CanadianRugby Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Everyone here is so insecure about the Canucks. If anyone in the media shows any criticism towards this team there's a thread opened about how that writer or station is a bunch of idiots that don't know anything about sports. How about you write out a response that explains why you think they're wrong. Yelling "Canucks cup champs in 4 years!" doesn't prove anything other than your blind optimism.

Stelar Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 How did the Hawks make out when they waived Ryan Stanton? he was the second coming of Bieksa though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you write out a response that explains why you think they're wrong. Yelling "Canucks cup champs in 4 years!" doesn't prove anything other than your blind optimism. Great generalization of the fanbase. Very telling. Many of us temper our expectations with realism. Your defense of the media is a weak one at best. Idiots like Sekeres, Price, and Pratt are not constructive in their criticism of the team or management, and never have been. They are purposely negative with the intent of stirring up controversy much in the way that parasite Farhan Lalji is. They don't actually give two squats about this team's success or failure and merely do what they do to carve out a niche for themselves in this bare bones sports radio market. These fools have no concept of presenting an unbiased view of the team or anything else in the world of sports. However they do have their fans, who also live to hate the Canucks, Lions, Whitecaps, and any other team that doesn't somehow jibe with their perception where they should be. They know that their embittered, overly negative audience will hang off their every word and defend them on sports message boards like the obedient lick-spittles they are.

darkpoet Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Media has a history of being this way in Vancouver, and as far as 1040 goes, they lost all credibility when they fired Tom Larscheid 5 years ago. Now they're just a bunch of nihilistic nincompoops sitting around their grand table trying so hard to convince the rest of us it's not a big circle jerk. Like they say: "You get a bunch of clowns together, and sooner or later you've got a circus" next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 And the fake RADIO voice he has when 'on the air' but yet magically disappears when he's in the player's locker room! Seriously, if he came into the room asking the players questions in his 'on-air' voice, every player would do a wtf double-take like, ..'Are you for real?!' Easily the most annoying 1040 personality to listen to, though that nasily know-it-all Sekeres is a close 2nd. I think I'm the only person that likes Paterson, but I think he's the most intelligent / reasoned of the 1040 regular staff. The only other competitors in that regard seem to be Taylor and Price. Shorthouse and Tomlinson would qualify, but they aren't really show hosts anymore. And Rintoul isn't stupid, but he's annoying and a midget. Paterson seems to think his positions through reasonably well and also doesn't lick the Canucks' boots with his coverage, nor does he create fake controversies just for the hell of it (Pratt).

DinoTambo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Someone said something negative! boohooo. Just wait in a season when we are the laughing stock of the NHL. You said this management is ''horrendous'', yet your avatar is of Sven Baertschi, an asset this ''management'' group brought in. Can't have it both ways, son.

VANcanucks92 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I swear people liked Corrado cuz he had a cool name. Still trying to figure what everyone else boner'd over this guy for. Its like this with every player we lose it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Lasso Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 TSN and Bro Jake ruined 1040. Don Taylor should parachute out of that mess and start a rival Vancouver sports radio station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Is there anyone else out there that doesn't really care what: TSN, SN, CBC, 1040, Provence, Sun, NBC, Facebook, or any other media Sources I forgot to mention have to say? Like I truly and honestly feel nothing when something is said negatively about the Canucks. Sometimes I see people complain about how commentators are favouring the opposite team and I have no idea what they are talking about. I'm seriously not joking I swear on my children. Is there anyone else out there? Or is there something wrong with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a strict diet of CDC (which covers the other media's 'contributions') and have recently checked out the CB4 podcast, which is infrequent, yet decent.

BCNeil Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I have lived all over North America and travel for work still. EVERY radio market is the same. Is always people phoning in to complain. I think radio stations screen to get the crazy callers.....people calling in also seem to mimic each other like some sort of act itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of reminds me when everyone was defending Mason Raymond....look where he is now Bang on the Raymond comparison.. I was flamed hard for saying Raymond needed to go, but what happened? I like to think that management knows a lot more than me about managing a hockey team - at least this group over Gillis. There's a reason they risked losing Corrado for nothing, and I'm sure we'll see it soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you toss away a Mason Raymond or Steve Bernier, sometimes you toss away a Michael Grabner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 To me the smart thing would have been to send Hutton to Utica and tell him it's temporary until they make a trade to open a spot. That would have been good asset management as Hutton is waiver exempt. It's been done before.Corrado wasn't good enough yet, he seemed to level off at a fringe NHL dman. So Benning was right that he needed more time in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 When you think about it the fellows down at team1040 don't know much. Think about how much useless filler talk goes on? They lack cred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
