Honest Conversation With Those Who Still Support Management

Enough with the "delusional" told you so crap. Especially bumping your old threads in order to do so. . -
The current team is awful, but lets talk about something else awful!
-DLC- replied to MtnHockeyGuy's topic in Canucks Talk
I'm saying we should reserve judgment a bit as it's a little too early to tell. Not all finished products yet. And considering where we drafted? Sure. It's hit and miss and teams don't have the luxury of hindsight like we do. It could be better, sure. But, overall, I'm pretty happy with our picks considering they were out of the top 3. Petey and Quinn are both pretty special. Pace yourself a bit and give it time to unfold. Calling it a bust (which is what many here are doing) is a little short sighted. -

So Boeser isn't included in the past 7 years as he was drafted 8 years ago. I hate these sort of posts, sorry. But we've had 5 first round picks in those 7 years and none higher than 5th. I'd say getting Petey at 5th and Quinn at 7th we've done ok. I also don't know why you'd exclude Podz and Hoglander...hardly giving them a chance. It's an issue here...people have no patience. Draft picks never used to just slide right in and go...it often took years to develop them first. I do wish we wouldn't give up picks so easily...that has to stop. But the teams that get top 3 picks will see better results...we just haven't had the luxury of those high picks. I feel like you've been lazy and if you're going to do this, do the work. Show comparisons with other teams in order to see. Teams that pick beyond the top 3. Also...draft order really matters and we may have had 46 picks but if they're in later rounds you really can't expect much. We'll draft better when we secure better picks...that's the focus. Set the bar realistically...Hoglander was picked in the second round...I'd say he's working out just fine considering that. -

If I don't get snowed in, I'll be at the game on Thursday. I'll try harder. -
That was quite a deal, huh? Congratulations to Argentina...and my friend, Dan.

He and JT have had a good thing building...JT's gets a lot of criticism for his cross ice passes (which I don't argue) but when he telegraphs one onto Bo's stick, who's waiting to either tip or blast it in, it works. They've (the team's) worked on tip ins quite a bit recently and it shows. -

Me too. He's high energy but also loved the way he kept the puck on his stick or immediately got it back when battling for it. It looked chaotic but effective at times. He's sturdy too...sometimes those smaller guys with a low base of support can out maneuver others. Garland like. -

I liked the aggressiveness they showed in the neutral zone. Going at them more...not giving them as much space as usual. I found the game quite entertaining.
