Tanev? That would have been a mistake, a younger version of Tanev? You bet! However at his age and injury history, I'd have been pissed off if Benning had re-upped him. Both Tanev and Edler were simply aged out and so did their bodies with probably the worst injury record between the 2 of them is something I hope I never see again with our team. Anyway, Merry Xmas Mr Alien...

I'm apt to think if we ever get our whole team playing team D, unlike how we're playing now, then and only then will we have a legit shot. I don't know who is responsible for our D systems at the moment but it's not working. If we ever start to simplify our game instead of complicate it more especially with all the new guys, then we have a shot!

What movie title sums up this canucks season?
iceman64 replied to OldFaithfulCap's topic in Canucks Talk
I'd actually say that the same thing applies to the majority of Canuck fans, Jekyll and Hyde mixed with a lot of stupidity and lack of reality.. is this new though? Nope... I can only imagine if Frank sold the team and it moved Stateside, that would be funny! All the cry baby lil whiney bitches would have nothing to complain about.. -
Listening is never a bad thing, believing it blindly is another and I'd argue that the so called analyst's are wrong more often than their right and I've seen better written analysis written by some folks here who don't do it for a living.. even the online wannabee's don't take much to beat. If you ever want a good laugh, read the CanucksArmy daily stream of bullshi_ and draw your own conclusions of the reality of it, I can almost bet you'd come up with something a lot closer to the truth then those schmucks...

You mentioned the definition of insanity... Same thing tried over and over that fails but somehow expect a different result, that's the hardest thing about being a fan is watching year after year since day one. And the media? Omfg! Their right at FA's side in stupidity! And what's worse is fans actually believe their bullshi_ , that's f'n funny as hell, like the blind leading the stupid, demanding a one and done, sell the farm for once cup? Lmao, like that ever worked...

Well, hate to burst your bubble but we've never had great teams, very good teams yes but not great! Great teams have great depth too and we've NEVER had that, EVER!! We traded away depth to get a roster that could come close but without said depth, that goes nowhere. Hence we don't have a single cup and we never will if it continues and it will, until fans grow a brain for a change and demand we actually BUILD a team, dreams of a cup will always be just that.. dreams Wish it weren't so but it is

Omfg! Who the F is responsible for forwards being new the inside of the face off circle instead of covering the point??? It's killing us, nevermind taking too long to make a easy play then it gets picked off for a scoring chances, even Hughes does it.. not as often but still. No wonder we're sucking! On top of that penalties from being out of position! This is f'n painful!

I grew up here before heading to Vancouver so I'm used to driving in blizzards even only because there's only 1 safe way to do it.. drive slower.. and I have a ranger 4x4 with winter tires BUT even with that I'm extra cautious, I'm just glad it's not the 97c, that highway is nasty! If I don't make it, well if and when the Canucks win a cup, raise one full of beer for me!

On another note of boredom, waiting to see what the roads and temps are going to be like before leaving on a trip your stoked to go on! This is brutal, I'm in PG heading down through the Fraser canyon and it's not looking good for at least another week.. It's killing me lol and snow in Vancouver and -5 to -10 ish? Like wtf??? It's supposed to be rainy and plus temps, yeah I know it's December BUT sigh... I can't wait to get home, yeah it's expensive to live in Van but since I've been in PG, it's shown me it's worth it! Anyway.. as busy as I'am getting ready and packed to leave this is F'G boringgggg!

It's better but not by much, but it's the system that needs to go. Thing is, there's too much hesitation trying for find a better pass up the middle and try it but opposing players pick it up, when the solution is soooo simple just to make the first easy pass and don't wait ala Green with the take a longgggg look, stretch pass attempts with forwards not getting themselves free from their checks instead of getting closer to the D for a easy pass option. And I don't know who came up with the idea of wingers hanging around the d-zone circle and leaving the point open came from, yes that's supporting the D more but that's the centers job. I don't know why this hasn't been addressed a long time before now but whatever, we need to change it before we can hope to get anywhere. Side note! Great to see TD back in the lineup, he's one of our best guys making the best short fast passes to open guys and him back will show a nice difference!

The solution is, and I have no idea why coaching can't see it but I'm pretty sure (99%) that this is still a Travis G hangover still.. That was D trying too many stretch pass attempts which can work IF it's done fast enough, if it's not then it gives opportunity for the other forwards to close and cause turnovers, until we get a faster team so stretch passes work we need to keep players back and play tic tac toe out of the zone. Until that happens it's really putting on pressure on Demko and Martin to be super human and stand on their heads to keep us in games is hardly sustainable. Plus forwards covering the point properly, keep your eye on it next game and see if you notice it, Boeser is the worst at it.. that's why his D game suffers but a lot of the whole problem is positioning but that takes more playing time for the new guys. Anyway until that system that's killing us because it doesn't work is changed... Well you know..

He's not wrong, by how much? No idea but a lot of people read a lot of b.s. and swallow it, hook, line and stinker.. Which actually be quite funny at times, watching peeps come in here and quote some b.s. they read off CanucksArmy, the Athletic, The Province etc and believe it like it's true.. I guess they have no idea how stupid they look without fact checking first.

That's pretty much it, nothing has changed over the years. A regular season team pays the bills BUT yeah that gets, is still getting old... Nice to see not all people think that selling the farm for a depthless roster is going to get us anywhere... It never has.. Stupid thing is, we keep begging for it!! And then we get mad when we get it, unbelievable. . Idk what to say anymore really except the dictionaries definition of insanity is "trying something the same over and over and over and expecting a different result...
