Bodee Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm going to make this short and simple - those plays that Raymond and Schroeder made against the Blues will NEVER work in the playoffs. Playoff hockey is a whole different breed. There is tighter checking, it's more physical and passes like that do not get through. Meanwhile, Booth plays playoff hockey. He hogs the puck, yes, but he drives it hard to the net. If someone like Raymond or Schroeder tried that they'd get their bodies broken by defencemen. Booth is one of the few Canuck forwards big and strong enough to do so, and come playoff time that's the only way we're going to score. We need Booth in the playoffs or this team doesn't go very far.

Chicken Souvlaki Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think it is really sad that Booth got injured. He was really flying out there, hitting everything he could, and generating scoring opportunities. All this talk about him being invisible, useless, not worth his contract, injury-proned, whatever is disrespectful. Anybody's leg would have broken under that stress. What the heck is a guy supposed to do to please you creeps? If they cleaned out his locker, he probably needs the season and the playoffs at least to heal. I hope he plays great for us when he comes back because, from what we have seen, he gives it his all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 By the way Boston went all the way by using the type of passes you saw last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Aside from the fact that most atheist look at the Christians as retards (you know it is true), these atheists also love to throw God in their faces when adversity arrives. "Haha you got no luck. I am glad you suffer. Where is your God now?" Just look at how many people poke fun at his religion for no reason. Atheists just love to use passive-aggressiveness against Christians. They think Christians are too dumb to realize passive-aggressiveness, or too nice to say anything back. Good for you people. You won the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokasmoka Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sounds like he'll be walking around with 3 crutches, 2 for his ankle and one for his savior. All part of god's plan right David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Be careful of poking fun at Booth's faith on these boards, some people will get upset... the issue is taboo remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Not surprising. I had a feeling it would be something like 4-6 weeks. If everything went well we could probably have him back if we made the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And by preventing anyone else from doing the same. If this season is any indication, the playoffs are going to be a long, horrible, boring grind. We are not scoring this year and we haven't been able to prevent it. Gotta hand it to Boston, their smashmouth, hard hitting, crosschecking, face punching style really opened up the ice for them. Our team doesn't have that strength right now. Sorry to say it but IMO those passes won't work often enough for us come playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 2000 years of control and oppression will do that to some folks. My two cents are that I don't personally go around and poke fun at believers (and I'm referring mostly to the hardcore believers who would NEVER even think of questioning the word of the almight), instead, I do it behind people's back for laughs now and then. My point is that I wouldn't dare think about pushing my lack of faith onto others unless they have made it an issue first towards me, as in pushing their faith on me; I sometimes don't mind a good debate here and there regarding this issue... like I said, it's good for a laugh. But just like I, as a non-believer, don't go around and push my non-faith onto others, there are some believers who don't push their faith either. But see then we have some other non-believers who DO try and push their non-faith on to others, just like some believers ie. David Booth DO TOO, like he has done frequently, and he's proud of it. IMO if you go around pushing an agenda, whether you are a believer or not, you are fair game for scrutiny and criticism, so be prepared. There is also a good chance that sometimes the criticism might seem a little harsh, but this world is absurd, nothing new there. And just as you think the person who made the comment re: Booth's injuries were out of the social politeness convention, well, David is in the same Booth as that person.... see what I did there? Edit: Although I feel bad for Booth re: his injury, I really hope that he is not back with the team next year and he is either bought our or traded. It's nothing personal, I just don't like over priced players who can't produce and who continue to get hurt. It's a waste of cap room for a producing forward that we could suit up to win the cup.

Jester13 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Let me be the first one. That's a pretty disgusting comment to make on Booth's faith. What does that have to do with you? It's hockey, .... happens, this is Gods doing somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 So glad you made it short and simple DUC. I always think people who generalise don't do themselves any favours. No space? You see DUC the good players seek the space and make the passes and that works in any game. By the way Boston went all the way by using the type of passes you saw last night.

tas Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 it probably isn't fair that booth receives as much vitriol as he does, but it's completely understandable. he's not a very likable character, at least in this market (the deep south is most assuredly a different story), because he's preachy about christ in a very progressove region, he advocates hunting whch offends the hippies, and when he speaks he sounds like he has about a 79 iq. i have no doubt that i was smarter at age 10 than he is now. and that coupled with high expectations based on his salary and lack of performance makes it really easy to rag on the guy.

Jester13 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think you're losing sight of the fact that his team seems to like him as displayed by lappys assist on booths empty better..... It's all fine and good to take shots at a pro hockey player from an anonymous online forum but I'm sure what the locker room thinks is more important than what we think outside of it.
