This right here makes me question the validity of the article. Management suggesting that their players go out and have 20 pints

Even in my booziest of days, there is no way I could throw back 20 pints

Of course, thats for everyone not just the hungover guys.

Plus there is rum in these too:

The caffeine and sugar hit apparently works, I've seen athletes in other sports drink coke in-game as well

Enter Travis Green.

Yay.

Yay.

A realllllll convenience narrative there...


(Though I did see the sports science episode where they looked at the impact of skittles on Lynch, it apparently gave him a boost)

- Marwood

Why not? His excellent player development, if they go full rebuild he may be a fit.

VanhockeyGuy just Trumped you all with Fake News.
See you at the next rally

when the frank did I say that? They are hopefully mature adults. They can have a beer or glass of wine the night before a game.
- CanuckDon

so then what exactly is your point? you believe the article that these guys are having 20 pints on the regular?

i'm pretty sure that aquillini told them to. amirite?

So let me get this straight, an NHL player having a beer the day before a game and picking up chicks now constitutes a P.R nightmare?

(frank) me
Grow up.

Remember Tom Renney?
- Marwood

that worked out well.

It's truly absurd...so of course it's gaining traction with our local media At least Dan Murphy said it's a joke

Why go to a former AHL coach if it didn't work the first time?

Players should not be drinking the day before a game.

Are you new to the NHL?
Do you know what happens during the playoffs?

Who the (frank) cares.

My point is players shouldn't get blasted before games. I don't believe the article it's trash. What is your point? Have any sarcastic comments or images to post?

Ownership, marketing would be my guess.

I do. I don't want a bunch of Kassian's on my team. Thankfully, the majority of the players don't appear to be big drinkers.

Add season ticket holders to that list.

my point is that i disagree with:

- CanuckDon

i think that players should be treated as adults and suffer the consequences when they abuse that privilege.

Yes.

I agree with you. So no, we really don't disagree.

Edit. Since when does going out "drinking" refer to one glass of wine. If I am going out drinking (tonight at the game) it refers to lots of drinks. Not one. That would be a "drink."

I agree with you. So no, we really don't disagree.
- CanuckDon

you agree with me disagreeing with your statement.

well, that was easy.

Players are paid millions of dollars to play the game, yes.
You subsidize that salary, as does ownership.

Does that mean these individuals are owned, or owe you anything, No.

I could give two (frank)s if a player goes out and knocks back a 24 before a game, as long as they come to play and give it everything they got.

You are not entitled (through your wallet), to tell anyone how to go about living their lives. This stuff has literally been in the game since its inception.

Find something relevant to female dog about.

Most of them found out yesterday that they are losing their jobs at the end of this season. They are doing everything they can to throw the Canucks under the bus. Losers!!

I am stating my opinion you jack ass. I am not complaining as the team doesn't have a drinking culture. They are the tamest team in the league.
