Still remember that goal like it was yesterday.


And the trade...where it was like...Zack Kassian? What??? Even if it ultimately didn't really amount to much for anyone.

Wasn’t there a time where the whole city was on the Kassian hype train?

I never even glanced at it during the Benning era. I can only imagine.

I think my time there was during the Burke era. I just remember a handful of posters who would try and have a conversation, and they’d get drowned out by a variety of lowest common denominator types.

I do vividly remember any time Matt Cooke came up that threads were derailed by fans gushing over how cute he was.

I never bothered with the CDC since I only became a fan much later than most. By that point, I was already here. HF was by far the best option for English Hab fans. So it made sense I just migrated a few sections down.

I did pop over there a little during the Benning era just out of curiosity though. There was a much bigger divide it seemed on whether he was doing a decent job or downright incompetent.

He was that ‘missing’ piece of a bruising power forward that this lacked since Bertuzzi, unfortunately he played like ass when he was here and also had other things going on in his life.

The next Lucic they said, the second coming of Bertuzzi they said.


Good grief.

There's another world where if Kassian is in a better place personally and we are better at developing players that he's some sort of playmaking top six enforcer

Like 2014-2020 kassian should have been putting up good numbers. He was effective at ES and he had the intelligence to be a PP playmaker as well.

I think if you simulate his career 1000 times, what it actually ended up as is like the 10th percentile of outcomes

No

Awwwwww poor Deb, the power hungry admin that would not let anyone actually challenge the Canucks management.

Deb ruined the forum

That isn’t the fault of the team. Kassian was an out of control party animal. Not saying you said that but it’s been said multiple times. The morons screwed up enough other shit that i can’t fault them for Kassian’s problems.

He should be a more skilled version of Marcus Foligno and making good coin right now. He salvaged a career but he could have been a difference maker.

Until perhaps 2020 there were quite a few who considered him brilliant. There was a thread about whether he was the best gm in the league about 3 years ago and posters that would refer to his moves as 3d chess. Towards the end of the Benning era things generally settled down and the divide was essentially what you describe.

Deb ruined the forum

Agreed but if it werent her it wouldve been another bootlicker who did ownerships dirtywork for free

 

[Brookbank]

I think the closure had something to do with the Rachel Dorrier situation. Not it specifically but what if there was theoretically libelous comments being posted on a team owned site ? That would open up the company to more trouble. An easy fix would be to just shut the forum down. So that's probably what happened.

It is always a tragedy when a forum shuts down from the early 2000's. Nothing beats forums. Certainly not "social media"

 

[EpochLink]

This was a CDC throwback

 

[Sedinery]

Deb ruined the forum

Complete koolaid drinker that abused her power as an admin. Banned people for made up reasons yet she was the the biggest abuser on the site.

That is very true. Question coaching, get warned. question the gm, get a warning

Complete propaganda puppet

Why what happened?

I jumped about 3 years ago but more lurk around here than anything

Why what happened?

They couldn't pry Vintage over so that's a black mark. Mods just kind of do what they want how they want and don't follow any actual guidelines so no coffee in the morning means bad mood and everyone gets a suspension. They don't follow prospects like they used to and every potential rumour is just the same 9 guys talking about how Petey needs to take a $13 million contract now and that garland and AB need to go so they can bring in Scott Walker or whatever.

It's basically like a 45 person echo chamber where some of the best and most knowledgeable people have either given up or been suspended

heh, I've gotten one infraction here and none there.

(to be fair, I mainly just lurk over there)

Could not agree more

She ruined the forum

try harder already

 

[Bonham]

Deb was the biggest canuck Karen.

Stopped posting there before she showed up but she was one of the main reasons I quit reading that forum altogether.

The prospects forum was excellent though and always had tons of knowledge and information to read.

 

[Sedinery]

I was a big poster on that site with over 10,000 likes and then called out Deb for flaming me and get permanently suspended by her. Completely used the suspend button for her own agenda

Karma Deb

Is Ryan Strome banned already over there at the new site? I stopped looking there for about a month & noticed he hadn't posted for a while?
