[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators | Dec. 01, 2021
Rindiculous replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
What a goal by JT Miller. That better be up there with McDavid's goals at the end of the year as one of the goals of the year. Dangled their entire team! -
I’ve been taking a break from the Canucks the past few weeks. It’s hard to really care after apathy sets in. This happens from time to time for me, but even when the Canucks were supposed to suck I still stuck with watching the team about half the season because there was something to look forward to. This year, what is there? The team sucks, we have nothing in the pipeline, I don’t know how to improve this team under the current salary cap. I just don’t know what the GM can do besides fire the coach which should have been done a month ago. I just can’t seem to care anymore after all this promise, all these years I’ve invested in this team while rebuilding completely engrossed in what was happening, just to see this giant &^@#ing turd (even if they played well tonight, I could count the games we’ve truly outplayed the opponent on one hand). I feel like the Buffalo fan on the radio a couple years ago, except it’s worse. I don’t feel like yelling, I don’t feel anger…I feel nothing. And I hate it. I bet most of you probably think of me as one of the more optimistic fans, but I’ve got nothing for this…when a team has made a fan like me apathetic, something has seriously gone wrong. I hope this team proves me wrong at some point, but my hope for this team is gone.

I would probably agree with you, however it's something I'd put out there because its been Pearson's line the entire year that has looked good. When Hoglander wasn't on it, Hoglander wasn't looking nearly as good, same with Garland and Horvat as well. -

Actually I find it more funny how it always seems to be the Pearson line. Pearson, Horvat, Garland were good when together. Then Pearson, Horvat, Hoglander were also good. And now finally Pearson, Miller Hoglander while Horvat has had his worst few games of the season without Pearson. I wonder if he's actually the glue. Something about his game just makes his line that much better even though we always rag on him. Good defensively, good in the corners. Maybe not the best vision, hands, or passing ability on the Canucks but he's able to create room for the other offensive guys to create offense. -

Actually was Horvat's worst game of the season. The Hoglander, Miller, Pearson line was actually pretty good for the most part but every other forward sucked. OEL was solid as usual. Halak was good enough for the most part. Hughes was pretty good. Bowey wasn't the worst thing in the world seems like a decent 7D. But yah, besides that no more positives. -

I don't think Huggy is the reason he's getting a lot of ice time on the PP and OT. He's also a really good D in those situations as well so I wouldn't actually make any comments on him. He and OEL have been by far our best players not named Demko this season with maybe Miller as a decently close third. I wish they, along with our other D were able to break up cross ice passes a bit better though. -

You know it's gone from bad to hell frozen over when @MikeyD goes from posting negative reactions to complete sarcasm... -

JB makes it to the end of the year. Rarely are GMs ever let go midseason. Coach goes first and if it doesn't turn around, GM is gone in April. -

If there is any time to fire him, this is the time to do it. If it doesn't happen, I have probably given up hope for this season and hope we can turn it around next one. Very few rookie coaches are able to find success in their first tenure besides Jon Cooper. -

That’s why I put superstars in quotations. Hughes and Demko with the years they are having deserve that title, but outside of that we don’t have it right now. -

This team should not only make the playoffs with this team, but thrive. It’s just that all our “superstar” players with the exception of Hughes have regressed to replacement level players. Fire the coach, if that doesn’t work sell off the core players that aren’t working -

Game management only is for teams that play us…not us -

I love Miller. He may be frustrating at times, but he is gritty, in the opponent's face, great at faceoffs, and great at picking up points. One thing not talked about is that Miller is on an 8 game point streak right now. -

Yah, it's something I've been saying for years. There's only two guys on the Canucks I'd consider being very good at that: OEL and Hughes. -

There's only been one line that I've noticed this game. Why is it that every line Pearson is on always seems to be the most noticeable one in a good way? Maybe there's something to him...
