  1. What's the excuse for the other years? Sure there's been some successes but this team has historically drafted and developed poorly. Especially dmen. Excuses are for losers, good teams don't have excuses, they have results. It's been better lately. Sounds to me like your defending previous Canucks management and their drafting. If your fine with it good for you. I'm not.
  2. I'd like him more as a winger. He'd make a good, grinding winger and I'm shocked he hasn't tried it in order to stick in the pros.
  3. Nonetheless, not one player the Canucks drafted that year came close to being and NHLer. Pathetic, I believe there have been other years that closely resemble that result in the 2000's. Thank goodness the drafting has improved.
  4. I must be bored because I just HockeyDB'd the Turris draft year. I looked up the Canucks picks that year. Whoaa, depressing, brutal. 2007, don't look unless you have a strong stomach, lol.
  5. This. All the focus is on goaltending. McMe and Drais are horrid at puck retrieval, and in their own zone. McMe and his end to end rushes don't work most times. It's ridiculous these two keep escaping criticism. Especially on between period panel conversations. It's like they are forbidden from talking smack about the Golden Boys. How many players has McMe made better? None.
  6. Honesty, if the return was right. They could be a better team with way more depth.
  7. He was unreal in the first. Playing real well, I hope they rest him too.
  8. I think I counted three attempted end to end rushes by McD, maybe one nice pass by McD, maybe zero takeaways? Great hilite real player, not a leader imho.
  9. No sympathy from me. I see that and all I can think of is the slew foot on OEL, and the submarine on a veteran Salo.
  10. For sure. If Miller isn't extending here, all options should be considered.
  11. I like that. I believe the contract extension window will open for him this summer. Let JR see where Miller is at. You never know, maybe he loves it here and wants to see it through. He is the Alpha here and maybe that's what brings out the best in him. I like keeping him, and maybe field offers, and a take it or leave it attitude going into trade the deadline imho.
  12. Translation for other teams. "If you want him, you're gonna have to pay up".
  13. Bo is worth 7 times 7. If that's what it takes to re-sign him, do it.
  14. Really liking Lammikko. Big body, plays north-south. Perhaps a little upside there if he keeps going to the net.
  15. It's McD as well though. He's part of the proble as well, but no one will ever say it. Times like this I can't help but think of what a complete superstar Crosby is.
  16. For sure. The reporter is a tool. Gunning for his own attention and trying to be a part of the story. He's media, he has nothing to do with the story but report and tell it. He's a goof.
  17. Nice interview Draisatel. Maybe something around "I need to be better with my d zone coverage and overall compete on getting pucks back". No wonder that team is a mess with leaders like him on it. I remember Henrik answering the hard questions, taking the hits when we sucked. Bo doing the same. 2011 when the Canucks lost the cup, the twins stayed and answered every question with class. All while gutted inside. Thanks again Hank, Daniel, and now Bo for representing this franchise with class.
  18. To lazy to look through the thread. A reminder that JB picked up Motte for an expiring Vanek. So many were disappointed in no pick in exchange for Vanek, who no team really wanted. Hmmm, well done JB, well done.
