  1. How do you know the contract wasn’t done for all 4 returning coaches??? No reason to think this wasn’t the case and they were just announcing al the coaches for the year like they typically do Stop parroting our negative media
  2. Shaw told us why it was taking so long on in yesterday’s interview. Brown was under contract and Shaw and green had to discuss without anyone’s knowledge. They only made the announcement once browns contract was up and not renewed as opposed to firing brown with weeks left in his contract. that’s not dragging that’s class!
  3. it isn't a big deal but he didn't say anything positive about yesterday's hire either... I am sure most of the true fan base are ecstatic about Shaw being hired
  4. If you read between the lines of drance post like a lot of his other posts and athletic article which I subscribe too, he might be praising brown but he is also insinuating jb made a bad choice by no re-signing him. This is the issue I have with drance.
  5. I was just thinking this recently if we just had petey for all season and a better demko to start the season; we could possibly won 4 extra games (instead of losses) and say one of the games was a win against the habs, it would put us ahead of Habs for the playoffs whom are in the semi-finals... just saying...
  6. He isn’t wrong since is a fact but he also chose not to point out they were one of the worst PP last year. Cherry picking stats! Clearly brown wasnt getting the job done with or without petey. With his contract expiring it sounds like a great choice for a new voice and new strategy. If we re-sign brown to another 5 years and have still have a terrible PP next year what would the media say? Louie Eriksson version of the coach?? and Canucks pp last year was a true definition of insanity… doing the same thing with same 5 guys and expecting different results
  7. Yup! Can’t win scenario for jb. He will spin it either way for controversy and click bait what is sad is the amount of followers and likes he gets on twitter and athletic
  8. agree but our judicial system will deem him mentally unfit; so 10 years then parole...
  9. That’s not the point of OP the point is media writers like Thomas drance wrote pretty clearly in the athletic that Jb has failed and should follow Shanaplan even though part of the shanaplan was winning the lottery plus getting Tavares at ufa and now the shanaplan has failed again for 8 years???
  10. Where is Abbotsford aquaman??
  11. Correct me if I am wrong but I think if the refs called a match penalty for wilson (don't forget he also taunted at the box) then NHL can easily give him a suspension.
  12. don't forget Hamonic got a game misconduct for 'instigating' a fight meanwhile wilson got 10mins game misconduct and still scores the empty netter... I blame it on the refs as much as NHL.
  13. I don't like JPat stuff as well but at least he isn't ALWAYS blatantly writing negative stories like Drance. Not sure if you saw the tweet but Drance said Demko is now 13th highest paid goalie in the league but has to play elite level to justify the contract. Talk about contradiction in a statement... and then last game Drance 'insinuated' that Covid caused the canucks to play dangerously... (edler's knee)
  14. This is why I canceled my athletic subscription signed up years ago for botch and kept it last year with drance but he is super negative and decided to cancel it midway through this season
  15. Just a theory but ever thought maybe petey doesn’t want to call it a season and beg management to wait and see if his wrist gets better on week to week basis? Boggles my mind people always think this is a one way street
  16. heard somewhere the canucks just play sens/flames during schedule playoffs... makes lots of sense and most likely heading that way
  17. LOL same here. I didn't want Pearson back at all. I am not even sure why I am wasting time defending this... I think Pearson is overpaid by 500k for his next contract... If we have to keep him.. so be it. I will say this I rather have him than Gaudette People whining like we just lost some superstar in the making. Watch any nucks this season and he you know he can't play d or stick handle. He only has a slightly above average shot on this team. But I digress..
  18. I totally agree with this. I thought Pearson should be 2.75aav as well but JB is a good guy so he threw in the extra 500k
  19. And after tax salary doesn't matter for a player why?
  20. Sheary after tax income $815k Pearson after tax income $1.5mil Thats right folks, what you think is a 1.75million difference in contract is actually only $735k after tax. and easy for folks to criticize dim jim but Sheary probably take that discount to play with Stanley cup contenders as long as ovie is playing. edit: players new salary
