  1. What the hell are you talking about, teams have been doing it for a long time. When a GM needs to go, often they do it before a major event so the new GM has an opportunity to make an impression right away. The owner can do whatever the hell he wants its his team, who knows what their motives are?
  2. MG married this core to the Canucks, they took less pay to have a NTC. I think MG wants the players to ask for a trade so he doesn't feel bad for giving them less money and then asking for a trade anyway.
  3. I've been anticipating this game for a while, and now all i want to do is go so some food shopping or something. Man this is boring.
  4. I don't even want to hear his year end speech to the season ticket holders, I would just end up more angry. Guarantee he will blame everything but himself: "We ran into unfortunate injuries, the process is taking a bit longer then we anticipated, the Sedins will find a way, the team will rebound next year, the NHL is a hard place to play, the landscape is always changing, being a GM is hard and making a trade is almost impossible, we still think we are cup contenders..
  5. Don't care what happens the rest of the way, don't even care about the points, just beat the leafs and all is forgiven.
  6. i agree Its a good profit. An exchange of a 2004, 26th overall pic for a 2013, 9th overall pick plus he is 9 years younger at the moment, any way you look at it we still came out on top. Bo could still be flipped for something ever better if MG knows what hes doing.
  7. I wanted so badly for them to ask Gillis "Are you capable of admitting you've ever made a mistake ever?" Its absolutely incredible the amount of arrogance this guy has. It's like he just doesn't give a $hit about the fans any more, to him, we are just a bunch of blow hards who bring the team down and need to be kept in the pitch dark about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Heaven forbid MG tells Canucks fans the truth about anyone for once. So dearly sick of this guys antics.
  8. I have a better feeling about tonight, and if not tonight then TO on Saturday night. There is NO WAY we can go 7 games with zero points, just can't happen...
  9. It would not impress me much at this point, it's his whole mindset that is the problem. Continuously looking for moneyball players has given this team nothing but third liners, its like he is scared to make any sort of trade or risk. He has dulled this team down to where its painful to watch, even worse is most of these players took a pay cut to stay here long term, with all the extra savings, what did he do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Not to mention the players probably get analysed to death through the management's intense stat hoarding. Nothing destroys creativity more then control and intense over-analysis.
  10. Thats what I said lol. A Rebuild takes years, a retool should should be a month. Our retool wasn't a retool though, we just swapped out our bottom six and got a new coach, which is hardly a retool. Usually a retool means swapping out 2-3 main pieces. I agree though, all those players are on the decline BIG time, MG has left them all out to dry without any help at all, and Torts is left to 'sort out' gillis' NTC mess. Its almost maddening.
  11. A rebuild should take years, a proper retool should be seamless with maybe one month down time. Thing is we didn't retool, we just swapped out the bottom six like we do every year and got a new coach.
  12. That spark has been used and abused for a very long time. Its not coming back because we have no new influx of players to change up the dynamic. Even Chicago got Versteeg back, (an actual 2nd liner!!) It took them very little time. Us? We've been waiting 4 years for 'the process' to kick in. Instead we should be stacking our team, inflating the trade value of lower players, then trading them. Its far too late for that though. This team doesnt even have ONE line anymore. Its a clusterF.
  13. You know what the really sad part is? We are still the highest Canadian team...
  14. also they have probably been analysed to death by opposing teams
  15. no real second line threat to take the pressure off. as per the usual.
  16. Damn Lain is looking good.... Very good.
  17. IS Stanton playing? Anyone? Stanton, STanton..? STANTON
