Wait til you get to Steve Simmons.  Love Burke's honesty,

i think there are two sides of the story. I don't entirely believe Weekes' side of the story - no evidence of damage, but for Crawford to go all out on him says something.

Maybe Weekes didn't want to be in Vancouver.

I think I will check this book out. My favourite Burke story was the time he was driving and doing a radio hit with Dan Russell during the heyday of Sportstalk.  He pulled over to stop a fight on the street. 

So just cut to the chase, & stick a fork in him?!

Better to eat his salary then spread out a buy out over two years

Apparently they had a meeting and are not buying him out just to piss you off.   

watch cdc gm's suggest it.

maybe it will be an endless loop of Torts and Willie.... 

This is why people make fun of our fanbase...

Looks like ownership is figuring that hockey won't be back for a while.

Still could have kept him on until after Jan 1st. 

I heard Donnelly sometimes wore the Fin-suit.

Also heard the next mascot is an Asian Killer Hornet. Exciting!

how many assistants does Benning need?

I can't help but think this is exaggerated drama for traffic/attention.

Give Brackett what he wants. 

I mean I would pick holiday as well but this is fine.

11.  thou shalt NOT whine or snivel about ANY van halen song in any form of its delivery!

i didn't know they got new lighting. I thought it looked different, I figured it was just due to the lack of people there with it being a preseason game.

Maybe the Sabres can trade a few quality light bulbs to the Canucks for a decent goalie. 

Was fortunate enough to be at the game yesterday. It looked like the entire set of arena ice lights were replaced.

The crowd looks darker on TV but it actually felt more or less the same as it did before in person, if not actually a little bit brighter. The ice was definitely lit up brighther than it used to be. Guessing it might be the contrast.

Chicago, Boston, and Washington have all recently implemented similar lighting in their arenas, so I figured it was only a matter of time before the Canucks did the same.

I like the "WOO" 

its a old viking std  watch out its anti biotic resistant 

i don't believe that my viking ancestors had clap. maybe rolo.

The sad part is the loss of Luc Bourdon really set the team back. If he never had the accident not only did we lose a great person, but he left a void in defence that the team never really filled. 

Ballard during his time here was probably the worst I've ever seen an athlete play in any sport ever.  He struggled that badly.  Just an absolute train wreck every time he was on the ice, had zero idea where to be and who to cover.  I've watched the team since the early 90's and he had nothing on Murzyn, Ciccone, or any other defensemen that fans occasionally mock. 

@Tre Mac Murzyn may have been a slow skater, but you always got an honest effort. But Ballard, yikes. 

god heard you

and responded by saying

not this year

Canucks take #1 spot in the Pacific, Flames and Oilers take 2nd and 3rd.

The league needs a Flames and Oilers Playoff series, league is getting soft.

Nah.  I want the Canucks to defeat EACH Albertan team in the post-season.  Better to drink their tears .

Orange pekoe?

Camomile?

I'm on the edge of my seat

Leave it to Squamfan to be the joke of the forum. Sometimes I wonder if his computer is smarter than him.

this has been happening since people were putting graffiti on Roman toilets, its human nature, nothing new to see here. 

@Jimmy McGill

there is a big difference between grafitti and a permanent digital file that can be searched and scrutinized from the comfort of your own home, anonymously.

tell that to Flavius Maximus.

People have always loved their gossip, we just get it delivered differently. 

I don't think this is a Benning decision. I feel like this is an Aquilini decision. Aquilini really has become a dime store owner in a matter of months, hasn't he?!? He's become cheaper than Eugene Melnyk.

Aqua cheap ass will 

Too many big egos in the organization.

@ImConfused no Neely for you then

@Phil_314 Pahk da cah at dah hahvahd yahd

are their contracts similar?

Yeah cause thats fair value and not a disgustingly lopsided trade for us, on both accounts. 

what was he wearing? 

That's why they are called dreams. 

I'm sure Petey will think about people's disappointment all the way home from Capilano Audi 

I mean, they didn't even equate the two. It's an article touching on both Bobby Orr, Elias, and how sometimes people are let down by their athletic heroes. There's a bit more written than I care to rehash, but it's an article touching on recent bits in the hockey world. You know, something that hockey media always does? 

They aren't comparing Orr to Petey or vice versa, they're touching on both subjects and then wrapping it up with discussion of how heroes sometimes let people down at the end. And well, clearly there are people out there who feel let down by one or the other for varying reasons, so touching on such a thing isn't out of left field.

Whether you feel people should be disappointed or not is on you, and whether they feel disappointed or not is their own thing separate of you. Them seeing something differently doesn't make them "dumb", that's simply your perception of them. 

Says the person who can't even write a coherent sentence.

John Gould pretty much has this nailed down.

A minority government is probably the best thing to happen, where all three parties are forced to work with each other. All of BC's interests would be considered right?

Sadly, politicians are politicians. They always vote within party lines and thus, they will never work out with each other.

We're going to waste taxpayer's money when we call another election, that's a certainty. Homelessness still isn't going to be solved. It's just more false promises from everybody.

I minority would probably be best for the province.  However, I think there's a pretty good chance that Comox-Courtney flips to Liberal once the absentee votes are counted.   Pundits seemed to think there may be a lot of absentee voters in that riding due to the military base, and that they would likely favour the liberals.

My riding was closer than I thought....Singh almost snuck in there.  A couple hundred vote difference...wonder it it'll change?

He has permanent brain damage cut him some slack.

So you've only found out about Carcillo's struggles with mental health and brain damage today then?

So he wasn't always just a big meathead but rather had brain issues? 

Load management as per green

We talkin bout PRACTICE?

Pete's off to the club to down some Absolut and party with upwards of 200 young ladies

Pete & I played some speed chess..I lost 20 bucks! *+`#$%!!!

AND NOW HE DELETED THE TWEET WHAT A GOOF

Lol the Twins were there, and Bieksa had a video shout-out. I'm not sure Luo/Kesler would receive a warm welcome just yet. 

Yes, Sekeres is insufferable. 

Maybe JPat told him to delete it, jealous he hadn't thought of it first.

Next week on Dirty Jobs

Did the GDT have a LBI?

is russianrocket gone now lol, thank the admins if he is.

Circling back

That tweet pisses me off. I hope some CDCers with a twitter acct rip him a new one.

#firefrankie

Management and ownership should have enough of an idea as to who should be captain.....cough.....Bo...cough, without having to ask some yahoos off the street. This tweet makes them look indecisive.

The only way in the world this isn't incredibly dumb is if FA knows the answer will be overwhelming "Name a captain soon" and the moment the votes are tallied they name Bo the captain.... .... ... ... 

...nevermind, it's still dumb.

@PhillipBlunt

I don't know about a cream, but if you listen the cure is a painful one.

@goalie13  Don't mention Dan Russell and Pratt in the same sentence without saying...

One *might* be a has been (Russell) but the other is a never was (plagiarism extraordinaire).

6 months...the Pass It To Bullis website crashes and shuts down permanently. 

Alflives

is still available

and he'd work for scotch

(and cats, though we cannot say that on here)

would be a solid fit for the oiler braintrust

i appreciate that chiapet is no longer there

but his ghost may still be lingering

so we might even be able to leverage a 3rd round pick

in return for this hiring

as i'm sure the cdc post count might diminish by 1 or 2 a year from Alflives

given his new preoccupation having to navigate his transportation device

through the edmonton winter snow

Dissolve the organization and start from scratch as an expansion team. They would probably be better than they are now.

Gretzky!
