  1. I think you're correct on whats happening, what I don't understand is it just our players doing the wrong things on their own, or is there some coaching problem going on? I'm curious as to why you think we're pressuring incorrectly. JR is a crafty old fart. He's got a reason for sure. My bet right now is he's just not going to extend Bruce, but he won't fire him. No point really now.
  2. So are we being coached to try to force turnovers? or is there some other reason our guys are being coached to be this aggressive, or is it something the F's are just doing on their own?
  3. hey @J.I.A.H.N I can see CBJ being very happy to land Petey, but I think they would want to keep Jenner. Can also see NYR being interested in Miller, but Laffy might be untouchable as well. I could see Kappo and Chytil being the return for Miller. On the Miller ideas, I don't understand whats possible - can Vancouver retain 1/2 on his expiring year before the extension kicks in? not sure on the rules there.
  4. Leaf Blower guru calling out Canucks forwards for their defensive play. Now I've heard it all
  5. did he actually say 'step back' or that it would be a couple of years before we'd be a contender? two very different things.
  6. 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. 

  7. I think we need to say "owners" - there's a big Italian family to deal with and I suspect its like herding cats. I can say this since I married an Italian.
  8. I would tend to lean this way on it. OEL-Myers was a decent pairing last year, this year it looks like they've aged 7 years since last season. Demko... yeeesh. PK is a strange mess. What else do you need to stink in this league?
  9. I thought is point was more that we were not playing like a team and lack structure. I think he's fine with the talent per se. I'm leaning toward something wrong with Demko between the ears at the moment, they seem to be trying to let him play through it so maybe its not a physical problem. But he needs to sit the rest of this road trip. Give him time to calm down and reset. Maybe a lot of practice will be the thing he needs.
  10. yes there are a number of issues with this team, but the #1 issue is Demko. Something is very wrong with him, I don't know if its physical or mental or both. If he was even average we wouldn't be having all this angst right now. Has anyone heard anything on whats happening with him?
  11. because we've only recently had the will to compel decisions on things like this, I think if you were paying attention to history it would be clear.
  12. well, its true from one side I guess. Dunno, I don't find him at all helpful in real info. Donny annoys me too, he seems at his happiest when the Canucks are down.
  13. problem is he's a shill for agents. You have to look at anything he posts as propaganda for his sources.
  14. remember when Miller was going to get 9+? fun times.
  15. controlling the media narrative maybe? assuming JR knew what he was doing, this does give the team a chance to form a more positive identity. Maybe thats a reach and wasn't actually intended, but the guy has been in the game for over 50 years, maybe he knows something.
  16. I guess it depends on whether the DM the victim refers to above is considered an apology. I suppose its a very weak one.
  17. huh, NZ is interesting. I wonder if this is a prelude to a trade?
