i actually enjoy toronto as a city. don't care for their sports teams but i don't understand the contempt that vancouver ppl have towards that city. i've visited multiple times, lived there for a bit, and they don't care about vancouver lol.

it's 3-1. no sweep possible.

i remember when scouts were comparing him to kopitar/joe thornton LOL those first two picks in 2020 aren't looking so pretty at the moment. stutzle is the real deal though.

boeser's had such a challenging life. as a person, you feel for him and the suffering he and his family has been through the past few years. whether it's here or somewhere else, i truly wish the best for brock.

Vancouver's one of the richest cities in Canada and the Canucks are it's biggest sports team so it's actually quite surprising thinking about it now. I think there was news recently about them "testing out" a few blue-coloured seats so hopefully they make the full transition soon. Would look absolutely beautiful in that arena. If we're going to return to the playoffs in the future, might as well return in some style no?

meh. no thanks.

lol. Do you have a problem with comprehension? You've literally proved my point over and over. You're the one that said we can trust this current management because they are former cup winners. I pointed out Benning being an example of a former cup-winner that still failed for this team despite his pedigree of "having a ring" and he was literally the President and GM of this team. Yeah exactly. What did he do? Also, I'll wait until next year to confirm whether this team is actually "backing up" their coaches. Not sure if you have short term memory but at this point last year people were saying that the players love Bruce and they fight hard for him. This year, all we heard was "they gave up on the coach", "they're mentally weak", and "they lack motivation". We'll see what happens, but you do you pal.

No, but Tocchet's head coaching record shows that it doesn't matter like I said. uh yeah? irrelevant. I pointed out that Torts' pedigree was irrelevant because he ultimately failed with the team. Jim Benning was part of cup winning management group, came here for 8 years and he failed too. For whatever reason, "country club" and all that nonsense. The result is the same. Failure. "The team had their own thoughts"? You pretty much proved my point here. It's irrelevant if the management/coach "has a ring" if the team the team "has their own thoughts" and doesn't follow suit with their philosophies and plans. Ending again with the point from my last post, we will see.

That's irrelevant. You're mentioning pedigree and Torts won a cup as a head coach so he technically should "know how to win". Jim Benning also won a ring so he was also involved in a team that "knew how to win". Huh? Our last two coaches? Boudreau is the second winningest head coach in NHL history. TG had no experience. Yeah it's impressive when so and so has this much experience, but it won't mean anything if that can't be replicated where they're at now. Also, you said the players quit playing for the coach during Torts' era. Lacking motivation? Mentally weak? why does that sound so familiar with this group of players and the complaints from early on in the season? I personally don't care if you've won a cup before with whoever, it doesn't mean anything if you can't do it here. But I agree with your last point. Whether we have the right personnel and the correct and an actual effective plan from management remains to be seen.

ok? and?

pay raise?

?? Gonchar and Foote earned their rings as players... Tocchet benefitted off prime Crosby/Malkin and was amongst a few other Assistant coaches who also earned rings. I like Tocchet and yeah he has a ring. But if you're going to mention that, then mention how he also has quite the losing record for all the other teams he actually head coached for. lol In that case, Jim Benning also earned his cup ring as an executive. How did that turn out? We've had Torts who was a cup winning coach too. What did that result in?

I find it extremely frustrating that it's been years and we haven't found legit pieces to that puzzle. Yeah, ok. We got Hronek. What else? He's not the be all, end all to finding solutions for our defence. We'll need to wait and see how the offseason + draft unfolds but so far I'm not too happy at least with what he said. He also makes it sound like making it to the playoffs is the goal as in the end goal. Making it in is nice but I'd rather have a team that could potentially make a run at the cup. Not a team just good enough to squeak into the playoffs. So far management has been making it sound like they just need to add some pieces capable enough to squeak in to the playoffs. Likely true but you're still settling for mediocrity. If so, then that's pretty pathetic and I think management should be canned for a group with further aspirations.

LA Kings. Would like to see Edler win the cup. Class act. Plus I really enjoyed watching what they did to deadmonton yesterday.

I don't really understand this love for the Jets. I hate winnipeg and sincerely wish they fail.

Obvious one. His career point total lol He has more assists than anyone has points I believe. It's not gonna happen ever.

Not really convinced with what Allvin had to say. At all actually. "We were only 6 wins out of the playoffs". That stood out to me. Echoed a lot of a similar sentiment last year and shows that they might be in over their heads a little bit. We still have lots of weaknesses on this team's defence and inconsistent play. I hope it's just what he said and they actually do look at the bigger picture this time. We failed big time because they didn't see the bigger picture and JR famously said he originally thought it would be a "minor surgery" that is actually a "major surgery". The major surgery isn't over lol. If management thinks that then I can see a lot of the same frustration and failures repeating itself again.

The media in this city is absolute garbage. Toxic and scummy a lot of them

Maybe Petey isn't right for the Captain's role after all. Not a knock on him at all but some people just aren't suited for that type of pressure and being the spokesperson for the team.

screw everyone. if my team isn't in, then i could care less about any of the other teams. i've tried to "support" for other teams when the canucks haven't made it but it's really just not the same at all.

one thing's for sure is that there will be a feeling of emptiness when watching canucks games next season. for us millenials/gen z, we grew up with cheech. happy retirement to him

same. i'll probably check in here and there during the finals but i need a break from this 7 month emotional rollercoaster we just went through.

what's even the point of tuning into that lol

i would 100% tune in for this

ray bourque pfft what a bum
