  1. He didn't name names, but said the team was "disconnected". Hope I found the right clip below: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/holtby-says-disconnected-canucks-must-hold-accountable/
  2. Won't be CDC pgt without "FIRE GREEN!" posts, whether we lost or not.
  3. The best game they played since the game against WPG. Win or lose, this is how I want my team to play every night. Anything is possible when you move your feet and play as a 5-man unit. Happy for Holtby too. He called out his team in TOR and we've played much better since.
  4. And how has the "adding on defence" priority worked out so far? Toffoli had expressed his desire to stay with us several times before FA signing period began. Benning put him on the back burner and stopped communicating, while trying to get OEL and negotiating with Markstrom. Then for the worst, Benning chose to resign Virtanen with a backloaded 2-year deal. Well now Virtanen is a 7-8 minute 4th liner, or a healthy scratch. There was a possibility to be able to offer Toffoli a similar deal to what he got from MTL, by letting Jake walk and being a little more creative with cap room management. At the very least, the management could have extended the window simply by keeping a communication channel open with Toffoli's camp. They didn't bother, just like they didn't bother talking to Tanev and Stecher. Benning didn't run out of time. He let the time run out himself.
  5. Free falling from the powerhouse Vegas team to an only-better-than-Ottawa-Senators Vancouver team is a rude awakening. Besides, our perhaps-worse-than-beer-league defensive/breakout structure will make Shea Webber looks like Eric Gudbranson.
  6. I'm starting to think it may not happen this season. The way EP handling the puck like a grenade and falling down on first contact doesn't give me much hope.
  7. Even Greener had quoted the definition of insanity in one of the postgame interviews before. Is Newell Brown that thick?
  8. I just keep my fingers crossed Hogs doesn't get tamed like his teammates.
  9. Ideally yes. But we have to clear the dead weights in the current bottom 6 first, and then somehow find a couple more top 6 forwards. Plus that's after we sign EP and QH to their 2nd contracts which will take most of whatever little cap room we have. I'd eat my socks if this inept management can pull them off.
  10. 1 top 6 winger. We already have Hoglander and Podkolzin could be the next.
  11. MacEwen's and Virt's mom can settle the matter in the Costco parking lot.
  12. All they needed to do was waiting for our generous donations of the puck.
