Apparently more bad officiating in this game.

Atlanta scores. 2-1. Little.

Burrows into the empty net and the Canucks set a new franchise record with 107 points!

disneyland?

Yup. Downside is spring break at Disneyland, waiting in line so my kid can meet rapunzel,
The upside is that the national cheerleading championships are taking place here somewhere, and the park is LOADED with em.

But I have missed the last two nucks games
Oh well, better now than the playoffs.

apparently Fleury deleted his twitter account because it got very ugly ... yes, people went there (nudge nudge ... Graham James)

Nothing like the anonymity of the internet to bring out the false bravado of people...

Ill post it here instead of starting another thread

I said Theo deleted his twitter account but I should have known better ... he doesnt run and hide ... alot of the putz's who left horrible comments did though





This past week, former NHL star Theo Fleury opined on Twitter that the league-leading Vancouver Canucks were a likely first-round upset victim. Fleury isn’t a fan of Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo. We heard similar comments from Fleury when he was a guest on a radio show we hosted recently.

Hey, everyone’s entitled to his opinion on Twitter – especially a player who starred at the top level of the NHL and won a Stanley Cup. But Fleury’s provocative comments brought out haters on Twitter with some of the most vile comments imaginable about a man who was sexually abused by his junior coach Graham James and who has battled substance addiction.

We’ll give Canucks fans the benefit of the doubt that the wits who soiled Twitter were not representing the vast fan base of the team. (This is also not the first time similar comments about Fleury have been posted on Twitter.)

Usually such bile is known only to the victim, but the uncensored Twitter has subjected the general public to this level of commentary. Sadly, Fleury himself is used to hearing such dreck (you might better understand why he and James’s other victims were reluctant to publicly reveal they’d been abused). In his Twitter account he shrugged off the comments. “@TheoFleury14 had to deal with years ago. They’ve sided with the sex offenders.”

Clearly it’s a stigma some people are not willing to forget. Which says more about the perpetrators of hate than it does about Fleury.

I actually watched this unfold. No, I don't follow the rat bastard, but a radio guy was retweeting most of it. The kid was apparently from Winnipeg, and Theo apparently direct messaged some threats to the kid. Apparently.
