  1. Not that it matters but once again we put in the trade deadline loser column by the talking heads. Things don't change do they (can't say they're wrong)
  2. But we picked up 37 yr old Brad Richardson to replace him....yup getting younger and faster...WTF... I just have no words..I'm gobsmacked is all that comes to mind
  3. So we do nothing serious. Dump cap and a 3rd pairing Dman..obviously someone thinks we have just the right group to still make a playoff run and after the road trip when we are out of the race it's too late to do anything,,,what a total cluster FK..or more appropriately SNAFU . It's getting hard to care anymore
  4. I was a teen when I watched the very first Canuck game so I've laboured through this sheet for over 50 years...nothing changes
  5. Then they're just as inept as the previous group. "Running out of time" is unacceptable.
  6. I'll be a bit choked if Boeser doesn't move. Unless we can sign him for less then his 7.5 mil qualifying offer I think he's worth more getting some assets whatever those may be, Def NOT worth 7.5 IMO
  7. I just hope they don't trade Schenn
  8. Putting it all on Green is a bit of stretch IMO..EP was money his first year, top notch,... 2nd year he was also really good (who was his coach then BTW). Third year was OK but started to see a drop off, but then he got injured that year so...??. This year a totally different player. It's not just the drop in stats it's his offensive play in general (defensive is still ok I think). He bobbles the puck, misses a lot of plays and just is not the dominant, dynamic player he was the first couple of years. Like someone said the Canucks have to figure out what he is, not what he was and that's tough to do (Can you say us on Cam Neely or Pittsburgh on Naslund). One more year I think for management to figure that out.
  9. Have you looked at his stats or watched any games...that's your idea of responding???????????
  10. Petey @ 9.5 mil...based on his play Bwahahahaha....would need a big turnaround
  11. For F sake it was one bad game, 2 days ago everyone was all a glow after we looked so good against Winnipeg. The positive guys come out after a win the "blow it all up" guys after a loss. We are a Jekyll and Hyde group of posters. I think the positive posters are generally more astute then the downers in their analysis. IMO.
  12. If Edmonton went for this the men in the white suites would come and take their management group far, far away
  13. What a great way to end a tough road trip. Team showed a lot of character especially this game with Bo and Garland out, lovin it!!! Looking at the team stats the top two Plus/Minus players are Hughes at +11 and Schenn at +8. Never would have expected that at the start of the season, each for different reasons of course.
  14. In the late 70's the Canucks drafted Jere Gillis #4 overall. He scored 23 goals in his rookie year of which 18 or 20 were in the first half of the year (it was a long time ago lol). He never scored more then 13 the rest of his career. Point is that initial success is no guarantee of long range success. Hope that isn't the case for EP and BB
  15. Reading through the posts I see quite a few comments on our defense being weak. I agree we need one more good dman but overall I think our defense has been surprisingly good. OEL has been pretty steady, Schenn has been way better then expected eating up pretty big minutes (who woulda thought) and Hughes has been his dynamic self. Demko has been a bit off the last two games but that happens over the course of a season. As many posters have pointed out the big problem has been or top guys not contributing goals as expected especially EP and to a lesser extent Brock. Don't know how we get them on track. I suspect that Rutherford's patience will not last much longer. Whatever he does I hope he's smarter then Edmonton's guys and stays away from Kane. He would be poison in the room regardless of his talent. Yeah everybody deserves a second chance but he used up his second chance about 5 chances ago. Hope we get things going again on Saturday.
  16. Betteman has to do something to stop our streak, we're getting too close to playoff contention.
  17. Schenn has a two year deal at 750K per. He'll be here next year.... especially if his solid play continues. I agree no trade zee Captain.
  18. Yeah our defense appears weak on paper but OEL has been solid defensively even though he is probably past his years when he was a dominant guy. Hughes has been much better defensively while still being his amazing offensive self. Schenn has been solid and a pleasant surprise playing big minutes and hitting as usual and being a plus player. Myers has really stepped it up of late. Poolman and Harmonic have been OK. Burroughs has had some good moments. Hunt has been Meh. We just need one more solid RH defenseman and I think we'll be good to go. Butt I'm a hopeless optimist.
