    Did Rutherford really build those teams or were the core pieces of those teams already bin place when he took over?   That’s what I would like to know in depth.

    Kessel, Bonino, Hörnqvist & Hagelin were all JR acquisitions & all played a HUGE role in both Cup wins. That HBK line was massive in the 2016 run, Kessel was the playoffs leading scorer that year. I live in Pittsburgh and know a lot of Penguins fans, in fact I’m married to one. I hear a lot about the team. JR played a huge role in those back to back Cups.

    Some CDCers seem to think a great GM is perfect and never makes a single bad trade, a single bad signing, and must be able to draft 3 or 4 players that play in the NHL every year...

    So accurate, even the best GMs make errors. He made some awesome moves when he got to Pittsburgh. He gets a huge chunk of the credit for those back to back Cup wins. He acquired Kessel, Hornqvist, Bonino & Hagelin…all key contributors to their Cup teams

    If anyone ever thinks about wanting to hire Green they should just watch this game and that will quickly change their mind. 
     

    Green should never ever be a head coach in the NHL ever again. 

    I know right?! I keep hearing from the media “oh Green will absolutely work in the NHL again, and soon.” Because his record was so impeccable? The bubble year is an asterisk and we were sliding when the pandemic hit, so we were very lucky to get to the playoffs that year. Other than that, we were never close! He’s probably my least favorite Canucks coach ever, that includes Mike Keenan.

    I never understood the need to complicate a PP. I once heard Jim Robson say that the late Roger Nielsen, whose statue stands outside Rogers arena, made it as absolutely simple as possible.

    ”Put the puck on the net, and everyone crash the net for a rebound!” I have no idea why that’s so difficult for teams that are struggling on the PP to grasp.

    The most beautiful PP goal I ever saw from the Canucks wasn’t aesthetically “pretty” at all. Trevor Linden’s OT winner against Calgary in ‘94. Bure with the nice low shot, Vernon can’t handle the rebound, Linden shovels it in.

    Hockey is certainly not an easy game to play, but what you need to do to be successful is extremely simple to understand.

    What Are Our Options?

    As fans nothing,

     

    period.

     

    I myself, I won't watch.  I'll look at highlights etc but that's it.  No more merch, no more games, no paid anything.  Speaking with my wallet and refusal to view.  Shame because the kids were supposed to get Nucks jerseys for christmas

    Also, do not support advertisers. If most of the Canucks fan base stops supporting the team financially and the advertisers too, it’ll almost certainly send a message
