[LolClarkson*]

I have a bad feeling about this thread.

Booth has enough trouble to deal with as it is. Can't we all just give him a break and hope he starts playing some good hockey?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Can't read the article, wouldn't anyway. Anyone worth their salt knows Spector is a Canuck-hating joke of a reporter anyhow.

 

[Golden Boy]

Uh... Who is this guy again? AV said that Booth may have overtrained if anything else... And i'd take his opinion over some wishy washy writer for sportsnet. Maybe instead of making bigoted comments, he could actually perform what people call "meaningful journalism". Seriously, sports journalism these days is a ****ing joke.

Watch that for Seahawks Guard, John Moffitt's opinion on Sports media. It's pretty insightful.

 

[shortshorts]

Spector is a hack.

 

[Jyrki]

Didn't AV himself say Booth's injury was due to overtraining?

Our media truly is the worst.

He called me an idiot and blocked me on twitter for saying that to him, politely I may add. Case closed.

He's Oilers media.

 

[Respect Your Edler]

I'm not giving his article a hit.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Worst journalist ever. He's such an Oilers fanboy.

 

[Raistlin]

I used to consume any hockey related articles without a second thought, but I've had enough of Spector's drivel, and realized that I never learn anything new from his stuff. I understand finally that not clicking on his articles speak the loudest.

 

[Canucker]

It always amazes me that these guys still have jobs, they are so easily replaced by bloggers...even half-wit bloggers can write the same drivel and you have to pay them peanuts.

 

[Curved Space]

Didn't I read that Booth visited numerous US states over the summer-fall seeking hunting locations? But he also supposedly skated 4 (?) times a week. And other than skating, there are fitness workouts. Are these two scenarios compatible.

Sorry. Just asking.

He blocked me too. I've gotten "Cox Blocked" as well, ******-nozzles...Dan Tencer is next, followed by Haggarty...I take it as a badge of honor to be blocked by them.

Fantastic article, agree 100% I dont like Booth as a player or as a person and him getting hurt in testing is a gigantic joke and shows his commitment to being a high level athlete. He plays a STUPID style of hockey and I cant wait until hes sent packing.

Doesnt take any athletic ability or skill to sit on a chair until the bear is brought in to shoot at close range for no reason other than ''fun.''

Doesn't surprise me one bit. That city seems to spit out intelligent, articulate journalists like Tencer and Spector.

I wouldn't exactly take everything that is put out into the media as gospel. That's what I'll say about that.

Not sure if serious?

If God didn't want David Booth shooting bears, he would have made them bullet/arrow proof.

100% Serious, David Booth has done NOTHING to deserve the amount of defence he gets on this forum.

He gave us nothing in his last 20 games including playoffs and then showed up to camp clearly out of shape. His contract is big, he doesn't mesh with his line mates, and he's a preachy injury prone joke.

He has given us nothing and doesn't deserve any respect. Wow he can shoot bears, so can anybody else. As a hockey player he's been a disappointment for us.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Take David Pratt and make it so the only "reporting" he does is making fun of the Oilers and Flames (instead of the Leafs) that would be a Canuck media person analogy for Mark Spector.

He's like a typical Vancouver media member, but who gains ratings by going after any Canuck whenever possible.

Yet i'd still rather Booth on the 2nd line than Raymond... all day, every day...
