Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

So that's what happened to ol' Cody, that's crazy man.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

No wonder Canucks medical staff couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

Hopefully he didn't also inherit the douche gene from his pops.

Pretty amazing story, Skyo. Good lesson in how NOT to give up...
Doesn't even have a problem roughing it up.

The Kings have relieved coach John Stevens and assistant coach Don Nachbaur of their duties.

More changes to come from Kings in an announcement in about 30 minutes.
And ol Willie is back again!

Wow, I never would have dreamt Willie`d get another gig in the NHL. Wonder what they see in him.

Funny isn’t it. We wanted Stevens as coach but LA would not give us permission to talk to him. So we hire Willie. Now Stevens is fired only to be replaced by.....Willie!

Of all the Canucks ex-coaches to hire!

Ummm hellooooo... Vigneault and Crawford are available.

Or they could've waited a few weeks for Torts to come available...

Hell even the lunatic Keenan might have been a better choice. :mrgreen:
