Man that Vegas C depth looks rough on paper...but they have been winning so must be quality coaching?!??? Go Canucks!! Would think we come out guns a blazing after our piss poor effort vs the Mack-less Avalanche AND what Bo Captain said post game...
-
Woo with 1g 1a so far, Lockwood with a G and Di Gusieppe with 2a ( thought he would be the NHL PK guy)
-
Ya, we let go of our best Shutdown D man....that hurt Big Time!!! Toff is a loss but we went out and traded for another top 6 in Garland and paid him more $ and term cuz he is younger... Letting Markstrom go was the best decision for the team, we had Demko and he has shown he is ready and a better G at a younger age than Marky. Marky only would have been kept if our Core was older and our window only had a few years left.

who's responsibility is it to bring in players who can play all aspects of the game...the GM, we have such a poor group of PK players its just sad. Why did we even sign Sutter if he is having long haul Covid Symptoms?? Did he get Covid again?? Correct me if I am wrong but did Sutter not play at the end of last season...AFTER Covid went through the team? The GM gets a F for not having competent players on the team. Coach gets an F for the team coming out flat and being outplayed to start basically every game this year. Canucks CAN do better but won't reach the full potential with this GM or Coach. We can't really waste time either our leading scorer JT Miller and Captain Bo Horvat are UFA's in 2 years. ONLY a BRINKS truck with an overpaying contract in terms of cap hit & Term will keep them here if this is the team and how we play. Someone said all teams have stinkers...true and Tampa is a PRIME example early this year, BUT TB has won back to back Cups. Hell, if the Canucks win 1 Stanley Cup in my life I will be satisfied and when a 7-1 beat down happens I won't be as disappointed as I am now or have been the past 10 years.

Happy B Day Mr. Holdout... time to wake the eff up and start playing like a 7m player... What the heck is wrong with this skilled Alien!?!?

@OP, you are bang on. When the Captain says post game they were embarassed...is that not a KEY role of the CAPTAIN to get his teammates revved up!? Or is it not his role or anyone on the teams to go make a big hit, start a fight...oh ya that is right we are the Vancouver Charmins!! That was a pathetically sad effort, Avs were down their #1C too...yet still netted 7, coach should have pulled Demko after 3rd or 4th goal in my opinion. This team has no backbone, no 1 player willing to go out and crash and bang to wake his team up. It is only 1 game, but man that was hard to watch! Hope we can turn things around, but this core seems to be wanting a change behind the bench and maybe with management too? The GM HAS to get CANNED at the same time as the Coach in my opinion. Said GM has had 8 years, we have piss poor PK right now, top players who seem lost or disinterested and a poor group of coaches. Go Canucks at the end of the day but until we see a big overhaul of Management and Coaches this team will likely continue to Flounder like it has for 8 years...

This is Klimovich....STOP bringing useless crap into the Danila thread, need a mod to clean this up
-
Ain't that the truth! With all the so called know it all coaches/GM's on this forum you'd think we would have some of them going to Abbotsford games and giving this forum decent feedback on our prospects...think 1 poster gave good insight for training camp not sure if they have season tickets though

100% that is what it is, sometimes I forget UFC makes $/hype fights and NOT legit top contender fights. I get why they do it and it clearly works considering how much the UFC is worth nowadays...

[PGT] New York Rangers at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 02, 2021
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
he also has played quite a bit on PP1, a lot more than the 3 you mentioned. Any player can put up points by standing in front of the net on a PP...I did playing as a kid, I was NOT the best skater but I knew how to position myself and put the round puck in the net... Bet ya I could do it for the Canucks if I had a stretch of games where I could park my 230lb ass in front and try to tip pucks and jam at loose pucks. Obviously I am not an NHL caliber hockey player like Chiasson, but it is stupid for us to be using him on PP1... But when you have a poor coaching staff with so much INexperience...this is what you get. I mean we fired an EXPERIENCED PP coach in Newell Brown and hired an AHL coach to be our NHL PP specialist coach...seemed destined to be a disaster, but I can almost guarantee this PP will turn it around and King will look like a good coach once BB6 and EP40 start scoring and shooting instantly like PODZ last night and not stopping the puck or double clutching before taking the shot -
we are down by 1 half way thru the game, but on CDC the &^@#ing sky is falling and we suck donkey balls...chill out people, NO team plays perfect and we are far from a top end team in the league. With the amount of roster turnover, key players missing part of camp and the KEY PK players who have missed all 9 games Motte, Sutter and Hamonic...all 3 of them are key PKers for us, we miss them a ton! Fans need to relax, I am a hard critic of this team or the coach and GM more specifically but I EXPECT this kind of hockey considering what I mentioned above!

Happy Birthday Luke, if your playing tonight at least you won't have to fight Ryan Reaves on your B Day. Glad we have this guy on our team, someone needs to drop the gloves and stand up for Canuck players...him and Burroughs have done it this year
-
No need for the team to rush him, we are deep with RHD. Juulsen needs to play games and regularly and give him lots of minutes if he can handle them, especially penalty killing. Maybe he is a late in the year call up but I would be 100% happy with him playing the full year in Abbotsford, the kid has missed a lot of hockey so what he really needs to do is just play and gain that confidence back
-
Why would Chimaev call out Diaz...guy has lost 3 of his last 4, does he want the $ or go for a title shot? He should fight someone like Magny or maybe someone top 5 then if he dominates he can get a title shot. I like 1 idea I saw about him fighting Gilbert Burns, that would be a strong test for him

[PGT] Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks | Oct. 30, 2021
86Viking replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Incorrect, if that was true Mike Gillis would have traded the Sedins etc, instead they took the canucks to the finals in 2011, Mike didnt draft any of that team. Just like a new GM might have EP and Hughes in their mid to late 20s as our core that is cup contenders maybe. In season I only see a coaching change, but if we miss playoffs can see the GM getting canned too in a clean house move -
Please JB NO more Laff cast offs...

They didn't ice NHL lines during Pre Season...that is what is hurting us to a degree. EP and QH arriving part way through camp didn't help either, especially EP who was off on a long term injury to end last year...he needed to be at camp from the get go. EP will get going, it might take till Christmas...so have some patience CDC, it's still the 1st month of the season... -
Decades later, Government is just trying to Protect Everyone and the smartest thing to fight of this Virus is for Everyone to get the vaccine. IMO our Borders should be closed, I do NOT like the negative Covid test 72hr prior rule...you can be around a lot of different people over that 3 days PRIOR to Entering Canada. International flights in should only be allowed for Canadians coming back home or serious family health issues, but they should need to quarantine for a week minimum before walking around. We should have done a full lockdown like Australia and I think some other countries did. Problem is if the whole world doesn't do it then it eventually restrictions relax to then have things ramp up. Covid is here to stay, so we all need to stay safe and be careful and if we all got vaccinated it would help RELIEVE the pressure on our health care system as a whole

We added Shaw to our coaching staff but kept Baumer...made no sense to me, our D as a whole has been laughable with him. We fire an experienced offensive coach who ran the PP, sorry I can't remember his name right now while typing. But we brought in another inexperienced coach to replace him...a risky move for a team needing to rebound in a big way after the big off season acquisitions and new contracts handed out...This is the failure of the GM AND the Owner for not moving in a different direct, could Green save face if we turn it around...sure of course but its likely to be short lived. Rip the bandaid off completely please and start over with new Management and Coaching...keep Shaw to run the D
