I didn't read it on the internet or hear it on the radio.

It was on Twitter but still not confirmed.

I think Chinese is okay; it's "oriental" that lights the fuse of the Jackie Chan firecrack within

He is a wise man very scrupulous .

If he was beaking about Rypien, I would assume Captain Willie would have told him to shut it. And Thornton might be stupid stupid, but he ain't that stupid. I hope not anyway.
- moondawg

I really can't see a player going that low. Thornton stood up for Rypien years ago and talked about the great player Rypien was on and off the ice.

Thanks....money is the poops but keeps me active and I get to be home every night.

Excellent news. It's important to stay active . That's why I haven't fully retired yet.

I can . Players like Burrows Tootoo Marchand Thorton Avery , there is no line

which radio station. I need to look it up. Wasn't 1040 was it?
- Codes1087

I said I didn't hear it on the radio. I know a guy who knows a guy. Do you really think the Sedins would get that upset about being called the sisters? They have been called that since they started playing hockey. A friend of mine told me it was about a Rypien and he knows a guy that works for the team.

Edit. I'm sorry, I'm starting to sound like Eklund. I'm done,

I start next Monday here in Victoria, government job, no more traveling for this guy.

What ministry? I'm looking around for a Gov job at the moment as well. Time to get a pension plan....after working 20 years in a job that pays well, but doesn't supply me with a pension. I'm ready for a change.

We've known Thornton was a douchebag since 2011 but if there is any traction to Rypien comments that is pretty low...wow.

Agreed, sounds like water cooler gossip.

My last call was interesting.

It was a little old Chinese lady around 70 years old. She was vey upset that her Internet /wifi was not working. I asked her to show me where her modem was ?

She told me to wait one minute and went to her closet with a small 2 step ladder/stool. She comes back with a shoebox with the modem wrapped up in newspaper inside and said here you go.

Right at that second it occurred to me that this is going to be just like Lefty in 6 months if we don't get him back to work soon.

If anyone of you know someone looking for an ex engineer for some light duties and are willing to pay about 250 000 .00 a year, keep in mind our good friend.

Let's get Lefty back to the work place

My one grandma is both of those things and I don't find it offensive
- Codes1087

My Granddaughter is both of those and fat.

Agreed, sounds like water cooler gossip.
- moondawg

IF TRUE, then that is awful stuff. Given the role Thornton plays and his history of speaking about Rypien, I really can't see it though. Hopefully the truth comes out soon.

I believe it. I'm telling all my friends now. Makes sense, Sedins would not get that upset about being called Sisters.

Must be the Rice. That will build some extra padding.

Good. I know it is a players livelihood , but.


When we get old we know it's coming. He will still make 2.5 mil next year. Everything including myself has a shelf life.

ok everyone lets settle down on Hamonic. Good players and all. But we dont know the reason he needs to leave the team. Does he need to leave the east or just that team?
If he needs to be relocated then where is acceptable for him? I think if this were straight forward itd have been done already.

we dont know whats going on, but he has something going on that we have no idea how it will impact us if acquired. Maybe we'd have to turn around and trade him later.

People are making it seem like its all just easy. Sure id like to have him and all, but we have to consider his situation too
- SMBDragon

He wants to go to wpg, edm, cgy, or van. It has been stated those are his desirable teams and it is due to family issues, he wants to be closer and have an easier time getting there.

+9000. contract is bad
- Codes1087

Juts buy him out. i'd rather have 1.5mil for 2 years and save 3mil for the 1 year than have 4.5 for 1 year thats untradable.

Unfortunately for him its his contract that is killing his chances at NHL, no one will claim him and pay his full salary. The best chance he had was a trade and the Canucks eating salary, him at $1.5 is a fair price for his services but I guess there wasnt a deal anyone liked
