Introducing our First Nations Celebration jersey!
Dr. Crossbar replied to Heretic's topic in Canucks Talk
Amazing looking jersey! Looks awesome! They should wear it for that particular game! Damn ... Incredible design! -
100% confident. I've been saying this for years ... we're not going to win the way we've been doing it in some nice guy, character, balanced approach. We need to get down and dirty and actually do what it takes to win, which at times isn't pretty or nice. We're not going to win being nice guys. We need an east coast edge to our game instead of west coast chill, complacency and country club. As much as I liked Bo, it was the right move to start fresh with the C. I want to truly reassess after year three but what they're doing right now with Tocchet in weeding out passengers and creating a new culture is and has been so SO necessary. I hated to see Bruce go, I really did, but getting Tocchet in here for the tank to assess was the right move. Bruce would be gunning for wins. This is an extended training camp. I said earlier a couple months ago, they could accelerate this retool by getting another 1st in this year's draft, and going all in on this draft. They got another 1st from Bo, and I'm hoping we get more in the way of 2nds, 3rds. Management is fully aware of the D issues. These guys - JR, PA, Tocchet, Gonchar, Foote - are all Cup winners. They know what it takes. Especially how defense wins games. I'm looking forward to them reshaping our blueline over the next couple seasons. They've got to start this offseason. I'm really liking what they're doing with Abbotsford. It finally feels like we're doing things right, which helps give confidence. Even Tocchet today said they're going to take their time to develop Raty since he's still so young. Also, Colliton gives me a lot of confidence as coach in Abby. He's great and perfect for that job right now. There really is a reassessment and recalibration happening. Fans need to let it happen even if it's not pretty.

This is awesome to see. I'm really rooting for Silovs. He really emerged last year at the World Championship when he outplayed Elvis Merzlikins and finished the tourney with a .952 save percentage. That was a huge indicator of his talent and what he can handle. It obviously did wonders for his game and confidence. We may have something special here. All signs pointing in a positive direction.
