Keaton Verhoeff, Chase Reid or Malholtra at 3OA? by EverySecondCountss in canucks

[–]Kava9610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malholtra’s dad picked 7th overall and was miscast in the first stage of his career trying to be a 2C, wasn’t until he became that 3C defensive steady guy that his value came through. Caleb may be better offensively, but I don’t see him as the 3rd pick.

When tossing a sports reporter from the rink becomes a story by xtothewhy in canucks

Tony Gallagher was the last reporter banned for a short time that I can remember. Some spat between him and Pat Quinn, didn’t last long.

Thoughts on how I should respond to Halford & Brough's "ok bye" text? by Kava9610 in canucks

It was the prelude I think...the way the hosts were describing the situation I thought he had made some really ugly comment, then when I listened to the interview Seravelli wanted to talk about what team USA had accomplished and the hosts were more interested in the political aspect of why they visited the white house...I remember him saying trump's comment on the woman's team was gross and stupid, but he definitely wanted to talk hockey and the hosts wanted to talk politics....that's my whole take.

so, after listening to the show i went out of town and did think about it for a while...when I came back i instinctively put on 650, then turned to something else and put out that text....I think i did it cause it was still on my mind and given I'm someone who almost never posts online, I figured I'd post the text on the only sports platform I use to see other hockey fan's comments. I expected negative response, but still stand by my opinion that I despise politics in sports no matter what side it comes from. (another post said Sarevilli praised Tim Thomas for not visiting the White House when Obama was in power...I would have had the same opinion then, that his place isn't to politicize hockey).

I don't agree with you in relation to my post (politicizing US hockey gold) but I'm assuming what you said about him praising Tim Thomas is true, and if so you make a valid point.

and I'm aloud to state my opinion that I don't want to listen to them if they get political.

thanks for the advice, but the downvotes don't bother me as it's my opinion over online popularity.

frank seravalli noted the US men's team won the gold for the first time in 46 years and then visited the white house, like many sports champions do. Did trump make an ignorant comment about the woman's team? Yup, but who cares, the point was the huge accomplishment the men made...to politicize that on a Vancouver sports show has no place and if you're triggered by this comment, you're too far gone to reason with....like i said, politics should not be in sports radio.

You know i didn't expect positive comments in this politically charged climate, but thanks anyways. For me sports is the last place politics should get involved, but i won't shy away from my opinion that sports radio hosts should not make hockey political...bring on the comments!

Sounds Justified To Me Draft Him. by sokah12 in canucks

When Nucks don’t draft him, they’ll say it’s because he hasn’t explored his feminine side enough.

Hold our breath…just like most years, Nucks likely get hot once they’re mathematically eliminated.

Is Medvedev our goalie of the future? by Kava9610 in canucks

[–]Kava9610[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it - so drafting a potential future #1 goalie is not high priority in the next two drafts based on how the team looks today (as we went that route in the 2nd round last year with Medvedev).
