I mean he didn't help us in the playoffs so we would not have missed him. But now they have him locked up and a huge window to trade him to ANY other team. That has got to be worth something.no?

Your honesty regarding the job management is doing is very refreshing. It was dormant from 2004 until 2022. Long time to live a lie.

If they can rip off a couple of wins here it'll make Allvins job harder/easier
I wonder if the Miller issue is between him and Miller and not Petey
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it

Drury to Allvin...let's make a deal today PA, I'm horny for Miller

Allvin to Tocchet...may have to hold JT out Ricky, seems like the Rags are finally serious (news to media honks gets out, Twitter blows up)

Allvin to Drury...so I was thinking Schneider, a first and we need a center so who on the farm....

Drury....woah, woah, woah my Swedish Kojak, I was thinking Chytil, Lindgren, a first with potential amendments and one of these 3 Hartford scrubs

Allvin to Drury...click

Allvin to Tocchet...JT plays

Click bait media wads....they juuussst about had a deal believe you me

...more likely that than not.

Why the fuck would we trade JT Miller for Cock-T Aneneome or Jacob Shit-L or whatever trash these teams are offering? To change course? Mid fucking season? After making that massive of a commitment to EP what...8 months ago? It makes absolutely zero sense

Na, this is starting to look like media driven nonsense or possibly manipulation tactics to inspire or ignite some fire in these guys
Sure hope so Cuz. Because the potential moves I keep reading about are franchise wreckers.

Absolutely the most likely scenario.

There's zero point zero chance that anyone gets beast mode Miller for cannon fodder and filler

Mëds wrote: Mon Jan 20, 2025 5:31 pm Been reading quotes and clips from various sources regarding the McDavid suspension.....unbelievably biased. I'll always excuse the bias from teammates, but the media? Bunch of asshats.

I particularly like Spector gobbling down McOiler cock as he says that McDavid is just taking matters into his own hands rather than wait for the officials to actually protect him and then point to the incidents over the past couple of weeks. The hit on Lafferriere against LA that knocked the King player onto IR. The elbow on Johansson that landed the Minnesota forward on IR. And now this latest on Garland.

In each event McDavid has targeted the head. It was a delayed retaliation against Laferrier. The elbow on Johansson was completely uncalled for and I can't for the life of me see how that could even loosely be defined as protecting himself. The Garland incident was also completely retaliatory.

I do agree with what Perry says, the part of the game where the players police the rough business is necessary. Your stars should be protected, and you know full well the league won't do it. However, the policing needs to be in regards to protecting from abuse. The clutch and grab, the little stuff, that has to be tolerated to a point, and the officials police that. But a price needs to be exacted on the ice when some neanderthal decides to take a liberal run at your best players.

The embarrassment that was the Canucks vs Washington.....no push back as Hughes was given the business by multiple Capital players.....I hate that about the Canucks. Ever since the WCE era began we've been a pussified pack of eunuchs that let our stars be abused and the marching orders were to beat them on the ice no matter how badly they beat us in the alley. I mess the time during the 90's when we know that if anyone fucked with guys like Bure or Mogilny they would be have Gino fuck with them.
2008-2010, we had Hordichuk, Rypien, Sugar Shane, Bieksa, Davisan, Glass, ..... guys like Mitchell and Ohlund were hardnosed.

The 90's had a lot more toughness than just Gino. The 97/98 roster was Broad Street Bullies like. Quinn, Keenan and Burke loved tough teams. Cheeseburger Guts and AV hated tough players. Gillis had tough teams his first two years and then bucked the nuts off the team.
I was specifically talking about the policemen, not guys like Mitchell and Ohlund. Hordi, Rypper, O'Brien, Glass, and Bieksa, all played on teams led by the Sedins and coached by Vigneault.....they hated the alley retaliation. Guys who were pure assholes didn't last.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Hordichuk and Rypien were policemen. Antoski, Hunter, Diduck and Dirk did as much policing as Gino.

Unfortunately that ain’t happening. Apparently Lafreniere and Schneider are untouchable.

Sure, but the purported offer I'm reading about was Chytil, Lindgren (UFA), and a (protected) first.

I think Donny acurately outlined the likely conversation earlier in the thread.

*actually I think it was Cuz. I won't look back.
