Idiots!

<< oo! shiny thing! | Main | good ol' Uncle John... >>

It's very rarely that you'll catch me blogging about sports, but this just couldn't escape. Brian Burke, the complete moron 'running' the Vancouver Canucks, traded away Brashear for some Czech guy from Philidelphia. Brashear! One of the few guys on the team that was sure to make the game interesting, if not successful.

If they're serious about running a good team, they need to really take a hard look at their management. Lord knows, we've changed everyone else.

let the bruiser go. surely the canucks
must still have someone to protect the
twins, cassels, naslund, and cloutier.
where's gino odjick these days?

Odjick was traded over a year ago... there's really no muscle left on the team with Brashear's trade. The Bobsey twins are goin' down hard. :)

Odjick's with the Habs now.

But I'd take a 28 goal scorer for a bruiser any day of the week. Good trade on Burke's part, I think.

A comment from a coworker, who's a hockey fan

"At least when the game was going poorly, they could throw Brashear on the ice for some entertainment."

:laughs: True enough. But it was still a good trade. I miss Brash, now and then (since he was a Hab, many years ago), but I prefer an exciting breakaway to a fight any night.

... although, when I'm at the game and a fight breaks out, you can bet I'm standing up and screaming "KICK HIS ASS, YOU PANSY BOY" along with the rest of them. ;)

If the canuckle heads running that ORG can't see the bennifit
ov a guy like Brashear, then you're doomed to suffer once in
the playoff's.
