    Not sure about that, Bouchard seems to be made of something different. Besides, she has an entire country to be nervous for her

    Nevertheless, first set to Bouchard!
  3. Oh gosh, Benning couldn't solve all the Canucks' problems in one week. Whatever will we do?

      Naw, we'll only do that once Benning solves all our problems

      CDC shows a sample of why our fans are the worst :(. Bunch of ignorant crybabies

      ^ Ryan Miller called it... being "passionate" in his presser. :)

  4. I like the: "I bet it's for Yandle...that Stevie Y he's a great GM" to "For picks? Man, that Stevie Y is awesome. Trading Gagner for a 1st rounder" to "For a 6th round pick? Cap dump I guess. Shrewd move by Stevie Y" then finally "For a 6th round pick AND he retains salary? Stevie Y got powned"
  5. Now there is a team that's tanking. How will they get to the salary floor? They'd be about 20 million away from it if they buy out Ehrhoff.
  6. Benning seems like a "actions speak louder than words" kinda guy. At least I'm hoping so.
  7. Heard about it on the Dark Vancouver forum when it was still going. Their album, Possessed, was mainly Kraftwerk covers. It's pretty cool.
  8. http://youtu.be/MRBPZl-Fmqk Kinda makes me want to form my own string quartet.
  9. You know your son watches too much Finding Nemo when you have "just keep winning, just keep winning, just keep winning, winning, winning" going through your head at the end of the game.
  10. Going to be seeing the Jays in Seattle Aug 11th. Usually catch a Jays game in Seattle every other year or so. Might actually be a meaningful game for once, usually by August they're out of it...
  11. I agree that Gose isn't quite ready, but IF you can turn Rasmus into a reliable innings eating starting pitcher, I'd put up with Gose in the 9th spot. Fortunately, time is on the Jays side, especially if they keep on playing the way they do, they are not going to be pressured into a move. And, who knows, if Stroman proves reliable, they will really be in the captains seat.
  12. I really want to see Gose getting everyday at bats, whether it's here or Buffalo it doesn't matter to me. I just don't see him developing anymore if he's just a part time player. If I was the GM, right now, I'd showcase Rasmus to possibly net a starting pitcher while Gose gets plenty of AB's in Buffalo. Keep Pillar as the spare OF. If a trade isn't there bring Gose back in during the stretch drive.
  13. Wouldn't worry about Redmond too much in the long reliever role. If you're losing sleep over him I guess you can always put Hendricks in the long reliever role and see what Stroman can do in that fifth rotation stop.
  14. My man crush on Casey Janssen is still going strong. The guy is clinical out there.
  15. Ah, Welle:erdball. One of my guilty pleasures. http://youtu.be/hdVa-ms2PSc
  16. Mind.in.a.box always does a great job on their intro tracks. http://youtu.be/tKKSKCAnNnQ The song that got me hooked on Electro/Industrial Music http://youtu.be/Juh3NzuEgdc
  17. 3 men are being chased by the police on foot. One is a Canucks fan, another is a Red Wings fan, the other is a Leafs fan. The men, in desperation, turn a corner only to come up to a dead end. The only possible cover are 3 potato sacks. The police, in hot pursuit, turn the same corner and find the 3 lumpy potato sacks. Thinking they'd been had, a policeman kicks the sack hiding the Canucks fan. "MEOW" "Dang, it's just a couple of cats, oh well" says one policeman, who then kicks the sack hiding the Red Wings fan. "WOOF, WOOF!" "Bah, this one just has dogs." The policeman then gives one last kick to the sack hiding the Leafs fan. "PO-TA-TOES" The Canucks fan, the Red Wings fan, and the Leafs fan were then quickly arrested.
  18. I just don't see their starting rotation getting them into the playoffs. Too many ifs. Can Dickey get back to everyday ace form? Can Morrow stay healthy and productive? Can Hutchinson be a reliable starter the whole season? Same for McGowan (or whoever slots in as the #5 guy this year). Jays need all 4 of those things to happen to have a chance of making the playoffs and I don't see that happening. 2 perhaps but not all 4.
  19. Looks like there won't be a hearing.
  20. Billy and his parents are driving home from the city. They're travelling down a rural road when Billy sees a cow grazing in a field. "Look Mommy a moo moo, a moo moo!" Billy exclaims. "Now Billy, you're 4 years old you can use the grown up word for that, it's a cow." Billy's mom states. Further up the road the car has to stop at railroad crossing. Billy gets excited again and says "Look Mommy! A choo choo! "Billy, you now better. Use your grown up words. That's a train." Billy's mom explains. Upon returning home Billy retired to his room. He was silent for so long Billy's mom had to peek inside only to find him quietly looking at a book. "Billy what book are you reading?" Billy's mom asked. "Winnie the sh!t" Billy replied.
  21. Heading back to Vancouver to check out his knee so he's missing the rest of the road trip. Guess Winnipeg fans were wrong and he didn't dive. Also, I was only half-listening, but did Aaron Ward blame Kesler for the play?
  22. Give me a break with bringing up that rumour. There is ZERO proof that this offer was made to Gillis and Gillis turned it down.
  23. So stoked to watch this game. Couldn't watch the first two due to work, but now I can set and watch the whole thing.
