StenMan.EXE Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think Mess should give the fans that 6 million dollars for all the Grievance he gave the Canucks over the 3 years he was here. Only fair i say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I gotta agree with Jai 604. I don't think I could hate Messier anymore than I do. Well, he proved in Van he is not quite the leader eveyone thought he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have a grievance with Messier for being a complete tool and screwing our team. Can we file a grievance against him? Some consider Messier one of the greatest leaders in hockey, I highly doubt that. The only good thing that came out of cry baby Messier's tender here was he left (quit) our team after 3 years and we didn't hve to deal with him for 5 years. Once a quitter, always a quitter Messier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACIC Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It was an odd case.We were all excited about messier and then he comes in and can't do s*** for are team.What happened to playing your heart out for your team!!We sign him for 5 years at 6 million a year and he acts like a freakin 3 year old and played like he was in junior.One of our best moves ever was dumping that old fart and going on another route.We made him captain before he played a game!He wanted 11 despite it being unnoficialy retired.Wtf was he doing! Now that is my point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SukhKular Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Maybe our organisation wasn't up to the job of getting the best out of him. Did you ever ask yourself that? A guy doesn't come off a record like he had and suddenly turn into a bum. It seems Bure also had trouble with our organisation round about this time. Is this a coincidence? How you can call Messier a quitter amazes me. Apart from the fact you don't get voted the 12th ever best hockey player ever to play in the NHL he has a list of achievements no other Canuck has get near to...............do I taste sour grapes? Leaving aside the contract which is a two way street any reasonable person must suspect that while no player can guarantee to be a success everywhere he goes his history was more reliable than the history of the Canucks under the same period. Not only that but his first season after leaving the Canucks saw him register 67 pts.........not bad for a 40yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I still think a report will come out stating he's actually a paedophile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Still doesn't change the fact that he didn't even bother to try to live up to his contract (whether you agree on the terms of it were fair or not is irrelevant), and that he practically coasted through his tenure here. The fact that he was great everywhere else makes it even worse. While a part of the Vancouver organization he was selfish, greedy, and lazy. So while I can respect the fact he was indeed a very good player, I still hate the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Did nothing on the ice, nothing for the team, nothing in the change room, nothing in the community. Brutal signing. One of the most overrated players in history. He got to play on a stacked EDM and NY team. In the 80's, most team barely had one good defense pair who always played against Gretz. Messier always played the other teams leftover scrubs. NY was ridiculously stacked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 A "well respected player" doesn't hit an injured player while he's on his knees on the ice. Zero respect at that point. And Bodee - when he came here, he acted like a superstar not a team player so his attitude reflected the "I'm too good for the Canucks" that you speak of. And even the best know how to adjust to make those around them better vs simply focusing on themselves. I recall the era well - it was a horrible one as the "team" atmosphere turned into something much different. I compare it to Mats Sundin, who was also a great player but didn't appear to come in and have everyone bow down to him. HATE Messier and perhaps he can get a head transplant with the $ so he doesn't look like a big rotten egg any longer. Bodee - if you simpy refer to Wikipedia then it likely means you weren't on board back then and it isn't evident unless you experienced the dark cloud that was Keenan-Messier here. A great player with an even greater ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 For a start I bet most of you and nearly all of the fan base were wetting themselves at the thought of the guy starting in Vancouver........typical.

combover Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 number 11 should be retired with the name "disgrace" on the back so everyone can remember messier for what he really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
