Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

Canucks are on a 8-game points streak at 6-0-2 and despite the recent OT loss to Dallas, they are now at the top of the league with 47 points which is tied with Las Vegas but ahead in the standings with one more win and also lead in GF at 135 and DIFF at +43. :rockin: With the huge improvement from ...

Re: Matt Dunigan

Another detailed news article on why Matt Dunigan was traded from BC to Toronto on March 21, 1990. Dunigan was supposed to received bonus money but it was a verbal agreement which was not in writing, and when Joe Kapp arrived as GM he didn't honour the oral contract that Dunigan agreed with former ...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

When it comes to trades especially players on the same position, after a period of time one can get a general idea of which fans would lament more on the loss of the traded player. As a great example, while not a trade per se in 1992 Lions fans miss Doug Flutie a heck of a lot more than Stampeders f...

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup Thread

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami FC team will be playing in Vancouver against the Whitecaps FC on Saturday, May 25, 2024. I'd say it will defintely be a sellout and I wonder if they will open the upper bowl as if though it were the Grey Cup. Let's just hope Lionel Messi won't get injured prior to th...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Finally, the Seahawks break their four game losing streak by upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles. Certainly not an easy win with the careless defence allowing the Eagles to take 10-0 and 17-10 leads. But the defence rose to occasion in the fourth quarter by a pick and then by forcing the Eagles to pun...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Seahawks suffer their fourth straight loss just when a month ago they were in first in the NFC West. Might as well say goodbye to the season by now. :roll: Valient effort by Drew Lock in his very first start after the Russell Wilson trade by fighting back for a 10-7 lead after the Seattle secondary ...

Re: 2023 Vanier Cup

In this message board, we talk about the Seattle Seahawks sometimes so as such, how about mentioned their local boys in Seattle in that the Washington Huskies football are now 11-0 and the final regular season game will be the Apple Cup against the lowly Washington State Cougars and it's likely the...

Re: 2023 Vanier Cup

UW barely won the Apple Cup over WSU 24-21 in a last minute field goal and a gutsy fourth down play in the final Huskies drive. UW now have an undefeated 12-0 season. ----------------------- That said, do you miss the Shrum Bowl after it was revived in 2022 when it was cancelled from 2011-2021, only...

Re: 2023 Vanier Cup

Too bad that the UBC Thunderbirds came just short of their Vanier Cup quest with their 16-9 loss to the University of Montreal Carabins. Better luck next year for UBC. I guess congrats to the city of Montreal for winning two local football championships - first on the professional level and then on ...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

After a two game losing streak, good to see the Canucks end the streak with a win over San Jose. And I believe this is the first time that three Canucks are leading in the individual scoring race with Pettersson, Hughes, and Miller all at 28 points. While it's always good to score goals, I wonder if...

Re: Congrats Alouettes!!!!

Excellent comeback for the Alouettes after deficits of 17-7 at halftime and 24-21 late in the game with a last minute TD which included a third-and-five with the championship on the line and Fajardo came through with a huge 31-yard completion. The Alouettes managed to do what the Lions couldn't do i...
