  1. why do we have studnicka again? just to get rid of dipietro? we have lazar back and guys already in the system that play at least as well as he does. not saying he's been absolutely terrible (tbh i havent even noticed him when he's played) but really seems like a useless move
  2. Petey is a franchise talent. he took all the criticism personally and i love how he's responded this season. future selke winner
  3. the owner making all these excuses about how this fanbase can't handle a rebuild. no. it's YOU that can't handle a rebuild. infuriates me that he uses this fanbase as a scapegoat with his sorry excuses.
  4. its so obviously aquilini that's stagnated this team into mediocrity. he has no vision whatsoever. literally the canucks are just his bank account. doesn't care. just wants all the money he can try to make
  5. The classiest thing the leafs have ever done. RIP to the legend. A true Swedish hockey icon.
  6. I'm glad he was honoured earlier this season. RIP to him and condolences to the family.
  7. not crazy. a bold clear cut decision that would actually help fans with a breathe of fresh air. because we would finally have clarity. actually the start of a commitment to something rather than all this wishy washy "retool on the fly" crap we've been doing for the past decade.
  8. Well I was talking about Edmonton in that comment of mine you replied to. maybe you oughta look at the context.
  9. edmonton was in the conference finals and lost out to colorado. have you? its literally a quick google search.
  10. thanks for the reminder. i'm not saying i didn't cheer for this team, but you can't ignore the fact that we didn't have the most likeable characters on this team too
  11. are you the same guy that talks about how certain players shouldn't play for this team because they're "un-respectable"? lmao. you do know this team once employed and glorified the likes of Kesler (slept with teammates wife), Torres (the headhunter), Lapierre (because he's such a classy guy), and Burrows (the guy who thinks domestic abuse is acceptable to chirp another player for)? This guy's even in the Ring of Honour for the Canucks. why do you think vancouver was once the most hated team in the league? i'm dying of laughter with your hypocrisy.
  12. uhh.. they made the playoffs last year and made the conference finals just to refresh your memory? i'm aware of their contract situation but i don't really know how you're comparing their situation to ours. even going into the season, lots of hockey analysts were expecting edmonton to contend. not vancouver. not saying it's a sure bet but they're still certainly in a better position than we are. they're in that race for a playoff spot at the moment while we're nearly double digits behind.
  13. i don't feel bad for him. Van is a much better city than Edmonton, however yeah now that you mention it, I can see on the depth chart he'd be down the lineup compared to where he is here.
  14. the team with the worse record is the men's team? as much as you hate edmonton, facts are facts and at the moment they're in a better place than we're in. no need to be triggered by a simple comment.
  15. lol. well that's my point. they have 2 all world players and at the moment are in a better condition than we are in standings wise.
  16. well.. he'd be playing with a better record and an even better generational talent in McDavid which would probably make him at a PPG or even better..
  17. just put bruce out of his misery for goodness sake. what management is doing is inhumane at this point.
  18. you'll get diagnosed psychiatrically with bipolar disorder if you are a fan of this team. not even kidding.
  19. lol im glad we have the world cup on now and we have a hopeful canadian squad.... and i have myself a distraction. this team actually is just sad. no other way to describe it. sad.
  20. No matter the result, obviously the issue going into the season that everyone already knew about was that weak defensive core. However, we've now sort of discovered a new and probably more daunting issue than the actual defensive talent level. That's the mentality. It's a matter of consistent cohesion as a group mentally. You can have all the talent in the world but if you have a pretty weak/lazy mentality and decide not to show up on nights, and even between periods, then it just shows that there is a very big culture issue in the dressing room. We've seen multiple instances when we're down in games going into the 2nd and 3rd and there is just no urgency, lazy penalties and pathetic play. Really the same vice-versa with our leads, we just fizzle out defensively and aren't as sharp as we should be (dare I say, we just don't care at times). In that case, the talent level of the personnel on defence could also be questioned, but you shouldn't be giving up multiple goal leads a literally historical amount of times. I still think this roster needs a refresh unless they can somehow mature drastically in their mental capacities not to crumble under pressure. You just can't have that attitude come playoff time when there WILL be much more adversity throughout multiple playoff series/rounds. This is child's play compared to the mental hurdles you get into if you even make the playoffs.
