OT: 2019 OT Non-Ski Resort Thread

[Krnuckfan]

Wetcoaster was definitely one of the most interesting posters we ever had. His legal mind and recall of details and stories was unmatched. NFITO was another guy who mixed detailed breakdowns with his enormous passion as a fan.

Speaking of stories, Timmy - Timmy had the best stories.

Ahh NFITO is a name I haven't heard of in a loooong time. I miss that guy and his epic multi paragraph posts.

Do any of you remember the massive essay wetcoaster wrote on Burke? I had it bookmarked on my old computer but I think it died with the old forum. Wetcoaster tore him to pieces and as someone who never liked Burke it was probably my favourite post ever.

One of the issues the posters had was the amount of trolls that have shown up here. The quality of discussion has gone down hill, there have always been disagreements on the team here and some fierce ones (Resign the twins vs gaborik/cammerallei) but both sides could at least present proper arguements other than it doesn’t matter right now (cap space) or less draft picks means more time to scout players.

I feel once the trolls leave when the level of play on the team increases we could see them return. Or at least I hope so.

Which one? Wetcoaster had several long, painfully researched posts he could slap down at the drop of a hat about both Burke and Quinn. Their handling of Krutov in particular was something he had a field day with on multiple occasions.

I think he had one where he combined literally everything into a long timeline that covered Burke's entire tenure with the Canucks. Krutov had a big section for sure.

Ok, I'm kind of old but I don't remember if wetcoaster blew a gasket during the whole Peter Zezel's niece fiasco.

What happened to Pat Quinn as our GM?

This is the only sample of a Wetcoaster rant I could find. That dude was awesome, hope he's still browsing these boards.

Conspiracy: he disappeared around the time Tony Gallagher retired.

I’m pretty sure he was a player agent. He definitely had an extensive legal background.

A poster I liked was Tom Benjamin. We had some very heated discussions... but the discussions were intellectually honest. It took a long time, but he changed my mind on owners vs. players re: salary cap back in the day.

But Gillis was a good poster, wherever he went

Yeah, I'll never forget the day he left us so he could take an analytics job in NASCAR. Maybe one day he'll come back, along with Bure to Mogilny

Don't say that - even in jest.

I don’t believe he was a player agent himself, but I think he definitely knew some prominent ones professionally and personally, which gave him a lot of interesting insight.

I think you and i need to have a talk HTP

I’m amazed Wetcoaster is remembered here so fondly. He occasionally made useful contributions on legal stuff but the guy was a blowhard asshat with horrible hockey takes (he was still making fun of Kesler’s shot when he scored 40 goals) who was constantly spamming threads with the same couple cut/paste essays every time one of his trigger topics was mentioned, in particular Pat Quinn who he had a bizarre vendetta against.

Always wondered if he was Ron Perrick.

Well I think it’s also in comparison to some of the posters that have joined here recently that provide no useful discussion but are blowhards, we have lost some good posters and have seen an influx of stupid ones. I fear what the future holds if botch posted a link to these boards when discussing tanevs value.

If we are remembering fondly can we remember the old ski resort under the sea thread. I’d give anything to read that one again

Not complete but what do you expect from an old fart like myself:
