Interesting.

What effect do you feel HW's well written post should have had on these alleged spreaders of propaganda?
It probably will have no effect. People will still lick windows in the short bus. It happens. Carry on

lol are you that naïve? Burke had that in the bag and the GM's let him have his day so long as Stephan? went 1st overall to the home crowd, it was meant to be.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Don't listen to guys like Doug Maclean. They know just about zero.
He's lucky to even have a TV job. I highly doubt any current GMs or Presidents or owners would be sharing anything with him.
Most of our long time local sports media seem to have fallen out of the loop too.
There are a few good sources for credible info, most of us know who they are, but sometimes it's a matter of when they can get to the Canucks.
We get more attention when Brock is doing his thing or Elias is lighting it up somewhere.

Chef Boi RD's musings: is Sam Pollock a candidate to replace Jim Benning?

I say yes! Why stop at Ken Holland? Let's go deeper into past glories! Let's raise the dead!

I know what you mean. Drafting Boeser, Gaudette, Demko, Tryamkin outside the lotto zone is genius not luck. I guess we were lucky that no drafted Pettersen ahead of us.

RoyalDude is a must read at this site.

You could learn a lot from him.

You constantly ask him to "give it a rest".

Yeah, perhaps you should give that a rest. :D

It probably will have no effect. People will still lick windows in the short bus. It happens. Carry on
Speaking of short bus riders...

it appears you saw the word "will" where the word "should" was written.

Try again good buddy? :D

Make you a deal, I will “give it a rest” for a week if you do as well?

No?

Didn’t think so.

Also not surprised you jumped to his defence.

Blob are you saying you'd rather not answer the question:

"What effect do you feel HW's well written post should have had on these alleged spreaders of propaganda?"

If so, I completely understand... but it makes your original post completely irrelevant I'm afraid. :D
