  1. “In all of us command” That’s ‘true Patriot love’. Being a patriot means defending ’us’. Defending means with bullets and guns and it means defending all of ‘us’ with tolerance. We defend ‘our’ right to be ourselves, gender, age, and sexual orientation. Sexual orientation just means loving who you want to. I love women. Others love men. Other women love women(my favourite), and other men love men. It’s just how ‘we’ are as a country. We love who we love. We want people to be free to love who the kind of people that people want to be with. Not supporting that is an affront to ‘us’ having a collective agreement as a society to be a loving society. Either we are a loving society or we’re a hateful society, by our actions or inactions. Immigrants need to know and respect the society they choose to be a part of. Orherwise, STFU or GTFO.
  2. Hey bud, always a pleasure. I get what you’re feeling. It’s a legal play because it’s considered a pass. The goalie is a legal player on the ice. Passes to and from the goalie is part of the game. If you got rid of passing by a forward/dman to the goalie then you’d have open up the can of worms of letting a goalie pass to another player. It’s a non-starter. There’s always things that can be improved to keep the flow of the game going, but passing between players on the ice shouldn’t be part of speeding up the game. Hope it makes sense. Cheers bud.
  3. It’s a legal pass and play bud. It stopped the play and allows for line changes. It’s a smart play. It’s what champs do.
  4. Arthur tried to expand the market. He failed. He was actually ahead of his time. He should have hired a more modern staff but he was an owner that kept things in the family and was accountable to his fanbase. He made bad business decisions, no doubt, but he never made bad decisions based on things that disrespected his base, namely the fanbase. He was true to ‘us’ even during the tumultuous times of the 90’s and beyond. Frank was the stalwart, Arthur was the visionary. Arthur was also a realist that was trying to keep a family empire from going into decline by expanding. That’s admirable because he and his family were locals. I’ll never begrudge him or his family in trying to stay as owners of the Nucks or expanding Sports in this area. Aquilini is the polar opposite. He doesn’t care about this market, it’s people, he cares about staying rich, expanding his empire on the backs of everyone else. He’ll pump and dump this team like a stock as long as he has property rights and expands his real estate holdings by buying up all the land he can around Rogers for his profit and benefit. That’s ‘our’ team’s current owner.
  5. We are occupants on board the ship of the damned. We sail together. We sink together. We tank together and then Bedard together.
  6. The definition of being a ‘supporter’. Damn young’ins will have no idea what I’m referencing, but screw it.
  7. Not all Muslims bud. I think I get your overall point, but you poorly stated it. Also, this is the wrong thread for that. And remember, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Atheists and others love this team and are entitled to love and be respected for our collective love and critique of this team. Let us Canucks supporters always remember that our hate should never be directed at each other…it should be directed at the owner.
  8. You give your heart from the day you were 3, and then just quit it decades later? No bud. We wait for change and voice that change. Until it’s heard. Until ‘we’ are listened to.
  9. Especially with his siblings. He’s like a mafia Don that’s elbowing out his family to be the Head of The Family. I wish more fans knew more about him and his dealings in business and his family. You’re totally right. Tyrant is the appropriate definition.
  10. I think the biggest overarching issues are Aquilini and Rutherford. They’re out of touch.
  11. Edit- It was shown. I don’t think it changes the trajectory of his tenure here though. I hope he stays. Love the coach.
  12. He’s probably not stupid, just doesn’t care about you or others. Just what he/she can make out of it for themselves or their next venture. This is our world.
  13. The Griffith Family were owners who took pride in this team and cared. They were bought out because they couldn’t compete with the modern day billionaires. What a sad state of being a fan of a major sports team nowadays. We give and give and they take and take.
  14. He was always and will always be a greedy narcissist who doesn’t care about the pride in what he owns, just the pride in how much money he can make off of it. The rest be damned. That’s how billionaires become billionaires. Don’t ever forget that.
  15. Poor Bruce. That’s the day of unwarranted execution. One of my fave coaches, who never got the team he needed to win. The Defence let him down and bad luck with Demmer going down sunk him.
  16. Yes. Absolutely. The media here are mostly spectators and tow the line which gains them access. Then there are others that call ‘outs and strikes’. We may not agree with those ones all the time but they are there when we need an objective kick in our fandom assess.
  17. BH and Demmer are also pieces to build around with those players you mentioned. The team has some solid pieces that can win. It’s the crap retooling that’s killing the team.
