I love Bruce Boudreau as a coach. I also root for Buffalo and wanted him there. He'll be great for Elias, Bo, and Brock. He needs to get up Ekmarn Larsson's ass. He looks so lazy with the puck.
-
Good, he needed to go. No thank you to Gillis, and that douchebag Bergevin.

The right call. If they're going to rebound and recover anything this is a great step in that direction. This should have happened a week ago.

You take Lind from this hot mess, and move on. Leaving Vancouver with their salary cap mess. All I can say, is at least after next season the likes of: Beagle, Roussel, Baertschi, Eriksson and Holtby are off the books. With salary off the books this year of: Sutter. If there are deals to be had for Schmidt and Myers, have at it. Virtanen, can move on. Take things realistically, and move on from long time Canuck Edler, and go in a completely different direction.

Dickinson is definitely a good get, he'll improve the defensive zone play in the bottom six. More than likely Sutter's replacement.

Johnson, McTavish and Hughes would be my best guesses. I think those are the types of targets that are realistic. There are others depending. Fyodor Svechkov would be a great addition after a quality WJC.

Honestly, stripping away the bad contracts. It's not a popular decision, but all of the contracts. In terms of depth, it's RHD. The Canucks do not have the depth of assets to pull off Seth Jones, and not enough cap space to guarantee a long term contract for Jones north of 9M+ that he'll likely ask for.
-
It's a first dip into the management side for the Twins, having them around the team in any capacity is a plus.
-
The only thing that the Canucks truly gained from losing those three specific players is a top 10 overall pick. Losing Tanev, to me on the backend is a severe downgrade. I like Schmidt as a player, and some defensemen have come in and had a tough first year and then turn it around. The Holtby signing was a gamble that I didn't think was going to work and hasn't. It's easy to see that Demko is the starter long term here. Injuries, and the COVID shut down of the team, surely didn't help.

There's zero downgrade in goal. It's a lateral move, FWIW.
Holtby was completely pedestrian last year.
-
He's an upgrade over Tanev, who I love as a heart and soul guy. However, this reminds me of adding Hamhuis back in the day, different players, but it was an impact, that you felt from the top pair down. Good job Benning. We took a slight downgrade in goal, and upgraded in front of Holtby/Demko! Watch out Vegas, we're coming for you!

It sucks to see Chris leave, however at 4 years, that's a little rich on the term. He's going to be missed for sure, but I think Benning sticking to his guns at a 2 year term, was fine. It really stings, but it is what it is. Go get Erik Gustafsson.

Good job Tyler Motte. I remember the Vanek trade when we acquired him, and so many reacted - this is all we got. Well, he earned his sweater today! Great game. The headiness and the nasty play of St Louis came back to bite them in the ass.

Thank you, Bo Horvat. I remember when the Canucks traded Schneider for #9 overall to draft you! Welcome to your first playoffs, and your coming out party! So clutch!

Just turned the game on now. :D

Brandon Sutter since the start of the play in round has looked stellar. I've always appreciated his game, but he's for sure stepped things up.

To me it has way more of a early 90’s vibe. The WCE didn’t do much of anything in the playoffs and no matter how dominant they were in the regular season it never translated into the post season (Naslund was also like 27 before he was a top player and managed nothing at 19-22).... this young core is the ONLY core other then the Linden/Bure/Ronning one that actually won a series at that age. Sure it was five games but so far both teams haven’t been able to shut done our young core ... and only Linden, Bure and Ronning so far have been able to elevate their play in the post season or at least keep on par. JT Miller and Pearson are doing their best Courtnall/Adams impressions too. Ronning was Horvats age and Linden EPs, Bure QHs etc. In 1999 we were still getting over the Messier stink. It stunk so bad. Jovo at least was a young gun with a ton of promise - other then that not much similarities at all.
That's honestly the right call. I love all the comparisons, and Ronning to Horvat is pretty spot on.

Anyone see Lebrun's latest tweet comparing this Canuck team to the 09/10 Hawks team? Inject it into my vienssss
If that means a Stanley Cup run, and hoist. Sure.

I think Jake has gradually improved and is right around what you would pay for Ferland who, not necessarily is fault has been worthless. Mainly due to injuries.
-
I still have to watch the rest of the game, but this team is fun to watch. It's sort of has the 1999 vibe around the West Coast Express. In that there are some definite high end players and a solid group of veterans. I'm excited.

This is the game that Marky, deserved to be bailed out! He's been the MVP this season, but this was what this franchise needed. Bring on whomever!

I saw Tanev play at RIT, where I lived the majority of my life. This is his biggest moment as a Canuck! GO CANUCKS!

[GDT] Return of Edler and the Kings Vs Boudreau lead Canucks, Dec 6th 7pm pst

You know the room has finally loosened up when Lammikko scores his first. This is the best game I've watched in a while, and it still has sloppy moments. Obviously.
