  1. Gotta disagree with you there. 1994 in game 7 he scored two goals with broken ribs. And under his leadership we lost the cup by one goal to a loaded Ranger team. No we didn't win the cup, but to say he didn't deliver isn't fair.
  2. It might be more appropriate to judge this management group once training camp arrives. We'll know more about their direction then, as this offseason has just started, they still have a couple of months to make things happen. I don't think we have enough info to judge JR/Alvin one way or the other right now.
  3. Huh, trade announcements still coming in. Perhaps the Canucks still have a trade coming.
  4. Rutherford has been around the block a few times though, I doubt that he would let ownership interfere. IMO it's very likely he's insisted on full control in his contract.
  5. Unless Miller is adamant about wanting to leave the Canucks, then I don't see how we can trade him this year. I'm thinking that trading him at this year's trade deadline, with the team playing so well after getting rid of Green, would be a big gut-punch to the rest of the team by sending their best player packing. It's essentially a message from management saying that they don't believe in the team despite their high level of play this year, and I'm worried about the effect on morale. If the Canucks don't go anywhere this year, and seem to be out of contention next year, then trade him at next year's deadline. If we get less assets in return, compared to what we would get this year, then so be it.
  6. He's not coming to the Vancouver Canucks, so that makes it very good news.
  7. Yeah, or something that resembles a locker room anyway.
  8. I'd be a good reason for McDavid to ask for a trade, if he wants out of Edmonton. No one could blame McDavid for not wanting to play with that clown
  9. Good, looks like Rutherford plans on staying far away from Kane. This is the best news Canuck fans could've hoped for in regards to Kane. Let him go to Toronto, it'll be entertaining to watch him destroy their locker room.
  10. Good gawd, he really screwed this up. What does cancelling his contract mean for his debt? If his appeal loses, it must change his bankruptcy situation.
  11. I don't want us to get Chyckrun either, as the price will be too high. But his +/- stats are misleading imo. Look at Sakic, his +/- was brutal in his first three years, but like Chyckrun he was on a terrible team as well.
  12. A guy who had got 49pts in 56 games last season had somehow cleared waivers and been demoted. Then no takers as of yet when he's being offered with 50% salary retained. That's a red flag if I've ever seen one. Stay far away from Kane.
  13. I agree, I wonder if we can pry Nick Ritchie for a reasonable price.
  14. Yeah, a handful. A small percentage of total Canucks fans were there, and of the total fans that were there, only a small percentage actually did any rioting.
  15. I agree. It's better to keep Gillis away from this team, we don't need him doing another hatchet job on the Canucks.
  16. The actions of a few morons doesn't encompass the majority of the fanbase, anyone capable of discernment can see that.
  17. We definitely need toughness, but Kane isn't the answer. Last thing we need is to throw a variable like Kane into the dressing room while they're trying to figure it out with a new coach., too much can go wrong.
  18. No way that was intentional, should be reduced to 2 games.
  19. Whoa, just found out about this about 10 minutes ago, been at work. It had to be done, some of his moves were great, but he definitely had some catastrophes as well.
  20. It might not even be an issue of whether he's a good coach or not, maybe he's just lost the room. The majority of head coaches in the NHL seem to have an expiry date with teams, and maybe Green has just reached his with the Canucks.
  21. Yeah, I can see that. I don't know what to do about that except move on from them, unless they're breaking forum rules.
  22. Fair enough, I see where you're coming from. I don't enjoy the "garbage team" posts either. But at the same time it's the nature of the beast, some fans are just angrier than others.
  23. If people are making personal attacks on members of the organization, whether it be the players, coach, or gm, then I agree with you. I've already said that some comments made on here are over the top. But criticism relating to their performance this season are entirely warranted. This is professional sports, and results matter. And fans are allowed to voice their criticisms should the team perform below expectations.
  24. I get your point, and it's a good one. Some posts are definitely over the top. However, with some people on these boards being so emotionally invested in the Canucks, venting is to be expected, especially with this team performing far below expectations. I want Green gone, I don't think he's a good coach, but I don't hate him. I would hazard a guess that in all of Canuckville, there are very, very few fans that actually legitimately hate him.
