My boy? Lolol

Etem is the least of our problems. The guy at least works his ass off

No. He's a car spinning in mud.

 

[Tiranis]

Can someone other than Copp get these chances?

I don't think Copp understands that the puck is the thing that goes in the net, not himself.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Virtanen getting greasy.

This was not easy to find:

1/13/84

The Capitals unleashed an offensive assault that "King" Richard Brodeur could not handle. A few Caps with 3 point nights included Rod Langway (3 assists), Darren Veitch (1 goal, 2 assists) and Gaetan Duchesne (2 goals, 1 assist). The Canucks still had a chance after 2 as they trailed 5-3, but again, Tony Tanti was the only Canuck to show up as his 2 goals were not enough. He is now 2nd in the NHL with 35 goals (Gretzky).

Goals

1. Tanti, Van (34) - Smyl (21), Sundstrom (20)
2. Erickson, Was (5) \u2013 Veitch (8), Langway (27)
3. Gustafsson, Was (14) \u2013 Gartner (17), Langway (28) Power Play
4. Tanti, Van (35) \u2013 Smyl (22), Sundstrom (21)
5. Gartner, Was (22) \u2013 Murphy (17), Christian (29)
6. Carpenter, Was (12) \u2013 Haworth (11), Laughlin (13)
7. Veitch, Was (5) \u2013 Duchesne (12), Gould (8)
8. Gradin, Van (13) \u2013 Unassisted Power Play
9. Christian, Was (16) \u2013 Gustafsson (19)
10. Lanz, Van (7) \u2013 Gradin (27), Halward (16)
11. Carpenter, Was (13) \u2013 Langway (29), Haworth (12)
12. Duchesne, Was (10) \u2013 Unassisted Power Play
13. Duchesne, Was (11) \u2013 Stevens (27), Veitch (8)

"Etem works his ass off." Something that no one who watches the Canucks has ever said.

 

[clunk]

Play the kids and they actually have sustained pressure... Vets have clearly packed it in.

 

[Canucks LB]

Yup, Gaunce is better than Rypien was.

Rypper had 1 off year. He was a solid 4th liner.

 

[Diamonddog01]

This organization sure developed Gaunce poorly by playing him on the wing.

 

[Tiranis]

Rypper had 1 off year. He was a solid 4th liner.

No. Rypien was a great fighter. He was a hard working guy. He was not a good NHL player.

 

[me2]

I remember when our prospects used to be able to rip the puck and score goals.

 

[PM]

Totally agree. A couple of fast wingers with at least a modicum of skill and I think he'd really shine.

Man, the Jet's are just killing it but are playing against a wall and are also incredibly unlucky.

Assuming we are stuck with Dorsett (no one is taking that contract) I'd like to see a line of Kenins - Gaunce - Dorsett/Grenier. I'm not ready to give up on Kenins yet after one bad season where he started off injured.

 

[NucksRuleYep]

208 minutes without a goal boys. The all time franchise record is 223m 10s.

Were going to make history tonight.

 

[Canucks LB]

A jets goal in the 3rd would be a good bet

 

[James Underbuss*]

Hey Dank, do you have an example with which to lead by or...???

 

[quat]

Still find it hilarious we dint get anything for Hamhius or Vrbata lmao. This franchise is such a joke.

hey hey hey ... didn't we hear from Benning that they tried really hard? I mean, that should be enough.

 

[Ozone]

Marky is playing too well. Someone should have a word with him.
