Tkafuck will get a pile of money this summer and by next summer he'll be 260lbs.

Between this summer and next he'll get arrested for assaulting a Sally Ann Santa.

The kid has no character Blob, he's a bow-legged chicken he's a knock-kneed hen...

That whole core group is shit, they’ll never win anything with that forward group and once giordano is done the leadership on that team is gonna be coke head monohan and gaudreau plus that little shit Tkachuk. Maybe if it was Brady and not the whiny one they’d be okay.

That's exactly how I see it Dickie.

Giordano is strong enough for another couple of years to carry them pretty far

... with a little luck thrown in.

But after that?

Blob has admitted Tkapuke is a the kind of punk he's always hated.

Blob always expressed his disdain for Cooke, Ruuttu, Burrows... who else am I forgetting?

I didn't always agree with his criticisms but I respected him for them.

I like blob, and his opinions, I shouldn’t compare him to the shmucks at hfboards, I know his Tkachuk and razor thin Olaf are more of a meme now than anything else.

[Blob Mckenzie]

I don’t like rodents. But Tkachuk is a far superior player to any rodents the Canucks have ever had. I just don’t like seeing a team I hate get gifted a top end player while we ended up with a pretty meh prospect.

Coke head Monahan ?

Come on now.... what is this based on?

C'mon Blob, you'd be the first one calling out Tkachuk for his chicken-shit stuff if he were a Canuck.

(hell, you called out Kesler every time!)

And to be honest I'd probably be defending Tkachuk to a certain extent due to my fanboy side.

A classmate of mine is married to a previous owner of cowboys.

Probably. I always loved the guys who can finish what they started. Curt Fraser, Kassian, Diduck, Momesso, hell even Pavel. I always liked Stan too even if his number being in the rafters is a farce.

Still Dude that’s pretty flimsy. Not saying you’re lying but for me I’ll only mention the guys I know who did it. Kassian, Murdoch, Fuhr, Kuznetsov, most of the 80s Coilers, most of the 86 Mets.

Yeah.

Did anyone punch harder than Fraser?

Did anyone ever deliver as many goal-crease cross-checks as Diduck?

Was anyone stronger along the boards or in a scrum than Momesso?

Did anyone else... other than Howe... ever deliver as devastating an elbow as Bure that one time?

Did anyone even deliver half as many thunderous open ice hits as Smyl?

Did anyone ever snort more lines than Kassian between periods?

Don't forget the 3 snowmen in Edmonton a couple of years ago.

They say there's a lot of it going on in the NHL these days...

That’s what they say. Probably where there’s smoke there’s fire. I just now the type of hangover that I used to get when I chased the dragon and it’s fucking insane. I have no idea how these guys would be able to function if they were wired on blow all the time. I drank like a fucking maniac when I was lit up.

The funny thing is I’m dead centre between the Benning Bros and the Benning bashers. And I was quickly given the hook as Doyle Hargraves on that site by the bashers. I might add I get swarmed on this site by the Benning bros pretty regularly. Nobody seems to appreciate anyone standing on the middle ground.

You’re classic Blue Square - on the fence type, dead centre. And that’s respectable, even though your love for the Turtle is a bit outlandish

You misinterpret. I don’t love Tkachuk. I hate the Calgary Flames with a passion. I’m just pissed that the Canucks didn’t draft him. It was a terrible and indefensible mistake. Always BPA is especially when you are drafting that high.

No less than two times, probably more, I've heard Jim say we drafted for position that year. As far as I'm concerned, that's as close as your ever
going to hear from a GM, to making a mistake. It's honest.
And remember, just two years earlier, they drafted Jake and in late spring 2016, they may have felt Mathew, though better numbers, was similar.
Stand on bridge, look down, see flowing stream. Fuck it. Maybe Oli will still have an NHL gig ?
I remember saying; just take Kieth's kid. It's safe. I'm even shocked he's done what he has.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Trevor hates his dad. I'm sure that had something to do with it considering they didnt even give him an interview. Its unheard of for a top 10 drafting team to not envite a top 10 ranked prospect. Nobody will ever really know but it sure stunk like Lindens ego might have had a hand in things

It would certainly make sense given the way they approached this last draft.
Seemed like they went BPA all the way

[Chef Boi RD]

Yeah it was a mistake, like that needs to still be clarified. Isn’t the first and last time that will happen when drafting 18 year olds. It was a combination of things:

- I’m sure Linden wasn’t on board to drafting Keith’s son

- We had not drafted a defenceman in the first round since Luc Bourdon - 8 drafts prior to 2016. The best defenceman Gillis drafted in 6 drafts - Hutton, Subban, Sauve and Connauton. Ouch! Just putrid!

- they drafted two wingers in the first round of the prior two drafts - Virtanen and Boeser, considered the least important position after Centre, defense and goaltending

- the Canucks badly needed D-men in the prospect pool kept harping on about it leading up to the draft in fact most everyone was ok with the pick “yes I would have liked Tkachuk but we badly need top young D-men in the pool”

- the through the roof high premiums off acquiring young D-men through trade made it understandable

- not too mention most everyone became enamoured with Juolevi’s playoff performance

- move on. Benning has dominated the last 3 drafts since. Absolutely killed it.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Good advice dude. Its been argued about enough now.

I wonder what we see at camp out of ollie. Realistically hes been out for almost a year and should be pretty rusty. Hopefully fans and the team preach some patience while he catches up in Utica

When you use words like indefensible you sound like the twats at hfboards.

Ok what’s a better word for ya Sparky? Stupid? asinine? moronic? They all fit. A toddler could have made that pick. I’m sure if Benning had a few beers under his belt he’d admit it was a terrible pick that he’d like to have back. Oh well the silver lining is I guess we aren’t having two high profile RFA to sign this summer.

It’s ignorant hyperbole with the benefit of hindsight. The team needs dmen, there’s your defense for the pick, thus not indefensible. Call it a bad pick fine, but leave the hyperbole out of it.

They also needed wingers at the time. It was a bad pick, glad you agree. And it’s got fuck all to do with hindsight. Most people were shaking their heads when Vancouver made the pick.

Bridge under the water. I’m over it. Just had to once again explain to Aldo that I don’t love the player (Tkachuk), I hated the pick. He either has trouble with English or he just wants to derail another thread.

This thread is for poking fun at the tards at the tard farm.
