You, sir, are the sole person in Vancouver who feels so benevolent towards Messier. He helped destroy the Canucks when he was an Oiler and a Ranger. He completed the job when he joined the Canucks.

FWIW I hated seeing him in a Canucks jersey. I would count myself lucky to spot Mess in an MLL although hopefully under more pleasant circumstances.

A great player is a great player no matter the jersey they wear, IMO.

Yes, that would seem to be the correct phrasing.

Ben Smith was on board 406 a few days ago as I boarded.

There were some VIPs in J so I am assuming he was there to do what he needed to do with regard to shmoozing or whatever.

Not at all. There was a legit VIP next to me with AC*VIP on the BP and the SD doted upon him and treated the other status members like regular J, including myself. It reminded me that AC*SM doesn't mean a whole lot.

IDK if she is a Canadian celebrity, but Halifamous for sure. El Jones, AC626, last Thursday evening.

Barf. That would be a prime reason to vacate the lounge and hit up the wine bar and sit with the plebs outside.

So which player would you not leave the lounge for?
