  1. Yeah he got what two games? Then it’s been Leivo in and out of the top 2 lines, with Pearson stapled there for 99% on Bos line. Right now I’d keep Jake and Rooster on Bos and the lotto line together. Greens fixed on Pearson but the guys only good 50% of the time. Hot or cold, don’t see why he and Leivo aren’t 3rd line full time
  2. Early it was to reinstate the unacknowledged coaching staff it was. Don’t knot understand it I do
  3. Idk I think the end game stats and Markys play have made us look more evenly matched through these last two months when in truth we are drastically out played during whole periods and manage to come back to make it a close game isn’t really playing well. We’re very very lucky to have two good goalies or we’d be loosing by a lot more than a goal or two in most of these games. Lots I believe would be over during our slow 1st period starts. How many times have we heard Shorthouse say “ Canucks haven’t had a shot on net since... in the (blank) period” that’s becoming a trend the last two months, can’t reall say the games are that close when Marky is the only reason it is close at all. Zero shots in ten mins of hockey isn’t acceptable. Sooner or later you gotta demand better than that
  4. Glad that the play of the Canucks is no longer being seen as a bad game or two. It’s creeping on a bad two months. Either way something needs to change, with Green here or not. The player we have can do better than this and I for one would hate to see nothing change and let it slide till April. Write off another year? Terrible idea, as that would create a very poor loosing environment for our young up and coming. Can’t have change when they’re achievements are acceptable so for this I glad it’s hit a point where something might happen. Although can’t keep hitting rock bottom and not change coaching staff at all. Last kick at the can for sure for someone behind the bench. Let’s just hope there is a change in attitudes in the coach and players enough “ we played good..but” that’s just not true anymore. Maybe 5 good games in the last 20 isn’t playing well. If I’m JB and FA I call for a change in attitude at least and now! Before I start chopping heads.
  5. Good point about line changes, a bad one cost a goal tonight and I’ve pointed out many bad ones watching that didn’t result in anything but could have. And the amount of too many men beginning of the year was a red flag too. Someone’s at fault for these things. The players aren’t just jump over the bench when they feel like it
  6. Virtanen and Guadette should have been out in the end. I was shocked when I saw them out the the time out and “Oh yeah there it is” back to Leivo
  7. Love the JVirtanen love of late, I remember lots of new young guys coming up during the Moose reinforcement era reminds of of where we are at now. Seeing Bo come in, then Jake and McCann then Tryamkin and Boeser and Petey now Hughes. So much to cheer for now hate when people crapped on Jake his ice time has been hard to watch let alone be in his shoes trying to make an impression during 6-9 mins some nights, glad he’s finding his stride more and showing some of his potential. Hasn’t been as quick or as promising as the others I mentioned but I’ll root for all the young canucks! The FA signings are where I feel there’s more of need for all the discussions
  8. Yeah I saw a post saying we need more out of Pearson and Leivo but, Imo completely isn’t the prob. Those two will be streaky but of late lots of secondary throughout. Boils down to effort and execution of strategy. Other teams come in looking way more focused on their own play where we seem to reacting to their play rather than dictating our system.
  9. Unleash the Tuna! here’s to another Canucks come in flying, got a good feeling and I know The a Canadiens can smell it in the air..
  10. Imagine a seven game series of us and Vegas at this point. Not good.
  11. Best part was when Jake scored, was just saying put the kid on the PP god darn it! Got me outta my seat and the wife was laughing
  12. Loui Erickson 6,000,000 T Schaller 1,900,000 $8,000,000 well spent.
  13. Skeletor here “how’s it going Bo?” “Good oak how’s that (other name for Richard) doing up there?” “Ah he’s good Bo still gazing at the innard seem of the interviewers pant leg Bo, Haha but you know how it is!”
  14. But but but Jakes not a top six guy I’m on could nine when this kid scores, he deserves more lengthy shot in the top six. Completely agree with you here
  15. I’ve been flipping my lid every time we pull the goalie my wife probably is growing very tired of it.. we almost Never! Have pressure when we pull the goalie. The good ol days 90secs left and the puck was in or crossing the other teams blue line. No it’s 180+ and it’s on our stick in our own blue line at best.
