Wonder__Bread Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You've really got nothing of any use to say anymore, Batmania. I don't think you're part of the braintrust. I have absolutely nothing against you, but every single one of your posts annoys me. I really don't know why. It's not even just this thread. Every time I read your post, even when I agree with it, I feel annoyed. I don't agree with anything in here though but I'm talking in general.

Batmania Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You've really got nothing of any use to say anymore, Batmania. I don't think you're part of the braintrust. Considering how "braintrust" is being used negatively by you I guess thank you is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 btw The Canucks have had bigger problems lately, but you can still notice the refs are screwing us on some bad calls in these games in key times. Not helping us as we're losing games that we may be able to win if we weren't being screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine by me as I don't even know who you are, but i find it strange that you're responding to a post directed at another user. During a time of ongoing losing, CDC tends to get cranky and start turning on each other. Pointing out obvious flaws in the team will either be agreed upon or denied by the blind homers or apologists. I've been on both sides. Been there, done that. When Gillis was first hired, the braintrust then was on perma doom 'n gloom alert and I was like, 'How can it get worse?' I posted this in another thread: The 2013-14 Vancouver Canucks Season (visually described through Jack Torrence gifs.) Game 1: Game 21: Game 42: Game 63: Game 84: Playoffs: So far, so good. (or bad) Anyway, as stated in this threads' OP, the Canucks have been benefactors in the past. We went to the finals in just 3 years of Gillis' reign. Now we're in the time for payback.

Wonder__Bread Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't get me wrong TOML, you usually back up your opinions with facts and I appreciate that, not mad at you in any way, I just get annoyed by your posts even when I agree with them, I think it's the fact your name sounds like the Toronto Maple Leafs. As for implying that the Canucks losing has made me turn against you, I assure you, this started long ago I just never voiced my opinion on the matter because I always cared about discussing the topic at hand. However, I'm not one of those "doom and gloom" kind of guys, if you look through my posts I'm usually very positive and try and bring some sense and light to the dark discussions on CDC, but I always forget, that this is... Well... CDC... All subjective though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Coincidence that the leading scorers for all Canadian teams are american and if they aren't that team sucks? Montreal-Pacioretty Toronto-Kessel Ottawa- Ryan Winnipeg- Wheeler Vancouver- Kesler Edmonton- Rebuilding Calgary- Rebuilding Two things you can get from this 1. We will suck once kesler is traded 2. The rigging goes into the regular season too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 All the winning-capable elite Canadian players have to go down south for the betterment of the league's future. Iginla remained in Calgary, but Sutter boldly stated that he'd have to do it all by himself, as if that was strategy. Whatever, they have a pre-Bettman cup. The Canucks haven't had a true Canadian star since... Linden? Oh wait. Bertuzzi. Ouch. He didn't leave on good terms. The WCE was an island. The Oilers have a handful of potential Canadian stars now, but they can't seem to get it together. That'll likely continue. They were forced to trae Pronger, which would be totally insane to do if they weren't forced. However, don't cry a tear for Edmonton. They stole Gretzky. The Leafs had Dougie Gilmour, but he inevitably went in favour of Mats Sundin. Now they have the mighty Phil Kessel. This is a winning ability downgrade. The Senators have Spezza, but meh, the leader was Alfredsson, and Spezza's apparently on the block. So yeah, it will be Bobby Ryan's team soon. The Jets have Evander Kane and he'll likely be traded soon. The Habs traded Roy to the Avs shortly after Bettman took over the league. Nice. Soon it became Saku Koivu's team, and now it's gone through Plekanec and Pacioretty. I don't expect Subban will remain a Hab forever. And now they're getting amped up about a Vanek rental? Yeeesh. Man, it's gonna be hard for the cup to come back to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he'll say one of the southern U.S. teams, but there's a few to pick from that will be in the playoffs. Though I don't know if anything that happened on trade deadline changed his opinion or not. I can't speak for the other sports since I don't pay enough attention to them, but as for hockey, I think it's pretty clear that some teams get many more favourable calls than others.

It will be the same as it has been since 1994. Check all the cup winners and you will be able to easily predict the type of team that will win.

TOMapleLaughs Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 But the games upcoming are going to be so tight, a call here or there can make a series swing any which way. So it's tough to say who the league is going to favour here. Could be another SoCal team. Could be Chicago's dynasty team. Could be STL who's on a 40+ cup drought. Hell, they could even just decide that it's TO's turn. We'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well who do you think gets it? I hope my post explains it too you as a another poster said it is not 100% rigged(closer to 73%) but favorable outcomes always happen at the end. It's impossible to predict who exactly because of the nature but you can tell what type of team will win with ease (that's what we have been talking about in this thread). If everyone could just predict like that neither you are I would be wasting our time talking about it right now. One thing I can tell you with 100% certainty (I knew since 2011-2012) that the Panthers will win a cup before Vancouver does and that Lu was going to Florida all along (his family never moved from there).

Master Mind Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My initial post-deadline thoughts are that it might be STL's time this year, but if not this year, very soon. Is that because of their cup drought? I think they'll win it soon too, though I don't think this is their year. I'm thinking a Cali team, most likely Sharks.
