The Vancouver Media Thread | Part VIII

[Lindgren]

Eldebrink should have been. Probably the most poorly-handled player in franchise history. Swedes consider him to be one of their greatest defenders ever.

I had no idea!

 

[Jyrki21]

For all people find Tomlinson to be kind of meh, he deadpanned one of the funniest lines I've heard in a while last night.

He referred to Shorthouse as a former goaltender, to which Shorty laughed and said something like "I guess you must have been at the Kerrisdale Jamboree of 1978", and Tomlinson unflinchingly goes "Heard about it."

I stand with Canucks Kate.

Who was that local realtor that put that garbage about her to quit her job and be on onlyfans? Let’s put that fool on blast.

There’s been a local guy online for a decade who picks random asian names (fake or real) and tweets horrific shit. Mostly about homeless people.

That wasn’t actually the realtor. It was that troll using his name as a front

Tomlinson has been fine. I genuinely believe Shorthouse was mad about Garrett being let go and was making it hard on DT early.

After the first month or so, the chemistry started to improve.

Obviously still not Cheech and is inferior to Ferraro but yeah

Probably Brandon Gee Moore. Only half kidding.

That makes a lot of sense... there was a terrible twitter user a while back who would post the weirdest shit, racist covid theories etc. Had the name of a Vancouver realtor and I always wondered how he stayed in business or kept clients. Probably the same guy.

(Or actually a terrible person who's career ended because of his online presence. )

 

[Vector]

Really fun interview that confirms and expands on some of the lore around these guys.

[Huggy43]

Brough being so hung up on the phrase “trying to sign” makes me laugh.

If anyone wants a laugh themselves;
I highly suggest looking at the community tab of Sekeres/Price on their YouTube channel. The way they reply to some of the comments isn’t helping them grow an audience. Yikes.

We got John Garrett for Eldebrink so there's that.

[lawrence]

I originally said I won't post 2011 videos as that run still gives me ptsd.

I watched by myself and I ended up watching the entire thing because...

i have no words... they were just that good. If you ask me, the 2011 team would have destroyed the new york rangers and the 94 Canucks in a best of 7.

well anyways, here's a tribute to the 2011 team. It's only fair if the 82 and 94 got their highlites posted, so does the 2011.

enjoy.

Look at all these old bois coming out of their cave now

Rob Simpson seems completely insufferable. MacEwen has problems with others in the local media (mostly Sekeres and Price) but I’d also probably mess with Simpson if I could. Other members of the local media don’t like him either.

 

[TruGr1t]

Always wondered if anyone paid attention to this guy, or if he was just yelling at clouds. He’s certainly been at it for quite a while now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Not calling the Canucks a paragon of virtue or anything when it comes to the press, but Simpson seems like an ambulance chaser.

 

[geebster]

Whether I like Simpson or not they should tell him what he violated in the rules. Otherwise there's no reason to believe it isn't strictly personal or the team silencing a guy they don't like in the media. You should welcome as many reporters as want to cover the team, more eyes - even critical ones - isn't a bad thing in the big picture, provided they are honest brokers.

I've never been a fan of his but that is some BS there.

 

[Peen]

cmac is obviously a questionable person but simpson’s two articles on this have been awful. just way too much woe is me and unnecessary put downs of other smaller local journalists that make me have zero sympathy for him

there’s a way he could have approached this that would have painted him favourably but he chose to be a moron so he’s no better than the guy he’s going after

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This seems like Batch clapping back at Simpson a bit.

Have not followed local media for a while. Not since like June 2022 when I stopped driving to work. I know about the layoffs at SN and it's down to a skeleton. S&P doing their online thing but I don't follow them. No clue how they are doing. See the YT clips of D&D.

It's a rough market out here given that it's pretty much all Canucks, very little Lions, Whitecaps, Van Giants.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Batch is being a p***y. Saying something but nothing at the same time.

(Ironically is he afraid of the consequences of saying something someone doesn’t like? Because media should ever be afraid to say what they think the truth is)

 

[credulous]

batchelor owes his entire career to macewen. who cares what he thinks

 

[EpochLink]

Twitter beef is useless, just calling out bullshit cause they mad at someone.

Hey, lets do it old school 90's style when we had asian gangsters go on local news calling out beef.

 

[iceburg]

I swear, if he hasn’t cost them actual dollars and cap space, Dhaliwal has at least cost them grief in negotiations. He’s such a shill for agents.

That's his only source. Agents use him cause he has a platform and they can get their message out.

Vancouver with Petey, Hughes, Miller, Demko have to make some hard decisions on how to fill in the balance of the roster. Who else gets well paid and where do they have to find some deals on. Reality of the business.
