Road roomies curse?

    Ok, so, before I begin, admins, if you guys see that this needs to be moved, do so right away, and I apologize beforehand.

    So, there's this series called "road roommates" hosted by Brad Knighton, our number two keeper, in which he profiles who rooms with whom. However, after the roomies get profiled, one of them gets hurt or gets shipped out of town.. Here are the cases:

    • Thorington: injured
    • Chiumiento: Transferred to FC Zurich
    • Le Toux: Traded to RBNY
    • Hassli: Traded to TFC

    Now, here's the question: is this "Road Roommates" curse just a coincidence or fact?

    Brad tweeted yesterday that he was done with the series.

    Brad Knighton ‏@bbknighton I'm DONE with roommates on the road...4 for 4! We will miss ya @liam2929 ! Fantastic player and a great locker room guy! Wish you the best!

    I know it's tongue in cheek, but you've got to figure that the rest of the team will not be letting him into their rooms!

    It's definitely a fact. Definitely. Impossible for it to be otherwise. What's Brad doing in there?

    He met a HooDoo woman in Florida, who told him his dreams could be made reality, so he set his sights on Cannon. Now that the beast has woken and claimed 4 'Caps he's scared of what he's wrought, but you can't put the milk back in the carton once it's spilled...

    I think the idea of a curse is utterly plausible.

    I hope that, in Canada in 2012, you are not asking this as a serious question. If so, the Middle Ages called, and the medieval church wants its Witch Hunter Pursuivant back.

    I don't see how you can deny the plain evidence. It's right in front of your face: every time Brad Knighton does one of these videos something bad happens. That's decisive proof. What more do you want?

    "I don't see how you can deny the plain evidence."

    You're right - let me get out my ouija board and find out what Dark Powers I should apologise too! :)

    I think brad knighton's next edition should include bili

  • It's coincidental, though you know when word comes out about another roommate people will start worrying.

    Brad is a plant for the club and gets the dirt on these players during their nights alone; and gets the FO to drop them. Recently, his room got screwed up on the road so they put him temporarily in a room with Long Tan. Tan was gone from the club shortly after, before they could do the profile.

    Knighton is tom's under cover toy that like you all have said is getting all the dirt from the team and reporting it to the higher ups. He is a mole!!!!!! A dirty mole but i dont think it will get him any playing time either so he needs something to do

  • Never thought I'd have to bring this thread back from the dead.. Looks like ol' BK decided to bring back road roomies, despite the crap that happened to his interviewees last year!

    First roomies are Klazura and Hertzog... Someone better bring to either one a stretcher or a plane ticket outta Vancouver...;)
