I think everybody has their own ideas and it's one end of the spectrum or the other. I don't know how some people come up with these ideas like Bo not scoring at home doesn't make him a number 2 center.

Traded, unless a #1D is coming back, sorry no.

I said Bo wasn't a good fit in the slot. I'd prefer him net front. That's Miller's position now. I did say that if Boeser keeps standing line a pylon on the right side of completely out of camera view all the time that Gaudette should take his spot because that was his position in college, where he scored a ton of goals from.

I don't think being captain is just about scoring or hitting or even being the hardest worker every shift.

Agreed. People are looking at the captaincy as something thats only on the ice and in the stat sheet. But lets look at the hit stats for the leagues top C's anyways. I'll list a bunch that have less than Bo's 30.

R. O'Reilly 13
Toews 28
Bergeron 24
Eichel 26
Barkov 10
W. Karlsson 29
Schiefele 22
Taveres 12
Matthews 18
Point 10

I can keep listing because it's 3 out of 4 top 6 C's that have less hits than Bo. It's a dumb narrative. He hits like most top 6 C's and that is a fact.

NarrativeBuck in shambles.

For a guy that doesn't like narratives you sure have a lot of them.

You are ignorant to facts in your narratives Vantel . I'm backing what I'm saying. It just depends on the validity of the narrative whether I like narratives or not.

I would like to start a drinking game for every time you say the word narratives but half this crowd would be dead by dinner time.

This makes no sense but thats what's expected.

Why would I be upset you like Petey more? I don't like Bo more than him... at best they are tied. I like Rousell and Hughes more... and Miller the most...See... this is what I mean... that is your line of thinking.

Don't project your logic on me.

I commented on facebook on the world junior roster about how I didn't think Canada was going to medal again this year.

Some guy from Kelowna telling me i'm not a Canadian because i'm not cheering for them.

I cheer for Canucks prospects only

Is this your narrative and you are sticking with it?

Me too

What the (frank) are you talking about?

When did I say best at those things? What makes you think I'm not good at those things? You know nothing about it so you make poop up instead.

You just showed a example of someone being full of poop but I guess you are excused because you can't help yourself..
- boonerbuck

You said that you're a consultant for legal start-up cannabis producers. Most legal start-ups are big companies. Millions of dollars at stake. They are usually pretty selective on who they hire as consultants. You must be very knowledgeable.

As far as fly tying, you've said you're a known entity in the sport. Ask around you said, "people know me". Just taking your word for it.

Anyway, I'm enjoying your weed discussion with Marwood. I think it's funny that you're acting a bit elitist in his selections. I like Bill Maher's take on that subject...

I remember last year when you came in here and wept like a baby that Lefty was abusive to you and attacking personal issues with you.

Yet here you are today firing personal insults and that is fine. I just want to make sure when I start firing them back you will be able to handle them this time.

I would like to start a drinking game for every time you say the word narratives but half this crowd would be dead by dinner time.
- VANTEL

Yet you keep saying the word over and over. Can you go one post without contradicting yourself?


You responses have nothing to do with the topic now and nowhere did you actually post something to back it up. Just fanboy drivel.

So there's roster hawk, and narrative buck

That is correct lol

trying to get you going I figure, its sunday isn't it

Speaking of Czech players,
Pastrnak, Necas, Vrana, Hertl, Hronek, Faska, Zacha, Kase, Chytil, Zadina. They have a pretty good crop of young players.
- manvanfan

Plasek?

Fight!

How do you know what I want? Seriously? Are you a mind reader?

I want a captain that if a player on his team gets hit that he comes to his defense like Petey did the other night when JTM got hit.

I want my captain to initiate like Petey has done hitting a few other opponents this year.

I want my leader to take the team on his back when they are slumping and pick them up like Petey is doing now.
- VANTEL

preach brother

He has not worn the C well at all yet.

The other day the afternoon crew on 650 said if you want answers we go straight to JTM.

I don't think anyone cares what Bo has to say personally. His interviews are boring and I think the media would much rather go to others for insight.

You can think he is the true leader but I think he is probably about 6 th on the list.
- VANTEL

wow

EP seems like the leader on the ice and JTM is the leader off of it.


Maybe Bo is the leader when they set up the Nintendo Switch and Playstation to play Mario Kart and Fortnite?

It's possible. He could be the coach's/GM's pet that rats on dudes like Virtanen, McCann and Stecher when they stay out past curfew on nights before the game.

They have a bunch of leaders, the letter c on the jersey does not mean its all on bo.
