I changed the tag to say NHL Hockey Insider (it was Hockey Goddess), and made your profile Canuck blue.
How about some suggestions for the Canuck's captain choice this year.
I'm sure if Sundin comes to Vancouver, he would be obvious choice, but assuming
that he isn't coming, give me your ideas.
Its Too Early To Be Thinking About Hockey.....
Willie Mitchell, Ryan Kesler, Matias Ohlund, have been suggested on other boards,
and I won't give my suggestion right now, I want to know what you think.
If the Canucks still use the player-vote system to pick a captain it's hard to say. I like Kesler for the hustle. If the captain is doing it then the younger guys might be motivated by his example.
Celery cap? (do I know you?)
Montreal -----104
Ottawa-------- 94
Boston--------- 94
Buffalo--------- 90
Toronto-------- 83
Last seasons standings for the northeast division. How do you think that will change
this season, some say toronto will put it all in the toilet this year to get 'Tavaras' (sp?)
could happen I guess, but they still would have to be part of the lottery.
Its Too Early To Be Thinking About Hockey.....
Maybe we can have a hockey pool. If the season starts around the beginning of October perhaps, if we did have one, we could start putting it together mid-late September.
Oh, Toronto will be in the toilet even if they wanted to win. I am a Leaf fan, but I am not looking forward to the disaster known as the 2008-2009 NHL season.
Forget about Sundin. Sundin wouldn't come near Vancouver if he was a ten foot Pole, which is probably what the Canucks need.
I don't know how far Vancouver can go this season but the guy who is going to lead them is likely to be Pavol Demitra. He is probably as talented as Naslund but a bit meaner. In any case Demitra will likely be the Canuck's leading scorer this season. Maybe he should be captain....
Yeah, I agree with you, Dimitra is a very talented player, but he is getting lots of criticism from some of the canuck 'empty headed' fans, cause he didn't have a good year last
year, he did have an injury, but he also was hemmed in by Lamaire's coaching style, which
is good, but not for a player like him, he is a great play maker, and needs to have a free reign to do that. He plays both sides ,and center if needed, but prefers wing, and I
look for Steve Bernier, Mason Raymond, Ryan Kesler, Kyle welwood to step up and
show a knack for scoring as well, and I don't think any of us can know at this point
how they will do. I see lots of potential, but they do have to 'jell' as a team, get lots
of chemistry, and do it.
Demitra is at least as talented as Sundin and he didn't cost ten million a year. Sundin spent a good number of years in Toronto and he didn't win any Stanley cups for them.The Rangers must be getting close to their salary cap after signing Naslund for big money. Would they get Sundin for less than what Vancouver offered. Gomez could help Vancouver if we can afford him and if he will come.
About Lemaire's coaching. Over the years he has turned out some of the most boring teams going. Very tight checking and Lemaire probably invented the neutral zone trap. I prefer hockey to be a little more open with more scoring chances.
Wonderful! Great idea, Kreskin and talloola! I hope the enthusiasm will last a little longer than it did for the CC Health and Fitness Club!

Good reason to 'move' to B.C.
That's right, I guess it's like most fitness ideas, starts off great, then tails off, as
enthusiasm wains, I'm going to get back there and enter something, but I haven't done
much, except golf lately, oh well, I'll enter that.

Dancing loon, would you like to be the official leader of the heath and fitness forum. I have to admit, I have web commitments up to the yin yang so it's pretty hard to keep up with everything.
Thanks for the offer, Kreskin, but I have to decline. There is no interest in that field right now... it is dead! Also, a younger person would be much more suited for such a post in the future perhaps.
You did such a good job setting it up! As I mentioned to talloola, it has inspired me to continue the walking on my own. As a matter of fact, my friend and I are about to head out to the racetrack!
Thanks for your efforts. I gladly join again should there be a revival!
