Bob Mackenzie looks like he's a prostate exam away from the Hall of Fame and Order of Canada.

I want to donate to a white spot fundraiser to get some triple O sauce enrobed beef into that sad hound dog frown

Every day I read a new article about the Canucks and a JT or EP trade. Is sports that boring that they need to bring this up time and time again from ex players with pod casts and the written media? The latest and newest, at least to me, is Kypreos having JT go to NYR for Zibanejad +. I know we have heard this deal before but Kypreos is just dog piling on what others in the media has already suggested.

Now they can say "multiple sources reporting" yadda yadda yadda.
It is the same game the talking heads at TSN do all the time. Mackenzie posts, Duthie posts, Dregar posts ... next up "multiple sources reporting". All from one network.
It is no different than top 40 radio with a heavy rotation, sooner or later the it is ingrained and folks believe it it true and good.

The rumour mill is out of control on X right now. Now it’s the Islanders, with the Canucks having “high interest” on Noah Dobson, as reported by Canucks Army.
I guess with Bo coming out and saying he’d love to play with Petey again has sparked the Arm Chairs into overdrive

Friedman also saying Chicago should be stepping up.
Click bait galore.

Big trades coming up? Pass the popcorn. Juulsen for a 7th, Deharnais for a bag of used hockey pucks, and Brannstrom for a mesh bag to carry them in? A post puppy-punted Stecher would be an upgrade over them all.

What a troll! Bieksa for President. Uh. Prime Minister.
The WTF was taking Bieksa miming taking a bite out of Friedman after the awesome insult our "4th liner" whose an "insider" (said sarcastically); I think Bieksa may have better sources with the Canucks and has info he hasn't disclosed (as a promise to those sources), and that information doesn't line up with what Elliot's been shopping.

Jannick Hansen with some interesting comments on the Canucks and the media.
Apparently the team has changed media availability rule and is sheltering some players. Hansen's take is that the Canucks should not absolve players like Pettersson from facing the media (no matter how awful the media is). He signed up for the $11.6M per, he needs to face the questions and sheltering him only breeds media speculation. He compares it to the Sedins who never shied away from the press no matter how bad times were.
Communication 101

Who gives a shit what the media wants.
If staying away from the media helps a player play better, let him.
