“Drew O'Connor has more goals than Boeser and DeBrusk and only has one fewer point on the season.
Great for DOC but...” - Satiar Shah
Won’t be surprised if DOC outplays those two for the rest of their careers if they all stay Canucks. Those two should ask for trades. DOC may get fewer points but he has size, can skate fast and knows how to defend and kill penalties. I liked him as a checking centre. Sasson is faster, but gets lost defensively and knocked down more than Petey. He may be okay as a winger, but head to head defending good centres he doesn’t stand a chance. DOC is much more aggressive, physical and forechecks better. Raty is too slow. If everyone is still around, next season they should go with Petey, Rossi, Cootes and DOC down the middle. They can keep Raty and Sasson around as depth, or on the wing with less defensive responsibilities, but neither are long term solutions for this team. They should be playing DOC at centre for the rest of this season so he can get used to the role.
O’Connor, Karlsson and Sasson have made up for DeBrusk and Boeser’s lameness. Was always on the fence with the DeBrusk signing. He was known to disappear like this in Boston. Really not good having two expensive veteran wingers shitting the bed this year and clearly being outplayed by Karlsson and O’Connor and Sasson.
It's OK to have a streaky player or 2, but Brock and Jake somehow manage to sync there menses, in reverse. 3 weeks off, 1 week on. Slow down on the estrogen shakes.

I'm gonna run with its Doc pulling strings....
Strings, ropes, cables, extension cords, dental floss, him ripping on the Dude's back sweater. Doc was always pulling something. His wire, your leg or trying to squeaze into a size medium Clark Park jersey to watch Roger fight.
I still beleive he was THINKER. The Dick Stroker facade was one thing. Flimsy wallpaper..... TAFKATT was a whole other level. The rapping was epic.
“I don’t care what you and some other poster were talking about”
Doc was definitely the THINKER, without question. I miss Doc but he was a tad paranoid about revealing anything of himself beyond his politics, religion and Clark Park child hood. What for? Nobody gives a shit, for instance Blob is the Mayor of Titty City, and damn proud of it, he tells everyone.
My personal opinion is that characters like Tuna or CJB were fairly authentic in their asshole-ness and thus not really Doc's M.O. as his socks' characteristics were more staged, dramatic and grandiose over-the-top personas.
But who really knows?

I have to agree with you gentlemen's assertion that the Doctor was Thinker/Arty.
I think there are some in this room still with us know this to be true but are bound by their word to Doc to not let it be known as you know, haunting us from his grave with these insolved nuggets was part of the plan set out by yours truly - Strangelove.

So as far as I can determine.... you just invited the Jesus demon himself into your life by outting Doc as Thinker
