I heard Chicago could wait to get rid of him. Is that true?

No.

what were u trying to say then. It was pretty clear. Get the stick out of your ass.
- Bieksa#3

Don't you have a thread to be in? An irrelevant one talking about an irrelevant team? Think its usually written by a Canucks blogger, talking about the Canucks?

- Bieksa#3

Obviously not.. Why get rid of a guy who scores the cup clinching goal for reasons other than the cap?

It's convenient for you to avoid my questions while asking tons of your own, hypocrite

There is absolute denying. HE SUCKS, period. He kills the game with overanalysis. Paralysis by analysis. You want the soul sucked out of hockey? Listen to Hughson and Simpson show how utterly hockey competent they are and fill every second with useless twaddle.

He SUCKS.

Unless you're a Canucks fan, I suppose. He's got your back.

Yet bob Cole was moved from the nationally televived game for him. Pretty clear you have no idea what you are talking about. Its a shame when every broadcaster can't be a leaf homer.

But you don't do it the other way

Awkward moment when Gardiner has the same amount of assists as Bozak

Come on gravyface, it's win at all cost and you know it.
The Broad Street bullies are revered for being a bunch of classless turds.

No...they are revered for WINNING two straight Stanley Cups...Big difference!

In how many more games oh and Gardiner is an offensive defensmen. Pssst

Bowman made it clear at the draft he was trading him. But hey if you want to deny that, that's cool

Are you (frank)ing blind or just high? I wrote a whole response earlier that you chose to ignore. Your parents should have fed you to the hogs while your bones were still soft.

Pretty clear to who? You? Big deal.

btw, had to laugh when Bure was saying a Stanley Cup is coming very soon. You could see the 'nuck players squirming in their skates. #burningdownthehouse

Wrong. They could not wait. Salary cap problems.
I heard you put your foot in your mouth alot. Is that true?

And look how Chicago is doing without him now. Genius comment.

Think he was always a Habs fan (actually I think I read that in an interview), but yes, he was great. He let the game speak for itself, unlike the current motormouths who feel the need to fill every minute with pointless minutia.

Hughson as a play-by-play guy is actually quite good technically, but he has no control over the drones in Healy and Simpson who can just drown out a game.
- gravyface

I don't mind Simpson, Hughson and Friedman. The rest of the CBC crew is awful

In how many more games
- honesthockey

4. But that's irrelevant. Considering how Bozak plays with our best 2 players and cant even contribute offensively.

oh and Gardiner is an offensive defensmen. Pssst

Oh, and Bozak plays on the top line. Pssst


I can do this all day. Its Sunday. I got no where to be. Its easy making you look like a fool with your own logic.


Wanna bash on Gardiner about stats? go ahead. Stats dont support your boyfriend

Wrong. They could not wait. Salary cap problems.

Doesn't appear to be problems there. Lots of other guys they could have parted with. The fact is Shae took bollands job

Pretty clear to who? You? Big deal.

That was a dumb comment by Bure promising that. He's retired. It just puts pressure on the current players.

Aren't they 2nd or 3rd in the west?

No.

you should be, games like last night are just going to keep on happening

Mildly confused i would say. Why Ranger gets the time he does is the most puzzling thing.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Ranger makes mistakes, but he seems to make them while generally in position - and he does take the body - except of course when's he hit from behind into the boards.

Coached at lot of youth hockey - and I can tell you that Gardiner drives Carlyle nuts because his first instinct is to skate around in circles and not use the body- which is a bi-product of playing youth hockey in the States ( please don't debate me on this point I know of what I speak ). Just watch the kid and his positioning on the fourth Canuck goal, and earlier in the game the Canuck player simply walks around him, forcing Ranger to come all the way across to make the play.

He has a ton of potential, no question, but his head generally doesn't allow him to commit to playing consistent d.

Who else would they get? The CBC isn't exactly chock full of talent.

Hughson's a fine play-by-play guy; a Canucks homer, yes, but he does a good technical job of covering the game. What I don't like is how he has no control or sense of what's good for the game in it's entirety: he lets the colour guys take up way too much air time with pointless, repetitive, ad nauseam plays.

Great example was the first PP goal: Healy and Simpson literally talked about it 5 times: 3 replays (once after commercial break), and twice during live play afterwards. You can't even hear the ice-level during CBC broadcasts because of so much droning by the broadcast team.

Cole never let them get carried away like that: I don't know if they knew not to blabber on or talk over him, but however he did it, the games were better because of it.

And Gardiner in his 20 plus minutes a game isn't on with them? fifth in points on defence. Offensive defensmen

Excellent post!

- Bieksa#3

with a 9-5 record.. Not 23-0 or whatever it was last year.

Yes, because having the guy who was the announcer for the canucks when bure was here is so crazy. Man, reach much.

I guess next time they should ask the leafs if it is ok.
- rune_74

It makes him look biased ,that's why. If Bob Cole did that for a Leaf player we'd never hear the end of it.

In fact, Bob Cole once represented Newfoundland for a Leafs ceremony (Only because no one else was available). He walked out and waved for 5 seconds and people around Canada went nuts.
