I feel like we continuously look forward to when that one player who is on the decline, for his contract to expire and finally be rid of him, only to move on to a newly signed player to look forward to expiring. I remember it started with sbisa and dorsett after they signed. Then it was the sedins. Then it was LE, now we have gagner and beagle and edler. Its just a continuous vicious circle and free agency continues to be a huge reason for our failures.

At some point they won’t have to sign guys to protect other guys because the new core will be doing that.

Linden? I mean ultimately this is all his fault.

Gillis you idiot

Remember that time the boards was a happy place, where people had good conversations at the exit of an illiterate, argumentative SOB from new york? Man that was a nice short lived time. Lol

You really are a poop disturber

Just being realistic, I don’t buy into the waive him or trade him it’s easy camp.

I have absolutely no faith that Benning can go through a free agency period and not make a stupid deal

Gillis you idiot
- CanuckDon

There’s the Donny we know and love. You rascal you.

You are an eternal (self proclaimed) optimist, which is a great personality trait! But you come off on these boards on occasion as a bit of a Richard. You say something optimistic, or even negative and if someone disagrees with you they’re dumb or wrong or whatever. Someone else says something and your response is “no poop Sherlock” or whatever.

So, you have a choice. Take the blue pill, and we show you how far down this rabbit hole goes or take the red pill and wake up in your bed believing whatever you like. All I’m offering is the truth

And for the record, I know I’m a Richard, you don’t need to remind me
- 1970vintage

My optimism is founded on lets wait & see about prospects.
I don’t get involved much when it’s the vets or UFA’s.
When it comes to negativity i’m fine with it if it’s said & done with & not repeated daily. As for deing a dlck it’s my dry sense of humour & i don’t personally attack individuals here by name as a rule. As for condescion from ppl few have earned it & it’s mine to choose to allow to take it from ppl.

Lastly i do realize it was a long offseason & we are a sad team & it can get very tough to see what is coming up for us this year & beyond & enjoy it. It is sadomasochim times ahead for us whether we want it or not.

Oh man, you have less faith than me. That is a very dark place. I am sending my hopes and prayers your way.

Really not feeling this Tim Scahller fellow.

Invisible but maybe real hockey is played he shows otherwise.
Idk but it’s all i got lol

His track record as canucks GM and free agent signings has me less than convinced lol

He was talking about NFU

Yeah i think the roster sucks

But with tim schaller........ He just doesnt really do anything.

Like what is this dudes identity?
- classic321

12 goals and grit. So far he hasn’t done anything

I’d post the Michael Jackson popcorn meme but i’m afraid of offending someone.

Just getting warmed up

I’m at my sisters bday party and could barely watch the game but at least I’m drunk

We got a winner 👍

Gillis you idiot
- CanuckDon

I’m probably the worst at blaming MG.
I said he was the problem & i also said 2018-19 is now all on JB.
His job is on the line & fully under the microscope.

I’ll apprentice under you.
Go ahead have at er 😂😂👍

Ok, first you have to be a bit vague about who you are trying to offend. For instance, the post you quoted was meant for Neem, because of his hate for VANTEL’s avatar.

Codesey was referencing Nuck4U but you bit on the bait, so he also needs some mentoring.

Yup nothing so far to the contrary has he proven.👍

Yes i know but with a veiled inference. All good

- CanuckDon

You mix in some pumpkin spice into that latte or what donny??

I can't believe Benning came back with the same defence, God they're all horrible!!!!
- LeftCoaster

Stay the course tight? What would Linden do. Right?

Yet when Benning made it public that he was looking for a D to push the PP,,, the shortcut comments were made.

No shortcuts. No long cuts. No standing still.

What would make it even worse is that many want to subtract from the shallow depth on D to gain a pick or prospect.

People want all this but they don't want the outcome to look ugly... or uglier I mean.

I come out of the gate warm n ready just ask around 😂😂👍
