Thomas drance

A few years ago, Thomas Drance was everywhere in the Vancouver Canucks media market.

He is a guest on too many shows, The VanCast is unbearable with him on it, his pale face reminiscent of a clown is a major eyesore for television. An analytics dork who can't skate backwards and thinks Brad Hunt is a god. A wannabe of a person who is no longer with us. The questions at press conferences are long winded and bias, with shocking regularity, Petey even called him out recently. I know Columbus is kinda boring but I dunno if I'd do that to them. Edmonton on the other hand.. I'm not a fan of Drance.

Before the season kicks off, I wanted to chat with Drance about his journey and reintroduce him to Canucks fans after over two years away from Vancouver. Finally, what are you most excited about for the coming Canucks season and for The Athletic as well? But when you think about guys like Jeff Brown, Jyrki Lumme, on and on, there's a pretty rich history — Doug Lidster — a pretty rich history in Vancouver of quality, puck-moving defencemen. My tenure there persisted from through , so for seven years, even while I was also working for Sportsnet, or The Score, or whatever, CanucksArmy was kind of my home, or my baby, or the thing that I cared the most about, on some level. But for the most part, this was a pretty natural transition for me. Are those still the types of players you are drawn towards and the stories you like to tell? I'm not a fan of Drance. A Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup in twenty years. I agree that Drance can be a bit smug which is what I think takes away from some of his more reasonable takes on things, especially when they deal with negative circumstances.

But, you know, when the opportunity presented itself, it seemed like something that would be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and a unique experience. What made you make that jump to working PR and communications?

Rick Dhaliwal and Thomas Drance suggest that both players are in play for the Canucks.

It's a rule. I was pretty deeply involved in the succession there over the years, and maintaining that site, making sure that there was a programmer in the fold, and making sure that it was a destination for like-minded hockey writers or hockey brains interested in analytics and exploring the game in a different way. Look, this team means a lot to a lot of the people I grew up with, obviously, I didn't just sort of tune out. Before the season kicks off, I wanted to chat with Drance about his journey and reintroduce him to Canucks fans after over two years away from Vancouver. The vague and crazy rules of the NHL are completely lost on the Calgary Flames, and that's evident with the recent and poorly handled Ryan O'Reilly deal. Edited December 14, by PhillipBlunt. And on and on, continuing through Ryan Biech , who is currently, I'm sure, wearing a Fanatics team-issue Canucks half-zip in Rogers Arena. I'd say the players that I always have a soft spot for are the underappreciated winger who helps drive play for a second or third line, especially a Jannik Hansen type, perhaps, or a puck-moving defenseman. Captures a lot. And then you watch all of Caillou in Spanish to make sure there's no errors on the disc.
