Yeah that was classic. MacKinnon's expression is priceless. Just after getting spanked in the playoffs too.

Yeah, kind of my point. There is a time and place for a particular line of questioning. Expecting a player to be accommodating while asking silly questions during a very frustrating time is too much to expect IMO. Especially when the same questions are being asked over and over again.

Saying that, noticing an increase in conflict between reporters and hockey players. Didn’t a Philly player go off on a reporter recently? The animosity is definitely entertaining.

Yeah I think Vorachek went off on some reporter last year...

No . He use to be on HNIC and was let go when allegations broke. He was a pretty arrogant fuck until the story broke. He does podcasts now . I think he was the goalie when they won the cup

Aaron Ward? Not a goalie . He was a Dman.

I saw in comments on an instagram post.

"Why do failures at life think making a poop podcast with misogynistic views is peak alpha behaviour now a days."

The Joe Rogan effect?

Matheson was definitely an bumhole in that exchange. Leon is a frustrated athlete on a long losing streak dealing with a douchebag who thinks he's entitled to dig and probe into an actual performer. It's embarrassing for all concerned but I don't think Draisaitl is the bad actor here.

I just listened to it with the wife right now.

Then I read her some of the comments from people in here on it.

She laughs that if you think getting paid handsomely and doing something you love, should allow others to treat you like poop in bad times.

As she said it isn't about being tough or mature. It's about respect.

Maybe they shouldn't play in the NHL if the media is going to be disrespectful.

The Joe Rogan effect?
- NewYorkNuck

I hear things and people quote Joe Rogan on things but I have listened to a single podcasts when I was forced to by an antivaxxer co-worker. Who is Vaxxed to keep his job but firmly against it.

So I might know what you mean but don't really know exactly what you mean by the Joe Rogan effect

Sounds like JT may be traded. SHAMBLES

Rutherford on trade deadlline : Not working the phones a lot but listening for sure, I answer the phone, listen to people. When we hire a GM, we will have another voice which will be good.

You always reminded me as someone who thought they were the solution but in reality they are the problem.

Or you took acting lessons from Nucker.

Neither, just voicing my opinion. If pro athletes don't like answering questions as to why they suck then they should pursue something that gives them the privacy they desire.

I still think it will be guys like Motte moved not Boeser. Maybe in the Sumer the bigger moves.
- VANTEL

Hopefully your thoughts are correct, I think Pearson would also be a good trade chip, Chaisson was free he might get something at TDL.

I think the team will be in the mix for WC spot so maybe no moves at all until definitely out of the picture.

There was just a tweet from Seravalli saying Canucks are open to moving him.

If you actually believe that. I think you are a little more (frank)ed up than I ever thought.



One of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

I do.

Former Canucks hockey Ops Chris Gear on Drais and McJesus

For what it’s worth, in my opinion McDavid was put in a difficult spot and the questions and comments directed to Draisaitl were out of line (and the reporter’s attitude sarcastic), so I give both players a pass.

I forget who said it but they said if you ask any player on a Canadian team about their thoughts on protocols. It wouldn't be good.
