GMJB out GMed again. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Every city craps all over others. I was in Calgary last week and people there were running down Vancouver. It’s not unique to here, but whenever it gets brought up, even in a playful way like in this thread about our rivals, somebody inevitably complains about “ELiTiSm” -
[Report] Nashville Predators apparently being sold

[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't know if the Canucks will be able to land him after the Oilers took him to the prairie equivalent of Earls. Talk about pulling all the stops. -
[Rumour] Pearson and Dickson Being Shopped
McBackup replied to Drive-By Body Pierce's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I still have hope for Dickinson. He can be a good player going forward. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Yeah but so does every UFA. I understand we’re in the slow news cycle part of the year, and the Canucks being on the “shortlist” (whatever that ultimately means) for a KHL standout is intriguing. But ultimately this thread boils down to nothing more than “I hope he comes here”. There is little to really discuss here. A KHL star on a cheap contract would be a great addition, but that can only mean so much. -
[Rumour] Canucks interested in Andrei Kuzmenko
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Seeing as nothing has come of this yet, I’m just going to be an ass and chime in to say how dumb these threads are. The Canucks should be “interested” in everybody, (provided they aren’t a scumbag), the question is the cost. -
[Rumour] Pastrnak Not Happy - May not re-sign with Bruins
McBackup replied to NucknAsia's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Pasta is a great player, one of the few Bruins I like, but I would not pay the price it would take to get him. -
[Report] Evander Kane suspended 1 game
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Probably the right call. Kane done for the playoffs, but at the same time Kadri isn't getting any sympathy from me. -

Do these discussions ever go anywhere? It's just the same dumb talking points from fans of every jersey, going in circles and never ending.

Love it. He fits his nickname even more now.

Well, that wasn't a great idea. I'm a native, fluent English speaker who hasn't read those books and I had a hard time understanding what was going on too with all the unexplained nonsense words. I had to google a bunch of them after the movie.

[Report] Golden Knights fire head coach Pete DeBoer
McBackup replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
It would be so funny if they fired DeBoer expecting to get Trotz and he just said “Yeah no thanks, I see how this operation is run” and just left them there bewildered that their actions have consequences. -
All I hope for is a long, brutal, series where the winner is so devastated by the end of it that they get swept by Colorado. Edmonton has a bunch of unlikable players, and is Edmonton. Calgary has a bunch of unlikable players and is Calgary. I don't care that they have a bunch of former Canucks. I don't wish them any ill will as people, but as hockey players they chose to go to the Flames so they're dead to me and I wish them nothing but failure now. Its weird to be excited for a series where you despise both teams.
