  11. Long time listener. I don't have any issues with Ryan on Friday… It's a change and I'm happy to see him move up the ranks. But for producing… he would never fade that intro music out. Instead he abruptly ends it once someone starts talking. It's a weird transition. After listening over the years, i know everyone fades their intro music out slowly and gradually. To me, this is a missed detail that's been going on a couple years for him. Not sure who's doing the music here, but they fade it CORRECT. And while i'm at it… when Donnie is doing his classic highlight call, throw on some action music with the volume at 10 percent like his old broadcasts. These are small background details, but they are nice details worth keeping. -Love Fan

  13. Re dentist : between 32 and 42, for 10 years, i did not go to a dentist. I'll be 65 in February, and I've lost 2 teeth, both in the back so smile not affected. Dentistry, is often fear based. They're like used car salespeople, always trying to sell you stuff that's not essential.

  14. Just sell the damn team. Media needs to start encouraging this. 15 years of "retooling" lead to us trading away our best defencemen we've ever had. It's a complete joke how we can't even keep our players healthy with decent medical staff.

  16. root canals are nothing now days compared with what they were back in the 60s. Now that was painful. That said is the Canucks better with Petey back on the ice? Because I believe we are 80% worse.

  18. Donny and Dhali do see what Canucks need. Sherwood and Kunts to Sharks for Filip Bystedt Igor Chernyshov and a 4. Sharks are on up swing. Sherwood would love that trade. That is what I see.

  23. What I'm hoping for, as so far Foote has done a great job, of having the guys play hard and lose. They're not losing due to lack of effort. They're not good enough. And that's the point. Get as high a draft pick as you can for a few years while maintaining structure and work ethic. I can't believe fans are blaming Adam now. Have they looked at the roster? I'm watching just to see the young guys coming up and how they develop. If anything, I like the job Foote has done. Look at how well some of the kids are doing. Look at how well Linus Karlsson is doing. The guy earned a multi-year deal. He's got future bona fide 3rd line centre written all over him. And anyone who says this is the "worst time in Canucks history," you must be Gen Z or Alpha. I remember the late 90s. As long as the team isn't at risk of being moved, it's miles better than that time. Seattle of all places was one of the potential destinations because the owner at the time was from there. They're certainly drafting better than the late 90s. Cootes already looks like a sure-fire 3rd line centre at the NHL level at minimum. At least 3 D prospects look like potential top 4 D men, if not top pairing. Stay the course.
