  1. He'd better learn D a LOT better or he'll find himself on the bottom half of the league on someone's second line for life with no chances of parole (cup)
  2. It didn't take long for me either, Al? Well not so bad but JR? What a moron, inspiring the team is on the coach, you do not need to be slamming the whole on public media ffs.. he lost me right there. I don't know how someone could be that unprofessional at the drop of a hat then turn around and storm out of a game box like a lil kid with a tantrum.. we already had that in a certain un-named ex coach doing that.. we don't need anymore of it ..
  3. Idk, it's just him taking side with the fans who just want a quick cup and fade into mediocrity again instead of actually building a team for once.. with depth.. not just a roster with no fall back plan of attack
  4. Tomorrow in Vancouver? That's kind of funny, if you can talk the one cup and done crowd into I'd be impressed!!! Good luck with that!
  5. I doubt it, Bruce was quoted as "tough love" for Flow and it could have been others but he picked Boeser..
  6. You two are forgetting we're not the only team with cap issues and other team have to actually WANT our players and the positional needs match but if they don't, no dice. And after MG signed all the long terms locked in, what the F did you think was going to happen? There wasn't a single GM out there who could have fixed us after the B's destroyed us, no GM can circumvent contract law. Then there's the idiot fans screaming for one and done, screw the farm but.. gimme a f'n break... Geez
  7. If the forwards actually cover the points a zillion times better we might, every time I watch a game I shake my head at our wingers trying to help out or D too much and not letting the center do his job and then they end up not covering the point and most of the point shots are easy and they get through. Idk who the F is responsible for that, the coaching or the players but it's got to stop. Like the dump and chase scenario without a fast team.. It's getting painful to watch
  8. Well that's the nature of it no? Unless your name is McDavid or something, picks and prospects are crapshoots at best. The NHL being the fastest, best league in the hockey world, it takes a full skillset to get in but you can't know how someone is going to perform when they get there, pretty sure the best that it gets is a educated guess.
  9. Really?! Try watching this team since absolute day one, first season don lever was captain, heard my first game in the back of a station wagon, there's no way a prospect is old enough to endure this sort of torture.. Second, is enduring the sell the farm for a depthless roster year after year after year after year.. omfg!! Especially since it's never worked, you would think you'd get it at some point, no matter how close we got a few times, in the end we still got _hit.. And unless we farm like crazy for ELC'S to balance out the cap and quality ones, that whole scenario is never going to change.
  10. Oh yeah I forgot Dermott had been practicing with the team in a grey non contact jersey, nice to have a 2nd pairing D back in the lineup. Some might argue he's quietly really good and doesn't make many mistakes but doesn't provide much offense but who the F cares if he helps the team keep the puck out of our net, it's not like we don't have enough scoring up front.
  11. Pearson back? Hopefully not! And as much as I liked to watch Podz, I wish he'd have had development time down there instead, at least he knows what it takes, the way it went. Would be nice to see D&H get some time in with him and help him home his craft even further and build up his confidence.
  12. At the end of the day, the most painful job in the NHL these days is being a Canucks fan...
  13. Yeah building a farm takes time but I was dismayed to see us not going all in on D picks this draft but they'd better start on it or in 2-3 years when we fully in our window and we don't have D depth.. I'll be pissed..
