If people don't want things spoiled for them don't come into a thread about the topic. Obviously if someones goes out of their way to spoil somethings it's different but if your so sensitive that off hand remarks get you going maybe you should police yourself.

I can totally get behind this.

Maybe the key is to actually prop them up rather than blow them up. Gillis did a lot to the bottom 6 but can we really say he did a lot to support the top 6? Perhaps that's the change that's needed. It may not be the change you want but it's a change we haven't seen much of. I can only really think of Roy being brought in. I guess that was probably the initial idea behind getting Booth as well.

While this is fundamentally true it's also about the ammunition they give the media to work with. Obviously not much will change in terms of their style (the medias that is) but I think Gillis gave them a lot to work with. Granted it's only one press conference but it seems to me that the objective is to start steering in the other direction. Going with the grain rather than against it all the time. You have to be able to see the forest for the trees here.

I've always wondered if the team has the ability to ban certain members of the media from being close to the team in any way.

It was one comment; not everybody.

DId he say close to a cup or close to contending. I didn't hear the interview but this is different than what I was told that he had said.

Erm...who quoted who first and then called it a shot from the sidelines? Just stop TML. You're not as good at this as you think you are. Last words all yours. Make sure to comment about how you're ignoring me again.

I'm not sure if a lot of people are forgetting this fact or just ignoring it. I guess option C would be that they don't understand what it means.

That's nice. Can you please start to demonstrate that you're ignoring me completely? I believe I made it clear that it was my chicken.

It's as if some people think they're just going to hire a guy off the street that has no clue. Even if they don't have a guy in place at the draft there's still a team of people working on the draft for the canucks.

No worries, I always consider the source.

Once I devour this deep fried chicken I'm going to think of something clever to say.

I know right. It's like trying to take someone seriously when they end a statement with a fat joke. wait.

We disagree on most everything to do with the team but I've never thought that what you said was anything but a different opinion. Until now. This is just stupid.
