  1. well when myers gets traded and anyone near a big tougher player, next season it will probably be 8-9 to 1
  2. ok so what did you miss starting in 2013? or were you a fan back then?
  3. before that, the years of wanting to basically buy a cup built on FA's and picks thrown away, instead of it working away to more development system enteries instead of FA's as much. The end is a good team with no depth if your go that route... getting bounced out first round and seeing how bad that way of thinking didn't work and just showed the flaw of not having enough depth was glaring especially our luck with injuries. Back to it, sell sell sell as they say... back to exciting seasonal hockey.. maybe a first round appearance here and there. (just to tease and disappoint)
  4. It's not like I don't like Stan but can we have a proven GM who is able to see the value of good sized,tough, skilled, fast players to compliment and deter abuse of the core. JB tried that but not much available at the time but it doesn't matter what GM you have, if you can't have a balanced roster with toughness to get through the playoff's.. no cup.. don't expect it here any time soon, we like skilled fast and soft, and fan base opinion wins here so...
  5. well just wait until a big name/s comes available and we'll trade our first's, second's for the next 10 years to do and then wonder why we have no depth (as it's always been) WIN IT NOW!!! build??? wtf? NO! no fn way! NOW! It's getting old and people wonder why we don't have a cup.. geeez..
  6. That's just a bitttttt different than playing with the big boys, and playing with a deck that's already stacked against him.. knowing the details is like knowledge with wisdom, in this case cup experience, or being a part of a team that's built a team through development and the odd FA instead of trading the picks away for too many FA's when the fan base wants it NOW! Like any of this has changed since 1974.. no not until JB.. so that's over with.. don't mess with the status quo.. order of the day in Vancouver.
  7. doesn't matter, we're f'd. No one in Vancouver except for a few compared the many that just want a cup once and will never actually build a team with depth to contend every year, hasn't happened in 42 years and it probably won't ever, yeah in the next decade we might win a cup but highly doubtful, definately not a contender year in and year out, fans would never go for that. want it all and want it NOW.. screw the future. This isn't going to change. We'll start doing the same old chit to keep fans happy with a great seasonal team that gets bounced 1st round, nothing new. Even the 2 times we got to the big dance we lost because of injuries with no one good enough to easily step in for the injured roster players and it's simply going to happen all over again..
  8. Walker never backed down from anyone as far as I remember as well..
  9. from when JB took over... your saying he had no locked in long term contracts??
  10. yeah but he's inexperienced and going to be eaten for breakfast.. sadly.. Like I said, going to be a sharkfest..
  11. and a dumpster fire is way tamer than I'd have put it.. that's being generous!! lmao! Sadly this isn't going to change until the win it all NOW and screw the future way of thinking is gone but that's never going to happen..
  12. not what I meant... been watching since 74.. can't remember who nicknamed him that but I feel sorry for any GM stepping into the office and they will surely regret it..
  13. How many players with long term contracts were on that team that couldn't be traded? That team after getting beat up and broken by the Bruins was a shi_t show... broken and no depth at all.. one of the mistakes JB originally made was taking the job in the first place under those circumstances. plus most of the Vancouver fan base are pathetic and the laughing stock of the entire NHL, then the riot proved it even further...
  14. we were doomed long before JB showed up.. why do you think we don't have a cup or have one before JB showed up? doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, sell the farm and have 2 one trick ponies for 2 tries of win it all now, Gillis was the last one who tried that.. JB was the only one who didn't try that but I guess we're back to that again. At this rate of "win it all now and screw the future" will assure Lord Stanley never comes for a visit. fun stuff..
  15. well you're last statement has been going on for years... world war 1 and 2, and a lot more besides that. Yeah humans aren't nearly as smart as we seem to think we are...
  16. true but the rest of Canada's dealings are corrupt and have been for some time now but we pretty it up so it doesn't look quite as bad to as other countries. The native death cover-ups are just one lil bit on the tip of the mountain. Heck when I grew up the RCMP used to take drunks and drive them out of town and make them walk back in or freeze to death and freezing to death was common, I was shocked to hear that it went on for years until people started to catch wind of it. I was told that the RCMP would never do such a thing... yeah right..
  17. This surprises you? It shouldn't humanity has dropped a lot of levels over the last 10-20 years
  18. and it's about to get a lot worse... you think we're screwed now? you haven't seen anything yet! We're screwed beyond belief and it was like that before JB ever came along.
