Regarding PED abuse, there are plenty of alligations from Laraque on various unnamed players. OV was implicated as well, but that was white-washed and brushed aside. But really, you just have to open your eyes to see how players are alluvasudden full of ridiculous energy and, well, rage. The Canucks have been benefactors from PED abuse as well btw. Quite obvious that Todd Bertuzzi's heyday was fueled by PED's. Laraque elluded to that as well by talking about those who don't perform well during Olympic years. 2005-06 was the beginning of Todd's decline, just before he was dumped out of here, and he has been a shadow of his former self ever since. Roids? 90pt tremendous power forward. No roids? 40pt vacant shell. Why? Well, the Canucks at the time desperately needed the WCE to perform at an elite level 30mins a night, or they were probably going to be forced to move down south during the NHL's Canadian dollar crisis. That is a fact - Brian Burke said a phonecall was all it would take, and buh-bye Canucks. No, obviously I am not crying boo-hoo-hoo about the Canucks in particular. We have been part of it at times.

This thread refers to all sorts of rigging, including series that tilted the Canucks' way, so no, this isn't about an emotional investment in the Canucks. Every pro sport is rigged on way or another. To think otherwise is naive. While baseball needed a ridiculous homerun derby to regain it's cashflow, PED's are used by the NHL to boost the performance levels of young teams' players that grow miraculous amounts of weight in a short amount of time and still maintain speed and endurance. Players on cup winning teams have been on HGH, roids, you name it. It's quite obvious. It explains the bizarrely aggressive behavior, the huge dilated pupils at times, the insane levels of energy, and of course the unnatural muscle growth. Those players usually shrink, get less pumped-up, etc. when they are either traded or their team has already won the cup and is on the decline. The 'chosen' teams do it, have done it, get away with it, and will likely continue doing it. The teams i am talking about are important in boosting the NHL's popularity in markets down south and therefore increase cashflow. This is just one part of the rigging that's going on in the NHL.

Pfft... Logistics... It's not all that difficult to imagine, really. A ton of people in baseball, throughout all ranks, knew about it when that rampant PED abuse happened. As for the NHL being rigged or having teams/players being engaged in PED abuse, you turn a blind eye when it helps you out, and those not in the loop just don't need to know.

Lucic says he'll never go to DT Vancouver
TOMapleLaughs replied to TheRussianRocket.'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
That report doesn't tell the whole story though. It just covers the Mean Poutine aftermath of what transpired at the Roxy, where things were said and feelings were hurt. The Roxy is just a few steps away, fyi. Details on what transpired at the Roxy are sketchy, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out what can happen between meatheads on booze at 2, 3 and 4am. 4am? Seriously, Lucic? Know when to pack it in, partyboy. It's not as if the night was worth 'celebrating.' -

I don't get it either. Those other local boys have class. And so does Lucic, but it's looooowwwww. -

That's pretty much what everyone's thoughts are regarding to every off-ice incident involving Lucic and his family, btw. This time Lucic is equally at-fault, but the city is now entirely to blame? Okay, what? Tripe. That's what. -

Seriously though. Is there a link? Anyone? -
Didn't record that, but I could tell after one shift in the game the Canucks were going to lie down. Yeah i agree the theory about Lucic being sent out there to stir it up at 4am is just too much. However, the video made by his so-called friend sure blew up in a big way. Thanks, friend. Lucic tossing out anti-Vancouver quotes just adds to the 'Oh we're Boston, and screw everything else, we're perfect' mantra, even with what happened to Orpik, which is the worst ON ICE incident of the year. Anyone remember that? No. Lucic got shoved by a guy off the ice. Oooooooh.
-
The Bruins sent him out there, imho. They needed some deflection from that, y'know, horrible, horrible loss to the hated Canucks. Now nobody's talking about the game. Pure brilliance. Lucic's friend posted the video. With the blessing of Lucic, who in turn got the thumbs-up from the Bruins, a real 'classy' organization. Might as well have been acted on a stage.

Bacially, you want to troll. Okay then. I wanted a source on this mythical Lucic defending of the city before yesterday though. Not the first time i've heard it mentioned, but i haven't heard or read it from the source. -
The Canucks laid down in the game 7 finals more than any other game in the playoffs, including those blowout losses in Boston, in which the Bruins were on bigtime PED's. Speaking of which, Lucic must've toned his abuse down. 2011 Lucic would've snapped and pummelled that clown on the video, cops or not.

TOMapleLaughs replied to TheRussianRocket.'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Well said. I like it when people who weren't there who are just voicing their own opinions about the event can tell everyone else who wasn't there that they shouldn't voice their own opinions. It just comes across as complete brilliance. Now if the guy followed his own advice at the end we'd be truly better off. -

I don't believe Lucic for a second, btw. He was merely providing a good soundlclip so Boston can feel better about themselves and the team after being smoked. -

TOMapleLaughs replied to TheRussianRocket.'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
If we are indeed that classless in Vancouver, frankly, I am VERY unimpressed in this town in that Lucic left town without even a mark on him. In that light, why is Lucic crying this much about being shoved? Boo-hoo. -

1. What high horse? There's been two hockey riots here. This is a sad, undeniable fact. Even if you don't want to call them Canucks fans or not. 2. Kesler and Burrows are both far more mature than Lucic, obviously. And smart enough to know how to avoid 4am sunday morning tustles. 3. Lol. Threatened physical harm? Oh noes, Mary. Did you swing your purse around to fend them off? Frankly, i don't even believe you. As mentioned in posts prior, several teams' fanbases have actually carried on through with the physical harm. Like Boston Bruins fans for example attacking a woman TO fan. So no, Vancouver is not a singularity in this regard. 4. Nobody's defending those actions taken on the church. So bringing it up over and over again is pointless. 'Canucks fans' didn't do it. Hooligans did. Know the difference. 5. Lucic hasn't defended this city after 2011. If he has, can a link be provided? Honestly, I'm curious. 6. I find these troll posts to be ignorant and repetitive, and are dodging what actually took place on Saturday, which was an arrogant drunk dude and another arrogant drunk dude getting into a spat at 4am on a sunday morning. Ho-freakin'-hum. But Lucic, if he had shown enough class and maturity, shouldn't have even been there. Why am i bothering? Don't care what a Flames troll thinks anyhow. -
