Well, the author was right about them being quick to threaten legal action.

They clearly graduated from the Donald J Trump school of business: don't pay the people you have hire and sue everyone else.

They could have saved a lot of grief by talking to the journalist and raising all these positive points. She may have ignored them and still written the same article, but maybe not...

Thanks Carol!

Good one Wedgie

Thanks for the Novel Lefty. Interesting read.

Vantel - Burt said he would move back to Canada (Vancouver) if Biden won the election, I wouldn’t trust anything he says.

Don - (frank) you, and (frank) Chompsey too.

Codesey, hope you had a great day.

I HAD SOMETHING FOR K MAN TOO BIT NOW I HAVE FORGOTTEN. Also, not meaning to yell.



That’s for anyone who might be offended.

5-0 Canucks Boeser with another pair.

5-2 Canucks, Bo snaps out of it with a strong game and pots a pair, Edler, Brock and Loui into the empty net.
It will be a chippy game.😁

Yesterday's main blog from Ek, was kind of funny, some idiot tried saying, nothing to see here.

I wanted to try straighten the loser out, but not sure the simple minded can be convinced.

It has been pretty quiet on most Canucks fan sites the past week or so. I wonder if most of the fans have given up on the season, already?

Most Canucks fans want to see the world burn. Aqua came out and gloriously put out the fires like a true owner/hero, so we don't have much to talk about anymore.

Probably, the owner's 'everything is fine' public service announcement didn't help, it just added to the apathy.

There's plenty to discuss, however, a lot of it is the same stuff we've been discussing for the past five years under Jim Benning. It's taken him almost seven years to build a very mediocre team, for me that's an issue, just look at the defence, it's horrible.

Seven years to build a horrible defence when you've had multiple high picks in the first and second round, or should have had high picks in the second round, it's unacceptable and he won't last until next season.

4-2 good guys. Home crowd advantage!

True, so how many years do you give JB? He's already the longest tenured GM?

FA tweeted support to take heat off the team, however the results are still the same.

Ya was just joking. We have good discussions in here, but there has been a down tick since Aqua calmed those fires a bit. He needed to.. but ya, Benning is hopefully gone at the end of the season (or before). He didn't inherit much and was tied to some bad contracts, and has built up a good young core but has also tied himself to some bad contracts.

I think/hope the D he has drafted will start to come around: Hughes, OJ, Woo, Rathbone... if they pan out in the next couple years, that's 4 of 6 positions. But fully agree, he should have had more/better players with his drafting position.

Take away all of the bluster and there is realistically where most posters are.

I'm on #TeamExhausted, I miss the days when the team was entertaining like they were under Mike Gillis, or more correctly, under the Sedins. I miss the West Coast Express days, although I don't miss Dan Cloutier lol.

It seems like it's been so long since the team was good? When are we going to be good again, anyone know?
