  1. Game on Blaze ... Enjoy the off season amigo. See you next season
  2. While I actually agree that folks, who put their point of view out are likely more invested than others, even though they may see it differently, I only need to see the post after yours to shake my head.... I’d say it goes both ways...
  3. What a wonderful post to wake up to @Dazzle . Couldn’t agree more if I tried... thank you. Whether we have agreed or disagreed with the owners, Bennings or Greens decisions I have heard nothing over the last few days, that suggests any of the ‘reported’ rumblings of discontent were true... On the contrary they all seem to be fine together. Would they expect better? Absolutely sure they did, but after a season like no other, I definitely feel that management deserves a second chance. I do have a feeling that the management team as a whole may be on a shorter lead, but glad the owners didn’t do a knee jerk reaction after all the garbage this season threw at them. I’m sure, we will see a far better and more competitive team next season... Onwards and upwards for ALL in Canucks nation.
  4. He doesn't say they don't wanna try and sign him... but if he wants to move along, he moves along. Let's see what the future holds for him. If he signs in Edmonton its not a particularly good sign, but regardless there could be a 1000 reasons for him to move on to the next chapter of his life... It's hopefully not going to be a re run of the Brackett saga....
  5. Think world peace would be reached beforehand.... But unfortunately you are bang on point again SID... while negative press may better than no press at all, a lot of it will often get owners to react.
  6. Demko showing Benning made the right call keeping him as our no.1, Hoglanders impressive start to his Canucks career, Seeing all the home drafted players starting to get their chances... Rathbone in particular was encouraging... The way the players responded after the Covid bout was also impressive.
  7. Very true... I think the key to it all has been Pep. Nothing short of astonishing what he has achieved. First at Barca, then Bayern and now City.... Utd tried to hire a winner in both Van Gaal and then Mourinho, but it did not materialize... Can I just say that the demonstrations at Utd has taken off because the owners tried to fundamentally change the culture of football, as we know it in Europe. The entitlement and greed shown, has been nothing short of disgusting.
  8. It does suck... The big issue though will be when they find a way to bring the games to the big markets n the far east. I could easily see parts of the season being played im China, Singapore, Australia or the likes... as you say, its a brand. The ‘noisy’ neighbours are the best team in Europe right now, and maybe has been the last few years... Utd have come up short in resent years, but with a few new players and some luck, we will challange for the title again in a year or two... it’s getting better, but still a bit to go...
  9. Used to be season ticket holder at O.T. So yes I’ve followed it closely. it is a totally different issue. The owners at Utd are filling their pockets and fans were never happy about that. However what really got to the fans, were the self entitlement of the owners, who thought they would pocket everything and turn football in Europe into an elite group like NHL, NBA etc... I can understand Italian and Spanish clubs trying, as they are starting to struggle financially, but Utd with wealth they generate as well as Liverpool, City and Chelsea should never be associated with this kind of garbage. Spurs and Arsenal are just trying to het a seat at the table as well... all greed.
  10. Congrats to @FijianCanuck the greatest... and once again thanks to @goalie13for a cracking job.
  11. Cheers.... luckily they all seem to have come through it all unscathed.
  12. Demko being a proper no 1 as well as Hoglander showing he belongs... next season hopefully Podz showing his stuff as well. And the fact the team didn’t run in to a series of injuries during this crazy schedule.
  13. Canucks win.... Team suck, can't tank properly... Canucks lose.... Team not playing for management... What a joke...
  14. There isn't any... there is a shyt load of folks adding 2 + 2 = 7... All the paper hacks and twitter folks word suddenly becomes the reality, although there is no foundation... Just speculation and shyt stirring... Pathetic really...
  15. Maybe so... but you don't make a gazillion dollars, if you've got a half wit as your manager... That much I do know. With regards to Gillis, I'll say that he was ahead of his time in many way, and he could have been held in high esteem by most fans, had he sorted out the scouting department. But he didn't...
  16. And you don't think Aquilini knows that?....I'm quite sure they know how to run a business...
  17. Would be hilarious if it was.... Get LE out of here.... LE didn't even stay back.... great stuff
