Canucks in the hands of morons?

By
The #1 most crucial step in a rebuild is removing the cornerstone players of the old core.

While they are still in place team culture, attitude and identity remain the same getting progressively more stale by the year until it becomes bull blown rot. The old leaders most be moved out so the young guys coming up can grab those leadership spots and re-make the team in their own image.

Look at Calgary, they stubbornly refused to move out Iginla, who is as important to them as Trevor is to us, the moment they surrendered and moved him things started to go right for that team, new leaders popped up out of nowhere and the team became exciting vibrant and fun to follow. This year or last should have been the season the Sedins moved on to Washington or Montreal or even FLA or NAS to go get their cup. and the year Horvat and other top picks made this team their own,  Burrows and Hanson could remain to make sure the kids stay on track. But.....

 there is a big problem with making that transition right now and the problem proves JB is one of the worst GM's this team has ever had, maybe ever

the single biggest roadblock to succession at this time is that in the last two drafts the team, NEEDED to acquire another top 6 center, the top two centers and #1 Dman are the three players who make a team what it is, but JB and Aqua seemed completely oblivious to this fact and how desperate the need was and lazily drafted "project" power forwards and depth defensemen, squandering the key to our future.

Horvat needs help to form the next leadership group and right now he has none, Juolevi and Virtanen were absolutely terrible picks for where this team was at and have set this team back 5 years.

It is possible that the Canucks disappear into an Oiler-like Black hole, with the old guard fading and not enough new soldiers to take their place.

This is the year so much is riding on, JB needs to get whatever he can for the Sedin's at the deadline and then at the draft it is ALL IN FOR THE BEST CENTER ICEMAN AVAILABLE

Any other strategy proves we are in the hands of idiotse

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...

VANCOUVER CANUCKS!! How's that "Re-build on the fly going?" Time for this team to "Own" it's problems

By
Remember last season? The one before maybe? I doubt it.  Psychiatrists say that extream boredom over a prolonged period can cause long term memory loss and actual brain damage if the mind isn't positively engaged at some point. In light of that, just concentrate on getting those mashed peas into your mouth, I'll assume the answer is "Nyaha..." No biggie, there really isn't much worth remembering, if you followed the Cancuks recently you have probably considered calling up the front office and demanding to be put on the payroll, because you can see no other logical reason to subject yourself to this drudgery. In fact, I'm willing to guess that if you remember much of anything it's not the stuff on the ice that caught your eye, more likely it was the noise from the stands that remains tattooed on your poor gray matter. "Tanking is for losers!" "Baertschi is going to break out for 30!" "Erickson is just what the twins need!...

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

By
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 ...
