I wonder why... Also the "hope this helps" is a poor troll job trying to trigger someone. Please try harder. You and squam are both getting a lot worse at this. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) So I dove into some highlights... and I don't want to say that I didn't appreciate them at the time.. but WOW what special players... You kind of just got used to it - watching them work their magic - but as a fan of the sport they were exceptionally unique. Some of these plays are just stupid. I swear you could watch hockey for 100 years & you'll never see a play like that Henrik through the legs of Niemi assist again. I feel so grateful to have watched these guys night in & night out. There will never be anything like them again. Edited June 24, 2021 by Smashian Kassian 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just come here, share some truths about this team and the game of hockey, and vibe. Just cuz everything I post isn't a superficial positive post about the team, doesn't mean I'm a troll lol.

Your OP is partially true (the meddling) but I'm not sure what this has to do with the Sedins? Thinking that they would just accept being used as a shield is an insult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I need to go into detail of since when and the fact that not everything you post is "superficial positive" isn't what makes you a troll, it's how and where you do it that does. You come into a thread like this for example and post that hiring the Sedins will continue to make us a middling/losing team. You then continue to say "hope this helps" when someone ends up replying to you without giving any actual argument on why you think this. You never have any support behind your claims, you're just trying to get anyone to bait on it. I don't think wallstreet for example is a troll even though he posts mostly negative comments about the team, he at least will back up his claims with why he supports that opinion. Anyway, I'm done taking any bait on this. Enjoy your time on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meddling works too, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought meddling b/c Aqua has been a lifelong fan & wants the team to succeed - therefore he interferes when he should just let the hockey people do their job. No owner prefers there team to be middling as opposed to a top contender. Especially with the upside to owning a winner in this market. (At their height the most valuable franchise after the original 6). Edited June 24, 2021 by Smashian Kassian 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they say they want to return to how the Canucks played in the bubble, that's basically a middle of the pack team. I don't doubt they want to be a powerhouse but the bar is low enough here that middling is acceptable. Hell, bottom-five for seasons on end has been acceptable here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is completely ignoring the context of what the bubble was though. That was rookie Quinn Hughes & 2nd year Elias Pettersson carrying the team. Rookie Demko holding them in against Vegas. Horvat as a young captain showing he can be a big time player. Boeser as a young player being a great contributor, exc. The significance is the step taken - on the backs of young players - from where we've been in the prior years, and hoping to continue taking those steps. It wasn't a veteran led team going on a Cinderella run, then hoping to re-kindle that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Watching the presser, it seemed very underwhelming and vague on some of there answers - perhaps a good way to start by tempering expectations. I wonder how long this experiment will last; but I still hope this is the first day of a loooong & successful career with the Canucks.

You are correct and I missed that, so I apoligize on my part. You did say ownership. My point still stand regardless though and if you think ownership wants us to be a losing team then you also need a reality check. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was in response to that, not the hiring. I looked at the posts between the two and couldn’t find a single one intimating that the ownership is flawless. Some discussion about how much ownership does or does not meddle but nothing remotely suggesting what you claim. Your comment was in response to something that you made up yourself. Then you chastise someone for not reading posts that were 11 hours apart. Not at all surprising that people took your barb as a criticism of the hire as I did before going back through several pages of posts to find your praise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
