Any newb that doesn't COMPLETELY disown Benning gets run out of there very quickly.

They justify it by telling themselves you are working for Aquaman and therefore a troll. :crazy:

I've been accused of that and I was there when some of them were still suckling at their mom's teet!

When the haters... 92.5% of the population... start complaining that you're upsetting them

... well it's adieu to yieu and yieu and yieu.

When you're a mod and 92.5% of your forum says this poster is a bad guy

... well you tend to listen.

There is no cure for this kind of insanity, there is no way out...

Yes, but here it's all in good fun.

There it's pure hatred.

You know we love ya Blob! :thumbs:

You've admitted to exaggerating your position

... and some on the other side have hinted at doing the same.

It's always been that way here over the decades. One big game.

Over there right now?

You can cut the tension with a knife, it's all too real...

Bridge under the water. I’m over it. Just had to once again explain to Aldo that I don’t love the player (Tkachuk), I hated the pick. He either has trouble with English or he just wants to derail another thread.

This thread is for poking fun at the tards at the tard farm.
Would you agree that we should still have targeted a dman? Or in other words would you rather have mcavoy over Tkachuk?

I’d rather have McEvoy than Tkachuk. He wasn’t rated there at all though. He was somewhere between 10 and 15.

The Canucks were riddled with holes everywhere heading into the 2016 draft. They should have targeted the best skater regardless of position.

It’s not as an erroneous of an error not drafting Tkachuk as the moaners will have you believe. It’s classic after the fact pissing festival led by the Angry.

The 3 drafts prior the Canucks drafted Horvat, Shinkaruk, Virtanen, Demko and Boeser. They were well represented in two of the 3 most important positions in the game, goaltending and centre but heavy on the wing and zilch on defence due to the fact that Gillis couldn’t draft a top 4 defenceman to save his life and that the last GM to to do any good in that department was Nonis - Edler and Bourdon. So they drafted by need, and it didn’t work out INSTANTANEOUSLY, big fucking deal. I got some inside info for the pee’ers, the Juolevi Book hasn’t been written oh impatient ones, so get the fuck over Tkachuk and move on.

When it comes to drafting 18 year olds ya don’t hit on everyone, not ground breaking news, ask the Oilers about this, but Jimmy has done a pretty good job considering the odds

The Tkachuk miss is the no. 1 beef beaten down like a dead horse, non-stop, by the HF Canuck Benning Tear-jerkers. OCD and Beyond.

Got fuck all to do with Gillis. Elmer picked a far shittier player in Olaf. End of story.

Bourdon was not a top 4 d man. Don’t pull shit out of your ass. That was another terrible pick. RIP Luc.

And the Canucks weren’t heavy at any position. They had zero organizational depth heading into the 2016 draft.

I wonder what we see at camp out of ollie. Realistically hes been out for almost a year and should be pretty rusty. Hopefully fans and the team preach some patience while he catches up in Utica
The reason it never end is because RD cannot stop comparing Gillis to JB.

With zero organizational depth you should still prioritize a dman over a forward just with the time it takes a dman to develop.

I think the Canucks hiring Salo to help develop Juolevi is a strong/wise move.

OJ seems like he'll at least top out as a top 4 dman that has sneaky scoring ability, a true blue chipper dman that is hard to get anyways in the league, having Edler/Benn here for two more years while Hughes and Juolevi develop is a fine piece of work by JB.
Not to mention Tryamkin LD/RD making his way over as well next year likely.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Not when there is a massive gap in talent between the d man and the forward. If they are equal, sure take the d man.

I wonder how many of the younger ones may be the actual fruit of my loins.

See, as a teenager I banged a many 'o skank ho in Vancouver!

I'm half expecting one of these guys to show up at the bar, recognize that scar on my cheek and that evil eye any yell:

"How do you do, my name is Clunk, now you're gunna die!"

Dirtay little bastards or what...
