  1. compouded by letting Tanev go, even worse for free
  2. The Alumini play at 8 rinks each week, Linden is not one of them in fact he stated one time he's never had his skates on since he retired
  3. Seems over simplistic but the management team all seemed to be sad and depressed people, but it filters down IMO. No one seemingly enjoying them selves, so serious and glum. Last night I sensed a different atmosphere in the arena. Fans were smiling some even laughing ( I wasn't aware that was permitted inside Rogers.) BB seems to bring a lightness to the club, what made me think about this was at the end of the game Shaw was leaving the bench and he was smiling at BB. I swear that's the first time since he arrived here I saw him smile!. Some of the players were laughing on the bench, I swear i saw players laughing. Not much for the analysts but I think it helps, what do they say "Laughter is the best medicane"
  4. I think thhat's true, it always seems like a burst of enthusiasm followd by the players tuning him out. I'll say this he's going to a be a shock to the players system and who knows make them more rounded players
  5. You have to wonder if Shaw will be p!ssed off, He left CBJ because he was overlooked as a head coach and here he goes once again
  6. To be honest I followed Clarke and though given the chnace Vcr would have picked him but he was gone before we had a chnace. I'm surprised too
  7. He hs to be a quitea nice sprise for his team, he's right up at the top of their scoring, tied for 4th. I suppose there will be meetings in Vcr before his term ends. I'd think Lidgren will be waatching him a lot. What we can't see is his speed and physicality. Only his stats
  8. Edler is doing very well in LA, 10 pts ( same as BB ) and I believe he's on a short tem contract
  9. Harmonic has been a huge distraction, why he was not release I have no idea, he's no Bobby Orr and we would have had some Cap space
  10. I recall when Mr Griffith Snr told Harry Neal to fire Roger Nielson, Harry pleaded to keep him, Mr Griffiith said right now we're firing one mman but it could be two ! Hary fired Roger. JB problem is he didn't want to fire TG and now he's paying the price
  11. That's what his history shows, early succes but 2 years from here the players tune him out
  12. Edler has 10 pts which is the same as Boeser and Hogelander and doublr that of OEL. Tanev has a better +/- than any of the Vcr D, Put it all together and ......
  13. One thing that doesn't come up is the fact that the Aqualleni's have incredible value in Orca Bay realty. And it will become better with the new towers in and around Rogers. I don't even know how much time FA gives to the Canucks problems, It's a side show with many tax benefits attached ( why he maximizes the Cap each year ) Orca Bay is an off set for the other holding and businesses they own. We can only hope it can become a major embarassment, or sufficient to make his life a little tougher. Any one that takes over needs the parallel wealth to be able to afford Orca Bay, there is a short list of people who can use these tax benefits, most just sock it away some where in the Caribbean. Isn't life wonderful, this has nothing to do with hcoeky LOL
  14. out of interest why? Burroughs seems to fit the bill for the time being Neither of those two seem to be dominating. Four quarters for a dollar
  15. Sorry if it unsettles you but frankly I can only view the goings on through the lens of reality. I was never a person to shy from the truth, I'd never qualify as a cheerleader, I'm happy to say. I've supported the canucks for 49 years, so I'm not expecting to change my allegiance now. I suspect you best block my posts
  16. Reality tell us that >25% of 2nd rounders and beyond play 100 games in the NHL. Late picks are shots at the moon
  17. Do not ut wwords in my mouth. I simply stated Nonis is no Schmuk and that Burke best before date is past due.
  18. Edler stated so many times he wanted to stay, I don't know how you can say that. JB didn't want him, ditto Tanev, ditto Markstrom. These guys ere the heart of the lockerroom
  19. Yep inclined to agree, success should be one of the parameters for the selection of a new GM/Coach. Problems is they come with alredy formatted ideas of how a club should be run and that's not what FA is looking for
  20. Yeah another injury played 2 games one assist and has a friendly face along side Kole Lind. lot warmer down there
