Newsflash Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Along with the rest of the Canuck's fanbase? He's pretty much just a die-hard fan like the rest of us but he's also a "journalist." Tough days for Canucks fans these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noheart Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 A little off topic but is Botchford Married? Or has he ever been seen with a woman? He seems like a angry weirdo that sits at home and does weird things to and with weird people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Come on dude, isn't that going a little overboard now? Nobody is Aaron Rome.. Jeez, keep that to yourself next time. Uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllEyezOnMe Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Disagree. Alberts is also playing far better than Edler this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nothing intentional my friend, just adding some stuff. Tough night, came off as an attack i guess. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Alex Edler - 28:54 -2 Kevin Bieksa - 27:30 -2 Dan Hamhuis - 23:57 Even Jason Garrison - 23:15 Even There's your answer. AV is playing Bieksa and Edler as top pairing defensemen when they're not. Hamhuis and Garrison are the ones that should be playing 30 minutes a night, not the other way around. I don't know if AV has a clue sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Botchford is a douche, always being condescending to everyone he talks to, except when he's on TSN and he kisses Gino Reda's butt. Would love to see him get knocked out and realize that yapping from behind his phone is a lot tougher than doing it with real consequences. He can't take any criticism whatsoever yet he has no problem whining about every little detail wrong with the Canucks... that's what you call a touchy hypocrite. The Sedins had some good puck control shifts 5 on 5, and set up Kesler for the PP goal by moving the puck around well. That hardly counts for nothing. Edler was terrible, I hate to say it, but I can't even defend him anymore. I hope its a case of an injury he's hiding and not some bizarre backtrack in ability... but his minutes definitely need to be reduced drastically.

CrazyAL Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nothing but truth. And why? Why the Sedin's on the ice for the last miinute when you have guys like Lapierre and Higgins on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 At least Botchford knows hockey a little bit. Love him or hate him, that's rare in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Aw, i'd challenge him, but he blocked me. It's funny watching Canucks fans scramble after a loss. Media's just as bad. Classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffHockey Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 i honestly don't know why anyone's upset now, the writing was on the wall ages ago, No first line or 4th line. Sedins haven't shown up in the playoffs ever. 1st Line is useless in the playoffs im hoping for a sweep so that the massive changes necessary can happen and we come back strong.

Darkstar Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 How does this guy still have a job? Regardless of the outcome, calling someone out for a fight is unprofessional as frack, albeit hilarious. He'll likely regret calling Edler a dipcrap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 After TheGame tonight, I'm surprised half of these guys are even NHL'ers. The team has Noheart and look extremely disoriented in the defensive end. The powerplay is futile, maybe that's a result of TheEhrhoffEffect and we don't have a true PP quarterback. Either way, we need to make an "R.A. Dickey" type move in the offseason. Get a true power play performer.
