  1. The rule of law and equitable jurisprudence is the foundation of a just and free society. If we resort to vigilante justice and rule by the law of the jungle, then it's inevitable that the weak and defenseless become the prey of those who wield the most power. In trying to maintain and uphold justice, you destroy it. Such ideas inevitably produce totalitarian societies. No matter the crime, If you want a society which produces justice for the weak and defenseless, you want one that has a strong judicial process where both the victim and the perpetrator are bound to the same standards under law.
  2. I guess the "Evergreen" Captain missed the memo: U-TURNS NOT ALLOWED!
  3. It's may be a fool's hope, but what we need to pull off a successful run to the playoffs is a talented group of guys who can actually play with some form of consistent grit and urgency. Unfortunately, digging yourself into a hole with extremely inconsistent play and relying on those higher in the standings to falter and/or play spoiler isn't a recipe for such success. At this point, the only positive thing we can salvage from the season is Demko's play and perhaps another very high 1st round draft pick.
  4. That's what happens when you don't take the body and finish your checks..... PUT SOME WOOD IN THIS TEETH, LET'EM KNOW YOUR THERE!!!!
  5. Bad period???? Doesn't quite describe the nature of this season-long train wreck.... Don't you mean.... wretched, pitiable, lousy, terrible, awful, rotten, feeble, atrocious, useless, appalling, dismal and just plain excremental?
  6. Tend to agree with you, with few exceptions, JB's mantra of "build from the draft" or "build from within" seems to be short-circuiting. That being said however, a lot of the blame for the current condition the team falls directly at the feet of ownership. Over the last 8 yrs, I've not seen or heard any fire-in-the-belly determination from ownership to quickly ice a legitimate, competitive, winning team. They seem to be content on waiting a decade or two in hopes of hitting the jackpot and having a one-hit Carolina moment. In many ways it's not unlike the Maple Leafs ownership during the Harold Ballard years.
  7. To get us through the rebuild??? The way he's got the team playing, I wouldn't be surprised if his position as coach turns into a lifetime appointment!
  8. The way the Canucks have been playing so far this year, perhaps JB could've offered him a further step down....
  9. Yet, how many politicians are flying around the world visiting their vacation hot spots then asking for forgiveness for their "lapse of judgement" when they get caught? How many of them are fined? Living free by the ol' elite adage, rules for thee but not for me!
