Bad press, It's followed the Benning regime, like a fish-fart vapour trail from day one, around two years ago they decided to do somethng about it. Read though any popular message board where the Canucks are disscussed, it's right there in black and white. Obstinate, Pro-Benning poster's who will argue till the Canuck's cup parade (That's a long time) that the Canucks G.M is a genuis, an expert at the draft table (hehheh...hehehehahaaha!) that Joulevi was the right pick, that the Gudbranson deal wasn't a "Let's find out if he's REALLY that dumb" practical joke expertly played by Dale Tallon, ect. ect. blah blah...GO! Take a look!   Yes, trawling though this trash is exceptionally anoying, but don't blame "THE THREAD" the dissonance in discourse is due to specific posters I think most people  are intelligent, and don't have their ego tied up in being "Right" I think most people are fine with changing thier mi...

Alex Edler.....just let that sink in, If this guy wasn't born to be a Canuck, then Vancouver's cost of living is do-able. At times, the guy has looked like he's had it all: The shot, pin-point passing, size, hits, PP point production, we've seen it all from Edler, his recent years have shown him to be in decline, but even at his best, there was something....off about the guy... Not off, as in, he seems like a bad person, I don't know him but certainly, don't believe him to be anything of the sort.  By "Off" I mean, as in: "This guy is fantasic.....but, I'm not 100% convinced he CARES" Edler as far as pro athletes are concerned has a bit of an issue, it wasn't so bad when he was doing extraordinary things, but now in the twilight of his career, it's become a real problem for the team. The problem is this: Edler is lazy, he's always been lazy (I once had to hold the door for him in Blaine because he was talkin...

I have feelings too you know,  Maybe not about other people (I was raised in Vancouver, I have to be at least PART sociopath, right?) but when you tease me about hockey......man, that's crossing a line. (Does it cross the: Sue Canada for 10.5 Million in Bumhurt damages line? If a terrorist can do it, why can't I?) No one seems to enjoy line crossing these days more than Toronto Maple Leafs fans, especially when talking to (Laughing, taunting etc.) observers of the Vancouver Canucks (see what I did there?) They like it when AUSTON MATHEWS receives a pass at the opposition blue line, or when AUSTON MATHEWS shot crosses the goal line, they like lines on scrap paper because it gives them somewhere to write AUSTON MATHEWS name, And most of all the like the "Comments" line on message boards, they LOVE that line, that's where they get to remind Canucks "associates" how their team had rebuilt the right way, while our team hired a talking monkey. O...

Do the Vancouver Canucks already have their future #1 center? Assuming Horvat realistically slots in at #2, is the answer to who plays #1 right under our noses? Quick quiz for all my 'couveies!  So, stop negotiating the sale of your lower mainland property to a giant Chinese conglomerate for just a moment, and see if you can't answer this question about your city (Before you sell-out of it lock stock and barrel) In Vancouver B.C, what do Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, A non-impeachable Premier, And a true #1 Center all have in common? Answer: Who cares! Go finish Seling your property!  Not your problem anymore! The next generation? Mehh...forget em' we're talking about MONEY here, money for YOU, and in Vancouver B.C, it's every man for himself, at least that's what the baby boomers who sacrificed their children's future, for a motorhome, leaky condo in Victoria and bi-yearly trips to where ever the flight are cheap (Even though you've got plenty, ...

So, the rumor is circulating that the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for a penalty-killing de fenseman and are in talks to acquire Eric Gudbranson from the Vancouver Canucks... COOL! No problems here! But Lea fs fans, listen up, gather around the fire and let me bend your ear with a tale of woe and horror, let me spin the terrifying fable of: Dim Jim and the Jolly "Non-puck handling" Giant By Donal "terrible D" Finn Harken ye douche tools of T.O! For the story starts now.... Eric Gudbranson...that big hunka hunka nasty, your girlfriend probably loves him (And may should he be traded to your town) Could he be the defenseman you covet? Still remembering his macho death threat issued against your own Matt Martin? A few more of those might be worth your girlfriend? Right? We all need to make sacrifices if we're going to win a cup after all... Besides I like death threats, so do you, I think we can both agree the NHL could use MORE death threats. Well, ...

Dear Tonya I hope all has been well for you since you have treated so rudely the 1994 Olympics. That wasn't such a great year for us either, and I don't see much difference between you having Nancy Kerrigan knee-capped and Mark Messier skating across the ice at the final whistle in game 6 of the Cup final to sneak attack and breakTrevor Linden's ribs. That Messier guy has a leadership award named after him now, seriously! But you STILL get no respect, well us Pacific North Westerners need to stick together so today I write to you on behalf of the city of Vancouver and implore you to come home! Come home and save us from our selves! No, it isn't the real estate thing we're worried about, although should you feel the desire to break the knees of any multi-generational residents (If you can call living in a fridge box under the Georgia st. viaduct being a resident, HAHAHA! I knew you'd like that one) The transplanting and displacement of the cities population i...
