  1. Yeah I don’t get the hate for Johnny. Forestry is super important to BC. Having Johnny is no different than the Oilers using a roughneck, the Steelers using a steelworker, the Senators using a parasite, etc.
  2. I don’t hate it. It’s a silly theme jersey, it’s fine. It’s not like it’s replacing the current home and away. I’m not thrilled about that potentially being grey instead of green, but I’d still take it over the horrible team Germany colours.
  3. Maybe eyes are off, but is that grey instead of green? If so what a colossal waste of a concept. Eschew the colour that combined with blue makes the team look unique in favour of looking like the Laffs/Bolts/Jets.
  4. Maybe. He probably just set his sights on someone else.
  5. Funnily enough, my sister met Benn at a bar in Victoria and she said he bugged her the entire time. Granted he may have meant it in a playful way but didn't seem to understand when it wasn't welcome.
  6. Especially with a name like “Liquids and Solids”
  7. Plenty of people don’t like Benn or Pronger, myself included.
  8. Clocks are known for their precision and accuracy.
  9. Luongo absolutely does not deserve his jersey retired.
  10. Bertuzzi was shipped out of town immediately after. I already addressed Cooke. You have a point with Raffi, but I can’t recall a single person wearing a Torres jersey or saying he should be our next captain.
  11. Cooke is pretty reviled around here these days.
  12. Most people are still upset we didn’t draft him now. And I understand that, he’s a good player. I just think there’s a line between “agitator” and “out there to hurt people”.
  13. Yeah. To this day I’m still glad the Canucks didn’t take him. Is he a better player than Juolevi? Unquestionably. But at the end of the day I watch hockey for escapism and entertainment, and I just can’t bring myself to cheer on a POS like Tkachuk. I also find it hilariously telling how Flames fans feel about him. They bitched and moaned endlessly about how we had “classless divers and whiners” on our team like the Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Bieksa, etc. But as best as I recall, as on the edge some of those guys played, I never saw them deliberately try to injure another player. Meanwhile Cowtown was ready to anoint Tkachuk their next captain, and was perfectly content cheering on other classy stalwarts like Lucic, Kneeordano, Hathaway, and other Lady Byng contenders.
  14. And now Edmonton is paying that same AAV to Jack Campbell.
  15. Interestingly enough Flames fans were making Amharic curses towards Dallas and Edmonton during the playoffs, so this is some weird cosmic voodoo/karma coming back to bite them.
  16. And Calgary’s woes started when Matthew’s daddy wouldn’t throw his hat for his son in the playoffs. That organization is full of clowns and hasn’t known character since Iginla left. You gotta love watching them go into a death spiral. “Flames” is such a fitting nickname.
  17. I wonder which ghostwriter he picked to pen this damage control. Not one very familiar with the NHL if they’re calling Calgary “one of the NHL’s most storied franchises”.
  18. Lots of people try to beat Vintage Canuck. Few succeed. There is no rule against other people trying to post news, but it's a futile effort most of the time. You're allowed to challenge Lebron to a game of 1v1, doesn't mean you're gonna win.
  19. Good player, I don't know about top 10 though. If he did it would be because teams really covet that right shot.
