Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

The old line of Markus Naslund and the Sedins were nicknamed the IKEA line. The current line of Elias Pettersson, Elias Lindholm, and Nils Höglander are very hot now. Will they be the next IKEA line? Or how about naming it the Tre Kronor line after the national emblem of Sweden? https://upload.wikim...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Too bad that the Kansas City Chiefs celebration parade was marred by a mass shooting killng 1 and injuring at least 21 others. Gunmen were 2 juveniles. -------------------- Seahawks paid Geno Smith $12.7 million to retain him for the 2024 season. But there's still a small chance that he may be trade...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Rather defensive Super Bowl LVIII with the 49ers controlling most of the game in the first half and limiting Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to just 3 points but if it wasn't for their own mistakes, the could have gotten more than just 10-3 lead at halftime. Serious mistakes on both sides but more co...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

After two game losing streak, good that the ;canucks: ended the losing streak with a win in Washington with 5 seconds left in OT. ---------------------- Neither the San Jose Sharks nor the Golden State Warriors played today, so no foreshadowing of the fate of the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bow...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

Good to see that the ;canucks: have picked up where they left off with a 3-2 win in Carolina to extend their points streak to 12 games. And just as importantly, Elias Lindholm has immediately showed his presence to the team after the trade by scoring the first two goals.

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

What I'd say has been worse as opposed to better in the NFL in recent years is the Pro Bowl. Starting 2023, it is now a non-contact flag football game.

I do miss the old AFC vs. NFC games in which the players actually took it seriously.

Carl Weathers (Jan. 14, 1948 – Feb. 1, 2024)

While forever remembered as an actor playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky film series, we shouldn't forget that he was also a BC Lion for three seasons from 1971-73.

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

Congratulations to Elias Pettersson for being selected one of the stars for January 2024! :rockin:

Canucks trade Andrei Kuzmenko to the Calgary Flames for Elias Lindholm. Let's hope this trade will be the missing link to the purrfect season. :cr:

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Looks as if Mike Macdonald will be the Seahawks' next head coach. He'll be the youngest head coach in the NFL at 36, and is something of a defensive wunderkind. I think this will make many 'Hawks' fans happy. Mike Macdonald is exactly half the age of the coach he replaced the 72-year old Pete Carro...

Yet another example in which the results have been changed long after the event, Russia's Kamila Valieva was disqualified from the 2022 Olympics.

To honour the Lunar New Year, a new design for the Canucks logo referencing the Year of the Dragon.
Although the league does not allow such theme-based uniforms anymore.

AFC Championship: Kansas City Chiefs defence played superb in limiting the Baltimore Ravens' offence to just 7 points for most of the game and forced a pair crucial turnovers just when Baltimore was threatening to score. And Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offence were much more successful in getting...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

I don't know how they will fare in the playoffs as that kind of game is of a different sort but they have been enjoyable to watch and it has been fun watching all the experts in the league slowly become believers in a team that much wasn't expected of at the beginning of the year. And let's just ho...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

The Canucks are heading into the all-star break with a 11-game points streak with a record 9-0-2 since their last regulation loss. Great comeback from 3 goal deficit to win in OT led by Brock Boeser hat trick. Good luck to Boeser, Demko, Hughes, Miller, and Pettersson along with coach Rick Tocchet i...
