[PGT] Chicago Blackhawks at Vancouver Canucks | Jan. 24, 2023
Nucker 67 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
One game at a time. The rest of this season will be about assessing the team for next season. They will lose their fair share as well. Wherever they end up, they end up. The lotto will decide that. I was somewhat encouraged by the Canucks play last night. As expected they had some jump, but they also played pretty good D. How many shots did CHI muster? I'm very happy with the result, cheering for CHI just feels dirty. -

Boeser can go back to being slow for whichever team VAN trades him to. I'm good with that. -

Gosh, where do I begin. There's this thing called sports, where two teams try to score more points against each other than the other team. -
[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I like the idea of bringing in Korczak, he's got a connection to Adam Foote. But a bigger connection would be Cal Foote from TB. I'd like to get them both. Schenn for Foote Hughes - Foote OEL - Bear Dermott - Myers Korczak -
Tocchet also commented that Foote taught him something in practice about how the D deals with wingers exiting the zone, or something like that. They have a wealth of knowledge on what it takes to win a Cup as a Dman in the NHL. I think Gonchar and Foote will help the D core a lot. Rutherford - won 3 Cups as a GM Allvin - won 3 Cups (scouting) Tocchet - won 3 Cups (2 as a player, one as an A/coach) Gonchar - won a Cup (player) Foote - won 2 Cups (player) This is a heck of a management/coaching team, and eventually they'll get the Canucks there

Provorov declines pre-game pride night skate
Nucker 67 replied to Slegr's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Would you trade OEL for Provorov? -
I like that they brought in Gonchar and Foote to teach/mentor the D and with different personnel on the PK, I believe they'll be much better. Of course, an NHL goalie would help, but Demko should be back after the all-star break.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Horvat, Stillman and Schenn for Carlo, Lysell, DeBrusk and a 2nd -
How bad would it look for the Canucks if they turned around and fired JR and Allvin next? Real bad, and lost without a clue. These guys have a plan. They never dealt with the coaching thing very well, but moving on. Their job here is to bring VAN a Cup. Other players weren't dying to go to Vancouver because Bruce was the coach. Kuzmenko liked Bruce a lot and might be the reason he signed in VAN, and that's all fine. I can see over some time, once the Canucks start having success with Tocchet, that other players may see what's going on in VAN and may want to get on that ride. They want to bring a Cup to VAN, so let's see if they can.

[Rumour] Bo Horvat Trade/Contract Talks
Nucker 67 replied to HOFsedins's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
JR said that they would like to bring in young players that are in their ELC or just out of, that could use a fresh start. This, to me, means high drafted players that aren't panning out as expected (yet). DET for possibly Zadina+, Rasmussen+ or Veleno+ or CAR for Kotkaniemi+ or NYR for Kravtsov+, or Kakko+ -
Seeing the interviews after practice yesterday with the skate logo backdrop, the coaches in black and yellow gloves and skate jackets, etc. and seeing the Canucks play in the retro skate sweaters, make me really wish they'd go back to these. Is it possible that they eventually do? Wishful thinking that maybe they feel this will be part of the culture change. They look damn good in those uniforms.

Should they just sit Bo Horvat until they trade him?
Nucker 67 replied to Canuckfanforlife82's topic in Canucks Talk
I would be okay with this too. I think Bo will re-sign, because the job is all about winning hockey games, but I would prefer they trade him and others to improve the team down the road.
