I think I got an inkling who it might be. Marican boy I think... I like Ian Cole too but I wouldn't build a statue of him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would summarize the whole Canucks history to this point 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It served us well in the moment (not really) to bring some awareness but seemingly did more harm than good. Sadly, it's an organization that would rather hush the critics and pretend they don't exist than use constructive criticism to be better and progressive. Deaf ear on the ol' boys club. But yeah....would be nice to turn the page and start fresh. Give this club in the here and now their own identity without carry over from the past. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a statue of Green with his bags packed heading to the airport, best thing that’s happened to this club in over a decade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Nielsen statue was unnecessary. Another reminder that we whine. At the same time, I'd rather hold off until we win a cup (which I think will happen soon). At that point, JR can retire and we can throw him up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We whine" is a narrative some use in a head in the sand attempt to pretend everything's fine and dandy. It's not. It's almost like it's become edgy or somehow makes us tougher. That old man up stuff. I feel that toughness comes with the courage to stand up to stuff and go against the grain. Rather than just suck it up and go with the flow. Roger's actions may not have corrected anything but I applaud him for having the guts to do what he did. The ol' boys clubs of the world are slowly becoming exposed for what they are. Mostly deaf, dumb, blind, spineless and corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalties were ridiculously unfair to favor Chicago. It was in protest rather than whining. We won the series and the impact of the towel is still clearly seen throughout the hockey world world during playoffs, tournaments, Olympics, etc. Big part of hockey history.

Mostly deaf, dumb, blind, spineless and corrupt. I'm with you about the old boys club. They are proud, arrogant and are not held accountable. At the same time, ownership cares more about their pocketbooks so they keep them in power instead of speaking out. Rogers statue does nothing. Have you seen the league change since he waived his flag? The Canucks are building something special right now. It doesn't make sense that we have to beat the refs as well as the opposition but that's what we are gearing up for. RT isn't stupid. We got screwed last game. We all know this. But he's building a winner where we fight through bad calls and still win so that the entire world knows we are the best. The calls will start going our way when the world knows we own the other team. They'll know they can't influence the game so they'll just give up and call it properly before the game turns into a farce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
