  1. I know the general consensus not talked about is people being angry they can't say anything anymore without being labeled something. The same people at the watercooler saying they ate frustrated with this crap are afraid to not agree . It's brutal. Sure , misogyny. Lol. My God.
  2. For f sakes. Misogyny? All this liberal cancel culture is accomplishing is lowering the bar for actual offenses. Everyone sees how ridiculous it's getting , and long term , going to this extreme just de sensitizes everyone. It's a joke .
  3. When you can literally read most fans and analysts predict the outcome of a game like this hours before it starts , it tells us we are a " team like that". 8 years , and we are nowhere near a good team , regardless of the individual talent . A complete " rebuild " fail. I've personally seen enough to know , even if they go on a run, they will NEVER be a team like Vegas , Tampa, or Boston with this roster. This team may have short spurts of success, but they have the mental makeup of losers collectively. It's pathetic. Every since the departure of the last remaining 2011 players, and some of the RFA's along the way, I have zero connection to these guys. Most seem arrogant, and unlikable. Ontop of that, habitual losers . Canucks PR have not connected any of them in a meaningful way to the fans . Add to that, a very unlikable owner with the recent province articles about his personal life and you get..........
  4. He's not the runaway 1st overall pick. He's not on the same level as the top tear #1 picks either.
  5. Well......at least Horvat gives people something to cheer for. And of coarse, he's playing his way off the team.
  6. They missed the entry level contract window with a young talented core . They are all going to get paid soon, and our cap management had not been good.
  7. No, he wasn't talking about Covid, or the changing rules. He was talking about the trade deadline, and his plans for it.
  8. Really ? They didn't? ^^^^ 11 months ago. They've been this bad for the better part of a decade in the same fashion, so how would this be a surprise to management? This shouldn't be shocking . If it is , they are just as clueless as trader Jim. Gee, it's almost like I've herd this all before , "Like, umm , so, like over and over", as a wise man I once knew might say. " I still believe in this group of players , yet I brought in 11 new ones ". Makes sense. It's almost like they ran things " day to day", not long term. Can't remember where I herd that before , but pretty sure a wise man I once knew was quoted saying that too. More accurate would be : "Sooooo, like, I sort of think a few of these players are, like, really good and stuff, maybe, but ....ummmm, I like think we may have totally f'd up there mental development ." "So, i'm like totally not sure of anything right now other than I wish this bottle of water was pure moonshine. I still believe in this group and stuff though". This start isn't shocking. What would be shocking would be if they managed to not be 27th in the league for once. When you f up a teams cohesive development and chemistry, it's almost impossible to fix it, especially with young players. Aside Pettersson and Hughes, it's likely a total teardown from what we've seen so far. Shout out to the Buffalo Sabres. We are right there with you guys. You can thank the off season after the bubble run for this. The complete incompetence to even respectfully contact the UFA'S that held this team together mentally was by far and away the turning point. " listen up young guys , if you dedicate yourself to this team for most of your hockey career, we will likely not even bother to call you when we decide to move on". I wonder why nobody cares on this team for f sakes. You can't trade or sign your way out of that.
  9. Geez, I've been on this message board for 15 years , nevermind how long I've been a fan. Happy for you that it's only been a decade.
  10. It's not even necessarily that he just lost them , it's how he lost them that really proved his incompetence with the responsibility he was given. I mean, congratulations. You pissed off three beloved players in the room that actually commented they were not even given a phone call for f sakes. Went from the " envied bubble team culture " , to " nobody gives a crap" in one off season. Well, at least OEL has one fan ! You tell him Jim! j
  11. Meh, well worth it right! History has proven those signing don't matter long term ( insert sarcasm). Guess we gotta stick with what works lol
  12. Yep. Nice guys do finish last hey Jim? Year after year, after year, after year.........
  13. Maybe he should have shared them with Jim Benning when he forgot to call Chris Tanev, Tyler Tofolli, and Troy Stecher in free agency. Sure has been an amazing atmosphere since. Really seemed to do wonders for team moral. But at least in the end , we got our super star OEL to show for it ! Right!.........right?...........anybody? I mean , not that year, but at least we got OEL in the end. Thank God. That could have been a disaster All it cost was the combined cap hits for Chris Tanev and Tyler Tofolli together, and maybe a pissed off and morally deflated hockey team, but well worth it "Oooops . Sorry boys , I was so tired from ignoring everyone's advice about not chasing Oliver Ekman Larsson that I slept right through August.
  14. Our defense has been a joke ever since Ben Hutton and Derrick Pouliot were on the caucks future top 4 radar
  15. Coaching. Yeah, not the problem, but this is why they get fired . Every heard of rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic?
  16. -Horvat is second in the league in goals scored behind McDavid ( horvat 12 goals in 13 games , McDavid 14 goals in 14 games. Horvat 4th in the league for powerplay goals Horvat 1st in the league for shorthanded goals. Horvat 8th in the league for faceoff win percentage. Quinn Hughes 8th in the league for time in ice Two players in the top 15 in assists ( Hughes and Pettersson tied at #14th in the league). Two players top 15 in points ( Pettersson #10th , Horvat #15. Definitely some positives
  17. Geez. Horvat again? Guy is definitely upping his price tag. Good for him. Imagine that, the one guy that is poised to get out of here is scoring the most. Coincidence?
  18. Pretty sure the "Bruce there it is " gimmick is old news at this point. Waaaay beyond this being a coaching issue IMO. We can take out the stop watches , and compare the numbers with the last 2 we complained about , but it's way bigger than that unfortunately.
