ugly shot of Britney "No Talent" Spears

:conspire:
What does your unhealthy obsession with Britney Spears have to do with your trolling in the Canucks section?

Here is PDO's latest drawing of him and Britney.

PDO is on the right. :D

The picture I paid Craigs mom with...
PDO is on the right. :D

I thought that picture of her fit in with the other two ;]

OTOH, I don't really see how posting an article from an unbiased website which should be of intrest to Canuck fans in the Canuck forum is trolling...

I'd say the Josh Green post was more trolling than this, but you Nuck fans are just so cute :D

[Matt Cooke]

What was the need for posting this?

Besides, I don't understand how Oilists believe their system is so deep. Apart from Schremp, Pouliot and MAYBE Cogliano, the rest of the Oilers prospects are dice. Dubnyk is straight up sh!t and I'd much rather have the likes of Cory Schnieder minding my net.

The Vancouver Canucks have equal talent to the names mentioned. So, they don't have a long list of past big name CHL'ers who will likely go nowhere, like the Oilers do. Luc Bourdon and Ryan Kesler will both be regulars, whereas guys like Cory Schneider, Fedor Federov and Jason King, only time will tell.

If you want to troll over a teams prospects and appear feasible, take a look at Toronto.

I'll talk Oiler prospects with you any day, but not in this thread.

What's the need for posting this.. hm.. I don't know!

Oh yeah; maybe so Canuck fans can get an idea about their prospects from a legitimate source? It's not like I wrote the article; it's an article written by a guy who follows the Canucks prospects and serves the purpose to inform the average fan. I noticed that it was published the day that I found it, so I figured I'd share and start some discussion, but I guess that's too much to ask for :rolleyes: . Are you referring to it as trolling because it's not insanely positive? Go ahead, find a legitimate source and post any article you want on the Oilers.. that's not trolling.

Last I checked I didn't have to be a fan of the Canucks to post in this part of the forum?

[Newfie John]

Cry me a river guys this is not trolling! If he came in and said that you're prospects are garbage in an obvious way to troll, then I'd understand. He posted an article and said "ouch". You're right, this is the Vancouver Canucks section. But is it trolling whenever we say anything negative abou them? If so I think I could find an infraction by everyone who is complaining here by looking at the leaf section alone...... probably.

Yep. And speaking of team's prospects there is a Leaf's draft review up a Hockey's Future. I haven't read it yet but could post it for you Leafers if you'd like. Last I heard you weren't able to access their site for some reason.

Hand me a tissue, thanks :cry: :cry:

Alright. Think for a moment, that PDO was yourself, and you posted this in the sens section.."ouch" is the only word used.

Don't you think some of the sens fans would be a little..not pissed..but on alert? :nod:

PDO has mentioned his dislike for the Canucks, many a time(and thats quite alright, divisional rivalries)....The way he posts this in the Canucks section..using the word "ouch"..is to imply a negative tone

If he posted it, and said something like.."I found this, thought it was an interesting read"..

[MadDevil]

I think some Canuck fans need to grow thicker skins if something like this really bothers them. I'm assuming that PDO was simply stating an opinion, which the last time I checked, was allowed on a message board. The wording maybe wasn't the best, but I doubt he meant any offense by his statement.

Of course, I'm used to people ripping my favorite team constantly, so maybe I'm just used to things like that.:laughing:

Seriously..I'm not offended..far from it. I also know Brian didn't mean any offense

What I was arguing was the fact if it was minor "trolling" or not.. :laughing: :nod:

[PDO]

I'm not going to get in a pissing contest over this.. I'll just say I agree with MD and NJ* and leave it at that.

* What the hell are the chances of an Oiler, Devil and Leaf fan all agreeing on something?

:conspire:

Trolling? I'm confused.

"The Canucks system is notorious for lacking star power and forwards with great offensive potential."

Is that the offending troll sentence?

BTW... these un-airbrushed Britney pictures are giving me a new appreciaton for the genius of airbrushers. :]

If so I think I could find an infraction by everyone who is complaining here by looking at the leaf section alone...... probably.I agree. Lately anything negative said about a certain team by a certain member gets thrown into the 'trolling' bin by several other members. It's really annoying that whenever I make a not so pro-Leaf statement, I'm a troll. Whenever PDO says something nagative about Vancouver, he's a troll. If Newfie John criticizes Ottawa, that's trolling too (although he posts more in that Sens' forum than anywhere or anyone eles ;) ). I just don't get it. Relax people and like MadDevil said, it is time to "grow thicker skins."

Moving on.

[Iced Tea]

Jeez, I was kidding around. No one saw the freakin smilie? Plus my friendly jab about PDO and his fantasy girl, Britney "Growth spurt, my ass" Spears should have made it obvious that I could have given a rat's heinee about his thread.

If PDO wants to post the Canucks crappy prospects, he can do it every week for all I care, I wasn't going to do it. I have bigger concerns, like Cloutier sucking big time, Nonis's sandwich intake versus getting some more defensemen, and stupid rumours about 3 way trades involving the Canucks.

Some members need to calm down, shut the computer off and go outside.

[KB in Kelowna]

You know what is realy funny. Going and looking up old back issues of the Hockey News and other publications and looking at their prospect reports, farm system reports and draft rankings. Like Trevor Kidd being ranked higher than Martin Brodeur in the early 90's. Or Shawn Antoski being called the next great Power Forward, seriously from 91/92 IIRC. These assessments are interesting but there are many great teams on paper that never won a cup either.

I lifted this from another site:"Yep, 1999 saw the Oilers with yet another bad looking Top 10 Prospects list of their own

1. Chris Hajt(!)
2. Alex Henry
3. Michael Henrich
4. Shawn Horcoff
5. Dan LaCouture
6. Michel Riesen
7. Jason Chimera
8. Paul Comrie
9. Brad Norton
10. Matthieu Descoteaux

?and their top pick that offseason? Jani Rita? it?s hard to build any franchise when you draft and develop players that poorly." And no this is not trolling as the Canucks took years to get over the Mike Penny as chief scout era.

Bah.. forcing me into OT comments.. and mods too! ;)

Barry Fraser was brutal. Plain and simple, you can not draft from freaking Mexico and be successful. Glen Sather was here a good 8 too many years.

I agree about both those guys. They had a couple of terrific drafts in the early 80's and Sather at least has riden on that reputaion ever since. If there were more Calgary fans on this board iI would have posted their prospect report from 99. No offence intended Bri.

None taken, the Oilers prospects were brutal under the Fraser regime, and the good ones we did get were traded because they were a) evaluated poorly (Satan) or b) given unrealistical expectations (Arnott). I'll openly admit we sucked at drafting in the 90's... Lowe's regime (thus far) is a big breath of fresh air though.
