I totally missed my calling as a comedic writer. Probably the best part of the old hockeybuzz group was their collective sense of humour. Hopefully we can keep it going over here before Lordy migrates and ruins it for everyone.
Just kidding Lordy.
Regardless, the available talent pool thins fast for losing teams with the sort of track record the Canucks have over the last decade or so. I can’t see them being high on anyone’s list of places to sign both on and off the ice.
Yeah, everything seems to be pointing in that direction. Personally, I have mixed feelings about yet another rookie Coach and GM combo. But at this point I doubt there’s many other options. I can’t see the demand being high to be part of the 32nd place team that’s in no rush to win.
1st overall or 3rd overall, when golfing asked the question What now? There was limited hope but I never envisioned the complete and utter demise of the entire team.
There’s 11.6 million reasons this all happened. Turns out 1 bad apple can spoil the bunch. I’m pretty much done with this team until the Canadian to Swede ratio undergoes a significant correction. I can’t tell you the last Canucks game I sat down and watched. Sad really.
Sitting around woth a few friends who all had the same question, how long do you continue cheering for the Canucks when they have a player you despise?
For 3 of us, that player was forward Elias Petterson, while the other friend, if was Evander Kane, although he also is not a fan of #40.
After some discussion about it, the 4 of us felt the best thing to do was not watch any Canucks games while those players are on the team, or even just try becoming loyal to a different team,, which for 3 of us, might be hard, ass we have been Canucks fans since 1970 season.
Anyways, I have canceled my Sportsnet package as of midnight, the time in which #40 has his NMC kick in.
Some have decided that it was time to give up on the NHL all together and will be spending more time watching local hockeyGood for you. I’ve been drifting the same way over the last few years, but will still follow the Canucks because of certain players I like. But my favourite player for the last little while hasn’t been a Canuck and I’m good with that.
There’s options and when it boils down to it, if you’re like me, it’s probably the sport you love before the organization. I went to LA and Seattle over the last couple of years to watch live games. Have spent a lot more time and money watching the WHL than going to Canucks games. No regrets.
I’m seeing that Canucks traded for Evander Kane this morning. Which is really surprising, considering what they just went through with a dysfunctional locker room. Really disappointing. He’s on the last year of a contract, but still, they’re going to need a strong locker room leadership group to deal with someone who brings a lot of drama with him. Really disappointed.
Yeah, I don’t exactly get it. Unless it’s part of a bigger move. Which is quite possible with the way this group deals. Still, why throw the Oilers a life line?
