Roussel is an expensive banged up older wild mustang.

Beagle is a very expensive elderly Clydesdale. Just about ready for the glue factory.

MacEwan is a younger wild mustang with some potential

Ferland is a show pony and very delicate. Maybe he gets hired for birthdays and bar mitzvahs to entertain young children.

Sutter is an old stringy nag that needs to be euthanized

Not seeing these workhorses you speak of.
Hardworking competitive guys that are all thought of highly in every lockerroom they’ve been in. A lot more to team sports than your narrow view. These guys are redundant though now that the young guys are here to provide the culture required.

Lol thanks for the history lesson. I’ve played plenty of teams sports my friend. Let me guess, you’re the Canadian star linebacker :lol: Mentors are great when they can actually perform. Except for Miller and Mac those guys are all baked. Having as much deadweight on the books as we do, may force a move of Jake Virtanen for picks.

JR B Poco Buckaroos 1988-1990.... I did play peewee a few years before that. Funny eniugh I played against our old buddy Clam Russell in the PIJHL. He was a goalie with Mission Pilots.

Rats is the baseball player. Tell him that’s not a sport. I played Fastpitch at Junior and Senior levels.

I thought Clam played his Junior B in Lethbridge.

And yeah, I meant to say fastpitch.

Rats, buddy! :thumbs:

He’s a valley boy. I think he was on a minor league team with the Missing Link. Gates was a fucking animal even as a teenager. He played midget with my cousin in Mission.

I recall you and Clam selecting your handles at the same time back in the day.

Clam Russell and Blob McKenzie. :D

Which one went first?

I think he was just behind me. And just in front of Potatoe and Frank Anderson

To the original point. Mentors can be invaluable obviously, especially when they can still perform. I think anyone playing pretty much any sport at any level would go along with that. But Skyo’s list was a bit scabby. I’m really hoping for a compliance buyout to be honest.

Still though, Dickie would skate circles around you and put you on your ass. :mrgreen:

Now back to Frank.

The only poster to ever be tag-teamed by Tiger and THINKER?

They pounded him to a bleeding pulp... and then the pack of voracious animals finished him off.

Frank Anderson LOL

Clydesdales are work horses
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Ok l do remember him but I don’t remember the demise.

Is Dickie some kind of superstar? I was a decent hockey player. Played a couple years SR A with the Blues. That was a fucking meat grinder of a league. Fights every fucking game. We had a terrible team. New West Beavers were the filthiest dirtiest team in the early 90s. Fucking Callahan and the boys. Dirty fucking pricks. Squamish was dirty as hell. Hated playing at Moccasin Square Gardens. It was fun to go to Powell River because we flew. Always got clobbered there. I can’t believe people are still playing full contact SR hockey. Hilarious! I haven’t skated in 20 years. Dickie probably could light me up these days. My gear is buried in the garage and unless I skate on Deka, that’s where it will stay.
