Happy May everyone,

So I just wanted to bring up a old concept, but this will be relatively new concept to most here.

You guys need to be aware of psychological harm that your harsh words can have on different types of individuals.

Just because someone is an anti-vaxxer, or doesn't believe the top scientists from around the globe. Or they are a conservative/republican believer and you believe in Green initiatives. Or you live in BC and are mocked by Albertans, or an Albertan getting mocked and ridiculed because of Albertan tendencies.

Words are hurtful and you need to be cognizant of the harm your negative attacks on each other are having.

It’s no wonder why Brandon Sutter doesn’t pick up assists, he just doesn’t have any clue about support and doesn’t pass the puck in any sort of potentially threatening situations. Just kills any offensive chance before it even has a chance to materialize. It’s so painful to watch

Thanks Carol!

@Mini - what if that 7th turned out to be the next Tom Wilson, and he beat the crap out of Tryamkin en route to scoring a hat trick in game 7 or the WCF in the 2024 playoffs?

Possible but if Tom is beating up Tree its probably because he has already injured Petey.

Fair enough.

I hope this doesn't make MB a target again.

So, are we onboard with Babcock behind the bench next season?

Damn, you got me there

But, and work with me here, but what if *new* Tom beat up Tree for running Demko and taking him out and then DiPi comes in and Dryden’s the league for years to come?

My message was about words, hurtful words...I just picked the two most popular topics on this blog at this time.

Think about what you say, how you say it.

Thanks, be kind...

Is he even still alive?

I don’t think Green will be back. Wholesale changes this off season.

Canucks don't have that kind of luck. 😣

I am a never say never kind of guy though. Always open to possibilities.

I am always kind to the members. I even tried to help Codes work through stuff the other day.

Thanks Carol.

@Codes and VHG

Im glad Benning was smart enough not to trade him to a Pacific division team for a 7th round pick. Guys a monster. Look what Matheson did to Petey. What do you think Tryamkin would do to the Van players.

Why would you want to play against him 6 or so times a year for a 7th round pick.

Tryamkin, apart from fighting jamie benn and breaking richardsons leg, didn't really do much in terms of being a "monster" on the canucks.

Next time I need a minivan top 500 scouting report on draft eligible kids, I'll come find you for help

Bring in an bumhole coach for one year. Weed out the soft p$ssys. No more player coaches

Edler's a country club guy. Look what he did to Hyman. 😎

I find it humerous that the guy that used to cry on the bench after getting slashed is considered a tough guy by this fragile fanbase.

Charge people a dollar a month for your content and you can be like everyone else that isn't an employed scout

He just wasn't a aggressive player by nature. He was fine defensively, he just wasn't a brute for his size, and that's what everyone wanted him to be. He wasn't the second coming of Chara, and that's what the media all pegged him at.

I said fanbase so I wasn’t targeting one specific group per Makitas instructions

The pendulum swings back again.
Torts is probably free this off-season...
