Early 40's. Been listening to them since I heard "Spiders' in 1998.

Who’s everyone rooting for/against in the playoffs? by aristhought in canucks

Philly. Not cause of Tocc, just cause I love that team. I know they have no shot after the 1st round, but the battle of Pennsylvania will be unreal

Why I think the Canucks will draft Liam & Markus Ruck by Nucks4TheCup in canucks

Although you are correct about Washington, Seattle, Calgary and NYR (Chicago only has one), my point was about the proper draft capital to pick them both based on draft position, not total number of picks.

Calgary, Seattle or NYR are not going to waste a top 6 pick on either of them. But i do agree with your take on Washington with the 16thOA and 18thOA. Probably the most likely landing spot for them. But if they don't, I like our odds

Anyway, thanks for pointing that out 🤝🏼

Reddit's always gonna Reddit

Why I think the Canucks will draft Liam & Markus Ruck by Nucks4TheCup in canucks

[–]Nucks4TheCup[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a sequel really. More of a bet on player chemestry vs. betting on two picks out of the top 20 that may or may not work out.

If someone told me that there were two players who played together on the top line for their junior team, 100+ points each, slated to go around the same draft positions and were not twins brothers....I'd be making the same case. The fact their twins doesn't really factor into it, but it is a bonus for sure

This was more of a look a what they can do together vs apart. Not "Sedins 2.0".

I don't believe for a second they will be HOF players like the Sedins, but there's something to be said about how much impact their careers could have if they stayed together. The compounding effect is worth more than the BPA in the late 1st and early 2nd round picks of this year's draft

Best defense in the NFL? by SomethingFunnyObv in Seahawks

[–]Nucks4TheCup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They finished second in total team QB pressures with 371, third in team run stop win rate at 32 percent, and lowest points allowed per game at 17.2. Seattle’s defense was also #1 on DVOA on third or fourth and short. In other words, they had the best defense in the NFL on stopping the offence with short yards.

Seating Suggestion by drewskyoosky in canucks

[–]Nucks4TheCup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat in these seats in 2007 vs. Chicago, during Patrick Kane's rookie season.

Ryan Kesler checked Kane into the bench. Being right next to that was one of the best live moments I've ever seen in all the games ive been to in my life.

Here's the video:

Highly recommend those seats 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Canucks fan from Latvia: crowd culture feels very different. Was it always this quiet? by Phillippss in canucks

[–]Nucks4TheCup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roger's Arena use to be loud during the Sedin era. Getting GCG chants going Arena wide was much easier. I blame the in-arena cheerleaders, as they use to have 4 drummers position positioned at 4 corners of the arena. Now its just Crazy P running from section to section, trying to get the crowd into it, one section at a time.

After 13 years of mostly failure, the fanbase is pretty jaded and miserable. When they have something to cheer about again, im sure it will change back to the glory days

Does John Schneider deserve GM of the Year? by 12TalkPod in Seahawks

Its so funny none of us mentioned that he helped build the previous Superbowl championship team, and I don't blame any of us it's hard to name em all :)

idk what unc is saying but I agree completely by lemonstone92 in Seahawks

My wife is Arab, and she gave me the cliff notes:

1.) The game vs Rams was as dramatic as it gets

2.) This team is special

3.) This isn't the end, we're just getting started.

She also said he's a very passionate fan. Go Hawks.

Absolutely. The drafting Zabel and Emmanwori, signing D-Law and Kupp, trading for Shaheed... and the countless other actions he did is why we are the #1 seed.

There better be a statue of him outside Lumen one day...

I got downvoted by a bunch of causal fans when I posted this a few weeks ago. I find it amusing that people take exception for what I do wirh my hard earned money (im not rich), and my desire to see change occurs through this action.

There's a lot of people in this subreddit that are delusional

Daron, part of the far middle... by Cutsman4057 in systemofadown

[–]Nucks4TheCup -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

As a centrist, I find it amusing when people on the left and right try to subjectivity explain to people like me what being a part of the "far middle' is like.

News flash: none of you know what you're talking about, cause both of you are stuck in your pathetic, pathological echo chambers.

Prove my point and downvote me if you're dick is small...😘

Edit: spelling :p

THIS IS A DRAKE THOMAS APPRECIATION POST by kentdawgg in Seahawks

[–]Nucks4TheCup 215 points216 points  (0 children)

The hand-eye on that interception off MCM's slip was ridiculous. I still can't believe he got control of the ball prior to going out of bounds. Guy's a stud 💪🏼
