    Mathews’s reaction to TML’s second goal tonight says all you really need to know about him. Sure, he’s chasing 70 goals, but, he (nor his parents in attendance) can’t even be happy for a teammate who scores instead. He’s good at chasing his personal stats and not much else.

    Wanting to see a balanced LH/RH roster is “living in the past”?
  3. Fakename70
    Typing in caps doesn’t make it any more valid.

    I’m disappointed that the organisation apparently wanted to move him, too. The first legitimate top-6 RH C they’ve had since Kesler and they want to dump him for yet another LH Forward. If there’s 1 thing the Vancouver Canucks are never short on, it’s LH Forwards. Of which they have plenty to have made a move to re-acquire Toffoli and not kick the tires at all with Kessel.

    Speaking for the rest of the division GM’s maybe?
  6. Fakename70
    I’m glad they didn’t get him. If there’s 1 thing the Vancouver Canucks don’t need, it’s yet another LH Forward. Was still hoping for Toffoli though.
  7. Fakename70
    So, is it or isn’t it?
  8. Fakename70
    Fantastic news. Canucks add yet another LH Forward. Particularly, at a position where they really don’t need one.
  9. Fakename70
    Mark Messier.

    If he makes the Oilers and actually makes valuable contributions to their bottom-6 - their 3rd line, specifically - it’ll make me think the Canucks were asleep at the wheel and missed out on a desperately needed and cheap FA RH 3C.
  11. Fakename70
    Maybe something from a B.C. artist like Bryan Adams?
  12. Fakename70
    Isn’t it best to have one that is more team-identifiable than player identifiable?
  13. Fakename70
    Unfortunately, yes. I don’t know of any Canuck fan who likes hearing it - especially in the late-2000’s-to-mid-2010’s - but it definitely serves its purpose for that rink and its fan base.

    I already alluded to the lack of a RH C in this forum on Monday. Again, for the LH/RH roster balance I keep moaning about, I’d love to see a RH C for the 2nd & 3rd lines. But, especially for at least the 2nd. And, I don’t mean Karlsson. I’m talking a legitimate top-6’er. Surely Allvin would be willing to turn towards the abundance of LH forwards to acquire one, no? I sure hope so.
  15. Fakename70
    You’re forgetting Kuzmenko is an RH…who plays LW. I’m specifically talking about RH’s at RW. The team doesn’t have that, other than Boeser and Garland. Nor does it have it down the middle. You really can’t add Karlsson nor Studnicka to that mix if you’re expecting them to be a playoff team this upcoming season. There’s no balance on this roster amongst the Forwards, is my point, and I think it will continue to be a potential hindrance going forward if it isn’t addressed.

    Operative word: “proven”.
  17. Fakename70
    Exactly which LH kid has proven themselves capable in that role over the RH veteran you want to get rid of? Please don’t make me have to see the name Hoglander in your reply to that question. I get that he’s a CDC fan favourite and all, but, he hasn’t been seen much at the NHL level since the season before last, if I recall. That’s not necessarily a strong point that I think moves the needle for a team with legitimate playoff aspirations this upcoming season. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m infatuated with Garland, but the lack of RH’s - a recurring theme with this organisation - drives me crazy. There’s enough bottom-6 LH’s to do something about it.
  18. Fakename70
    None of that seemed to be much of a problem once Boudreau came on board. I don't know what happened after he was sacked. I'm thinking of his offence, primarily. This team has no shortage of LH's to choose from at LW3 to provide the facets of the game you think Garland lacks at RW3.
  19. Fakename70
    Isn’t that what Garland is suited for? Id love to see this team drop/move some of its plethora of LH forwards and balance the roster with RH’s. Especially at C. This team currently does not have a legitimate viable RH option at the position if they’re serious about getting to the playoffs this upcoming season, and I wouldn’t mind if they parted with a couple LW’s to add a legitimate RH 2C. THAT is the only way I could stomach seeing Studnicka in the lineup as a bottom-6 C.
  20. Fakename70
    Seems like perpetually rebuilding/re-tooling by poaching veteran players from other teams rather than developing and promoting from within. Kinda like the recent UFA signings. Typically short-sighted vision for this franchise, rather than thinking long.
  21. Fakename70
    Me too. He’s a good piece to have until McWard is ready to be an everyday top-4 NHL D.
  22. Fakename70
    Elite? Or, “Joe Flacco elite”?
  23. Fakename70
    So, I wonder what those at CDC who kept harping on character as it relates to Tocchet and his gambling issue have to say about Cole and the abuse allegations against him?
  24. Fakename70
    That makes zero sense relative to what I’m saying.
  25. Fakename70
    I was thinking yesterday the Canucks just don’t have enough “impact players” to win it in the near term. And, who amongst the current model will develop into one and help the franchise graduate from a continuous state of re-tooling?
