You’re right, it was basically a confirmed report

confirmed reports are narratives.

rumours about FA/TL meddling are facts.

Didnt we do this already?


JB conformed he had interest. The media speculated what it would take. Then the sheeple panicked and went off about what JB was offering.

You are the complete opposite of the person you describe in your location.

Contrary to media reports, I have not contacted John McCaw about acquiring the Canucks behind the backs of my partners and have no plans to do so.

I don't live in the woods.

But seriously... you are backing a ridiculous Eklund rumour without even thinking twice. It's comical as I read your location.
BINGO!

Terrible news about Jason Botchford.

In a world of hacks and hot takes, Botch always kept his writing on point. RIP

lol, i'm not backing the rumour. the rumour's garbage.

i'm poking fun at aqualini b/c he's a greasy fcucker who has demonstrated that many times.

you seem to believe all the rumours that back your view (eg FA and jake/LE signing) but dismiss any and all rumours as "narratives" when you don't agree with them.

it's comical but hey that's why this place is so fun.

Just for a short time, he's one of the pieces we're sending to Pitt's along with Horvat. Boeser and a first for Malkin.

Yes. We are trading everything away for Lucic, Subban and Malkin. We plan to have no picks as we host the draft as well. When thats all done... we are bringing in Gillis to take control of the drafting department. Kadri will be the Canucks new Captain.


This is just the bait people have bit on in the last week. I kid you not.

Thanks Carol,

Very sad about Botch. Like his stuff or not he was a father and husband. I lost my wife 10 years ago when our kids were 16 & 13 and it was incredibly difficult for all of us to cope with her loss. I can only imagine how difficult it would be with young kids.

I'll miss his Athletties/provies, IMO they were by far the most entertaining Canucks content (no offense Carol, I read your content to be informed and rely on the posters here to entertain me) even if it was often rooted in rumours and myths.


Enjoy your family while you have them!

your logic is definitely not understandable most of the time so you got that right!

We did. You conceded that the first was involved, we agreed that the “+” was just an assumption made by Friedman
