  1. Not for the kid, he asked for Burrows to show up to his birthday party. So much disappointment.
  2. That's awesome news. Hopefully somebody will be able to afford to rent an apartment in Vancouver with that money. That's awesome.
  3. Which Stamkos? Prime or modern? I can agree with modern Stamkos for sure. Edit: also to clarify when I refer to Boeser I refer to him when he was drafted if that helps. Back when he was a much better player and used his hands a lot more and his release was far quicker than it is now.
  4. In my opinion a Laine or a Boeser but somebody else brought up Matthews and I thought that was fair as well, but I just don't see his hands being good enough. The kid has a fantastic shot and that's the weapon he uses best and the most. Admittedly I need to scout him more though.
  5. Not a chance. Putting Wright in the same sentence as McDavid is a bad take. In McDavid's first season he put up equivalent numbers as Wright despite being years younger. Wright is not a generational talent.
  6. Honestly the boys were the better team our pk just sucks and JT Miller is too stubborn to figure out that he can go retrieve his stick on a penalty kill from the bench and that it only takes a few seconds. Bo, Hogz, Garland and OEL had great games, a handful of others had strong games and there weren't many who were poor (Boes and Petey struggled again tonight as expected). Coaching is still the issue obviously, but you can't knock the team tonight. The team played well. The systems just sucked. In about 5 more games we will get a coaching change. We are just ensuring our season is completely off the rails first before you change anything, as you do when you're Canucks ownership.
  7. Fair comparison, I just don't think he shows his hands nearly as much as a Matthews but admittedly I need to scout him more.
  8. I don't think Wright is good enough to tank for. Good player but as far as first overalls go he's a pure sniper. He's like Boeser, but a Boeser isn't a franchise player worth tanking for.
  9. Schmidt was a huge telltale sign because he's your classic energy guy on a top team. Keeping everything light and having a laugh. But he lost that spark within weeks of coming over because it seemed the team was way too focused on being overly professional and always about winning so he was rubbing some people the wrong way. We knew the team was fairly serious already so I was hoping Schmidt would push us into that better team-oriented environment but it backfired completely.
  10. Well everybody was extremely optimistic about Green when I was saying he was a bad coach years ago and now that everybody else says he's a bad coach I have to hit em with that positivity!
  11. Every coach knows that you have to know how to lose in order to know how to win. Green is an expert in knowing how to lose. And that's what makes him elite.
  12. Don't expect Motte to have a good game. Lots of time off. Hopefully he plays half of what he can though! That's still better than most guys on this team!
