  1. you're absolutely right. I'm gonna ignore the NHL. It's too bad because I've been a fan of hockey and esp the canucks for a long time. But like how people like soccer but wish FIFA would reform I guess hockey fans don't feel the same. Blind loyalty or get out... I choose to get out
  2. Well I agree Tootoo is a pretty scummy player. Well no one is admitting to what is being said but consensus seems to be that it's pretty ugly even though it's not suspension worthy. Right now it seems to be like a republican debate.... nobody wins. Both Burrows and Tootoo are dirty players and both guys are on teams that aren't good enough to talk smack and back it up.
  3. The Canucks getting blown out against Chicago many times, Boston, LA, SJ and Calgary in recent history is karma... I like gritty but not dirty play. I believe a big part of the losses was that Burrows, Kesler, etc. was pissing guys off and that made them come back at us harder and want to stick it to us. It made the refs want to stick it to us. Even if they have the talent I don't have respect for guys like Patrick Kane, Brad Marchand, Slava Voynov or Dustin Brown. Emotion without scummy play was the run in 94. I enjoyed that a hell of a lot more than the embarrassing antics in 2011. The best hockey I've seen in the last 4 years was the Olympic games where team Canada put on clinics... none of that had anything to do with fighting or trash talking.
  4. Tootoo and Burrows are both trash... they're both dirty players and I don't care who's dirtier. Refs shouldn't make it personal but Burrows did himself no favours with his dirty reputation in the first place. I'd enjoy the Canucks a hell of a lot more if Burrows wasn't on the team.... it was mega bad when we also had Torres, Lapierre and Kesler... yes that was part of the cup final team but if they just stuck to hockey they would have won the cup or at least lost honourably.
  5. Well Tootoo would be one hell of a liar and the worst kind of scum if it's not true. If there's an investigation and third parties like the guys who ran the penalty box say it never happened then I'll stand corrected. But I believe there's a 90% chance that what Burrows said was pretty ugly.
  6. That's not true at all. If Daniel Sedin went out today and said the n word or someone talked smack about Rypien then I'd be all over them too. On the flip side, there seems to be a lot wishing and hoping for Tootoo to screw up so that we can confirm that once a screw up, always a screw up.
  7. Whether it was real or not, Burrows is an unnecessary distraction. We turned the page on other players with negative baggage in Cooke, Luongo, Hodgson, Kesler and Kassian. Even if we win because Burrows smack talked the other team, how can you be proud of a dishonourable victory. I think it's time for Burrows to go.
  8. On the flip side, what does Tootoo have to gain by lying about this? NJ is in the other conference... it gives no competitive advantage. Given that other people in the league have spoken out about Burrows, a league that has an unwritten code, I think what Tootoo said was legit.
  9. I watch hockey for the speed and skill, not below the belt, crossing the line trash talking BS... The play should do the talking for itself. If the only way they can win is by low blow personal attacks then they're no better than Donald Trump. If Tyler Seguin and Zack Kassian can be traded for character issues, I hope Benning does the same with Burrows if he's serious about building a character team.
  10. I'm a canucks supporter minus Burrows. His hard work story has been tarnished by sinking to new lows in trash talking. Just like with Matt Cooke, love the team but not the some of the dirty players on it.
  11. I wonder if that affects a GMs performance in the bedroom
  12. I think $500,000, NMC, a new truck and two parking spaces to park that truck is a fair offer. Upgraded to three parking spaces if he scores more than 30 goals.
  13. If we want Kassian to be in better shape the Canucks should get a bunch of hot girls to walk in for his entire workout. That kinda motivation works for me.
  14. Oh man no wonder I hate life whenever I visit CDC. I bet many fans on here will debate to the death like lawyers whether pharrell's song titled happy is a sad song. If the canucks were as defensive as their fans they would get 82 shutouts a year.
