The jackyls are nipping at Babcock's heels.

Name it ... Delia

Miller should be captain.

Sounds like a short house contract.

Love Frank Corrado and what he's doing now but the only thing I take issue with is this quote of his ... "And listen, if Paul Bissonnette is going public with something like that, I have every reason to believe that he got it from a credible source. He’s not going to torpedo his show and his reputation… Like he’s on major television platforms in the United States, he’s not going to sewer himself in that regard." That's an assumption he's making about Bissonnette along with wanting readers/listeners to just take his word for it ... sorry, not in this day and age of media. There are way too many douchebags posing as credible media that shouldn't get any benefit of the doubt. Guys put their reputations on the line all the time to stir the pot, and many don't care as long as the money's flowing and listeners are growing. BUT ... his take on Babcock from experience and what he knows from other guys in the know is most definitely relevant.

First year Hronek was with Canucks we were happy.

Quinn is a win!

It's like being unhappy with Hronek when all you wanted and called for was a Hronek.

Our power play units break down as follows ... PP1: (More popular) PP2: (The Original) Sorry ... I couldn't resist.

Miller was the best choice. Especially given the stick/net incident. The meltdown value would have been priceless. But ... Quinn was a good choice.

New Canucks in Cars segment with Rick Tocchet and Adam Foote ... good stuff!!

People want to rag all over Bo, give him the gears, and then want it both ways and hope he doesn't get booed. Lol It's like wanting a good young RHD, getting one, and then complaining. Geesh ... Hopefully Quinn doesn't act like that.

Call them a capybara

That would be the smart thing to do.

Exactly. Playing together will be a nice bonus later on in their careers IF the opportunity arises. People are making seem like it's their sole priority for being in the NHL.

Just because Quinn Hughes has brothers, doesn't mean it's his #1 priority to play with them. I'm sure if the opportunity arises down the road, he'd like to explore it, and likes the idea, but ... just because he has brothers doesn't mean he's bolting for NJ.

Sounds like completely made up BS that people are all too eager to jump on and will it to be true.

Well, this is reason to be happy to start the season ...

100%

Well, that's just another reason people should be happy with him.

Well, we're really talking optics on a messageboard, which are a different set of dynamics, and more about fitting in and saying the right things. You know that. Lol But ... It was overblown completely. People just can't handle the uncomfortable. We need less safe and more uncomfortable if we want to win. Safe is predictable. I've been saying that for a long time. After a slew of nice guys as captains, I felt we really needed to go in a different direction and do something different, even if it was uncomfortable. I still stand by that now. In saying all that, I'm not opposed to Quinn. being captain. I see his positive attributes and value with the C.

Excellent post and points! The Miller stuff is way overblown. He would have made a great captain. I agree that we've needed more than than nice and safe. But like you say, I'm finding the positives with Quinn. He has a great attitude, mindset, and doesn't mind the uncomfortable of the role.

In the evolution and trajectory of these posts since yesterday, has Hughes walked on water yet?
