nitwitt Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well, just past the half way of this shorten season, and it looks rather familar to the last half of the 2012 season. We're a .500 team at best, but we as fans and the media are expecting so much more. There is a real possibility that the Canucks don't even make the playoffs so what needs to be done right now to get this mess back on the tracks. Here are the first few things I would do ASAP. 1.Roberto Luongo stays, deal Corey Schnieder love Corey but this team needs to maximize assets. 2.Fire A.V. he's had a great run, probably one of the finest coaches we've had, but watching the last 30-40 games it has become clear that the team(players) have checked out. 3.Mayson Raymond stays, seals up 2nd line LW. Plays with Kesler and Kassian on the Right side when he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durl Dixsun Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 1. Trade Lu not Schneider 2. AV stays 3. Trade Raymond and make a Booth - Kesler - Kassian line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginu Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Over this and last season I've swallowed so many tough pills with this team... its not even funny. We are a below average team with tons of holes and no prospectives in patching. We traded our prospects and future stars for bunch of plugs... Even if Kesler comes back and we pull some magic to get another player which can help this team, I don't see how we can go far since they will be the targetted players... This team is lacking some serious depth... I dont understand management to be honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sedin Sedin Burr Hansen Ebbett Raymond Higgins Lappy Pinnizotto Sestito Schroeder Weise Really? you're expecting more from this group? The fact that they're still in the playoffs is amazing. Take LA for example, now remove Carter Richards and Penner and you'll have a team that will struggle to win.

smackyo23 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Detroit beat us 8-1 with 5 or 6 call-ups due to injuries. Ottawa has more serious injuries than us (Spezza, Karlsson, Anderson) and has remained competitive and is in every game. This team is too happy to allow adversity to give it a reason to fail. Starts with managment. AV and MG have dismissed and actually ridiculed fan expectations and criticsims. AV laughing off how fans were concerned about "how the Nucks wer winning down the stretch last year. Well...who was right then and now? IN response to fan concerns this year (earlier on) that the team was not playing well MG saying the fans expect too much and that they should be happy with how good a team this is. Really MG?!! Who appears to have been right again. WIth AV and this team, there is always an excuse...inuries, reffing, travel, back to back games, early game...The problem is, they lack leadership and accountability. They have become accustomed to mediocre effort and results and no longer have the drive to dominate teams or control the tempo of a game. Like Tony Gallagher said, they are waiting. ALways waiting for something to happen to them. A trade. a coaching change, a return of an injured player, someone to step up and play hero, the goalies to steal a game.... It's hard to watch what was a very good hockey team stumble around and embarrass themselves with all this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The guy has no passion behind the bench. Get your damn gum out of your mouth and start getting pissed off. Just seeing that guy behind our bench bugs me, he's a limp noodle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Did he win? Yeah this team went to the cup finals ONCE and beyond the first round 1 other time. He's big time underachieved with this talent group. We've had some really good players come through here on his watch and he's more concerned about making them fit "The System" then maximizing the talents those players have. To all those pointing to his regular season win's and two Presidents Trophy's can you just stop please? All of that is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbar and in Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wow is this hard to watch. I find it hard to stomach how little backbone this team has. I am so tired of seeing this team get physically run out of it's own building. At some point Gillis has to wake up and realize that the team HE assembled is nowhere near good enough. When is Gillis going to be held to account for his many errors? We use to own our house and had teams adjust to our game. Sadly that is now history.

smackyo23 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Then why are you complaining so much now that we're not at the top of the league? This is the meaningless part, so you should wait until the playoffs before crying the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 LOOK AT THE TEAM HE HAD IN FRONT OF HIM Sedin - Sedin -Burrows Raymond - Kesler - Samuelsson Higgins - Malhotra - Hansen Torres - Lapierre - Glass Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Ehrhoff Ballard - Salo Luongo Schneider Almost all players had career years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
