  1. Why would PED's matter? It's not like he's allowed to use them now or something. Unless you're saying once a drug user always a drug user, which I don't agree with, especially this kind. I would think there is pretty high incentive to not put your million dollar job on the line after that. Also, apparently lot's of players use them, however it doesn't mean Schmidt used them after getting caught. Or, maybe you just refuse to want a player that's made a mistake in his life on your team. I guess he could possibly die and then we'd lose an asset. Just spit-balling here and curious for an answer because I'd be willing to overlook any of those things if the Canucks suddenly had a balling right defence. I do agree attitude wise, we don't need dirtballs in the locker room ... or do we?
  2. Then you realize if you leave early you don't have to clean up the mess.
  3. We could but made a smart decision and moved on. You can't just keep every player because you like them and they're nice guys. We should definitely be able to upgrade in this marketplace. I for one am glad we've moved on from Tanev and Stecher as we can attempt to move forward. Not guaranteeing we will improve but sitting pat with that crappy d was not the way to go in my opinion.
  4. I'll pay $1000 bucks to buyout squamfan if he never returns to this site.
  5. Could a defenceman just face the wrong way all game so we can play a LD on RD?
  6. He's so quick, calm, and cool with the puck he could do it cleanly most times, where as probably 90% of others would have trouble.
  7. Couldn't have said it better myself. Tanev does a lot of good things and is sneakily good. You can give whatever metrics you want though, it was hard watching him constantly give up shots against and turn it over in a variety of ways in our own end the last 10 games of the playoffs.
  8. I really hate how Tampa got good. They were a top team, then nosedived for a year, grabbed Stamkos and then back to the top.
  9. To be honest my life would hugely benefit from a shutdown but yet I keep working, surgery after surgery. I don't need to make money off people. I work (actually work ... like lift stuff) for a living. It's the soft sale people who are starving because no one has bonus bucks to waste on their non-important skills and super important lifestyles (making yourself rich and pretty). yet they cry a river, because they can't be useless anymore. Grow up and plant some soil or build a roof. Otherwise, don't have sex (yet those are people who exactly have sex because they've got time to waste and they don't understand how hard life is) destroying the fabric of life (whilist creating it) because they can't think or work for themselves. Frankly, without Covid I would have loved this shift in societal norms. This is the approach I've wanted from society for a long time. Is there any sense that this virus created itself in humans in order for us to know what is coming and protect the flock by killing within? I think our own bodies allowed and created the virus so we can beat it.
  10. Why don't we just suck it up and be healthy? Let the stupid and the old die and live better in the future? Let it a be a lesson. I'm fine with dying if I'm not the fittest, I'm also fine dying or struggling if I'm not the whitest, blackist, or richest. Oh, Forgot we're all greedy. Might as well get what you can before the whole $&!#house goes up in flames.
  11. As a fan I struggled with the correctness of a Cup being legit. I reconciled and then agreed, so I think these guys will legit earn it in an ear of unprecedented precedence. Beautiful that Stamkos gets on it as he's a huge part of any team (they didn't need it), although I'm sure he would have liked to earn it himself. There you go brutal media writers, feast on that, look in the mirror, see Jack Nicholson, and feel shame.
  12. Yeah, that's guys like EP40. Doesn't do any research or have his own thoughts, he just regurgitates crap to fuel his hate felt thoughts he was taught to feel on the internet. I would have liked to play hardball last season as well technically, but technically it didn't matter cap wise. Also, we weren't that good yet so these hard decisions did not have to be made then. We look a lot better now killing Loui's contract then we did as a fledging team of malcontents, which we were the year before. But I concur. Oh yeah, and Alf is wrong 98 times out of 100. That's because old people don't give a f$$$ and they just like to get a rise out of people. They basically just come up with outlandish stuff because they can't be bothered to follow the new wave of thinking and hate not being able to keep up. That guy has said so many things he's right, wrong, in-between, out on a limb, in the embers, and just plain ornery. But a good guy. I kind of miss him.
  13. Whoever created that tweet is a goof. I've got half of a footlong cold cut combo I'm willing to sell you for $3. It's slightly old but it will fill your stomach. I'll give you my email address if you want to send the transfer. You're dumb if you don't. I mean, it's no good to me but you'll be happy with a cheap sub and it will save us each some money in the long run. Does that tweet actually say someone would take Loui for zero elements and no assets for half retention or is this just for use as Benning hate fodder? I think what the sad people have to realize is they're just latching on to another tidbit to hate on. If Tampa Bay offers Foote for Loui with half retention Jimbo is jumping all over it. They just can't take the blinders off to discern fiction from reality. What he is really saying is that we're not overpaying with assets in way shape or form at all just to get ride of his contract. So don't think you're getting Boeser, Demko, Virtanen, or basically anyone on our current roster to take Loui. We'll just suck it up and pay the price of money instead of weakening our team for some short term gain, like a child would do.
  14. jezus h cripes, this is the BC politics/BCTF/KOS rant thread now?
  15. Yeah, but apparently that's not a problem whatsoever for them. It seems like wishful thinking. Curious though, when was the last time a team actually took on a contract to reach the floor ... never? Edit: I could be totally wrong on this but my memory seems to think that this came about slightly after the cap system was created and some teams (Florida/expansion) started basically signing rosters of minimum salaries in order to burn a year, have low overhead, and get prime draft picks. As the cap ceiling and salaries grew, the floor didn't grow with it ... making it a moot point. It's pretty hard to field a team with one or two good players on it and not reach the floor.
  16. Instead of paying some goof $5 mil over two years, one could easily just pay $1-2 mil for one year, without giving up assets, Pretty simple. Okay too many posts in a row for me on this topic. Haha. It would be nice but don't see any reasonable way that makes sense for them.
