  1. How is Jake developing? Does he have better structure in his game?
  2. I think I recall the reason he wasn't sent back to Juniors last year was because management was concerned he wasn't going to get the quality ice time with the Hitmen he needed to develop. And only other choice was keeping him in the NHL, and at least the Canucks can keep an eye on his training, eating, etc.
  3. I'm surprised too that he didn't get one more game, but I'm sure he'll be called up.
  4. I think it's about keeping these prospects in as much of a winning culture and learning as possible.
  5. Loved Torts passion and honesty. He was pretty much the only one who showed emotion consistently. I hope he lands a good coaching situation that fits him soon. I hope the Canucks doesn't end up with a country club atmosphere.
  6. Was there any decision announced about Tort's future with the Canucks? I recall they wanted to make this decision fairly quickly.
  7. The current core couldn't score since 2011, and their play had AV fired, then MG fired, and still they can't score. I just like to see Torts get a fair opportunity with a group that he can be assessed fairly if he is the right coach. Every team has to have their top players be top players, and our top players haven't been the top players the last 3 seasons.
  8. I liked what Torts did, he was protecting his team. Watching the face off, Westgarth made no attempt to play the puck right after the face off and went straight for Bieksa. It sure looked intentional what they were going to do. As for what happened between periods, Torts was showing his emotions. I like how involved he is with his team. Whether right or wrong, he's showing he is a Canuck. The move by Hartley to put that line out there, that was classless and goes back to the days of the broad street bullies. Torts had to put his 4th line out there, he was responding to a situation he was forced into. I think that's why they call it line matching.
