OT: Around the NHL: The Countdown to Camp

[Mordax]

This isn't the place to argue about who is and isn't a rapist.

Been avoiding this thread since the whole Kane thing began. Decided to give it a peak today...

"I honestly don't know what's going to happen moving on," Lucic told TSN 1410 Radio in response to a direct question on the topic. "I mean I have one year left on my contract, and there's a possibility that I can hit the [unrestricted free agent] market... It's obviously something that's been a dream of mine since I've been a kid, is to play in your hometown and play for the Canucks, but right now the main focus is going down to L.A. and trying to make the most of that."

That would be something...

 

[Darth Vitale]

The guy is already hinting around about wanting to play for another team. Ballsy.

 

[Al Smith]

You'd think he's been around enough to say the standard, "they've had a lot of success there the past few years, it's a great opportunity, and I'm looking forward to contributing any way I can" shtick. But I guess sometimes you can't take the Bruin out of the player.

 

[Pete Gas]

I bet Benning can't wait to give Lucic some absurd contract.

Better be careful saying that about Lucic.

I bet Benning can't wait to give Lucic some absurd contract.

He'll hand him a 5-year/26mill contract before calling him a franchise player.

´I had to take five injections directly into my eardrum

That sounds painful.

Funny to see him say he wants to play for the Canucks. Every Canucks fan I know absolutely despises him after the 2011 cup final.

I thought Lucic hated Vancouver since the fans had that riot after losing in the finals?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Didn't Lucic also have some stupid bar run in in Vancouver? They'd probably learn to love him really quickly until he failed to live up to the contract.

He did and he said he would never play there after that. I guess he's had a change of heart.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

He's also an idiot, so let's all take that into account as well.

So is Jim Benning. I can see it happening.

Anyone else also have a hard time believing that both octopi and parabola have passed away recently?

I believe it but don't.

They have? i got Octopi on ignore list.

edit- or not...must have taken that poster off then but i remember adding that name to my ignore list a long while back lol. RIP if true.

edit 2- Cancer? really? i hate cancer....RIP to Parabola aswell.

I just found out about both of them today. Octopi was one of the best/most recognizable people here. Very sad. Life is but a walking shadow.

 

[BHD]

Terrible news. Parabola was great to interact with during the Nucks' run in 2011. A mod that didn't take themselves too seriously.

Yeah, it's tough to wrap your head around it.

Octopi especially for me, since I had so many (good natured) arguments with her over the years about various Penguins/Capitals/Wing related topics.

I didn't interact with parabola quite as much, it's sort of similar though, just someone with a good sense of humor that stuck out when people on here take things way too seriously and get pissy with each other over everything.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Yup, but with Benning now in Vancouver with his connection with Lucic he will give him a ridiculous amount of money to sign there next summer assuming Lucic walks from LA which I don't see them keeping having to extend Kopitar

 

[WickedWrister]

Damn that really sucks about parabola and octopi. I still have an infraction from parabola in my hfboards inbox from 2009...rest in peace

Quick is overrated. People are voting him ahead of Bobrovsky and Varlamov in the poll section.

well he's a better goalie than Bobrovsky and Varlamov. Bob might be close, but its not even close with Varly.
