RU SERIOUS

Anyone else notice how many empty seats - especially in the high priced lower bowl. there are. It's mid 1st period on a Saturday night. Very Sad to see!

OMG how did someone get behind OEL to score????????????? Is that even possible?????????????

Wonder which Coyote team will show-up tonight? Its either going to be ................ Coyote Ugly...? . OR Coyote Brilliance....?

I'll Second That !

Well Stated! ........and yes, EP40's game is changing for the better and as far as I'm concerned he and Horvat are the only two forwards that play a two way game on this team and give it their "all". But, as far as the identity crisis goes, that comes back to leadership and despite Bo being a great player, I strongly suspect that he will be traded not just to clear cap room but to change the face and leadership of the franchise. It will certainly be a loss but it might be what is needed to finally try and shed our infamous "Country-Club" image that has saddled this team for the past decade. It's one of the few things that have not changed around here in years. On Fridays Donnie & Dhali show one of their guest stated such a trade for a top center would usually bring back 3 assets. A 1ST ROUNDER + TWO OTHER ASSETS. It will interesting as we round the corner in the next few weeks now that our top Goalie is gone for a couple of months and we approach Trade Deadline. Interestng times ahead!

Very good question. I remember when the Marino change happened, I think it was TSN or Sportsnet questioning whether this was "an above board" happening or if something else was prompting the change. I still wonder to this day what really happened but of course we'll never likely find out. As for that report, I sure hope we don't see a repeat performance here and still have fingers crossed he'll actually be able to "right" the Canucks Ship.

BTW, He actually played more games in his favorite city than here!

I'll bet $5 bucks that Horvat is traded first. I'll be very surprised if he's with the team past Feb.

Plenty of time before trade deadline decisions !

Hold on to your hats because In his seven seasons as GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Rutherford traded away six first-round picks despite him categoricallly stating upon arrival in Vancouver {QUOTE} "I don't want to trade draft picks, unless they're later round picks. It's not the cycle we're in to trade high draft picks". (Of course that 2nd round draft pick they threw away for that Still-Man trade doesn't count) Take a moment to read what he left behind in Pittsburg. https://thehockeywriters.com/penguins-rutherford-poor-decision-making-effects/

4-2 Canucks EP40

I did but thanks for the reminder. (Keep reading further down the post list) Wish him good fortune and nothing but the very best but this news (that is NOT my creation) although very unfortunate and negative in nature, is not "sh1^%ing" on someone - it's called reality - something "Some" Canucks fans hate to face and admit to. I like you, probably wish everything was Rainbows & Lollipops in Canucks Land - but it just isn't! Cheers and don't forget to light an extra candle when you go to church on Sunday for a speedy recovery for the poor kid!

Hopefully he recovers well too (wish him the best) but that's not what so many are concerned about. It's his terrible performance. There was another article from sweden I translated using google that said he shouldn't even be playing in that league because he is so bad. I'm trying to find it again and will post it once I do. That's the more concerning thing. I guess that supports why some of the 14 other teams passed him by in the draft - but leaves egg on our face for PA drafting here in Canucks land! I bet if he wasn't Swedish, PA would have passed him by too and picked one of the other available draftees that made more sense.

Yep. Looks like your concerns have come true. He's now in Concussion Protocol indefinately. Looks like Alvin's home-town 1st Rd. pick is headed into the twilight zone. What a waste when we are so desperate to re-stock the barren cupboards down on the farm. Add this to that ridiculous trade for Stillman - while throwing away an extremely valuable 2nd Round draft pick - and he's quickly losing credibility around here - even as an inexperienced rookie GM. Not just because of the concussion but mainly due to his extremely poor performance all year leaving him looking like a "BUST". QUOTE: "After taking a hit to the head on Saturday, CanucksArmy has learned that Lekkerimäki has entered concussion protocol with his Allsvenskan team Djurgården and will miss games over the foreseeable future,"

That's very likely why Horvat has not been re-signed because he's on the way OUT so new leadership can be instilled on tis team.

Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Watch what you're saying. That's Alvins Boy you're talking about!

Good on you. I Gave up after last season after over 20 years. Had Enough B.S. ! You can buy tickets for under face value for nearly all games now anyways on resale sites. The sooner the fans bail on this mess and empty the building out - the better. Aqua-Lini won't sell the team until he's embarrassed!

Hopefully JR has had enough of this Gong-Show and will do what needs to be done !

I hope that RAT that was thrown on the ice was dead so he wouldn't have to endure what we did all night!

for Boeser or garland?

.....................I was hoping no one would ask before the game finished so we could enjoy this loss without any further stress!

30 shots from the canucks so far. 28 of them from 60 Feet out !
