an even bigger question is why the F*CK weren't they immunized as kids? I thought the MMR vaccine was given to you at like 1 years old and again in elementary school. Maybe I am jumping the gun here, as I am no doctor, but I would have thought they would have been immunized...

Such a strange story ....decades of hockey where wevhear nothing about the mumps ...and now it comes back for the second time in a couple years

GM's look for any leverage they can get..... even if we do make a deal we're not getting full value now.

Please, there's like 5 sellers and 25 buyers.
If Benning allows something as temporary and marginal as this to effect his overall game plan then he sir, is a (frank)ing moron.

I'm thinking of the Canuck fan who posts once or twice a year to say he is a rich, successful executive with a hot, nymphomaniac wife & mistress and has followed the Canucks since their inception but has bailed on season tickets because he hates Benning. Maybe that was Striker? I have trouble separating one whiny ass-munch from another.
- Marwood

Yes...that's Striker. He has the epic tear filled rants semi-annually.

Awesome, now we can blame WD for the mumps too!

25 buyers? Give your head a shake

Any and all trades have medical checks.
If the player comes up positive, they simply.sit out until they are better.

These are professional teams, not kindergarten classes for Christ sakes.

Which explains how so many professional NHL teams got it across the league the first time round, right?!?...

if we are running off of past history with Benning, you might want to grab the Kleenex box early..

Better buy more than one box too...

My brother was immunized and still got it when there was an outbreak on his team. As far as I know it isnt 100% effective

I just hope he gets any picks.... i don't care if it's a 2nd or 7th.... get any picks because he does well in all rounds!!!

If I had to guess there are 12 buyers and 12 sellers. and 6 teams on the bubble that could go either way. The notion that it's a sellers market is ridiculous.

YOU DOG!

history doesn't need to repeat itself but, either way, i'm thinking kleenex will be useful.

That's because opposing teams tend to play each other on the ice, in close contact.

Not because of a trade lol.

Only 16 teams can make the playoffs but there are 25 buyers?!?...

- Marwood

I have had season tickets for 20 years I deserve better. I am smart and rich with a hot wife Why does Benning hate my family I am done with the team as they have ruined my life

Sincerely,

Striker

It's a sellers market apparently

- WhiteLie

im very thankful I added the fact that I was not a doctor lol. Obviously not all immunizations are 100% full proof. I personally just don't know anyone who has ever had it, so its weird to hear that is has become so rampant in the NHL the last few years.

25 buyers? Give your head a shake
- CanuckDon

More like ten buyers maybe

Part of me wants anything for Hansen and Burrows...like two 3rd round picks. Part of me wants nothing so I can revel in the chaos and tears on this site

Yeah I guess there's no spitting on the ice all the time in a trade, so I'll give you that

- WhiteLie

as far as i know, no immunization is 100% effective. immunization works by decreasing the risk by having everyone immunized.

people who don't get their shots increase the risk for everyone (even those who have been immunized.)

my only question is: why is jenny mccarthy the canucks' team doctor?

More like ten buyers maybe
- Redmile247

Exactly....many bubble teams won't be making a playoff pitch. Ottawa and Montreal are probably the exception. Teams like TO won't be adding.
