On point.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Just because something may or may not be true.... doesn’t exempt constant complaints from being interpreted as “whining”

Usually the guy who complains about the ground ... just missed the ball :mex:

Lol sure Rats, nice to see limited visabilty by the mods.

Why don’t you say something about the constant homerism.

Bubbles in a nutshell
Yawn ... shit .... on the Dudes sort of chest.
I was wrong on the Granlund trade because Shinkaruk has proven to be garbage.Granny is a legit bottom sixer.

I didn’t bitch about the Baertschi or Dorsett trades and if I did it was minimal. Dorsett is slightly overpaid but he provides toughness which you and your piss posse hate , so this is a weird thing to comment on . I ended up being wrong on the return for Lack as I thought he should return a haul similar to Talbot. I was pretty much right about the rest. Excuse me while I pull my cock out of your mouth

Just hammer the fuck out of the homers like I do Reef. You can still be a fan without Jim Bennings prick in your mouth. A few on this board havent figured that out. I guess they are either blind or their mouth is full.

You are implying that I am somehow using my mod powers to control opinions posted here.

Would you mind explaining yourself?

This reminds me of the time you posted about mods editing your posts.

When informed that there is proof this was not happening (mod logs)

... you, in rather weaselly fashion, backed off on your claims.
Glad your back Doc, things are boring without you here.

Still dont read your full posts because you can Enron any comment the way you want.
Some say poster Reefer sometimes plays dumb... but he doesn't play much.

Many simply state that poster Reefer represents the idiocy of today.

But the "Almighty" Strangelove refuses to comment on these things...

So Nico and Nolan were not our first choice(s). He did not disclose if it still would have been Pettersson however. I remember thinking, thank gawd we didn't win the draft lottery. Can you imagine how insane the fan base would have been after passing on Taychook to pass on one of those two? It was bad enough that he passed on Glass!
If you heard the actual radio interview you would realize Linden was kidding.

It was clearly a tongue-in-cheek response to a question in let's-stir-it-up fashion.

(poking fun at all the why-didn't-they-take-Tkapuke talk)

I think I provided a link to the actual interview a while back...

The "rest"? Your path of righteousness. Carry the news, spread the word, hurry, your support network is dwindling. 1-2 years is fast approaching

Get on the Bus, Bubbles before it's too late, you can redeem yourself

I have and will always be a fan of the team. I’m just capable of balanced, critical thinking which is clearly a foreign concept to some people on this board

I’m talking about RD and to some point Doc on how they do nothing but praise Benning for everything. RD posted 4-5 times already Saturday morning parroting the same thing over and over again. No one tells him to let it go but God help anyone who calls him on it because then we get called a whiner.

Does anyone ever think about why we get so few new people joining here? Maybe because if you try to have a debate or have a different option you get Doc with his quantity but not quality responses or parrot aka RD. I have no problem with a heated debate, I believe there is some good discussions when posters argue their point. Yes we all get out of hand with name calling which could be reduced.

Yes Doc, before you post a response trying to show how I, in your opinion, am wrong or I have contradicted myself, I am as guilty as others.

I do not think Benning is close to being a genius, he has done what any good GM should do in his position. I also believe to some extent that he was forced to sign LE by ownership.

Anyway I really enjoy this version of the Canucks, I like the speed, the tenacity in many games. That does not make Benning a genius.
