Olympics, Paris, 2024

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Constance Kuntz?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Medal 1.

This young gal (17) will be winning medals for us for this and the next 3 games.

Stood up to 2 titans of women's swimming in Aussie Titmus and Yank Ledecky and cruised to silver.

Not sure why they don’t combine the two Germanys as they have been reunited. Would bring Germany up to third place.
