  1. A mild silver lining, but let’s face it, the really issue is what is happening towards the top of the draft. Some really good talent there….which, with each win, won’t be making its way into our system. We need to go on a serious run of losses to tank and I just don’t see it happening. I feared for Bruce’s health so I’m ok with letting him go, but the new coach bump could really hurt our long term success. The Canucks are in dire need to some elite talent in our system. Early returns seem to suggest that Raty ain’t that. I’ll be happy to be wrong about that though.
  2. The win against the Islanders really hurt the tank. There really is no tank in progress.
  3. Well, that’s supportive of keeping the C away from Miller as well. Your captain can’t be a “2nd half of a season guy” only. The guy isn’t just a consistent enough of a performer to be the example a captain should be. Say what you want about Bo - and god knows people do - the guy was the epitome of consistency.
  4. Hughes never been great at penalty shots so….I guess we will see how it goes.
  5. The writing on the wall is pretty clear that the Canucks will, once again, win just enough to not even pick in the top ten again. Tocchet has these guys playing better, no doubt about it. The goal tending is probably the main thing preventing us winning even more. And JT is clearly playing better under Tocchet than under Bruce. Incidentally, that is more evidence he is not captain material, if his effort level is this variable from coach to coach. More and more its becoming clear to me that the C is EP’s if he accepts it.
  6. I’d rather we find and develop talent on defense throught the draft.
  7. Can you imagine if we had a player like Seider? THAT is the kind of stud on the right side that we are sorely in need of.
  8. Shipping Horvat out will go down as one of the more memorable Canuck blunders.
  9. Oh, this is far more likely to happen than having even a remote sniff of landing Bedard. Demko coming back soon will be the final nail in the coffin for our lottery chances. Our current crappy AHL-caliber goalie tandem was a last, and only hope.
  10. Trade winds starting to whisper JT Miller’s name. Please god, make it so.
  11. The trouble for team tank I see is that the Canucks are showing faint signs of locking it down a little bit better defensively. If Demko gets back and plays at about 80% of his former self we are going to win too many games to slip below the dreck of teams still beneath us. If you are one of those actively rooting for losses our best hope is to keep the Martin/Delia rotation going as long as possible. I wonder if any sicko out there, with fervid dreams of Bedard in Canuck colours, would consider the “Nancy Kerrigan” treatment for Demmer.
  12. Faceoff ability of this team going off a cliff without Bo. Led directly to that goal.
  13. So, just checking in. How we enjoying the post Bo Horvat era so far? The new Beau….not diggin’ what I’ve seen so far.
  14. Yeah, don’t count on that. Seeing lots of “just do what Bo did to improve his skating” like its some automatic thing accomplished by a skating coach. Bo is an inherently powerfully built man that just needed to direct that natural strength into technique. If Raty has genetically limited power potential he is simply not going to make huge strides with his skating.
  15. Reading between the lines, pretty clear what his stance on JT is, lol.
  16. He of the “trying to make DAWG a thing”, lol.
  17. Seriously, what is wrong with you.
  18. I wonder how strong mentally this kid Raty is. If he’s a flop he’s gonna get put through the grinder in this market.
  19. What a joke of a trade. If Raty doesn’t hit, what a disaster. And with the way the first Allvin draft pick went not too hopeful in regards what they do with the 1st rounder. This management team is one of my least favourite ever after barely being here a year.
