The prospects ar good but the team sucks.

So does the city btw. What a fucking eyesore the last time I was there. I'd rate it somewhere between Baghdad and Beirut. Embarassing to call it a Canadian city really

And yet just finished right with Vancouver as the most liveable cities in the world.
Safest North American city and you're comparing it with war torn regions. LOL.

You know what's a terrifying eyesore Blobby? Immediate North East of downtown Vancouver all the way through the Fraser valley until you're leaving Hope. That's disgusting real estate my friend, ain't no hope for revitalization there.

Why "In God's Good Green Earth" is that being allowed to happen?
Oh Yeah, money for Christie...

Yup, it's all about squeezing in as many multi family low rise apartment buildings, in every square inch of land. All hail property taxes, the more the merrier, fill the coffers. Another word for High Density - future ghetto.

Can already see it, doesn't take long.
R.C.M.P. recruitment is at an all time low and their pay-checks are not what people think.
mmmm, 10 years down the road. yikes..

A wall should be built up commercial drive starting at the Burrard Inket to 12th just before Clark Park and go west to Main and then up main to 33rd and west to oak street and then south on oak to 41st and then west on 41st to arbutus and then south to marine and then carry the wall to the Fraser. Put guards on the south side of the lions gate and iron workers memorial bridge and water patrol the inlet because of the riff raff trying to sneak across from Burnaby North and Port Moody

All I know is that the city planners in this city need to be shot

I hear it's his right shoulder.

Watch leafers blame this injury (it lingers they'll say) when Andersen's sv% craters behind that horrid dee.
Oh my god. What will happen, the leaves will then get another top pick and add to their #1 status for top prospect pools?
There are only 3 reasons the Leaves prospect pool is rated highly right now:

Matthews, Nylander, and Marner.

After forcing them all into the lineup this season, they won't qualify as "prospects anymore"

Next summer their prospect pool will be ranked #31.

I predict Marner will be a major bust btw...
