kipwinger 8,522 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 SHOTS FIRED This thread is great! I'm liking all the posts. ALL OF THEM I know we are all having some fun right now. But I think its important to take a minute to think about those most affected by this. Of course I'm speaking about Brian and the rest of the McGuffin family. I hope they know that through trials ahead, I personally will never forget the significance they've had on me. The name McGuffin will forever be seared in my memory. 3 Nev, BottleOfSmoke and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Guys (and gals), this is all part of a great plan. They waive McGrattan to tank it, get Connor McDavid, put him on a line with McGrattan next season and win it all. 3 BottleOfSmoke, kipwinger and Nev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 If Kenny picks him up, I take back everything negative I've ever said about him and this team. Realistically, I hope someone picks him up and he sticks around the league. Why did Calgary waive him? He was basically a regular on their 4th line last year. What happened? 2 Hockeymom1960 and BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 I'm not a Thornton fan by any means, but Shawn is a much better hockey player than Brian IMOHe doesn't know the difference. Anyone who fights more than 3 times in their career=unskilled meathead goon. 2 BottleOfSmoke and kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,522 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 He doesn't know the difference. Anyone who fights more than 3 times in their career=unskilled meathead goon. Well one of the two people you're talking about just got waived because he's EXACTLY an unskilled meathead goon, and the other didn't have a place on the only team in the league that 100% embraces unskilled meathead goons. So what point are you trying to make? That one of the two of them is a good hockey player? They're just different levels of unskilled, meatheaded, goon. Hence nobody (other than perennially horrible Florida) wants them. 1 BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mckinley25 677 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Don't worry, if there is an expansion the league might just be watered down enough for the goons to get their jobs back. Though teams may prefer Cory Emmerton instead. 2 Nev and BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I doubt the Panthers were the only team interested in Thornton this past summer. 2 BottleOfSmoke and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I doubt the Panthers were the only team interested in Thornton this past summer. Nope, I bet team (the league over) were lining up to sign a slow, talentless, 37 year old dips*** who squirts people with water bottles from the bench. And of course he chose them, not because they were the only team that was interested, but because the Florida Panthers have a long and storied history in the NHL. I mean, who wouldn't want to play for them? Edited January 9, 2015 by kipwinger 1 BottleOfSmoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt tons of teams were lining up, but I remember Bob MacKenzie saying something to the extent that several teams would pitch him offers during the summer, which is more than merely "Perennially horrible Florida".
