[[Report] Tanev and Canucks not talking - Major interest from KHL]

Lol at all the people trashing Tanev.

For all we know the Canucks are lowballing him, or his agent is being adamant on getting better terms than he might actually deserve.

Lowballing? anything under 1m is lowballing and over 1.5 over paying. unles its a longer contract 3years at 2m sounds good.

[(Article)NHL goalie rankings: Is Luongo still elite?]

This is how I see it:

1 Lundqvist

2 Quick

3 Rinne

4 Rask

5 Bobrovski

6 Anderson

7 Schneider

8 Luongo

Rask has had one good season, and that one good season was a half season, big ???? with him still. Bobrovski has had one good season and that one good season was a half season. big ???? with him even more then Rask. Schneider hasn't even had a half season. You've got it all messed up, You want to join my hockey pool? I could use your money

[[Official] Canucks coach talk. Keep all talk here.]

I agree with him.

The will to win can't be injected by someone else....it comes from within. These guys know - they're not young players. They're players who've come so close only to see it fade away.

I like AV's interaction and leadership...a good leader doesn't have to be a drill sergeant...a good leader, first and foremost, needs the respect of their crew and you have to earn that in how you treat them. Sure, times will dictate that a good ol' butt kicking may be in order but, at least at the start, I'd hope a new coach doesn't come in there and try to assert his power and authority with a heavy hand. Get their attention by teaching them things you know that they may not....the approach will be important. These aren't new, fresh to the game guys. It has to be done properly, with the right balance between guidance and support.

You guys who are so quick to criticize everything Canuck have become spoiled and don't respect how difficult it actually is to excel in this game/league....good teams can drop like flies when they hit a skid. It's doesn't mean they're not good teams (just look at Chicago right now).

And those constantly undervaluing KB don't appreciate what he brings, not only to our team, but to the game itself. He is a leader and a good coach coming in will recognize that and allow for that role to remain unchanged.

I agree with you that a aggressive coach that is gonna crack the whip on this team might not sit well with the older players. But that is exactly what this team needs, the canucks core including coaching staff got to comfortable with their jobs. It showed on the ice. The team needs to be less comfortable and more accountable for their mistakes and lack of effort. If Bieksa and others don't like it then like any other job they to need to go, really who is Bieksa saying what kind of coach he prefers, in no way has Bieksa accomplished anything in his career that would give him that right. If we were to trade him to another team and their coach was aggressive and held him accountable, would he cry? no, he would have to adjust or simply not play. It seems to me Bieksa is afraid that he and others will have to do some hard work, their cushy jobs could get put into jeperdy, but that's what happens in life. You had the freedom to motivate yourselves and it clearly didn't work. If you don't like the new coach and buy into his system GTFO.
