Or Sutter becomes a trade option?

Not to defend the idiots but cmon. If you don't feel ready you tell them no.

My doctor told me I should give another try to the medicine that caused my pancreatitis and I told him straight out no.

The media blow things way out of proportion here. Every little thing media and hysteria jump all over. As it turns out Demko is very close to returning so maybe the doctors were right.

That said Benning is an idiot . As you were back to the hate.
- VANTEL

If benning is told by the docs that demko can fly, i wouldnt see any reason for benning to hold him back, the doctors are the ones who diagnose. We will see when demko returns i guess.

On the flip side, youre right, a doctor cant know exactly how the patient is feeling. If utica doesnt play, and demko doesntfeel ready, there isnt any harm in keeping him grounded for a few extra days

Oh ok.
So what you’re saying is that JB just needs to go out and find a Getzlaf to solve this problem.

That should be easy.

Draft or trade for one.

Media blows it out of proportion. A few fans blow it further out of proportion, then Van's idiot fans turn it into a catastrophe.

There is no indication that JB has that ability. Zero. You are asking him to do something he is incapable of doing.

The guy can’t even draft or trade for a half decent dman let alone a talent like Getzlaf.

Your expectations of JB are too high.

Where is Nighthawk and Don? Did they go on holidays together?

Trade Gudbranson (wussy) to Anaheim for LW Nick Ritchie and stick him on Pettersson and Eriksson's line.

I actually havent seen the media cover it much. I think it was a phone convo with rick dhaliwal and demkos agent that kind of broke the story.

Looking at twitter this morning, people are saying the hearing could be based on Matheson using his stick as a "can-opener" on elias, which caused him to have his feet swept out from under him. Id have to watch the replay again, cause i didnt see that.

They just got rid of dead weight on the back end in bieksa, dont think they would acquire another

Sit shaller, guddy, and call up archie and beiga. Even Little beiga would have done something.

You started off by saying you read it in the media


I saw a story reported yesterday that demko phoned benning, and requested to stay behind in vancouver instead of fly to utica,

I just read Green's post-game comments and they disgust me. This passive, no retaliation response is utter garbage. I can't believe I want Ryan Miller back.
Dorsett is missed, he would've torn the limbs off of Matheson.
- Marwood

Agree, but Dorsett was a bit of a punching bag. Middle weight at best. But he was definitely truculent.

I've seen it about 20 times now. There's no can opening at all. As EP plays the puck he pins him against the boards off his feet and then throws him down once he is completely off balance.

I read the story yesterday about the details, but i initially heard from rick dhaliwal and his phone convo with demkos agent. I meant to say that i havent seen many stories in the media regarding the whole thing. I havent seen the usual media drama queens say anything about it.

Btw - if it isnt in the media, where else would we be reading up on this stuff anyway? Lol. What part of me saying that i havent seen the media cover it very much is hard for you to understand lol.

Exactly, he threw him down which was unnecessary. Unfortunately it was head first. An obvious suspension IMO. 2 games should do it.

Rick Dhaliwal is media .


aren't drama queens posters that try to make an issue out of nothing

Just gets lucky that EP is passing the puck as Matheson makes contract from behind. Doesn't matter. Matheson could realize that EP was off balance at that point and should have let him just fall. Instead put him further off balance and then the push to the ground. It's a dirty play as everyone has said. He deserves a suspension. It's not as if Matheson went intelligently head hunting though.

I doubt Matheson could manhandle 6'3 220 lb Matthews the same way.
- manvanfan

Swap matthews with Marner and there is still a 10 game suspension out of this.

Again, youre missing what im putting down. All news is essentially broken through the media, canuck official or not. Rick had a phone convo with his agent about it, which is where we heard it first. But until yesterday, i havent seen murph, botch, imac, or any of the big time media queens say anything about it. Its been pretty quiet.

Thats all i was trying to say lol

If he gets two games (which is serious) then what does it say about the reffing? The ref was in a perfect position to see the whole infraction.
