  1. Quite simply , Boeser has reached his ceiling.. it’s not going to get better. Opposition has his chapter written, engage with him at the blue line and he stays perimeter, out of harms way. If he has the puck crossing the blue line it seems he usually passes blindly, or seems lost what to do. I get you like his “shot”.. usually how he scores,. But there are others who can be multi task replacements and help this club in greater ways.
  2. Perfect, he and Bo can stay on the 4th line and really produce then. They played against the Kracks 4th line last night,. Didn’t look good at all.. ghosts actually. But maybe next game, and then next game,. And then
  3. I’m the worst type of fan. Well, after watching the Vancouver Blazers of the World Hockey League. My type of Fanbase morphed into The Canucks expanding into the NHL.. I have seen some great hockey played in this city, and what I’m witnessing now is not it. The problem is you have been lulled to sleep with mediocre hockey, and fan favorited draft picks. .. and you wish, and you wish, and you wish. Miller placed that puck perfectly in Horvats wheelhouse in the pp, and Bo still almost waffled it. So his goal offsets 2 penalties he took for lazy skating, one becoming a pp goal for the Kraken. Boudreau has him on the 4th line with Boeser to succeed against the Krackens 4th line and neither of them got shots inside the perimeter. Im glad you got to see the best of Horvat in the “bubble playoffs”, it might have been the last time. good luck with “your” Fanbase .. it seems mine likes to win a lot more, and work a lot harder.
  4. 8 years Horvat has had a chance to prove himself better. Now our Captain pushed to the 4th line to help his game with Brock and gets 2 lazy penalties. Everyone else on this team out plays both of those players. This is not a hiccup, it’s been their trend.
  5. Hope we resign him before he goes to UFA this Summer ,. If every player threw himself over the boards the way TM does this team would climb high in the standings every year.
  6. I’m hopeful we can move Brock shortly and make our next deal with Tyler Motte far before he goes to UFA this Summer.
  7. and it was actually an opportunity for him Boeser and Dickenson to be better than the Krackens 4th line! instead he took 2 penalties for lazinesses.
  8. Like JM says,. And that move would turn his own people against him as they already enjoy the freedom of traveling most of the world. Its the Entry visas that will effect other / specific Russian citizens. Already in place with Russian Corporations/ Oligarchs, they are required or are being told to leave countries around the world. NATO is specifically targeting Putin support millionaires with sanctions that include this today.
  9. Did you ever see Smyl play? Miller exudes those same qualities. Id rather see him smash a stick than sulk off the ice with a pussy face the way Horvat does. 8 years to prove himself. He is a good 3C, and last night on the 4 th line with Brock vs the Krackens 4th line took 2 lazy penalties. His pp goal was put on his stick by Miller. Thats a gifted player , yup.
  10. If other teams see what you do then we will get a great return for our needs. We don’t need Boeser.
  11. Forget Brock, move him.. we risk valuable time trying to sort him out, with more potential for problems than a fix.
  12. We are too soft with the players I’m speculating we trade. They are a liability. Time and money (too much) now and in the future is not going to change their game. We have had Horvat for 8 years.. he is silent on the ice. NOT Captain material .
  13. That’s very possible,. But the closer we get to that level, the better off we are. and we have only been closer to that level since JT arrived. Horvat has been here 8 years.
  14. Because Boudreau is offering hard work with opportunities. Green went with the status quo of gifting the best opportunities to our so called rah rah favourites.… any wonder why we lost so many with Green? tonight Lamikkos line opened as the 1st line 2nd - Miller was with Garland and Pearson 3rd- was Petey with Hogz and Podz 4th was Bo Brock and Dicky bird. Opportunity to hard workers first. That should not Change unless one of those lines betters the others.… and seriously, Bo and Brock did not look that great against the Krackens 4th line. That speaks with volume. Horvat had 2 lazy penalties before he took a pass from Miller on the pp to score. I think we can do without Horvat Boeser and Dickenson, and bring in some sizeable gritty pieces ps/ edit: Boudreau could be responsible for possibly turning Lamikko into a first line Center,. Right before our very eyes. A hard Summer of serious training and nutrition could turn him into a beast quickly. He had all the attributes, mentality, physically, and skillfully.
  15. .. although I highly doubt an actually combat war lasts very long.. Sanctions could be in place for a long time. Not only to potentially ruin Putin, but to have his own people turn on him and establish new leadership there. Oligarchs that feed Putin and support him, are pin pointed in those sanctions. It their corporations, companies, and Families that are targeted first. Russias “world” may become very small over night.
