Man I hate crypto. Our society has hit rock bottom

It's done well for me. I've pulled out of energy and finance, invested in Crypto. There are also a couple of good ones on the TSX.

1) What do they need cap space for?
2) it’s just what I do?

Good for you. If people can make a quick buck off crypto that’s great. I can’t invest in something without intrinsic value.

How do you explain the time you have invested into being a Canucks fan then?

I must have an Albertan cousin or something... maybe some inbreeding. I can’t explain

hope for JV's sake the allegations are not true....but if they are, that he faces time.

less important, but still relevant:
CBA & League precedent (i.e. Slava Voynov, 2014-2015) would likely be indefinite suspension of a player under criminal investigation for a violent crime, and possible termination of the player's contract if the player is convicted. I don't believe the team gets any cap relief during the suspension.

A player is accused of sexual assault and some fans are wondering how it effects cap space at the end of a disastrous season.
Have a great day everyone.

Thanks Carol

Sure is crap to be a Canucks fan right now.

Play = Crap
Roster/roster moves = Crap
Off Ice stuff = Crap
Defensive play = Crap
Offensive play = Crap

Pom Poms are feeling like cartoon strongman weights.

Doesn’t matter who it is, got to feel sorry for all involved. Just another distraction in a lost season.

For call ups. Remember OJ and Zac Mac didn't play as much as they would have liked thanks to the cap.

I would like to see Rathbone and Gadz play.

Thanks Caz.

Sounds like the team is taking these allegations seriously, as they should.

JV has played his last game here I reckon.

There’s so much misinformation on this whole subject. Covid has destroyed many relationships. It spurns hate among friends, family and people in general. Too many different beliefs on the pandemic.
When Trudeau banned flights to Mexico and Caribbean destinations, we chose to change our flights and get out of the sh!tshow. Now I’m so glad we did, there’s no talk of the disease here. I know no one that’s got it here. City requires masks and temperatures taking at the entrance, but there’s little precautions in Sayulita where we live. I attend the weekly baseball game here, drink beer and eat peanuts in the stands. I sit with my Mexican amigos while enjoying the game
The only Covid news I get is from back home or here on Hockeybuzz. It’s crazy how it’s so consuming for some, pouting fingers at others because their beliefs are different.
BC is in worse shape since we left, we were going to come home at the end of May, but why? I’ve given up on Facebook and other social media outlets because some people are crazy.
Don’t worry about what others do, they may not view this the same way as you, but that doesn’t make them wrong either. Do what you feel is right for you and your family, enjoy yourself and stay safe.

If you are in 28th place and you can’t afford to play an ELC level player because of the salary cap, you have larger problems.

I feel bad for the woman but happy for the team if Jake is gone (piece of sh!t)

But Aquilini is happy, do we have the worse owner in the league?
