    So can we assume A V wasn't the problem?

    in Canucks Talk

    no?

    i stand by my statement.

    at the end of vigneault's tenure here there were countless people here saying moronic things like he was an ahl coach at best, he was the reason they didn't win the cup in 2011, he should have been fired with nonis, blah blah blah, and then there were the reasonable, intelligent people saying that it was probably time for him to go, but he wasn't the problem with the team.

    Yeah I'm with you on that it's just I'm a little less smug about it maybe. I mean I consider myself intelligent but I certainly have made poor judgments about players and coaches in the past.

    its impossible for an outsider to know exactly what the problem is, especially since it appears to be largely to do with team chemistry, but it was obvious it wasn't the coach.

    yeah, av needed to go, but he wasn't the problem.

    So maybe stop using such smug statements like "the intelligent people knew". We're all fans...that precludes us from intelligence. ;)

    Are the Playoffs Rigged? (Put on Your Tinfoil Hat, We're Going In...)

    k guys lets get this straightened out the NHL IS NOT RIGGED, but then again it is.

    So what are the canucks called? Canucks Sports and Entertainment

    Ever wondered what Sports and Entertainment meant? Well its not what you think it is.

    Here is the definition for it:

    This will change the way you look at sports forever.

    That's a big reach. It's also not the reason entertainment is in the name.

    BTW If you're never watching sports again because of this you should probably stop supporting the advertising found on the message boards that are driven by numbers of people visiting the site.

    What changes to my story cannot be attributed to a quick response. The story is the same and you have offered absolutely nothing.

    Sure

    Why do you think it your job to defend the League, the owners , and the refs.

    Easy answer. I don't. If anything you're working for the league by making these theories look insane.

    By the way I said you were behaving like a scumbag and you were in douchebag territory. I stand by that.

    Edit:What I wrote here originally was uncalled for and I apologize.

    It's funny but I don't think that the League is rigged. I think they manipulate outcomes for maximum monetary benefit and US growth.

    Sure and that's fine. That's where I sit as well I just don't buy every theory regarding it.

    You say you sit on the fence but your responses clearly put you on the League side. You pretend to be on the fence so you can pretend to be the voice of reason.

    I don't pretend to be the voice of reason and I don't sit on the leagues side of this. I just don't buy what you're selling and that seems to have made you angry enough to call me grandma for a bunch of posts.

    You really are being a scumbag!!! You've repeatedly called me a liar with nothing to back it but your need to defend the refs.

    The story is the same with different words. It happened and no amount of your denial will change that fact.

    Yeah but I only do that because your story changes and came out of nowhere all of a sudden. I mean that's the type of thing I would lay on the table right off the bat. Something stinks. You can call me all the names you want like some little kid losing an argument. In fact you should keep doing it because it really goes to show how strong your arguement is that you have to call me a douche and a scumbag. For a guy who prides himself on being honest you sure don't mind calling people names like you're on a playground.

    You can go away, you can keep responding. I don't care because you've little to offer other than entertainment so far.

    So that's what you key in on. You are always acting like the voice of reason, but always take the League view. Sometimes you come off as a uppity ole granny. It probably would have been a one time thing, but then you accused me of lying. You don't know me but I am very honest and have a thing about lying. I consider myself to be honest to a fault.

    The conversation happened. We were talking about reffing in various small communities. An ex-ref interrupted us and bragged about manipulating games. He did it in an obnoxious manner and was basically goading us. His friends added a few nuggets.

    I get that it is your job to protect the league interest.

    I'm not a liar grandma.

    I've very clearly said I sit on the fence here. I just don't take your view and you seem to have this with us or against us mentality.

    Happened or not, your story keeps changing. I don't even question it when Vansicle says something similar in a response in fact. I absolutely believe when he said it there is truth to it. You're quite clearly telling stories.

    I mean of course it's my job. I'm actually Gary Bettman. Shh don't tell anybody. You're the reason people think the conspiracy side is just full of nut jobs. There's actually some sound theory to it to be honest, some of which I totally buy.

    Ok grandma. let's not.

    When did I say he was my friend. The guy is an arrogant douchebag. He is definately not my friend.

    I don't want to hear from you because you have nothing real to offer. All you have is liar liar pants on fire.

    I will continue to reiterate that the conversation did take place. You can desperately call me a liar all you want. I will simply re-state the fact.

    Seriously no explanation for the grandma thing? Just randomly generated to incite rage?

    And then you accuse me of having nothing to offer?!?

    Also your story keeps changing. Is it one guy you can't stand or a group of people. I mean now you're saying one guy but in the beginning you said that you know refs (plural) and that they (as in more than one) are telling you these things. I mean...really.

    You are now officially in douchebag territory grandma.

    The reason I asked if you reffed is because I would like to hear from a ref or ex ref on this subject.

    If you think about it, it makes sense. Most refs start young when they can't play hockey but still want to be involved in the game. They usually ref younger children from their local team. The parents screaming at them and threatening them are people they have to deal with on a regular basis. They start out with a bias. they move up to better leagues, but still ref local teams. The first few years most refs ref with a bias for the local teams. It's not hard to imagine that they would continue manipulating games or that they learn how early. That they magically become honest and beyond reproach is harder to believe..

    The conversation did take place, whether you like it or not.

    Refs or ex-refs please respond.

    Lets try not to lower ourselves to personal attacks.

    Also as a therapist you should probably talk to somebody regarding your paragraph there. You also might want to talk to them about your imaginary ex-ref friend.

    You also won't find any real refs here; but you know that. If you're looking for refs from kids leagues you may find some. I used to ref high school football for real. But I doubt you want to hear from me right?

    Yes I did. Very astute of you.

    You just called me a liar. Pretty slimy tactics grandma!

    The conversation did take place just like I said it did. This guy interrupted our conversation about crappy officiating to rub in different ways in which he manipulated games. His buddies threw a couple more in. I don't give a flying crap if you believe me or not.

    Once again, is there any actual refs or ex-refs who would care to comment? Did you ref grandma?

    Did I claim to ref?

    C'mon rwm. It never happened. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Might as well be claiming to be an insider in the proposals section. It's not slimey tactics; it's not a tactic at all actually. You're just full of crap.

    Out of curiousity where did the grandma thing come from? Are you 13 with a grandma fetish?

    Actually wait yes yes I did ref. Sorry I forgot to mention it until now but it's totes true I promise. I was totes an NHL ref. Yup, I'm just now bringing it up, I know I could have brought it up before and saved all this time but you know. Anyways...yeah.

    Sure I'll elaborate.

    The nhl playoffs are by far the most interesting two months in sports. Even US markets get excited. It's an epic event that defines the sport. 16 wins to the most difficult trophy in sports.

    And you come along and sh*t on it and wonder why someone lashes out at you. People like yourself that find fun things in life and try to change them make me livid. If YOU are the one person who likes hockey and not a game like tonight's gm7 ... That's fine with me, but guess what, it needs to be fine with you that the rest of our country and other hockey fans think it's awesome.

    What the blue hell hell are you talking about?
