  1. Y, the hole is deeper than it seems. Need to manage the losses and keep getting pts each game. However, psychologically, it will be a boost to get up there for a change, giving them so hope.
  2. Or when Garland picked his pocket behind the net and Bo scored. https://www.nhl.com/video/horvat-grabs-lead-with-his-second/t-277350912/c-13643345
  3. Fell asleep on couch after down 2-1. Woke up and saw the result. 4-1-1 last 6. Win tomorrow
  4. Bear got his first pt as a nux Giving up a goal in the opening min and last min of the period is ridiculous. How do you fix that? Bruce must be livid.
  5. sure. I never said he will suck forever. but so far this season, it's true and deserved the scratch
  6. Given how the coach is being treated by the management and the crappy team construction, who would want to come here? Forget about Trotz. Anyone who has won will avoid Vancouver.

It’s been bugging him for weeks and for the hockey operations boss, it’s been like picking at a scab that won’t heal. “Not enough extra drive and tempo to prepare for a five-game road trip,” Rutherford told Postmedia on Monday. “And have a structure to make it easier for the players to play in all situations.” Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford (right) and general manager Patrik Allvin in May, 2022. That falls on Bruce Boudreau and his players, but the coach also defended the efforts Tuesday morning. “We play as hard as we can, we play as well as we can and lay it all out on the line every night,” he started. “It is what it is. I try to keep the noise out of the room as much as I can. “I’m not in the players’ mind, but if we take the positive effect, it angers them to show that everybody is wrong. This is my 47th year in the business and I’ve seen a lot of things. It’s another added to the book that I will never write. “I think every person wants to prove people wrong when they say things. I’m a pretty competitive guy at heart and maybe that’s the message — prove that it’s not a true statement.” Rutherford has said the Canucks are guilty of “playing loose” and general manager Patrik Allvin dropped an interesting line Oct. 25 when he addressed the Boudreau situation with the club at 0-5-2. Despite the 32-15-10 run when Boudreau supplanted the fired Travis Green as head coach in December, Allvin said the coach “had a tremendous start here and I think teams started to take us light (lightly). “If you look at how we played, we had a tremendous goaltender (Thatcher Demko) and special teams, but the 5-on-5 had to be better in order to be a top team.” Not exactly a ringing endorsement of a lame-duck coach in the option year of a contract because there was no thought of extending somebody with a half-season book of work. And when the players got word Tuesday morning of what was said by their president about structure, they agreed to agree and also disagree. “Obviously, there are different times in the game where we can be better structurally, but I think that’s every team,” said Canucks captain Bo Horvat. “Do I think we’re terrible? No. But there are things we need to clean up and we’ll continue to do that. “We’re focused on what’s going on in this room. We have a lot of belief in ourselves and have enough good hockey to know we have a really good team. It’s good to be challenged and should put more fuel to the fire and we want to prove a lot of people wrong. “Because it (message) has been repetitive, it’s kind of on us. We have to execute.” J.T. Miller has challenged a good power play to be even better, so a directive from the president that not all is right with the Canucks isn’t going to faze him. Probably motivate him.

The uneasiness started Monday morning when Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion had to quell the clamour for change from a 4-7-0 record by supporting — but not giving a vote of confidence — to bench boss D.J. Smith. “I’m happy with the job D.J. and the staff have done,” he said. “I’m not giving votes of confidence or anything — I think that’s foolish. D.J. is our coach, he’s going to be our coach. I have faith in how this team plays under D.J.” Then, in an afternoon radio address, Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford sang a familiar refrain about poor structure, poor training camp, poor 3-6-3 start and poor work ethic.

Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports PHOTO BY BOB FRID /USA TODAY Sports “He sees every game from up top, so I guess he has a point of view,” said Miller. “I don’t really have an opinion. I have a job to have a good game and we have a lot going on. We’ve had a chance in every game we’ve played. “We need to be hard to play against. We have a lot of skill in this room.” The optics of the owner first hiring Boudreau and then Rutherford were never good. Rutherford brought in his protege Allvin from Pittsburgh and that’s the guy who usually hires the coach. Allvin and Canucks assistant coach Mike Yeo have a connection that dates back to working with the Penguins and that could be a replacement option, if the owner has an appetite to fire Boudreau and pay another coach for not coaching. Add it all up and this might be a defining road trip for the coach and maybe some of his players. Rutherford hinted at roster change, but sorting out the salary cap could hamper a trade. Waivers are also an option to get the attention of the room. “We have to make players more accountable,” Rutherford said during his Sportsnet 650 interview Monday. “We’ll have to take the necessary steps to try and get the players’ attention.” bkuzma@postmedia.com twitter.com/@benkuzma
  8. Nah. He won't get renewed that is all. No point in paying three coaches. Better just start fresh.
