  1. Game day!To tank or not to tank is the question?

      you may have no choice, like celibacy a tank might be thrust upon you.

  2. what canuck players would you place on waivers?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      would have been Dickinson. 

       

      I would waive Pearson and see what shakes.

      its entirely possible that we end up with a worse owner. Maybe he's ready for an actual rebuild and then we can forget about FA again.

  4. are our wingers good enough?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      we have great winger depth. 

       

      What we're missing is two guys wit the skills Sutter and Beagle had at 3/4C.

      programming? they're morons? felt good at the time? who knows for sure. 

       

      Its freaky to see this rise up again though, particularly in the US and some places in Canada. I kind of expect it in places like Russia but not here.

  8. hey Alf - I think this is the kind of thing you've been talking about -

      So is that coaching or the players making this decision? or are they unsure of what to do? 

       

      I'm still not clear on why they are playing like this.

  9. Holding on too long is just fear of letting go

    That line....just sums me up in a nutshell. 

    1. JM_

      I trust what Rutherford thinks is the best course. Someone with 55 years in the game knows whats' what, so if he thinks the only path forward is a tear down I'm fine with it. Or maybe its some other plan, but there isn't much he hasn't seen. 

       

      I keep coming back to Demko, its tough to watch what he's going through, and I doubt anyone has the full story there. Somethings going on we haven't' heard about yet, I'm sure of that.

      I do wonder, had we won a cup in 94 e.g. or in the Sedin years, would more people be OK with a teardown this year?

       

      I really wanted to see JR/PA try to make things work with the current group, and on paper, it should be a lot better. But maybe we don't have all the internal details to know whats actually happening.

  11. We do not do these things because they were easy, but because we thought they would be easy.

      yeah that fits :lol:

       

      I saw it on a coding site, but thought it applied to the Canucks too.

  12. Guys on 650 saying that Mikheyev is playing fabulously.  They said he’s on the ice for a 2:1 ratio of high danger chances.  

     

    1. JM_

      JM_

      no, its not. I always saw this year as a transition year from all that dead cap and bad pro-scouting from JB to what it has a chance of being.

       

      But if Demko is pooched, dunno that does kind of reset things.

      he was a great pick up. 

       

      how does this team turn it around Alf? you've seen it all, whats really wrong here?

       

      Is it as simple as Demko is bad this year?

  14. Boeser for Klingberg, who says no?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      but he's also injury prone and that shot isn't what it once was. If ANA thinks that they want to take the risk on him, I'd do it and see how Klingberg fit with OEL. If its a bust we walk away clean with a lot of cap space for next season. 

       

      We're in all kinds of cap trouble, teams aren't looking to help us make amazing deals.

  15. Boeser for Klingberg, who says no?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      sure he's team controlled but thats also one of our issues, we have too many F's on multi year deals.  Its a F for better d, thats the kind of deal we need to be looking for.

    1. JM_

      JM_

      dunno @mll Brock is still young enough to fit their rebuild and they are having trouble scoring. Brock could be a good finisher for them and a PP threat. 

       

      They aren't going to tank forever.

      he can transition the puck Hef. Put him with OEL and we have a legit 2nd pairing.

      really high quality gin is underrated. The cheapie stuff is like Bud light compared to Belgian beer.
