A couple years ago while watching a Canucks game with Lee/Weekes doing the play-by-play, I tweeted Kevin Weekes with some constructive criticism...something like "Hey man, you were an actual NHL goalie...how about you bring some of that into your color commentary?" because if you've ever listened, all he does is say incredible generic things. Siri has more of a personality than that guy. I don't think I said anything rude.
Then he comes back and calls me a hater and an internet bully, saying something like "Who cares what you think? My producers like what I do so I don't need to listen to some guy on the internet."
Yep, they like you enough to replace you with Kelly Hrudey...a real NHL goalie.

Lol what a fucking baby. Way to treat fans of the game like that, eh
Pretty cocky one at that. Took up CBC's job when he couldn't land a job as a starter. Felt he was too good to be a backup. Maybe he feels like he's too good to be a backup colour guy now? lol

That Oilers' homer Mark Spector writes another article to bash the Canucks. -cannot believe that Sportsnet hires this idiot to write this garbage for people to read.
-writing off the Canucks already even before the season started? Johnny Canuck should use his axe to tell this guy to write an balanced article that gives a better assessment of Vancouver. As if the Oilers are even close to winning a Cup compared to Vancouver.

He is right that we are going to have trouble especially when we start the season without Kesler and Booth.
But I am getting sick and tired of people saying our second line is Raymond, Ebbett, Kassian, and Schroeder. Yes they are going to be filling in "Kesler's/Booth's" line. But we have other players that can chip in like Hansen, Malhotra, and Higgins.
Anyone see Zajac $5.75 million 8 year contract? Makes me love Burrows even more. Burrows is one big hearted Monsterrrrr

TML assets in Luongo trade spec (Bozak, Kadri + pick) unchanged since fall reports. Canucks did not up demand after GM change.
