We made an awesome pick that year

Then traded him for Raycroft
- lumlums

Was it Raycroft (or another ex-leaf goalie) that won that game for the canucks vs leafs and he pumped and raised his arms after the game? The game was in TO. He left the leafs on not so good terms.

It was a funny moment but I can't remember the goalie.

I'll make sure I bait him right away.

Man you're quick, that was like 30 seconds,

His first post was good, lets see if he can redeem himself.
- Makita

Fair enough. If he's been lurking as long as he says, he knows he crossed the line. Benefit of the doubt until we see how he handles NuckFU.
- Marwood

Apologies. In retrospect, it clearly was unnecessary and uncalled for. I don't think I was intending to stir it up but understand how easy it gets started.

Didn't occur to me that registration and bannination can happen of the same day

Yeah it was Raycroft

I know you guys are going to probably have something to say about this, but I would like to ask a favour.

When Nuck4U returns on Dec 07th at 12:30 pacific, could you please give him another chance, I have had a conversation with him and he has stated he will try to blend in without antagonizing others here.

Please, if there is a post that you feel is a "WTF" post could you please ignore it and not try to bait him, and he will do the same. There are times that he has some valid points and insight.

As humans we do for the most part try to be socially inclusive, but I do understand when someone gets under your skin and they have to redeem themselves.

Thanks

I'll do my best as an imperfect human.



(AKA I'll just DM you every time he pisses me off. Be ready )

some of us, it's (frank)ing annoying.

Yeah, I've had that happen before, especially with HH and UG back in the day... it's pretty annoying

Probably Raycroft

Nooo, don't DM me, please, not that.

I just mean defending the idea.

Belcher said he didn't want to move those guys to move top 5. I'm pretty sure if it's top 1 then he might see it differently. That said, i'm not sure it's the best year to trade up for 1st overall, and in a good year those guys don't get it done.

Also, teams holding the 1st overall generally don't want vets.
- golfingsince

I personally think aiming for top-5 is best, in general. It sets you up to pick high in each round. Tanking isn't popular, I fully support this team proving me wrong and the current cast turning into something I didn't think was possible. On paper, this is a non-playoff team for me. Do I want them to lose every game? No. I like to see my team win. But trading away the vets for picks and prospects for the future will result in this team being even worse than they are now after the TDL, which I am fine with because its better long term. it's like the economy, do you want 3 mediocre years, or to take a loss now in order to build infrastructure for the future so that we have stability and growth for 10

That'll take it to a whole minute

Tried that once, I was exhausted.

Remember Chretien's first term?

It was the hardest time i've experienced as a Canadian. However near the end things got better, followed by the best 10 years i've seen. I don't mind 4 years of pain, as long as we see gain at the end. I think that where we are as a franchise, I'd like to build organizational depth and having 2 first round picks is better than one, unless we're talking a franchise player.

It also says quite a bit about the poster's short posting history.
