I just got the word. I will be there tonight. Listen for it, the Rog will have at least 2 rabid fans with their volume on 11.

Hey Mike Gillis....

He should have traded Raymond and Ballard for Shea Weber when he had the chance. Now he needs to trade Booth for Brendan Gallagher or I will fire him.

Schroeder must really need some work to be sent down for conditioning when we are this short on Centers.

At least mentioned somewhere other than our message board.

I have been scouring for a link to it today. I'm fairly sure that is what injured him. I saw it, so did the other people at my work. He also slashed Tanev earlier in the game behind the net, he was clearly frustrated.

I'm not sure "well into their decline" is accurate. Definitely they are in a decline, but not well into it. It can still be turned around, perhaps not this season, but it is possible.

Higgins-Kesler-Kassian Daniel-Richardson-Burrows Booth-Dalpe-Hansen Sestito-Lain-Weise Bieksa alternates in for big faceoffs.

I am so happy with Torts. The NHL now know we are a tough team. They can start calling our games like they do for other tough teams like LA and Philly. There is no grey area, we have tough players who will stand up for each other, and we have a tough coach will back it up himself. Bravo. Take the suspension like the Boss you are Torts, you have quality people around you to pick up the slack. I've been waiting for 20 years for a team with this attitude.

But on the bright side, we can play the worst hockey we've seen all year and still be better than 2 of the teams in our division. 3 in our Conference.

If he got 5 and a game I would have been happier.

Unskilled? I don't agree, we have plenty of skill, it's chemistry we are sorely lacking right now.

Florida is apparently being given authority to spend to the cap and they are clearing a lot of space. Our historical trading partner will have lots of space for GMMG to work with. I also have two more words...Bo Horvat.

Martin Hanzal....what a knob.

If all us armchair GM's collectively yell for GMMG to trade our future and overpay for an unavailable rental player, maybe he will listen.

Dan Quinn?

Come on Tom, he's 15 points over the 4th and 5th spot point getters, in 45 games. He's 19 points ahead of 10th place. That is approaching domination if not already there.

I still don't like the Kunitz pick but I guess his bumbuddy needs him and he can play with Getzlaf and Perry as well. Perhaps because I hate the concept of failing to win, like the Pens routinely do (and the Oilers have also done), I am harder on Kunitz than others. Or maybe it's because I truly believe he is a "decent" player at best without Cindy. I will trust in Stevie Y.

Can I get you a tissue?

Tongue in cheek... They aren't really comparable.

Who? Shawd Thortuzzi?

How do you(edit) not understand that you are badly generalizing. Which Vancouver fans are saying other teams fans are classless? Not me, not my friends, coworkers or family. There are classless people everywhere. Go tell one of the 17,500 Sixty plus year old fans that are privileged enough to actually afford and attend games that they are classless. You are targeting the fan base when in reality it is a small demographic. Don't apply the vocal minority opinion to the uncaring majority. You are right about one thing, anyone can be a fan, even total Aholes, and they define themselves, not the fanbase.

What I don't fully grasp is why people are falling so hard for it. It's fairly obvious to me that it wouldn't have happened at all if he wasn't on the Boston team that beat us in the finals. The Used Enema Nozzle that picked the fight with Lucic was going to pick a fight with someone, conveniently Milan Lucic was there, and luckily for him Lucic didn't beat him senseless. At the very least Lucic has just ensured the rivalry is here to stay. I dare say everyone I know would be more interested in buying him a beer and hearing stories than punching him the head. So who's more "Vancouver".

Need a tissue? I am from Calgary and I have had an entire beer poured on me for cheering a Canucks goal. There are bad fans and bad people everywhere....Vancouver is no different.

Not you Tom. I am referrign to those who care what anyone thinks of Vancouver because of this "incident". It only matters because people care. Philly and Boston fans don't care if we hate their city. I would wager that there are many Bostonians who would cherish the fact that many Van Fans are this choked. I could scroll up and post some names of those who are using the term "victim" or "embarrassed" but so could you. That's who I'm referring to.
