[Signing] Canucks sign Tucker Poolman
wai_lai416 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
i'm still not a fan of poolman.. he hasn't been bad.. but he's pretty terrible at moving the puck out of the zone or moving it up to a player.. he's always passing it east west in his own zone that leads to a lot of turnover for whomever his partner is -
he's been brutal?? other than the 2 7 goal drubbing he's probably the most consistent player we have on the team? it's his fault the team doesn't score any goals and i guess it's his fault he doesn't bail out the worse PK in the league that just let the other team keep possession of the puck and move it all over the ice with the defense can't block a shot or win a faceoff to clear.. canucks are the 8th best team in goals against 5v5.. we blaming the goalie on PK now? lol and i care coz i watch hockey and i'd gladly cheer for any of our players to win a medal? i can really care less if canada wins or not with 0 canucks players on it.

i wonder how piss demko is this coaching staff/team have pretty much played him off of the olympic roster and a chance at a medal. he was projected as the 3rd goalie for team usa behind gibbons and hallebuyck. i don't see how he even remotely have a chance at that 3rd spot anymore. it's not even his fault as really he have been great most games but the team/coaching tanked it for him.
-
Lol we need to stop giving the other teams goalie credit.. we just randomly throws puck at the net most aint even a scoring chance just like all the other games.. their goalie barely broke a sweat making those 40 saves just like fleury and all the other goalie before them. We make them look better good on the stats lol but they literally did nothing
-
i'm not saying criticism is unfair because they have played like crap but the constant thrashing and trashing at the players ain't going to motivate or get them out of the slump
-
Racism and harassment are part of life now too gotta get used to it?
-
It's not the fans fault sure but do they help by being toxic to their players? Don't think so. Imagine all the ppl hounding on boeser ep hughes whoever else on their Instagram Twitter whatever. Those will get them out of their slump and motivate them to play harder right? Just publicly trash on them.
-
yes i value a high pick over all the player we have. after all good majority of the fan base here are calling EP or Hughes or Boeser or Bo trash every couple post in the GDT PGT so technically we don't even have any talent anyways. the new generation are all over the social media, you don't think they see what the fan base are saying about them or trashing about them? with how toxic the fanbase is towards their player i wonder if some of them are not playing to try to get traded lol
-
meh what do we have for trade at the deadline? we don't really have players on expiring contract other than Motte. anything we trade won't be a rental for a contending team as there will be another year + left. anything we try to move will have to include baggage coming back the other way. not worth it..
-
meh i'm sure every player on this roster already lost confidence in the organization after seeing this disaster of a start and the organization basically did nothing after 20 games lol.
-
meh let's just keep green till the end of the season that way we have a legitimate shot at finishing dead last. firing green and hiring competent coaches will only waste this disastrous season by finishing outside of a playoff spot but not trash enough for a top 3 pick

Does ownership still allow Jim Benning to make any moves?
wai_lai416 replied to aqua59's topic in Canucks Talk
what's there to read about? owner meddling in the operation? nothing new -
[poll] Who should be the Captain of the Vancouver Canucks?
wai_lai416 replied to Me_'s topic in Canucks Talk
I dont think Miller should be the captain either. Theres way too much rumors about Miller in the locker room. We probably don't have much atm in terms of good captain material anyways so horvat will keep it till he hits ufa and leave and prolly OEL will become the captain for the time being when horvat if and does leave or traded -
oh i'm sure all the bad contracts that we ended up buying out firing WD firing torts are all adding up for aquaman a good chunk of the seats are bought out by corporate season ticket holder anyways so he doesn't care

If this season bombs, do you support a rebuild ?
wai_lai416 replied to MaxVerstappen33's topic in Canucks Talk
I'm down for anything but Benning and green gotta be gone as a starter. If Benning is retained and allowed to do the rebuild I'd be down to start the sell the team chant at every game. With all the latest trade rumors and the refusal to fire the coach seems like Benning doesn't have the green light to fire green. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
wai_lai416 replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No thx I rather wait for the TDL when more team opens up to push for the playoff or a team loses a key player and get desperate. Don't see why Fiala would even consider re-signing long term with this organization and not just take the 1 year arbitration and walk to ufa. If we can't afford to keep Miller what makes us think we can afford to trade Miller and keep the core + Fiala? -
Lol who's giving you anything significant for a player that's struggling so hard so far this season and showing no signs of life? It'll be pennies on the dollar and teams will be offering a cap dump plus b grade prospect/draft pick at best

Canucks record on drafting and developing talent
wai_lai416 replied to fanfor42's topic in Canucks Talk
sure if u are basing it on current production there's prolly a case for u to say demko in the top 20 but in an actual draft no one is going to spend a top 20 pick on a goalie that's 5-6 years away unless there's absolutely nothing available -
Canucks record on drafting and developing talent
wai_lai416 replied to fanfor42's topic in Canucks Talk
demko will not be a top 20 pick in a redraft he'll be in the 20+ in a redraft. simple reason most teams will not spend a first rounder on a goalie unless they know the goalie is 100% a sure thing and can be ready in a couple of years. that's why you rare see goalie go in the first round unless they think you are NHL ready in couple of years or your talent is way too good to pass up on. winnipeg hit on 6 or 7 1st rounders in a row during their rise. calgary actually gotten decent value in their drafts.. Gaudreau in the 4th round? Ferland and granlund had an ok career. dube and andersson is doing decent. Mangiapane is only like 2nd in the league in scoring right now and Adam fox in the 3rd round i mean sure he never played for calgary coz he refuses but their ability to get talents in late round picks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything we have gotten lol only thing close to comparable is Demko, hoglander looks like a beaut but calgary have gotten way more and actually developed and plays for the team.
