Same. I follow the team online now. I don't have time to watch the games like I once did. I'll see maybe one game per year. We have a toddler and a lot of hobbies. A 3 hour TV binge just doesn't fit into our lives right now.

Just tell me where Vintage is moving to so I can follow.

And Sean stayed composed and didn't try to get the stoppage, opening himself up to Izzys counters. I agree that the moneyfights are obnoxious but fans have done this to themselves. Most people pay to see big personalities rather than skilled match ups.

I think it's fine if your interests change over time! I'm sure you're spending that time and energy on other things. But you must not be the only one that feels this way. Strickland shocked the world last night and this thread is super quiet.

Ah yes, the imagined moral superiority is so charming. May we all aspire to live by his example.

I have to say Loui. I'm defining the term "disappointment" as the gap between expectations and reality. Maybe this is hindsight speaking, but I feel like the Messier and OEL debacles were criticized right from the start. Expectations were high for Loui. If youre asking what the biggest train wreck in Canucks history was, it's easily Messier

Nah, the OP is allowed generally speculate about common human idiosyncrasies without being called dumb. That's what forums are for! Anyway I hear he's been skating a couple days per week with the Red Deer Rebels and has been exercising again. I'll be cheering for him to get signed too.

I'll defend the poster's opinion. Humans are really temporal, Deb. It wouldn't be logical for Sutter to have negative feelings towards the City of Vancouver because of the injuries etc, but that's just how the human mind works. As examples, if you traveled to London and got mugged there, I guarantee you would forever hate London, even though it's objectively a cool city. If you moved to Kelowna and suddenly your cat went missing, you had a house fire and you broke an ankle at the gym, you would think Kelowna is a dump. It's a flaw in the way humans process information. It might not be a surprise to find out he has a negative association with the city.

Yeah it's a smart business model. But Nate clearly took shots to the head, which is just not a good idea for him anymore. The guy can barely string a sentence together. I'm glad he got paid well though. He's a warrior and deserves a big pay day.

I hope Diaz never fights again. It's sad watching these old battered guys take more damage. His only interesting fight left is a trilogy with Conor. And that might be the only smart option Conor has left too.

Not a chance.

Bless her heart

You don't feel that with enough therapy and support, in the right circumstances, he could get to a healthy place where he looks back on this behaviour and is embarassed by the person he was? And never does anything like this again?

Ah c'mon old fellah, sounds like Mrs Alf has offered you many pathways to redemption over the years.

The guy obviously needs loads of therapy. There's clearly some unresolved trauma in his life if he's using substances like that and saying these disgusting things. I'm worried about the current trend to just discard people and send them to the abyss. If someone is willing to take responsibility and put in the work, we need to leave them a pathway to redemption. It would be way more powerful to see him recover and learn how his actions hurt people. If people in his position can become a model for how to turn your life around and make better choices, that would make a difference to a lot of people. Nobody learns anything if we just ban people forever. Who does it help if we banish him to the KHL and he just keeps being a piece of garbage? I'd like to see him become a model for other struggling young men. Normalize therapy. Normalize asking for help. Normalize self improvement.
