  1. Dude is richer than all of us combined. He's not out of money.
  2. "MUST FOLLOW SET PLAY, if you don't follow set play, you get benched"
  3. Is it? Seems like even with the majority of the bottom six swapped out, largely due to the injury, we are seeing the same results. Coach?
  4. Aquilini is not really short on cash. He's a very diversified investor. I think he should be responsible with HIS money, given how covid has played out.
  5. "That's a good young team over there." "I didn't like our second period start. We didn't get the right bounces. Give them credit, the other team didn't stop."
  6. Is it? We've had the same coaches for the entire duration. How do we know it's not the coaches that are that? So much focus is on Benning, but at this point, the coaches should be responsible as well.
  7. We haven't picked a bad player in the first round in quite a while. Virtanen wasn't even that bad of a pick. Not a great pick, but not bad either. Dal Colle and Fleury would have to be worse picks.
  8. I am intrigued to know what kind of coaches we can explore at this point. Green might be a good guy, but it's time for a change of scenery for all of the staff, especially our defensive zone 'system' coaches.
  9. Calgary is only a couple of points above us. Tanev's effect is minimal.
  10. I would really like to see Virtanen try another coach besides Green. Maybe he'll be scratched a lot. I dunno. We'll see.
  11. Toffoli doesn't kill penalties, if I recall. Pearson does.
  12. Leave it to the Canucks to let a defenceman who had issues potting goals score a snipe shot...
  13. You do make a good point. There was a game by TB (a few years ago) that had Stamkos coughing up the puck with a terrible giveaway in his own zone. This is a premier player that made a terrible giveaway. Absolutely terrible.
  14. Unfortunately, this fanbase (overall) has never shown that it learns from its own mistakes because it spends a lot of time blaming others. Whether it's blaming irrationally on one GM, or a player (Eriksson), it's always somebody else's fault.
  15. I think if Drouin cleaned up his game too, that would help immensely. I think if Vancouver had Drouin (in Virtanen), fans would still complain about his defensive game. But yeah, hometown boy not thriving in a hometown. Not everyone can play in such a heated market. I think it was Sakic who specifically avoided playing in his hometown.
  16. Gaudette's game (and lack of defensive awareness) has been talked to death. For whatever reason, he is not doing very well to improving that aspect of his game. Whether it is due to poor training or some other reason, we do not know. One thing we do know is that Gaudette was limited to playing 7 minutes in his first game, and scratched for three games. People will say he is being eased in to the lineup, but we'll have to see. Yet Gaudette is kind of like Virtanen in a way. Wildly inconsistent, but you know there's more to their game.
  17. Journalists should be policing themselves to ensure accountability. The false reporting of Hughes being on IV certainly doesn't reflect journalistic integrity.
  18. So by reporting things that aren't true, that makes the media a tabloid, no? And tabloids should not get the same respect that actual journalists should receive, because, you know, journalistic ethics?
  19. I have heard this by journalists like Sekeres, but was there an actual source? No, Sekeres doesn't actually count because people like him have been invalidated/contradicted by other sources (namely Hughes being on IV).
  20. So that explains why Goldobin was let go then, right? How come Reid Boucher has never been given a chance to play in the NHL? I totally get why the offensive thing is such a persuasive argument, but Gaudette was NOT bringing the offense that would've offset his defensive lapses. Maybe he was snakebitten (he definitely was), but if he's not helping the team score, he is not helping the team. Gaudette has to clean up his game in the offseason, or else he'll just be a fringe player.
  21. Sooo how do you explain teams like Calgary and St. Louis dropping off in their standings, despite making huge splashes on the offseason? You could make a similar argument about Montreal because they were barely a 'playoff bound' team a month ago, and they're still not comfortably above the line where either Calgary or Vancouver can't reach them. They could still miss it if they continue to slide.
  22. Loui's cap space is the reason why he's buried. If he cost 2-3 million dollars, we wouldn't be complaining, would we? Not surprised that combover is following anyone who remote agrees with his "neanderthal" brain, like a lost puppy.
  23. I think he means that we should be giving players adequate time (subjective to people) before passing judgement.
