Going to watch the cover-up league, or CFL?

Both of them, that game yesterday was painful, blew another 2 goal lead.

I don't expect them to do better in BOS.

Hopefully they had a nice team dinner.

I am getting a good laugh from this team.
Reminds me of when I played Midget rep hockey and we played the Senior Men's team.
Needless to say, we got manhandled and exposed, regularly, just like the Canucks.

Team dinners are always fun, especially the fights amongst teammates, that occur, after a couple beers.

No

Didn’t you call Tanev a coke head? I think Jonny Hockey was another one you called out.

Well, another disappointing game.

Is there a day where you are not disappointed?

Bruce; "we stopped playing, it happens every game"

I'm glad he identified what the problem is

14-0 TBAY already. Seahawks don't look prepared and are having team yelling at the sidelines lol

Fair enough, just sounds like you’re making excuses for Jim B. Some fans have suggested he had been doing it all wrong the entire time, not just the last couple years. I believe year two, Sutter trade and signing and Sbisa extension was the tipping point for one young lad in particular.

I do agree that the new group had an opportunity for franchise changing moves and just did more of the same, so far at least.

Jim Benning put a lot of talented individuals on the team and on other teams. The rest of GMing is where he was less than 50%

Western final today BC-WPG should be ok. Will be the only CFL game I 'check in' on this year most likely. CFL has become pretty much unwatchable. plus F1 today at Sao Paulo

Johnny and Monny were seen multiples times out in Calgary Public around the blow. Pretty common knowledge here wouldn't be shocked if Tanev is ingesting. Helps with injuries too.

...and the fanboys who keep saying be patient, just a few tweaks.
Can't they see that Gary and his boys will never let the Canucks win?

They either stop playing, after a good period, or they start playing after a couple bad periods.
Been going on for years.
They have to stop this nonsense of changing 4th liners and 7,8 and 9 defensemen.

BLOW IT ALL UP

Some of the CFL teams are unwatchable, kinda like the Canucks, but I still torture myself.

We were at the game in WPG in August vs the Stamps and I will admit it was a nice atmosphere and stadium. But the product itself on the field is getting worse by the year and very difficult to watch. Hopefully the CFL has some plans to up the talent levels and they should really go to 4 down football. Possession time sucks with the constant 2 and outs.

Is Mikeyev injured? I've seen flashes of speed and brilliance but for the most part, his effort is soft. I like the way Engvall played last night. I thought his style of play and speed is what Mikeyev was supposed to provide the nucks.

Just eliminate the punting, maybe if over the 40 yard line, or something like that.

Like many, you got fooled. Lol.

I guess it comes down to what a fan will pay for when it comes to blowing it all up.

Is it years of frustration with the possibility of luck? Or, years of futility with the possibility of hope?

Pulling the pin or not comes at a price.

Kinda like what the fans are getting now.
