  1. I gotta admit I wasn't a fan of removing the white but there is so much white on the ice and boards i think they will really pop. I didn't like the alternates last year with the green stripes no white at first, but they grew on me and became my favorite jersey last year. I like it. It's what we all have wanted for jerseys but it's got a slightly modern tweak. These will sell like hot cakes and once they realize most people want this jersey it will ultimately become our regular threads again, hopefully. Now let's hope the on ice product next year changes with the new alternates.
  2. I know it's early in their tenure and I have defended them on this board ad nauseum but the way they are treating Boudreau this year, the public criticism, now reports of hiring Tochett when Bruce isn't even an interim coach. He's the gd head coach. Show some respect. I am so done with this team. One thing after another, this is the most ashamed I've been as a fan. I was alive for the Messier days but I was in elementary school, didn't quite understand the magnitude until later in life. This Era is just embarrassing.
  3. The dark ages. The expansion days The same division as the Gretzky dynasty Oilers days. The Messier days. And today. The Coach Killer days.
  4. I'm not convinced Miller is finished. Its just one season. Miller has been our best forward for the last 3 seasons prior. I still think he has lots in the tank. Brock on the other hand has been steadily declining. Brock isn't unmovable though, OEL is one of the largest anchors in the whole league.
  5. You really can't say that after a year. Who knows what happens this off season. Kuzmenko and lekerrimaki could be future stars. You can't predict the future. I don't Want this mgmt to have as long of a leash as Benning had, it just gave jimbo more time to ruin this team. But you can't assess a management groups job with such little time and especially with the mess he has to clean up
  6. Yep. We made fun of Edmonton for years. We are the new 2007 to 2016 Oilers Except we dont win draft lotterys... yet
  7. Lol I want them to tank so bad but I can't help but jump up and cheer when they score. First world problems
  8. I still think JR and Allvin haven't had long enough to prove themselves and there is signs that they are committed to a proper rebuild, rumors of wanting to trade horvat, Miller, them saying that Petey is the only untouchable etc. Baby steps hopefully.
  9. I know lots of people, life long die hards, who have stopped supporting or following the team, completely indifferent and apathetic towards the team and its all because of aquilini. I have heard so many times "until that clown sells the team I Want nothing to do with them". And I completely agree with your comment on being wreckless with the cap, hit the nail on the head there. I used to defend FA. "He Cares he spends to the cap bla bla" but you're 100% right. Wreckless meddling goof. More money than brains.
  10. Undersized swedes are the key to the mediocrity cup. 2 home playoff games every 5 years is aquilini's Stanley cup.
  11. That just compounds to my comment about the OEL trade being the worst in Canucks salary cap history. What type of players were Beagle, Roussel and Eriksson? Who's had the worst pk by far, practically NHL history, since that trade? Just embarrassing times to be a fan of this team. Jim Benning with all this hindsight is the worst GM in our history.
  12. We were filled with expiring contracts at the time. We were on the down swing. This team was supposed to be on the upswing. Young players getting better every year, most bad money contracts were 1 or 2 years from expiring. And Benning completely de railed that with that trade. This is 100% the worst trade in the salary cap Era in my opinion. Is Ekman Larsson a better player than Eriksson? 100% but this trade affects the team much worse. Plus this flew right over my head, LE was a signing not a trade, actually the only "LE trade" is the same trade I'm talking about lol.
  13. Miller is getting too much flack right now. He has been our best player for the last 3 seasons before this year. He will bounce back. That OEL trade was the worst trade in Canucks salary cap history (since 2005)
  14. If we are still in the same position after the draft lottery I bet Chicago wins another cup before us. Jim Benning ruined this team
  15. I meant position for the future. Keep the discussion to hockey please
  16. It's a gamble regardless. Wallowing in mediocrity will get us nowhere. Either way we will have losing seasons. Would you rather be us right now or Chicago?
  17. Trade Horvat with salary retained for this season, with Horvat signing an extension with new team for a 1st plus a depth centre. Trade Kuzmenko for a high 2nd rd pick and a right handed depth defensemen Keep Miller. Tank tank tank without 2 of our most offensive players and Miller playing C Win the lottery Draft Bedard The Bedard effect opens up free agent interest. Trade for or sign an RD somehow in off season (I didn't bother to look at who the UFA are this year) but the Bedard effect will open up avenues. If we don't win the lottery it will be a dark period going forward. I bet Petey and Hughes request trades in the distant future.
  18. I hope we can keep lots of guys. Our offense is awesome. But our D and structure and heart and consistency is just .. I dunno. I've ran out of optimism. I don't believe in this core group of guys and I want a rebuild so bad. Almost every top team went through a full rebuild at some point. I hate Aquilini
  19. He's 26, a free asset, he would fetch a 1st if he keeps it up. We are capped out. By the time this team is going to be able to be competitive again with this terrible salary structure.. Hughes and Petey will be close to 30. Gotta start the full scale rebuild now Better late than never
