WeDreamOfStanley Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The wild meat booth is hunting/ eating is far superior in every way to what he could buy in the store. So much better for us, we are not meant to eat all that processed and steroid laden garbage... And you do realize that a very small portion of the US population actually hunts right? And you also realize that probably just as much of a percentage of the Canadian population hunts as the Americans do correct? No, obviously you do not understand this.

Canuck Surfer Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nice! In the bear shot, the guy on the right looks like Kris Draper? Funny; no Moose... He's been practicing his shot all summer long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 From the "Early returns on Kassian" thread I quoted the ceiling on big Kass being a passing and fighting version of Booth. But, CDC and Vancouver expectations are high. A 217 lb winger who can scream up the ice with world class speed, win puck battles, bang and has 30 goal potential is nothing to sneeze at! I'm happy to have him. Samuelsson could have walked away this year and we're still well stocked, it was a good trade! It's ironic. Booth needs a guy exactly like Samuelsson on his line to be more successful. Somebody who is versatile and can pass when Booth breaks to the net,,, The line still needs a 3rd (passing) wheel. Where are we standing with Booth? Does he not have anything to prove this season? I don't think I've read anything about him practicing with the team. I'm hearing a lot of our younger guys like Kassian needing to step up. True, but I think Booth is totally being overlooked. He's more likely to make an impact than Kassian will in this coming season. I think if he does start to play good and Kes returns, that will throw Booth off his game given their chemistry. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bohonos76 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You all must be aware that nobody eats bear right? Bear meat is ridden with worms, smells like garbage, and is rancid. Booth shot that bear for sport - in other words, just for the thrill of killing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rink on Renfrew Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Every Booth thread get derailed into a pro versus anti hunting discussion. HE HUNTS! Get over it! A lot of people hunt, all our ancestors hunted. I don't care for hunting but it's not my placen to tell (or judge) anyone who does. He does it legit, all the power to him. Bear rugs are very comfortable. If you consume as much of the animal as possible I really see no problem with it. On topic. Booth will step it up. He's got the skill and of course he has some shortfalls, passing and reviving a pass but I believe he's going to play well once the season gets going. He has size and that's very important. I haven't let him off my radar I expect him to go hard to the net game one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybarber Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I could care less if Booth hunts, hunting is a sport, lots of people do it, not a big deal. The thing that I have an issue with, is that the majority of the team is here training, preparing for the season to start at any time, but Booth is not, he is out hunting so it seems. Also, when the kings knocked em out of the playoffs, I think it was like less than a week later he was bear hunting... You'd think there would be a little bit of a "remorse" period or something. I guess not... But as player, I think he has lots of potential and upside too, he just needs to work hard to get there (Something that he doesn't seem to be doing).

Navyblue Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Give me one reason why a guy who makes millions of dollars a year has to go out and shoot these animals. A duck supply for a month, what looks to be an elk and a moose on top of a bear. There's enough meat there to cover half a year, but I guess even millionaires get hungry. My point is there is no justifiable reason to hunt these animals unless it was for the purpose of feeding oneself. I'm pretty sure Booth can afford to buy a steak. It's really unjustifiable and if you're going to make it a freedom thing I will laugh in your face right now. Only exemption I see to this is fishing. Go ahead fish away, it's a species that can replenish itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Those hunting pics are really disgusting. I really don't understand the sport or of how you're a bigger man for shooting a wild animal. Americans I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai604 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's just typical and usual CDC having unrealistic expectations of Canucks players, plain and simple. It's easy numbers, really. Booth scored 16 goals in 56 games, putting him on pace for a 23-goal season, and 42 points over 82 games. Canucks fans have just gotten spoiled watching the Sedins rack up 80+ point seasons over the last few years. How many goals do you guys think the average second-liner in the NHL scores? People expected Booth to come in and rip off 30 goals, after having been traded for the very first time in his career. Coming to a Canadian city, and having to meet new teammates and learn a new system. I really don't understand what people expect. Add in the fact that last year Kesler was not at his best, and after having scored 41 goals the previous year, forgot that as a centreman he's supposed to pass the puck more often. With a playmaking centreman (I'm not suggesting Kesler can't be one, he just seems like he doesn't want to be one), Booth could probably regain his 30-goal form, or at least come close to it. He could probably be a 250-30 goal, 50-point player again. It takes time to adjust to a new environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 no it's not. sport is something when both sides have equal chance of winning the event. not when you're cowardly hiding and waiting for that innocent creature to show up. i can't believe the number of people who are ok with that. I guess for most of you, as long as a player wearing a canuck jersey, you'd be okay with him, no matter what kind of person he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitecarnage Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Don't be a hypocrite. If you think that slaughtering animals by the thousands in slaughterhouses under horrible living conditions after having pumped them full of drugs is better, then I don't know what to tell you.
