JB had to go cause he was just an extension of Aquaman and the baffling, extension he gave Green, is further proof he earned his walking paper. I agree, that grass is not always better on the other side but a big part of the past regime, remains: Francesco.

Will The Real JT Miller Please Stand Up?
ShawnAntoski replied to Junkyard Dog's topic in Canucks Talk
Imo, the on ice mess, is just a symptom of what is happening off the ice. Saw my first game yesterday and their were too many individual plays, at the cost of remaining within the game plan or structure. The OEL give away, is a perfect example cause just like the Green era, the minute munchers will always get their ice time, despite any gaffes and being one, of the highest paid player, he seems to also be one of the most complacent - but the Sedins did seem to vouch for him, based on the reports/rumours during that time. Anyways, the loss of Walker & Shaw for (the rigid) Cull & Yeo, is a loss being ignored, by most and it seems to had had a bigger effect on the team or for some/most of the players. We had all, seen how this roster is like, when it doesn't like their coach or staff. As for Miller, he seems to be putting on a show of effort but he ain't really sticking, to what the coaches are selling. -
Predict The Score Contest: CAR @ VAN Oct 24 2022

3-2 Canes Aho -
In 2022 your comment has more merit - but not necessarily applicable to some; perhaps to most, depending on where. Anyways, ANOTHER miserable start to a season but a winning streak, here & there should appease most.

That Jersey, should have had Aquaman on the back cause this whole mess, is on him: he helped create the current roster and cap messed. As a long time fan, the teams past/current failure are not on me cause I just merely, enjoy watching hockey and I like the Canucks, for a looooong time now.

Not sure I agree cause the action of one should not condemn the group

[PGT] Buffalo Sabres at Vancouver Canucks | Oct. 22, 2022
ShawnAntoski replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Did say, the Trotz TYPE but we all knew what happened to a somewhat similar coach with a Cup AND how the player & the fans ran him out of town: Torts. The team from the owner down, needs to show a united front cause the current roster is: fickle, entitled & divided, and it shows on the, on ice product. How they are losing, is still the same from when Green was the coach: too easy & they are their own worst enemy; and it seems the loss of Walker & Shaw for the rigid Cull & Yeo, has brought back the same attitude from the roster. Imo, the biggest changes that has affected the team negatively and hasn't been mentioned alot, is the loss of Walker and Shaw. -

I was going to pick Sandlak, but I chose Antoski cause he was younger and those Canucks years, he played on were better -

Would rather avoid any personal stuff, about Aquaman cause no one, is without any flaws. Let's just stick to hockey and let the authorities & karma deal with him cause we don't know the whole story & intentions -

Yup and right now, there is a VERY GOOD chance, I will also not see them win a cup - thanks Aquaman.. -

Don't mind Francesco, as much cause he will not be, very willing to relocate the Canucks. He just needs to realized that he is clueless, when it comes to winning a Cup and hopefully, the embarrassing start to ANOTHER season, should convince him to stop, with the (rumoured) meddling/retooling and allow HIS team, to go through a PROPER rebuilding phase. -

ShawnAntoski replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I read it and good points - but I am mainly, looking at Aquaman cause unless, he fully buys into what HIS FO is doing, then that FO is just handcuffed. The current FO & staff are not signed to any longtermed deals and I don't see any candidates willing to work with Francesco, unless that person just wants a paycheck and a title. Gorton would had been nice but he went the Molson brothers cause they are ready for a shakeup & a full rebuild, which he seems to like - just look at how he rebuilt the Rags the roster & farm. Like I said in my posts, it all starts with Francesco and hopefully, he has suffered enough embarrassment with his meddling to allow for a rebuild. -

Hindsight has only proven those fans that NHL Purgatory, is where the team, was/is headed, when retooling strategy fails, at the cost of drafting & developing, is my point. I had been keenly, watching the teams willing to rebuild, since the Pens did it, under Patrick to transition from Lemiux to Crosby and I believe JR benefitted a great deal, from the foundational pieces Patrick built up, through the draft - but Patrick ALSO had Lemieuxs' (majority/part owner) full blessings to do a FULL rebuild, is what most people tend to left out, when discussing that period. Anyways, Yzerman was given the same opportunity, by Illich; and it all starts with Francesco - is my biggest point. -

The current roster is fickle and entitled due to too many highly paid players, just doing the bare minimum. I don’t think Colton would be the answer cause he will just get chewed out, by the current roster; and preferably, he stays in Abby & makes a name for himself before a promotion. Perhaps, a (rigid) Trotz type that has the ring & resume ? -

Hindsight. Has Francesco gone through enough embarrassment to allow one ? Cause the roster he helped built with his very compliant GM, is still what the staff has to go with. The retooling gamble failed and Francesco and JB didn't have a backup plan cause his GM, was too busy sacrificing drafting & development for the present. NHL purgatory is the unintended result, if a clueless owner and a malleable GM, is in charge. -

Cull & Yeo = Green. But I question, why Bruce allowed them to join. Has Bruce's already, checked out and is he being hamstrung, by the FO cause he is on his last year and the Canucks are tying out Yeo or Cull to be his replacement ? The BAD drama associated with the Francesco owned Canucks, is very different from when McCaw & Griffiths owned the team: both were hands off, for the most part and they were barely mentioned.. -

Not sure, which presser or interview - but he did acknowledged, that Allvin is being tasked, with a retool cause of Demko plus some other 'goods pieces. I wonder how Allvins version of a retool, will do ? -

The new FO, seems to be letting Aquaman marinate with the roster he & JB built. Hard for the new FO, to make the moves they think is best, if the owner has not bought in. -

More time in NHL Purgatory or time to sell & pick in the top 3, of the upcoming loaded draft ?
