  1. Common Canucks !!! Don't embarrass the city again! That's kinda the best we can hope for right?
  2. Maybe you guys caught him on a rare good day. He's an idiot . "On the ball with Rick Ball"? I don't think so Rick.
  3. Well, he's on pace for about 12 goals I believe, so what's not to love ? Maybe we can continue our Nostalgia signings and go for it. It's worked out so well with OEL, why not.
  4. Sales are not " way down" realistically. Sure, they are way down from 2021, but you can't compare 2021 to any other year in real estate history in BC. It shattered allot of all time records for many markets in the province. They have gone back to 2019 numbers .
  5. No. Tampering is influencing a player from another team that's not permitted to negotiate with other teams, that you intend to sign , trade , or aquire him in any way. This would have absolutely nothing to do with tampering .
  6. Forward group is fine so far THIS YEAR. Too bad there is more than 2 lines to a hockey team. We have a decent third line center because he scores , but he isn't an elite third line center becsuse he's doing what what an elite third line center should be doing. We don't have the balance we had when we were successful. The plan is fn failing. They didn't need to re invent the wheel, they just needed new ones. There are other needs other than flashy. That's why we get scored on allot. It isn't rocket science. We already had the blueprints.
  7. " People in the media" ? Which people? Sure haven't heard that myself. Care to give a link and quote, becsuse I doubt you are quoting it accurately? Are you saying people have possibly referred to Jim Rutherford having some past successes? Doesn't mean sht here so far does it? Meanwhile, Canucks Management says hi
  8. Lol. Absolutely nobody saw these posts coming in 2020 ( insert sarcasm). They only talked about it on sports radio as a relatively certainty the ENTIRE time these idiots chased him. No big deal. Just another epic F up to add to the list. He's not even better than Alexander Edler at this point in his career. I'd take Chris Tanev 100 times out of 100 over this has been . Sure hit a home run on ignoring and pissng off the other UFA'S that year ( and locker room) to land him didn't we. Who's next? Should we not even answer Bo Horvat's calls this summer to land Jonathan Toews? Why not keep up with tradition?
  9. Our fan base is still talking about the first overall pick each year like it's a realistic possibility.......and it is. That should be more than freakin embarrassing by now. What a sad , pathetic franchise we are. The last real competitive year the previous core had after losing epically in 2011 was what....like 8 years ago ( 2014) ? Almost a freakin decade ago. And 2011 is our most successful season where we lost embarrassingly in game seven. Thats our most celebrated year of all time? My God. Not one cup in 52 years . Pretty sure this isnt the team to take us there. Gee, I wonder why Canucks fans have a rep of being angry and pessimistic.
  10. You have to have players that have skills to play defense to have a successful " defensive system". They have a f'n defensive system , they just don't have enough of the right type of players that know how to, or are willing to play within in . It's a horribly constructed team.
  11. Lol. No offense to Luke , but the fact he's one of the most sought after assets they have should be100% depressing to any Canucks fan.
  12. If you constantly have to watch the standings every week to see if your team is mathematically in it , your team is not a Stanley cup contender. For the first time in 25 years , I haven't watched a single game live. That's saying allot if you knew me. Lol. Haven't even watched a single game through 3 periods on TV this year, and I used to take the day off work to watch the draft 8 years in a row ! This city deserves better.
  13. The Canucks are nowhere near a Stanley cup. They are barley in consideration to to anything but fluke their way into a playoff round or two for the foreseeable future. The ENTIRE defense aside from Hughes needed to be figured out before working on the forward group. They don't even seem to be making that a priority now. It's hilarious. I don't mean a change or two, I mean 5 of the 6 need to be completely removed and replaced with completely different players, and completely different types of players. It's astonishing this isn't the main topic . After that, there are still major holes up front. We are light-years away from anything other than the mediocrity we've had. I ain't buying sweet f all personally, and can't even get excited to watch a game. Sweet baby Jesus.......a new coach? Seriously?
  14. Sure as F had more success than the successor, and I wasn't even a Gillis fan.
  15. To have a proper rebuild , you would need the proper staff. To have the proper staff, you need an owner picking the GM that isn't an idiot, then actually not continuing to be an idiot while that GM does his job.
  16. They went from Gillis and one of the largest front offices to a skeleton crew. How'd that work out Frannny?
  17. Honestly, the circus went on for so long with Jim Benning, I have no confidence whatsoever they know what to do now. I think everyone was so shocked during that time with so many moves ( and non moves ), people thought there was some crazy magic plan was would be revealed at some point. There was no other explanation. Turns out they were just incompetent. It's wasn't just a short experiment that didn't work. It's went on, and on, and on. Now we see the plan was the " day to day plan". This is what we waited for ? Are they serious?
  18. No, I'd expect them not to give a crap because it's absolutely irrelevant either way to anybody but the actually players imo. Shocking !!!! A Boston bruin told a story about a team they hated for years ? Sweet jeez. It wasn't even an interesting or controversial one. Who fricken cares if he's lying? Like I said , it's an absolute minute, tame , uninteresting story anyways , so ya , not sure why anyone aside from the players that already had rivalries would find this interesting.
