2011 put me under bro...

Haven't followed the team in years.

Only peripherally aware of what's going on.

Still got seats (for client purposes) but haven't been to a game in years.

Watched zero on tv for at least the past 2 or 3 for sure as well.
I'll tell ya, you've missed some fun hockey with this team.

They've had some truly painful stretches, but they're turning the corner to more-good-than-bad. And when they're good, they're a fun hockey team.

But don't feel bad, even the prolific-posting Blob doesn't watch the games either :lol:

Then there's the true sadists like Uncle Strawberry who hasn't missed a game in 40 years or something like that - but he has an unfair advantage, being stoned throughout.

Yeah maybe I'll bandwagon it this year....should check out some of these youngsters to see for myself what we actually have in hand.

@ Leves ....They’re certainly a more fun to team to watch than the previous few years. They have a lot of good pieces in place but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to flesh out the roster and not much cash to do it. Benning had a rough off season last year so one would hope he can be a bit better prepared this summer. There is talk of using buyouts so that may free up a bit of cash. We shall see.

...and the rest of Blobs post.
Lol...well I guess that about sums that up from Blobs perspective.

Seems you may have a bit of a personal Jihad on your hands my man.

Ohdie?

dbr?

Aaron?

..and a few on the tip of my tongue I can't recall currently (Doc and Topper will play the age card here...wait for it).

Read snippets of a few threads last night and I see y'all have apparently chased all the ladies away except for the Queen.

It's not supposed to work that way you stumblefucks.

Why not Chris Adams...I guess the McQueen angle eh?

Good to see.you too Blob.
Things have changed around here Leves.

You gotta march to the beat of the Benning band, and any opposition to that viewpoint will land you firmly in the crosshairs of Doc or the Chef. They've taken a hardline 1984-wellian tack in regard to that there subject (Strangelove is a closet Biden backer). :P

Ohdee hasn't been around for ages.....at least not as Ohdee.

Iirc AP18 got busy with like 8 kids and family and just dropped off the face of the earth.

Who the hell is dbr did he used to post here? :look: :lol:

Despite the fact that Uncle Strawberry's Brown Cousin often comes off as a bit feminine, the only lady here when we migrated, other than HW, was LB.....and she went a tad crazy and disappeared into the sticks. No clue why. In general any who could be considered victims of obnoxious behaviour are layed at the feet of the Chef Royale.

No shit.....he hasn't even had to suffer through the rainbow of changing jersey colours. As far as his brain interprets anything coming off a screen it's all just a flying spaghetti kaleidoscope.

Those of us who survived 2011 were pretty much pushed over the edge of any remaining optimism in 2016 when Loui Eriksson scored his first goal as a Canuck in the season opener.

If you'd watched Quinn Hughes skate around during his rookie season you'd already have been back on board.

His defensive game looks like something you slice off a wheel of swiss cheese at times, but man that kid can skate and control a puck.

Sometimes I feel like Nicholas Cage in the Wicker Man with all the cultists in pig masks chasing him around.

It's like 2 AM, bars closing, sweetie you've been schmoozing decides she's not into the one nighter.

So you take home choice # 2.

The point....perhaps better than not being chased at all.

So are are you saying that Doc is getting Chef's sloppy seconds, or that Chef is getting Doc's?

Yes true I guess, but they end up killing him at the end :(
