Yup. Guy's a nut bar. Some stars just shouldn't coach.

Christ, who will be around by then - and not a brain in a jar interacting with a virtual present??

Agreed. He did us a solid. Two things can be true at once. I’m fine with not liking any player who does not want to play for the Canucks. His contract was structured to take him to FA. I believe he always had one foot out the door. I give the guy props for the great talent he is. I give him props f ...

You asked me for a link, I gave you two, you don't believe what was quoted in those links. Your continued failure of simple reading comprehension is duly noted. You mean you cherry-picked; I questioned your interpretation of it and its weight regarding Hughes as captain; and you asked me for a link ...

Careful with your collective "we".

Oh we know - you checked out on this team, barely watch…

…and yet here you are.

Lancer is painting himself into a corner of bitterness. Pretty crowded with the rest of you miserable sods. Just a different colour of paint. It’s not crowded at all. There’s more than one corner at this here Corner…..we all just wander towards the middle to converse. I do think that you’re rather a ...

Thank you for conceding my point.

Pretty selective interpretation of ‘you’ there, when in context most readers would interpret the word as a corporate term encompassing the organization, instead of implying that the decision was his. But hey, free world and all. So Quit mixed with everybody and said some uncomfortable things. I gue ...

Quinn was hand picked by Tocchet for his leadership skills. Ricky may have his flaws, but leadership was never one of them. You have a source for that? Tocchet had a voice, no doubt, but never heard that Hughes was his ‘hand-picked’ choice for Captains - to the exclusion of other possibilities to co ...

Sometimes ya gotta adapt your system to what ya got. Do you know how much Foote would have been mocked if he had said that they want to impose their will on teams?? With what??

If anything, Foote’s quote can be interpreted as an admission that the team only had so many guns on the bench.

Word is he is reluctant to sign with NJD because it will take ice away from his brother. But I do think he won’t be rushed. Minny has a very good team but I don’t see them as a Cup team. I think the playoffs will go along way to decking if he will stay or not. Front money is, if not Minny, Detroit. ...

You can call that unfair, but that’s the life of people like him: they get the adulation on the same pedestal to which we elevate them... I think that explains things. You made him a god in your mind and you see the demise of this team as a failure that he should have been able to prevent. Quin c ...

He presided over this car-wreck as team captain, along with coaching and management. He’s partly to blame for the current state of affairs. I’ll credit his performance on the ice. Arguably, the best player this club has ever had. Some magic was made by him in that uniform. His character??? Another m ...
