Ah the good ole Prock days - rumour has it he's been banned from the site until 2052 (too soon?) and is now peddling underground hardcore gonzo sock-puppet porn
- Zogg

He's still here...I think he was warned to stay away from the Nucks thread. He and a few Oil fans into it on Tessiers thread today...

Rory got ripped off. if you look at the voting, how is it that the average number of votes per day was in the thousands and then all of a sudden we are to believe on the last day 100k or so voted against Rory?

that was a scam. Cherry's rant about it was bullshiite too especially since he blamed Rory and was whinging. I think it was cuz it involved the canucks...
- kaptaan

Imagine Cherry's rant if Rory was playing for the Bruins at the time.

I would have to agree, best summer I've had in at least the last 6-7 years. That being said, Summers while attending UBC and living in Kits circa 2001-04 were pretty (frank)ing inter-spectacular! Does that count as being an adult?

Talking about the old guard in broadcasting, there's no way Larscheid could replace Rick Ball on play-by-play...but what about Jim Robson?

He's now 79, but he's younger that Bob Cole. Robson's sharp as a tack and still comes to Canucks games regularly.

I wonder if he'd go for it? Work out of the broadcast gondola that bears his name when Shorty's on TV duty?

Maybe for home games? Classic voice that brings back many a memory for me

The pensioners and shut-ins would be thrilled too... They just don't get the attention they deserve since Jim retired.

Ok... asking any question with Harold (HAAAAARRRRRROOOOLLLLLDDDDD - I can even remember starting that chant at a Vancouver Canadians baseball game many years ago.) is going to be a Harold landslide.

Rick Ball --- GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!! Hated the guy. I would rather Team 1040 use a simulcast of Shorty that was out of sync than listen to him.

Dan Russell is free. I know that is not a popular option amongst the young brain washed homer-radio crowd but he does a great job in the WHL and knows his stuff from Alberts to Zalapsky.

Why do I feel like you are Troy from White rock

Man, You really have some stong opinions. Sometimes its just better to laugh. For the most part I love the TEAM1040. Some guys are a little unbararable. (Jeff Patterson screaming when he thinks hes talking) Pratt and Jake were terrible of the bat, But frankly. Im used to there Schtick now and somewhat like there show. Simply because Jake will throw in the jokes (As bad as they are) but I find Pratt refreshing. Seriously nobody on the team will speak there mind the way he does. Sure hes wrong ninety percent of the time.

But if your listening to Sekeres and Price like a do every day. They have the listeners part of the show on tell me im wrong and memo to.

Never at all will they ever say someones wrong. MAYBE once inna blue moon. But he brings contrast to a radio stations the sorely needs it.

The fukking tell me im wrong segement is stuck with 99% of the listners being told they are " Right! MAyor of Rightville right." To hear Pratt in the morning kinda tell everyone to go shove themselves has become kind of refreshing.

So, I guess what I ask you is.

Tell me Im wrong?

My goodness. You're making me feel like I'm not the youngest guy on the boards. Thank you, thank you so much

I think I am getting you. Just as melba toast is the vessel for Antipasto or roasted garlic, so it is the mix for a nice drink or the paper for a rollie. It is healthier without this vessel?

A hamburger, fries and shake are better without the fries.. or shake? So confused, can't follow new age poope.

Well said, grasshoppa - now if you can snatch the watermelon from my hand, it will truly demonstrate you are the chosen one (make sure to use your Save-On card, though )

Ahh interesting, thanks for sharing. Just when you think he was down for the count... VOILA he has his own line of clothing, a lucrative contract with Sportsnet, use of the company car (1988 Geo but still), and a pulpit to rant on about whatever he wants to rant about... uggggg (Yetti, where is the justice?!! )

Vegas deal for NHL team as good as done according to Tony G

Vegas is falling apart. Bankkrupt hotels, stalled development and you can't even fill your day driving cab no more. The economy is in the crapper, has minimal domestic hockey fans if Phoenix is any indicator....what would be the point?

There will be an article in the Province newspaper suggesting the deal is done and they are building an 18 000 seat arena as we type

Every day I wake up here on the island it's blue sky's and +30C weather, unbelievable!!!!

If the NHL is going to add teams it should only be through relocation. Florida and the NYI or Carolina being the prime candidates.

The arena deal was going ahead months ago. They broke ground months ago.

Tom Larschied will be more involved with the 1040 this year now that Gililis is gone. He and Trevor were friends

Don't think so, retired. You may see him at the odd Lions game as a guest.

In my 40+ years I can't remember a nicer summer. Hopefully the winter is not going to make up for it.
