We know you're out there... you have a week to work up the courage to start posting some hockey rather than just sit and absorb the incredible amount of hockey knowledge emanating from this website.
Young Stars tourney starts next Friday! That's right the Orca comes back out from hibernation on Sept 16.
So all you lurkers, why not join in give us your thoughts?

And risk losing my barely triple digit post count, exposing myself to brilliant search-engine powered Strangelove posts about all those times I got behind a keyboard while drunk???
No way, man.

C'mon - those 129 posts qualify you as a CC Veteran!

I'm talking about the people that come here on a regular basis and have ZERO posts!

Here's to my longstanding pattern (5 years here, and 10 more on the other CC) of months on end spent lurking, punctuated by a short bursts of a dozen or so posts a couple times a year!
Veteran status achieved, minus the burnout. It's a wonderful thing.

In a room of 100 people......17 do 95% of the talking.
But yes it would be nice to have all those guest and lurker members pipe up a bit...
Throw in their 2cents worth if you will..

I consider myself a lurker. Been here since Jan 2006, only 500 posts and I contribute a lot less now than I used to. Much prefer forming my opinions of player performance based on what you lot see than the BS from the Vancouver media. Plus HW always has juicy gossip that nobody else seems to.

Here.
I live in Penticton so its kinda hard to not go to the young stars tournament; curious about Juolevi mostly.
I check the site out daily, wondering if any news is breaking re: another top 6 left winger. I dont have a lot to say that Blob doesn't already cover for me

and as sure as there's some 'ying', ya just know there's some 'yang' arising with Doc and his crowd of Benning supporters!
As colorful and off-beat as the posters might be here, the site is usually more 'on' than most other sites - i enjoy you all (usually)
Cheers

Hi my name is Skyo and I'm a canuckscorneraholic.
A long time ago, a baseball player remarked: "If I owned a ballclub, I'd hire a $5,000 coach and a $15,000 scout."

By the way do you want to sponsor this year's trade thread?

I'd say I count as a lurker since I visit daily and have for over a decade (here and at the previous forums) but I do post infrequently when I have something to say. And I also do have an avatar...
Can't get excited about WCH... but think Benning is doing a good job of building a team, if not a great job of asset management. I think he has a roster he envisions and is trading and drafting for specific pieces of that team, vs trying to maximize asset value. (It's why Granlund for Shinkaruk made sesne - Shinkaruk wouldn't fill a hole on the roster Benning is trying to build, but Granlund has the potential to.)
