I support the things that deserve support. Good, consistent efforts will always get my support.
It's why I rarely talk negatively of guys like Hoglander or Motte or Garland or OEL. It's not because they're otherworldly players, but they put in the effort to help drive the bus. They all have extended leashes.
I cannot support the coaching staff. It's honestly just such low IQ coaching that I couldn't be bothered. I've been saying it way before this team sucked that the coaching was very poor and that this team was always better than what they have showcased. When it takes you 18 games (nearly a quarter of the season) to make an adjustment to a powerplay that deserves to get crapped on repeatedly. When you constantly see the same mistakes over and over and over again with no desire to change, that deserves booing.
I don't even crap on Petey because you can see he's trying to put the pieces back together. His execution is absolutely horrific but the kid is still trying at least. Meanwhile you have plenty of other guys taking nights off or a captain of the team that never pulls the team into a fight or the top talent not trying to drive the bus when they have shown in previous seasons they easily can, it's mind-boggling and in my opinion doesn't deserve praise.
The Canucks have always had the identity of being the hard-working team and the fans have always rewarded the hard workers, despite their talent level. Tossing that away to make these millionaires feel better about themselves for putting in a lackluster effort doesn't jive with me. Why don't we ever hear on the radio about guys spending extra time at the end of practices to hone in on their games? Is that covid? I've heard it about the rookies on the team, why aren't the vets doing it?
