Can't wait for those glorious passes that lead to point blank chances for the opposition.
Best playmaker we ever had.

For the love of all that's good and righteous, we hope not. To be fair to Barker, he wasn't quite as pillow-chewingly bad as he was the first couple of games, but he's still a hell of a long way from good.

And please guys, just win.
maybe then av will be fired?
He gets turned inside out at least once a game. Bad skater, terrible speed, non-existent pivoting ability. He's like a pylon with a basic computer chip. He shouldn't be in the NHL at all; I'd honestly rather have MAG.
Scary, isn't it? A defenseman who's worse at defense than Gragnani.
Mind you, Gragnani was a sad case. He just missed his time. He was born in the wrong century, that's all. If he'd been born in the 1300's or 1400's, he'd have been just the guy to strike out into the vast, unexplored reaches of the world, discover places, and then name them after himself. He's just got that kind of spirit. He's the kind of guy who says: "What's over there? Way, way over there?" and then goes to find out. Where those around him say: "Why?" or "Seriously, why?" or even "What the hell is wrong with you? WHY?!", he says: "Why not?" Danger? Peril? Carefully designed hockey special teams set plays? Mere speed bumps on the road of life to intrepid souls such as his. He'd drop whatever he was doing, sail halfway around the world, discover Hawaii, and name it Gragnaniland. Why? Just because. Sure, his father would say: "Idiot boy, I sent you to the barn for eggs and you return six months later with a sack of macadamia nuts. WTF?!" But to the rest of the world, he'd have nailed his name in the pages of history as the man who discovered Gragnaniland.
Barker on the other hand is nowhere near as entertaining. We really need to just bite the bullet and make him a PP specialist. Just hope like hell he can somehow scramble to the bench if the play goes back the other way. It's like the red line has some secret switch that deactivates his brain.
I've seen this Gragnani bit before. Really hope you're quoting yourself and not ripping someone off! Am too lazy to check though.

All me. *insert smug AV smirk here*
Busted it out before in the trade section but hadn't posted it here. Maybe I'll retire it now if it's recognizable.
I first wrote a different variation on the Canes' board when I heard he signed there. That was a much rougher, spontaneous version; the above's the refined copy.
*edit* In the original post on the Canes' board I said Gragnani looked like a bulldog who chased one too many parked cars when he's got his helmet off. That should predate any other appearances just in case anyone actually does want to check.
Anyone see this already? Canucks are getting sued by a sports pyschologist. Sounds like some greasy shenanigans behind the scenes...

Im starting to dislike management more and more.
Weaseled the guy. LOL.
Ask anybody in the construction business about the Aquilinis, if you are interested.
