Jared McCann: 0 PTS 6 GP for FLA Addition by subtraction for the Vancouver Canucks?

By


I must admit, when the Vancouver Canucks drafted Jarred McCann

I was really excited about McCann from day 1, and considering what I had heard about the type of game he plays and the fact he plays center, I considered him our most important prospect by far.

I don't know where the disconnect was but the player I watched last years wasn't the one I heard about. In fact it was more than once I thought to myself "This guy reminds me of Jordan Shroeder. He's Mr invisible, doesn't seem to want to stand out" It wasn't because of the lack of offense. Virtanen wasn't scoring either but he looked like a guy who was trying to stand out and make a name for himself, I saw sparkle, I saw hunger for the spotlight, these are star qualities that lead me believe Virtanen has something. McCann? Nothing, couple of wrist shots and disappeared for the rest of the year, no pushback, no demand for the spotlight, just sank into the shadows. Sounds like he's doing the same thing in FLA.
I'm glad he's gone.

Because in his wake we have been handed news that I'm sure much was done to suppress during the season but that perhaps was obvious once pictures of McCann Hanging with Beibs began to surface.

See, it turns out that I was wrong, McCann DID grab the spotlight during the season, he DID make his presence known and will not be quickly forgotten because of it. Apparently, Jarred McCann is a first class As$%%LE. Think about it, hockey is the most tight lipped , close ranks, give them name and serial number only type culture I can think of. Individuality is frowned upon and player interviews are world renowned for setting new standards in the useless quote department, So when you actually get a prospect, not a guywho even has a regular job, but a prospect like Andrey Pedan calling out McCann then you KNOW some serious ShIt went down, but that'sonly the beginnings: Ben Hutton's MOTHER implied that he was the only person on the team she didn't like. WOW! In Hockey that's like having a sex tape leak to media. I was one who told others not to pay any mind to Jarred's post draft Snafu, when he seemed sulky after being picked, much to Vancouver's general dismay, as it turned out , I was wrong. Had I seen ANY of his Ass%^LE tendencies on the ice I may have been sad to see him go, but on the ice, he was the most plain milquetoast slice o' white bread imaginable.

So all things considered, and even though I have heralded Eric Gudbranson as the 2nd coming of Dana Myrzn, I can say today with conviction:

Jared? Don't let Beibs hit you on the ass on your way out.

Why the Boss RC 202 looper is better than the 505 and how it helps the creative process.

With the Boss RC 202 Looper, there is both good news and bad news Bad news first? Ok... Sounds like poo 16-bit digital mud farts in my opinion going under standard with sound quality is stupid, because the people using this aren't guitar players looking to have chords back up their solos at the local unemployment office talent show , the people who buy this (me) are writing songs in a studio environment and would prefer not to have to re-track things But the good news is this: it doesn't matter, this thing is magic. EXCELLENT creative/writing tool. Also, this is awesome for DJ sets. If your live DJ mixer has an FX loop then this is all you need for Live Remixing. And the front end FX cover all the standard DJ FX for non-remix standard set FX. I do a lot of TV cues, that have pretty standard formats. So this thing has allowed me to make full use of my Korg Volcas, which are a pain in the ass to integrate. But with this thing, I track em' out part by part sticking to

The Vancouver Canucks and Alexander Mogilny: The Jerk-off you never knew

By
    The 2016-2017 version of the Vancouver Canucks is a team so offensively challenged the B.C foundation for the handicapped should be paying for their pre-game meals. So desperate are they to find some scoring, that there have been hushed whispers around town concerning a possible trade for the NHL's resident gangsta and playa from the hard streets of .....well...East  Van, Evander Kane. This is a player who seems unable to go out for the evening without getting into a physical altercation with a woman and breaking out in handcuffs. The whispers have many angry, including me. We don't like him, we don't want him. But before we all get too sanctimonious we would do well to remember that this isn't the first "Abrasive " persona Van has tried to deal for. About 20 years ago we tried, and succeeded in landing one of the NHL's premier players,w Mr. Personality himself, Alexander Mogilny For anyone too young to remember Mogilny remains one of the best pl

NHL NEWS:Jaramir Jagr retires? GOOD! Ever hear the story about Tochett punching Jagr out at practice?

By
So, Jaromir Jagr is finally calling it a day huh?  The great elder statesman of hockey finally feels he has nothing more to give to his beloved fans and adoring next generation of players? Oh BS! His gambling debts are finally paid off! Jarg was a selfish "me first" guy who sold his teams and people who made big financial investments in him down the river. He almost broke the Washington Capitals by accepting a gargantuan annual salary from them, then deciding that because it was guaranteed, why should he have to earn it? He already earned it with the Penguins!  What?!! Were they expecting him to earn it twice? It's this shockingly sociopathic thinking that the league has tried to make us forget once it figured out he was going to hold some permanent records and was therefore un-erasable. "Look! Look at the mullet!" The NHL has screamed over the past several years, wanting so badly for long-time NHL followers to forget the twisted thought proc
