[The Darkest Canuck]

it's nice to see you're still following me around playing your silly little tool points game and all, it was almost funny the first time you did it. it's especially nice to see you still personally attacking me after i declared that i wished for a more peaceful hipbase and started to make amends with the C-man from C-town, so i'll tell you this: you're like a filthy, wretched, disgusting little Chihuahua, following me around everywhere i go, humping my leg with all of your might, it was once somewhat amusing to watch your pathetic attempts fall short of accomplishing anything, but that was then and this is now, and now i'm telling you that it's time to get off me, get the fuck out of here, and go chase cars on the freeway you worthless little piece of shit, mmmkay? GIT! GO HOME! FUCK OFF!

5 points for impersonating an officer

:lol: :thumb: Sorry, I don't even know Darkest or have anything against him, so this is not an agreement with the tool point allocation. But that was pretty funny.

Looks like Trevor Linden might be forced to either call it a career or be branded a hypocrite (again), if the latest polls are any indication...the Canadian fans support the owners over the players by a FOUR TO ONE margin...and, if the season was canceled (and it will be), the fans would blame the players over the owners by a 5 to 2 margin.

As for the Linden Effect...shouldn't Jeremy "Nobody should make more than $7 million a year...coincidentally as much as I make" Roenick have something names after him by now????

Oh don't worry - The Roenick Effect has been around for years - its for mouthpieces who talk big but have ZERO Cups to their name.

I still maintain the best smack-talk episode in sports was this exchange that went on between Roenick and Roy in the media during the playoffs back in '96. The background is that the Avs won a playoff game against the Hawks in OT and at some point in OT, Roenick got tripped while on a breakway, but being OT and all there was no call.

Media guy: "Were you thankful when Roenick got tripped up on the breakaway."
Roy: "Didn't matter to me. I would have stopped him."

- Roy's comment was relayed to JR.

JR: "Ask Patrick what happened on that goal in Game 1" (or something to that affect about a goal he'd scored earlier in the series."

- this was relayed to Roy.

Roy: "Tell Jeremy I can't hear him. My two Stanley Cup rings are blocking my ears."

Classic! And I'm no Habs/Avs/Roy fan, but damn, do put-downs get better than that?

People in Vancouver are just plain weird. Glad I got out before the Spell of Linden hit me.

Respect.

It's what NHL Players Association president Trevor Linden hoped to be afforded from his peers and the public during an often-bitter lockout that has tested the mettle of the veteran Vancouver Canucks forward.

And according to a telephone poll of Greater Vancouver fans and non-fans of the NHL, conducted by Toronto-based COMPAS Research Inc., respect is exactly what Linden has received -- even though efforts to salvage the 2004-05 season may fail as early as today.

In the poll of 339 residents conducted by professional interviewers between Jan. 28 and Feb.2, respect for Linden has increased among 41 per cent of NHL die-hard fans, while 30 per cent of non-fans also say they respect him more.
