Speaking of a la carte.

Anyone in Canada on here try out Vmedia? It's not fully a la carte as you have to buy a basic package first, and you have to switch to their internet service as well.

a bit off topic

As a canucks fan I've been thinking lately that the Kesler trade had a lot more to it than just him wanting to get a another crack at the cup. Part of me feels he grew quite bitter being part of a Canadian club situated in a very pro team Canada city.
I think losing twice in row to team Canada was the final nail in the coffin for him. The reason I feel this way is primarily due to the fact that the trade rumors didn't pop up until pretty much right after team USA lost against team Canada in sochi, combine that with the fact that part of his trade agreement excluded any possible trade to a another Canadian club. IMO having one extremely bad season shouldn't be enough for any player to book it for greener pastures.

But why wait when greener pastures are available to reach immediately?

Bring your resume or cover letter to the meet up and we'll be a second set of eyes.

English majors ought to be good for something.

Better than me, where I submit it and think, "Well, shit, I'm actually not qualified for this. Don't I look like an ass now?"

Gonna be an interesting year in Pittsburgh with all of the front office changes. I'm taking a wait and see approach before passing judgment. Giving Johnston a chance to show what he can do with an NHL team.

wsox is the worst NHL player ever. The team I was on beat his team 13-2. (It was really 13-7 but our goalie was out past the faceoff dots on 5 of those goals)

Or maybe he just wanted to play on a team that has a better chance of winning

the problem I see is his disdain for the team and organization wasn't something that had been brewing for any significant time, this was something that pop up rather quickly and at a time coming off yet another disappointment at the Olympics, I dunno it just seems a bit suspect for the time in which he finally thew in the towel.
You would think shitting the bed back to back in the playoffs would have been more of an incentive for him to fly the coop, yet even through two of the worst playoff runs in canucks history not once did we ever get any kind of hint or notion of a possible trade.

It doesn't have to be this slow-brewing thing. A terrible season could quickly sour someone.

And who knows if this was really from just last season? It could've been brewing for a while, and just wasn't reported until last season.

I really wish more people would call EA out on this bullshit. They absolutely need to be raked over the coals for what they did.

Yeah, and the only time that whole game you weren't getting your ass kicked is when you fought me and that was only because I haven't played this game in 11 months. :lol

Congrats on the all star thingy though. Did you print out a screenshot so you could bring it to school for show and tell?

Like it or lump it, that was part of the Canucks culture post-2011.

If he tries diving in Anaheim, he'll get a thump in the pants from Perry.

I think we need to disagree here but both be madly in love with each other still. Is that possible?
