So TODAY Friedman doesn't know what he's talking about, but YESTERDAY:

Sure he has. I guess Eklund is a good source for you. :)
Agenda much? :lol:
Not really . I just didn’t agree with his take. He is still plugged into the leagues GMs and goings on in the league. Linden probably bitched and cried to him about how he and Elmer are being treated.

Island Nucklehead wrote: Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:27 pm The fans are cynical because they were fed bullshit for several years about not needing a rebuild, that this management team was capable of "retooling on the fly". The city (and many posters on this distinguished message board) have been calling for a rebuild since Benning came aboard (and even prior). Instead, we got some freak hybrid middle-of-the-road monster for the first couple years. Now that we're actually firmly into rebuild mode, they should be allowed to say "I told you so".

Linden was suppose to be the mediator between team direction/general mgmt and ownership, the guy to convince the owners to consider a rebuild. He's whimping out as he seems to be the one pushing the - make the playoffs/retool on the fly bullshit, which is a tall order that requires horseshoes at the draft table. As Ferraro keeps saying as well as pretty much every pundit out there says " you can't do both" which really points to the fact that linden has either failed at convincing the Aquas of a rebuild or he truly is phoning it in and is just enjoying the job lacking the gonads in directing ownership for a restart. It's like he's running this team like its one of his Club 16's.

Prior to Shanahan entering Leafdom the word rebuild in Toronto was a no go, no Leaf President had the balls to say "fuck you all, we are tearing this down and going full rebuild". Now look at the excitement in that city, but like we saw on the ice, Linden is no Shanahan.

Nearly every fan in this city is crying for a tear down and an end to the Sedin era. It's not the playoffs this city cares about its hope, it's a bright future they want, a beginning of a new chapter. People really need to fuck off with the "this city can't handle a rebuild", that's just Linden listening to the media, instead of his heart. The media does the ying/yang bullshit to create listenership, nothing like a good debate to create listenership, but we need a president who can cut through all that bullshit like Shanahan has.

For some reason 'bold moves' in the Canucks offices is a "don't go there" whisper behind the owners backs. "Don't want to get fired"!

Linden you suck, you're as whimpy as a president as you were on the ice".
lol at Pacific Blue carving Linden 18 months ago now he sits on his knee and tugs Trevor’s dink.

I see Nuckle Farm is still upset for being called out for his love of Chiarellis rebuild in Edmonton.

I find your flip flopping on Trevor’s lap far more amusing

You peeps need to tune in to the Halford and Brough show on Team 1040, they come on after Pratt & Jake. Just to hear my emails calling them out, LOL. They are Benning bashers and the dude don't like Benning bashers. They've read out a number of my emails to some good laughs.

I’ve phoned in twice and got cut off once. A couple emails and zero texts.

I lit Taylor and Pratt up
On the phone when they used to work together. So what’s that ? 8-10 years ago. Pratt was enraged

I don’t think Corey Hirsch will last long if he doesn’t quit being such a goalie homer.

Lol Dan Russell is still angry and bitter. Trashing the Sedins on Twitter saying they of course scored the game winner in circus time because they always did all during that gimmick. Said they were good regular season players only. What a fat puke.

Dan Russell lost the plot years ago. Nobody pays attention to the laughing stock

So the TEAM 1410 is no more. What a shame. The American shows on that station were a nice break from the local idiots. Might be time to get out of the 90s for the Blobcat and get satellite radio
