that's not nice of you to say.... sure Mumps can cause some deformities, but to call the Canucks Trolls is a bit too much.

Will you avoid the site or enjoy the tears from the drama queens? I am not sure at the moment.

popeye hated spinach.

it was all that nagging from olive oil. "eat your greens." "you're anemic and you need spinach." blah blah blah.

So it's actually much the same

How many teams annually are active buyers and then they don't make the playoffs? None? The bubble teams probably won't buy or sell. This should be common sense?
- CanuckDon

Plenty of teams gear up in an attempt to get in, only to miss the playoffs.
Look at Boston last year and the year before.

Who did Boston add the last two years? Plenty of teams don't gear up and miss the playoffs. That's simply not true. #morecommonsense

They weren't buying to make the playoffs, just like Granlund wasn't an attempt to keep this team in it....

Stempniak and Liles.

Connolly and Talbot.

Edit. Colorado was one of the most active teams last year picking up Boedker, Matthias and Gelinas

Those aren't upgrades

Regardless, it certainly isn't common for bubble teams to load up and then miss the playoffs.

Edit. Imagine if Benning bought several vets and missed the playoffs

Ironic.

Sorry Dad, Nuck4u and Dragon have not been here yet today to bring you to tears. Still waiting on that $$ btw.

Don, I am getting very tired of having to prove your ignorance.
Use Google, it is your friend.

Boston added like 3 or 4. Stepniake etc etc

It's not common, but it does happen. Obviously those trades didn't work out and were terrible at the time as well as with hindsight. Doesn't change the fact that they were buying.

Didnt that happen we we got Keith Carney?

Also if Benning did that, the herd would thin out pretty good around here...

Precisely, add in the fact that a good portion of the league could be considered bubble teams at the moment due to the standings and, we will likely see the same thing occur this season.

I didn't say they didn't add....grow up

Alright who layed a curse on the canucks? does it go way back when cyclone Tayler said Vancouver will never win the cup again after a falling out with Patrick the GM and being traded to new York, don't believe in curses but the events of 47 years tells a story that there might be.
