GDT: Canucks Training Camp Thread | Sept. 18th

[Coffees]

Remember that offseason where we saw the "#FireBenning" banner fly across the region?

we were under attack, the color of hockey was faded…

 

[arttk]

Pettersson is going to score every single one of the team's goals this season

The more Patterson we have the more likely this will be true

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

This board needs to add a sad react emoji. It's so overdue.

Not like it isn't very possible or anything.

There was one when the board first migrated to the new UI. They took it away because people were using it to troll lol

 

[David71]

i hope boeser is healthy and okay to play. i also think he might be a trading chip ufa end of summer 2025 correct? could get dealt for a defenseman to teams who need a sniper.

henien and debrusk with the goals.

The middle finger emoji has so much potential

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

It was scary. She went from taking the dog for a 5 mile walk to barely being able to talk as I rushed her to the hospital 2 hours later.

That’s terrifying. Glad she’s doing okay.

I believe this is the exact reason it was removed.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Dark horse contender for the first goal of the season…
Wolanin

 

[Three On Zero]

Surprised we haven’t seen any PTOs

 

[VanJack]

Surprised we haven’t seen any PTOs

I believe Sammy Blais is on a PTO, even though he's signed to a provisional AHL contract with Abbotsford.

 

[Vector]

Blais.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Blais.

I’m more surprised Justin Schultz hasn’t turned up anywhere.

That itself is sad

I give sad emoji to that reason

 

[I am toxic]

I believe this is the exact reason it was removed.

My bad.

What can I say, I'm like the panda that walked into a restaurant, orders a sandwich, then pulls a gun and fires it into the air before departing.

It's just our nature.

And yeah commas are important.

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

I'm a big comma before and guy. I don't care if it's bad form, it's how I want my thought presented.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Looks like if we do bring a goalie in, it won’t be Raanta.

 

[sting101]

I can see why Lankinen wouldn't want to sign here. He probably gets a better opportunity and money somewhere else.

Martin Jones on the other hand seems tailer made for what's going on. Put on your hometown jersey for a couple months or less and see what happens. Better than retirement me thinks

There's our PTO goalie to play some preseason games.

Agreed on Jones. Playing in front of a good team can hopefully build up his value for future teams to take a look at him.

He's from Lantzville near Nanaimo. Every time I drive past Lantzville I feel like i'm in the 1990s. There's a Chapters in their large strip mall off the highway.

 

[Breakers]

More often than not.
Older PTO’s bust their ass for that short stint and disappear immediately if they get a full contract at the veteran minimum.

How dare you talk about Peter Schaefer this way! I saw him score a goal*!

*it was so bad

 

[WTG]

With the sad news about Joshua's cancer, it will be a big chance for some of the young players to come in and fill his role while he's still recovering. I wonder who will step up.

For sure. Who best fills that void? Does Lekk get a shot? Does it give Blais a chance a stake a claim? Maybe Bains gets another go? Or is Aman just going to slide in and someone else slots in at 13th fwd?
