  1. Appreciate, the write up and will plan a trip to Abby - cheers
  2. Any of our plug all stars playing tonight cause I have to talk to my bookie soon ? Also, is Colorado playing there backup as well ?
  3. I get the business decision(s) but I am just not supportive of it cause I would rather see prospects development become an organizational strength and a farm team by definition means prospects not plugs. Anyways, with JBs' tendency to trade the 1st round picks, it perhaps doesn't matter to expect any prospect with any draft pedigree to be playing there anytime soon; and at this point, I had just accepted to expect more hyped up late round gems to make up the prospect cupboard. BTW - had you gone and was it worth it?
  4. Had anybody gone to watch the farm team - full of plugs ? Is it a worthwhile expense to do so cause I am wondering, if the prospects are being showcased (alot) or is it an all star team of waiver wire cast offs instead ? Any feedback would be much appreciated before I spend my Pesos - thanks in advance !
  5. Right now - the Cancuks need a Jim Mora moment to give this roster a much needed shock treatment. Very, different from Greens' last presser - lots of shat & giggles.
  6. Not sure; but this is a discussion forum and Gillis' name tends to pop up when other poster are wanting to make a point cause Gillis' tenure, is one of the teams most successful period and probably, (is) still fresh on most fans mind - imo. I had high hope for this season after all the off season hype.
  7. JB vs Gillis debate goes on cause Gillis has the trophies and JB has the picks. The offseason hype, seems to be the biggest factor to fan frustration due to the disastrous start to this season. I was really, hoping to watching a competitive team on the ice and hopefully, put to rest the JB vs Gillis debate. Gillis would had been a better PoHO (imo) rather than a GM.
  8. Hoping for a good effort tonight and not another UNINSPIRING loss. Just wondering, if anybody else saw the last presser with Green ?
  9. Same; but JB with Aquamans' approval doubled down with Green: by re signing him & giving him a deeper roster - to perhaps re evaluate an up & coming coach in the NHL. Not sure, where the narrative came from - that Green is a desired coach around the league - cause his record tends to indicate & confirm that he is mediocre coach.
  10. We will just have to wait & see cause like I just stated earlier, Aquaman has not been in a similar position as Canuck owner before, so there is no reference point, as to what he MIGHT do. Regardless, I dont see them making a leadership move - right now cause just like last year, it is already an uphill battle to make a playoff spot.
  11. Just a hunch cause good chance, Aquaman & JB would be unwilling to admit to a mistake this early in the season by firing Green, after signing him to a (baffling) 2yr extension - imo. Hence, the only move that seems to make sense - right now, is to [try] to control the narrative and make a trade, to buy the Canuck brass some time till (perhaps) later into this season or after, before making any leadership decision. Just have to wait & see by paying attention, at what is being 'leaked' and pushed by the media; but who really, knows cause the Canucks have not been in this position under Aquaman before. Really excited, to see how this leadership group will navigate the team out of this.
  12. Imo, the locker room cancer narrative is a scapegoat to buy the Canuck brass some time. Hopefully, a coaching change happens before any more trades -.unless, it is ChaseOn, Hunt or any other plugs for 7th rounders....
  13. Probably, not the same but the off ice drama seems to be more interesting than the on ice product.
  14. Yeah, seems like Abby, is not being operated as a traditional farm team, rather, as another hockey team in the lower mainland. Personally, given the disastrous start, I was going to take a trip to watch a game but instead decided not to go cause Iam not really interested in watching a bunch of plugs or waiver wire castoffs. Sure they might win be winning AHL cups (potentially); but I want to see our prospects winning those cups not a bunch of waiver wire cast offs - seems to be another important detail, Aquaman missed or chose to ignore to make $. I get it - it is his business - but I would rather not go and watch waiver wire plugs winning against another teams prospect pool.
  15. Plus, he seems to have enough douche in him to perhaps trigger Aquaman but enough charisma to still make it work. Anyways, not going to happen but it is fun speculating about Pronger as GM or PoHO.
