[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Toronto Maple Leaves | April 18 | SNP
PistolPete13 replied to -SN-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Throwing a little shade JB’s way. I’d expect nothing less from you. . -
Lol. Laffs just throwing draft picks at the wall and hoping that something sticks. The chemistry in that dressing room must be off the charts right now. And a huge vote of confidence for their excellent defence. No changes necessary because Laffs are going to outscore their mistakes. We’ll see how that goes when the zebras put away their whistles.

Yah. To the chagrin of all, dimjim only gets plugs like JT Miller for first round picks.

[Signing] Canucks re-sign Tanner Pearson
PistolPete13 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Point is, maybe these guys might know a bit more than us arm chair quarterbacks. Chiarelli was decent in Ottawa and Boston but he failed in Edmonton. He too, has one more Ring on his finger than I do. Chiarelli played hockey at Harvard and graduated from University of Ottawa law school. He the became a player agent before joining the Senators. I don’t think that makes him a failure in life, but I guess you don’t see it that way. He’d be a interesting guy to have a beer with and talk hockey. There’s more that goes on than meets the eye. It’s fun coming here to hear what others think. I have no illusions that, from our distant vantage point, we will have all the answers. Fwiw, I think that Benning overpaid Pearson, but in the big scheme of things, I don’t think that it’s going to make our break the team’s future. -

Dim Jim has one Stanley Cup to his name. I have to laugh when CDC gives him advice on what it takes to win a Stanley Cup . -

That’s hilarious. Talking heads speculate that Canucks poor start was because the players are upset because of player departures. Players respond to questioning by saying that yes we miss those players, but we will figure it out. This all adds up to Canucks are livid? I was right here on planet earth during January and February. I obviously don’t connect the dots the same way as you do. My buy in rate on media created hysteria is somewhere in the 1 or 2 out of ten range. The media is starving to be relevant, so they force feed you fables, that you should take with a grain of salt. Attributing the Canucks poor start to a hangover from playoff success, or because they are playing in a division against teams that we had a losing record against (last year), is boring and it doesn’t sell papers. So let’s stir up some sh$t, and make some money. -

The players were livid..,.. You know this how? Do you just pull ideas out of your a$$ and then build your narrative around those ideas? Or is there some actual substance here? Which players were livid? Are they still livid? Is it affecting their play? Do they plan to leave the team because of it? -

[trade] Palmieri and Zajac to Islanders
PistolPete13 replied to qwijibo's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
They are the last two guys from the 2012 SCF team. Zajac is 35 and Palmier, Sutter and Pearson are all 30 or 31. At this age, they are all fairly close to equal. A first round pick, even if it is late in the round is a pretty good return for aging vets.
