Anyone else hear Don Maclean Saying Burrows should be considered for team Canada in 2012 and Bieksa is a LOCK.

Ron maclean said this??

dude's a national treasure. and he aint an idiot.
but what the eff was he thinking?

i got no love whatsoever for alex, and he has virtually no chance to make it, but i'll agree that burrows should at least considered.

and bieksa a lock??? wtf?!
i cant see him the top 10-12, let alone a lock for 6

maybe he really was kissing van cities' ass

That end to end rush was sick. And I like his wrist shot. Hopefully he develops into a very solid top 6 forward in the NHL.

My immediate thought was he reminded me of Yashin early on, great control and snap shot from in close. Maybe I'm way off base.

I fukking hate Ron Maclean. His public hate on for the Canucks is sad. And that little speech he made before the Rangers playoff game last year disgusted me.

he is a straight up tool in my opinion.

I'll take that Cenile bastard Cherry anyday over Ron Maclean.

The hate is mostly for the many Burrows comments, and all the awkward attempts at making amends that followed—pretty sure I remember some comments about the Vancouver fanbase.

He also got drunk, removed his shirt, hit on some waitresses, and acted like a fool while here for a golf tournament—there are pictures online.

My ass is more of a national treasure than Ron Maclean is—you can't be serious about that

I couldn't stand the guy even before the Burrows comments.

Sorry Stu, but I wanted a more competitive league and you had Gardiner on your roster and starting even though he's in the AHL plus I got a PM from someone(I'll let that person reveal himself) that said you never replied to his trade offers. I tried to PM you before but not sure if you saw it or if it even sent.


Nothing personal, I'm still a fan of your blogs.

Ouch. Don't agree with my management style, so kick me out

(For the record, never got the PM.)

Good stuff.

Looks like both will stay here and then one(likely Lu) will be traded after the season(I'm guessing at or around the draft).
