"All this Cup talk about town is counterproductive in some ways," Kevin Bieksa said today. "I can tell you there isn't one guy in this room who has even thought about the playoffs. I mean, have you looked at our schedule, we've got what, 14,15 games in January. We're just trying to get through the month, honestly we haven't even thought about a Cup in here. It's play, day off, practice, play. Man we're just trying to survive the month."
No shit. You tell 'em, Bieksa. And for even more WTF Vancouver media today: Botchford feels that there is still a mini controversy about Luongo not doing the circle skate salute to the fans after being named the first star in Calgary. Oh really? Last time I checked no one gave a shit. Do you? Check out Luongo's response here. He remains defiant. I say good. *Edit: Vancitydan posted a masterful piece about this earlier. Check it out.

Let me hear that broken record again, press repeat
It’s the same shit all the time with the media in Vancouver. They try to make a “controversy” out of anything. No, no one gives a shit that Lu didn’t come out for the lap, only “reporters” who are trying to sell papers by blowing everything out of the water.
And good response from Bieksa. Who knows if it’s actually true (I find it a bit hard to believe that no one has even thought a tiny bit about it), but that is the right mindset.

Does anyone seriously give a shit whether Luongo skated out on the ice for 5 seconds? Seriously? Anyone other than the mental midgets that populate the comments section at the Province or those that call into the Team 1040? This is such a non-issue that it’s embarrassing to see it become the focus of so much attention.

The guy was pissed
He didn’t feel he’d given his best perfomance and didn’t want to celebrate. His perogative as far as I’m concerned. It’d be nice if journalists had the same capacity for self criticism as hockey players do.
I think the article about Luongo was meant to be read as light-hearted entertainment. You guys are taking it too seriously.
It was more of a joke from Botchford’s point of view, than a serious piece of news. Sheesh, you guys need to take a chill pill. :) Hockey is not supposed to mean life or death, at all times. Bantering and joking is also part of the sport….but you people (I mean blue-blooded Canadians), wouldnt’ understand that.

Obviously they think about it...
Men are thinking about sex on a second to second basis. It would be absurd to think that the odd ‘hope, dream or fantasy’ of holding the Cup over their head this spring never popped in their mind. But yeah, leave it to a guy like Botch to blow this shit out of proportion.
Cody-freaking-Hodgson!
Botch’ did OK, as usual. It was mainly the Sun guys that are making a stink.
Oh, and of course the TEAM guys, but that kinda goes without saying.
Botch’s article seems to have more balance. But yeah, nothing but a shitstorm in a puddle.

Botch’s article wasn’t actually that bad. Ziemer, on the other hand, made it ridiculous.

Between Vancouver media and the vocal minority of people who don’t seem to have the slightest clue, it truly does get embarrassing. There seems to be no level main stream won’t stoop to.
But here we are talking about it. So I guess…mission accomplished. Congratulations, asshats.

Ha. In all fairness to you, it is impossible at times to ignore the inanity of these articles.
Thank god you put it up so I have somewhere to vent about it. I’d be punting kittens otherwise :)
Gossip is gossip. As is controversy. It sells. Not a new concept and will never change. Frustrating though at times, but I have to be careful because I’d be a hypocrite if I said I wasn’t guilty of doing it. (In regards to the team)

From that angle, most of us could be considered hypocritical at times. I know I’ve been guilty.
But I disagree. Finding a talking point during a lull, speculation, rosterbation…are all but impossible to avoid at times, if you care anything about the team. Throwing in some levity can also make it cathartic (the reason why I prefer coming on here and getting info from the contributors).
Paid members of the media, riling up the masses with inflammatory items, especially when there are so many good things going on, strikes me as irresponsible.
So wait...
No one is actually punting kittens in regards to this issue?
Wow
reading the comments in that botchford article actually gave me angina. Holy fuck reading that makes me glad Nucks Misconduct is here for Canucks fans over 12 and with a clue.

is a shame. A brilliantly funny movie that highlights just how embarrassingly bad the Billy Bob Thornton version was. Walter Matthau was his usual grumpy self and the kid who plays Tanner Boyle makes this movie:
Coach Morris Buttermaker: [looks at Tanner’s black eye] What the hell happened to you, Tanner?
Engelberg: Tanner got into a fight
[because of the first game loss]
Coach Morris Buttermaker: Who with?
