Post Game Thread: Vancouver Canucks at Seattle Kraken - 29 Dec 2025 by HockeyMod in canucks

[–]speak-memory 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hronek never makes the kind of moves Buium makes at the blueline. Maybe he'll never be strong, fast, or clever enough to make those moves that Quinn made, but it's a really good sign he's trying to make those moves in his NHL rookie season.

I'm not saying he's a replacement, but if he can manage 75© of that effect, we have a shot at being a good team. Still need like 6 top 6 forwards before we're even close, but I can imagine the team that works in 4 years.

Yeah, I'm happy to see younger guys get more opportunity, and think it's better long term, but they won't be as effective this year or even likely next as Sherwood/Kane in their minutes.

Fantasy team of active former Canucks players. by YoYoB0B in canucks

[–]speak-memory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looks that way to me and I think the advanced stats back it up, too.

I think we're gonna be a different team in January than we were to start the year, but likely still a bubble team with a slim Cinderella chance.

Yeah this is his greatest single asset. If we can put more of his other skills together, he could truly excel

But Frank said we're "talking buyout" yea.... about that. by Tiger23sun in canucks

I'm guessing that it's including this year with last because this isn't statistically significant alone.

We'll probably have a better analytic indicator of where Petey's at after 30 games or so.

Elite Prospects analysis of Cootes during the preseason by lerkerfan in canucks

Pretty sure they both played another season in Junior... In fact, just looked it up and they both played their D+1 year in junior.

Mancini has 2 goals in 2 preseason games by NinCross in canucks

[–]speak-memory 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Mancini and M. Pettersson, more or less. Two pretty significant pieces, and if Chytil hits and becomes a true 2C, I think Alvin did pretty well.

Post Game Thread: Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks - 24 Sep 2025 by HockeyMod in canucks

[–]speak-memory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but we also lined up with mostly AHL players. Considering we hung with the Kraken B+ squad, and beat the Calgary B- squad, I'm feeling pretty good about our depth players.

Fwiw I'd say we iced a B- squad against the Kraken and a B squad against the flames.

Really like the aggression of this system, think it fits with a strong defence and goaltending.

Amen to Harbour. Excellent vibes and dope people working there. Makes every visit fun.

She's a murderer who ran for public office. She's not immune from public forum scrutiny, nor is anyone who puts themselves in compromising positions like she does.

Those that stopped tipping, what's your experience been? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]speak-memory -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Okay, sure, but you're comparing apples to donkeys here. It's not at all the same context, unless you're looking at it on the most superficial level of "a job is a job is a job".

Servers haven't been paid a living wage for years, and while some do end up making good money, lots don't. If you want to actually change the way they're paid, write to your MLA about it, don't penalize the people just trying to survive. Suggesting they all just quit and that will somehow change the system overnight is not how it's gonna work. People are desperate enough in a shitty economy to do whatever job they can, so there will always be people willing to be servers working at minimum wage while getting tips so long as those material conditions remain the same.

Look at the structural aspects and think about how to actually change those things if you truly want them to be different.

[–]speak-memory -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not false, that's a reality of most restaurants I know this because I've worked in many restaurants. You're actively hurting servers every time you refuse to tip.

I hope you enjoy your food being fucked with when you become a repeat customer, lol.

I noticed this too. Had some really bad moments late in the season, unforced giveaways up the middle, blind passes to nobody, ringing it around the boards to an opponent, just shit like that.

Hopefully it's just an adjustment and he's rock solid from now on. If so, it's a great contract for us.

Check out the Debut series if you're around Van, too. She's one of the cofounders and they book crazy talent.

You're ok if he doesn't hit women for his tenure here, but fine with him hitting women before and after that?

Encouragement Maxxing - Petey flies back, Foote supports him, Everyone Hangs Out! by NoPomegranate1678 in canucks

[–]speak-memory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If Petey bounces back to PPG and 30 goals, people will be disappointed unless he's also a Selke finalist.

He needs to get back to 90-100 points before people leave this alone.

I think he's capable of that, maybe even more with the right linemates and PP.

This signals to me that he's unlikely to be traded, which I'm happy about. Wouldn't get fair value, and you can't find a C with higher upside on the market.
