A few things to keep in mind with the Chef, Mr Curmudgeon.

He hates hard nosed, mean physical players, former and current. That mulitplies double and triple if they are Canadians from BC.

He generally thinks most if not all players and prospects on the other 29 teams suck.

He can’t stand Canada’s entry into the WJC regardless of what year it is and actively roots against them. He has told everyone for years that the US is developing better players than Canada. The results certainly haven’t bared this out.

All other managers in the league except Jim Benning are doing a shitty job according to the Chef.

He is a master of fabrication, a master builder of goalposts who’s very skilled at putting them up and taking them down and moving them all over the field.

He absolutely hates random players like Mackinnon, ROR, Ekblad, young Bowen Byram, among many others..
Lol, didn't I see him on another board? Thanks for the heads-up.
Doyle has been very angry since Gillis was fired. Doyle coined the term “the Urine Crew” in reference to anyone who ever criticized Gillis.

Ryan Clowe was Doyles Gordie Howe, loved him greatly. He is also a massive fan of a Jamie McGinn and wanted to litter our line up with Jamie McGinns

Doyle grew up on a regular diet of Frosted Malts and Hot Dogs bought at Willie Woozles in Coquitlam centre where he bullied handicap kids at Toys R Us. Doyle reached 5’-10” 247 lbs at the age of 13 just before highschool
I'm starting to think Doyle might just be your alt account. lol

When is the last time you cheered for Canada in Men’s hockey or Juniors? I’m thinking a minimum of ten years. Your wife’s American relatives swaying you that much?

Fact Checked for Accuracy: Willy Woozle was located in Westwood Mall. It was a staple of this glorified strip mall from the time of Kmart through Liquidation World (or whatever it was called) and made an excessively processed yet incomprehensibly delightful bacon cheese dog that consisted of: weiners made solely from lips and ass; some form of cheese slice/cheeze whiz/gelatinous cheese; "simulated" bacon bits; and a slightly stale bun no doubt from the factory responsible for wonderbread. I believe the Woozle, as well as the last decent local arcade, was finally displaced by the Sport Chek additon - now Winners. Also, the toy store in Coquitlam Centre was Toys & Wheels, not Toys R Us. Cannot confirm if Doyle was the bully or one of the bullied handicapped kids.

A little off the mark. Doyle was a legend in them parts. The 5’-10 247 lb bully was taking quarters from small kids at the arcade all time. Had frosted malt stains on his shirt always

The last decent arcade was Little Vegas by Aggie Park (Sabatine Field). San Remo’s Pizza is there now. Butlers used to be on the end of that strip. Friscos was kiddie corner to where San Remos is now.

There was also another arcade in the downtown area on the corner of Mary Hill Rd and McCallister.

lol no the arcade bully was a local legend by the initials DM. Toughest kid in town for many years.

Dude, there was and still is a sizable portion of the poco population sporting malt and sweat stained shirts and/or wifebeaters. So that there's a tough marker to identify one single resident. My memory ain't what it used to be so I stand to be corrected, but depending on age, Doyle could be said squat, prematurely balding, local arcade bully parlaying stolen coins into three-letter-initial high scores on Dragon's Lair and Tron. If he was older, perhaps he's responsible for the weekly friday night shankings at Butlers which were no doubt followed up with a short jaunt down the block for a thick pie from the Remo Room on his way for luke warm sleeve from Frisco's Ballroom, served in a glass with cigarette ash residue and still marked with fingerprints and lipstick. You two might be kindred spirits because that sounds a lot like sone of your adventures in the DTES.

I did say "decent" arcade. Both of those Doyle mentioned were located in the north/south central slums. No place for respectable youth, or those who didn't want their quarters stolen.

Same crew if we're on the same page but for my money PM was, and could very well still be, the toughest hombre in those parts.

Would PM be a bit younger than myself? Like around 47, 48 ish? Has two older brothers initials MM, AM? Irish family?

Another tough fucker was MK a year ahead of myself. He did a year in jail for bashing a pallet over a biker’s dome as an 18 year old kid in the late 80s outside Frisco’s Beer & Wine store.

Age sounds about right but I'm not sure about the family tree or lineage. Irish last name for sure.
