  1. Black jerseys just look good imo, like our 90s Skate jersey!!!
  2. Of course not, the point is he made a $&!#ty trade then moved Guddy who was not a fit here for something of use
  3. I am gonna assume maintenance day for JT, but let the vultures speculate I guess...He plays a ton, deserves a day of rest coach should overwork the slugs dragging us down today tho!
  4. this needs a poll with a list of coaches, like it or not Babcock would be the most experienced coach who might be able to turn this season around and allow us to compete still. I would try to get Boudreau here as an assistant who specializes on the PP side of things
  5. This! Someone tweet this to the Canucks owner, it is what needs to be done!!!
  6. BadBranson he sold high on to recoup Pearson atleast? Still a fail to acquire BadBranson to begin with but he salvage it with a player who has contributed for us...that said was a mistake to gift Pearson a 3yr deal during an awful contract year, should have walked away from him but JB never learns hence the mess we are in!
  7. I wonder what Nashville will do this year? Are they healthy scratching P. Myers or has he been injured? I thought they might be a team interested in JT Miller and they have some decent assets: Luke Prokop Cody Glass- will they move him already? Maybe he is our #3C of the future, doing well in the AHL but lost his vale since being drafted Trenin- Russian big guy 1st round pick
  8. If the owner is wanting us to try and make the playoffs we do 1 thing, fire the coach and hope for the best. You don't trade your leading scorer if you want to try and make the playoffs...The GM is above all in with the team, traded tons of 1sts, let the coach make boneheaded personnel decisions to during pre season and signed of on the waived players, it is just a mess under the current coach and GM, both need to go. We have 0 pk players, poor ass C depth due to the current GMs decisions...
  9. Isn't Rossi like 5'9? Hard pass on yet another small player for me anyway. BB should be kept, sadly our team has next to no playmakers on the team. Horvat- shoot first kind of player, EP- Shoot first, JT- Shoot first, BB- shoot first, can pass also like any player but known for his shot...whatever happened to that lethal shot is a mystery for BB and EP. We make any big trade it has to be your oldest player with the best return aka JT Miller, not your youngest top 6 RW imo. You want to get an added Troy Stecher sized D back too, what is the point? We need some size or we might as well fold and move the team to Europe
  10. There was a stat about in the past 6 games the combination of Boeser, Horvat and Pettersson only had 1 pt combined...That is effing pathetic, especially from your supposed top guys! The coach needs to go in the worst way, clean house with the coaching staff and bring some experience in but MOST IMPORTANTLY a fresh NEW strategy for the players to buy into. We should NOT be trading any younger players until BOTH the Coach AND GM are fired and if the players underperform then let the NEW people in charge make that decision...not the current people, that would be a huge mistake! Wish we would have brought Brian Burke in as a President of Hockey Ops before Pittsburgh did, some have mentioned Jim Rutherford I have as well but not totally sold on him, I never did find out why he just up and left the Penguins. Brock should get paired up with Hoglander who is an energizer bunny and Horvat. Then you put our Wolverine (Garland) with Pettersson and Podkolzin and let those lines play together for the entire upcoming road trip. See if those combos get some of our top underperforming youngsters out of their slumps...Yes that means JT plays with inferior linemates, but he is the only one producing offensively and has shown he can carry a line regardless of who he plays with. I would serious consider moving JT Miller if a team with a good young RHD is interested in him. He is a great player but doesn't fit in with our team as some would say...but if that was true, why did the current GM trade for a 30yr old D who makes north of 7m for 6 more years? Kind of a mixed message if we dealt JT due to age/contract, think JT is going to want to go play somewhere else when his deal is up anyway so move him this year or at the draft.
  11. weak source i would say to this rumour no...
  12. BB^ is NOT returning you a top 2 D (RHD I assume your alluding too) AND a 2nd round pick. BB is cold as ice now, value is low
  13. You are correct, will that happen under the current GM and Coach...it would seem highly unlikely. If the owner wants to salvage the season moves need to happen now not in January
  14. there is 1 trade Benning can make, his resignation letter for a sleeve on donnie and dhali branded golf balls!
  15. B I N G O!!! but that will cost him Millions and he doesn't like that idea, so instead we waste another year of our roster getting older, closer to FA or wanting out instead!?!? That seems like a stupid choice to me!
  16. I can't quote you as you are on my banned list...but the Pro's are this: Demko is a very good G Hoglander not having a sophmore slump Garland is a keeper Podz is a going to be a awesome Canuck to watch Have tradeable assets that could bring us a haul...but need a new GM willing to make such trades! Cons: Traded PK depth, did ZERO to address it... Overpaid an RFA coming off an injury who clearly is not the same player Same coach Same GM Meddling owner too afraid to hire people with experience for some reason...and he wonders why we are where we are after 8 years under those types of people...CLUELESS! Love my Canucks till the day I die, HATE the way they are run and constructed
  17. If I was a Millionaire and retired I would go to every game! Am I taking my back breaking money from working to go with the state of the team, hell no! Daddy needs a new flat screen TV...but they are so many to choose from and I don't wanna pay $2000 so maybe staying with the ancient 46'' lcd I have?
  18. Does anyone know when the NHL told teams their players were going to NEED to be vaccinated to play? Was after free agency started no?!?? Also, did Sutter not finish last season playing?? Last game played May 1st 2021, played all of April...How do you magically become an unfit to play athlete come training camp with lingering symptoms, OR sign a contract knowing you were unfit?
  19. Yup and we whine about starting on the road with or 7 games, whe NYI had double that...add Covid going through the team and they were destined to have a bad start imo. Play a ton of home games over the next quarter of the season.
  20. Canucks are going to win tonight, have some positivity! Just avoid stupid penalties and we get at least a loser point last game probably
  21. I read it as Horvat will need a new long term contract in 2 years. Are we wanting to pay him 7-8m x8 years like he will ask for? Guy needs to show more emotion as the leader of the team in my opinion. When you lose like we are where is the emotion....starts with el capitaino
  22. Not a chance from me. We need a young RHD back if we trade JT or a top 6 C who is younger move EP to wing where he belongs until he can address his dreadful FO% and try to get stronger during the season physically somehow...Put big focus on that in the off season, you got the big payday now show the commitment next off season EP
  23. Sorry....yes I forgot Hoggy!!! If we had a new GM and they had a sweet offer for JT Miller he can be dealt and Hoggy take the spot, But this is just a trial for a game to get EP and BB going. Hoggy is on fire, hence my mistake is actually a S M R T move...he can produce and spark his own line #3!!!
  24. we could always say....with this name lets give the Y a vowel to help balance the vowel to consinite ratio AND sometimes Y haha
