[PGT] St. Louis Blues at Vancouver Canucks | Mar. 30, 2022
Gawdzukes replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Great posts guys. I've been saying this for months now. This team is lacking maturity in it's core and the leadership required to play responsibly in all 3 zones and in different situations. The core will mature but right now it is seriously lacking on this team. That's 2 games Petterson blew now. He also gave up a short handed breakaway on the PP that lead to only Detroit goal in a 1-0 game. It's Gawd awful play and someone needs to be able to get that through to him. Whether it's the Captains, teammates, or coaches. Right now it's unacceptable decision making and he's not listening to anyone except his own ego. I still love Petey but it's something he absolutely has to fix. Same with Hughes and Miller who were both playing D and somehow got roasted by a guy 4 feet in front of them. No team is going anywhere with those attitudes and performances. -

People should have the right to speak their mind if they're not infringing on others. This thought Police thing you guys have going on is too much. Obviously this is on everyone's mind because we're all talking about it and here you are crapping on people for being Canucks fans and engaging in conversation. It's not right that people should come to the forum and be made to feel bad for speaking their mind. Surely the topic is relevant to the situation and warrants discussion. It doesn't make you a better fan because you refuse to face reality. -

lol, only like 7 ... I tried last night when I was showing it to my pa and I didn't get it even after about 40 tries and gave up. I think I was due but at 1.8% the odds are not in our favor. I think the math would dictate a team should win every 50 years or so with those odds. I was going to figure it out but I might just burn one down instead. -

[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
Gawdzukes replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Exactly. For all we know maybe Carolina or Florida go on a captivating SCF run and the only thing missing was what Miller brings. They shift gears a bit and throw us a great package for Miller. Teams are often making surprise moves and eye-opening gambles. -

Every team is going to have a rethink after the season is over. A heck of a lot could and always does change every year. Any number of teams could be interested with a wide array of possibilities. As long as something happens in the summer is very important, whether he signs with us or is traded. I still think we'll be offered a decent package. I hope we take it. Just as an aside another first rounder (not the main piece) would be fun at the draft. The last couple of years were pretty bleak for picks. -

Haha yeah and then hear the excuses like they were going to score anyway so no point in backchecking. Said no good coach or player anywhere. At least show your teammates you tried. The thing that's irritated me for years is his lack of commitment to D. Part of it is because he's not fast or quick but his idea of defence is skating/coasting about 2 feet behind his mark on rushes. Close enough to hopefully get a stick in if a pass comes but more importantly he's a poacher hoping for a turnover that gives him an odd man rush the other way. I lost count of how many times the puck ends up in our own net when all he had to do was cover his man. I've noticed this for years now so it's not like I'm just reaching or anything. Don't even get me going on the no look passes in front of his own net. It doesn't outweigh the positives but there are definitely some holes in his game. He's a great offensive player, good size, good faceoffs, hits, plays with emotion, but he's weak defensively and completely gives up on plays when they don't go his way. -

You mentioned you're of the retain and support argument. I can appreciate where you're coming from. I see both sides but I think we should be re-tooling. We simply need too many parts to keep this thing rolling along, even as poorly as it has been imo, and very little flexibility to add. I'm not willing to hang my hat on the BB part of the season and ignore everything else. At the end of the day we're still not currently a playoff team. My main reason for feeling this way though is I decided to really support the firing of Green and JB (after getting peppered for months on CDC) and get behind the new management group who themselves stated the need for some big changes. I feel it's a great opportunity to do the right things for once. Things like not surrendering retirement contracts in order to appease the fans that will for sure hurt the club sooner than later. If JB were here we'd definitely be loading up for one final kick at the can and then rebuilding in 2 years. The management change gets us a get out of purgatory card. We should be using it. It would be a massive mistake to not trade him before the season starts. Way to much risk. -

These guys are so blinded by Miller love it's absurd. You can't even be realistic about anything unless it's a 100% love in. What about that horse$&!# play where he didn't tie up his man in front yesterday and blew the third goal? And then there is the amount of times he gives up on plays and puts the team at risk making donkey plays in his own end or deking as last man at the blueline. He's a real good player but those plays are opposite of good leadership. He does have some shortcomings, like all players, but some people can't see any of them.