  14. Ok maybe I'm tired as I think I'am but kind of missed your point opposed to what he said, I'm not saying I agree with him on what he said, some truth in it but some, not so much, partially because violence has evolved in our lifetime, today opposed to 100 years ago, Hiroshima to start off with and we've never had the power to wipe out the face of the planet 10x over, however "logic" on his second point has to be applied, there is no way someone should blindly believe things, logic says take a closer look and think for ourselves.. Want proof? How about our Canucks? Lmao! How many times have we sold the farm for a roster and ended up with a good roster but with no depth and expect to win a cup ffs? but hey, the media has been pushing it for years and people keep buying it... So it's ok NOT to drink the cool-aid at least without seeing whose mixing it... because you just know someone is just dying to spike it lmao! ummm.. thing is, for as long as mankind has existed, there's been a struggle for power, position, and privilege. It's been like for thousands of years and I don't expect it to change anytime soon BUT at the end of the day we all die, is it really worth it? I mean the newest best thing? Keeping up to the Jones' ? Taking our value from that?! And judging success by it too? Meh not on my watch, I used to live in north van, lived the life, and felt like I was on a never ending, tiring 7-3 treadmill. Now I'm up north and leading a quiet fun life not chasing the almighty dollar anymore like I used to, I would IF I could buy time back but I'm nor rich, nor poor but happy I do what I can to help other people who need it through no fault of their own and I feel fortunate to be able to do but it's worth it for a smile and it's the little things in life that count a lot more than money and power, neither of those will hold out hands when we pass.. Ok rant lol sorry.... Idk, but either way it's best to live today like it's our last because truly it just might be..
  15. Well I think part of it is that there's usually nothing but bad news everywhere, Media, social media, word of mouth, and this is now, awhile back I completely stopped watching the news is was getting so depressing but now we're on a while new level of being ground down in our minds that we get tired and lack energy to do the things we once did without a seconds hesitation. Sadly I went back to the dark side, I even watch what's going on in the global arena which is downright scary to think about in the middle of everything else like crazy flooding, earth quakes and forest fires ++++++++++++! Finally coming back to the light side now though, I just keep working and keep busy, just do things today, and not worry about tomorrow, try to enjoy another 24 hours above ground and be thankful for it and NOT to forget to look up everyday... What else can you do?! If I'm doing this wrong please enlighten me, I'm not afraid to be wrong lol Onnnnn the lighter side of reality... Go Canucks go!! Lol andddd go Kuz!
  16. Yeah building a farm takes time but I was dismayed to see us not going all in on D picks this draft but they'd better start on it or in 2-3 years when we fully in our window and we don't have D depth.. I'll be pissed..
  17. Well it's not that easy, simply put that's a simplified way of looking at it, especially there was and is, to this day, absolutely no way of knowing how a player will work out or not. It's not the norm but even first overall picks have busted or worked out but not on the level of expectation assumed. Then where the franchise was at the time and since then, especially in the case where we list Luc B, easily a top pairing D just starting to break out and as calm as Tanev with the puck. R.R. too, with the heart of a lion for his team mates is a rare thing to that extent, took on anyone. Un-named player who should have worked out with the twins but took a 6 mil Swan dive, on top of that Luongo and his contract.. on and on, fans demanding a one and done and at the cost of the farm, we traded picks for roster players or attached to deals. Don't get me started man.. that's just the tip of the mountain, and it's pissed me off for so long, yet some are still on about ONE cup.. My question to them is, how do you win a cup without depth after you sold it to get the roster?!
  18. Damn I knew AK-47 was going to be really good but this is rockin the show! So happy for him! Go Kuz!
  19. Bit of a sore spot with me maybe? Lmao! Yeah a bit.. after 42 years of this, it's way past painful!
  20. Last season's level? Of course ! That's the whole team less the new guys, even Bo wasn't playing to last year in the first 10 games. I still have no idea why we would do that great at seasons start to begin with, D was destroyed by injuries and the forwards went back to Greens habits of holding the puck too long and trying for stretch passes.. and the dump and chase, which only works with a speedy team so that was doomed to fail.. So finally we got them back and Bruce did his magic of getting them to believe in themselves again, sure it took time but no way can that happen overnight with 8 new players in and out if the roster. That's ridiculous and then blaming Bruce for it and talk of firing him? Wtf? Are people on drugs?? C'mon how stupid can you be? Yes I know a lot of people get it from our bush league media and idiot John Garrett but at some point they keep being WRONG again and again that should point out to start thinking for yourself ffs! Fire Bruce? Omfg! Yeah get rid of one if the best hockey coaches ever or make him WANT to leave, just perfect! What else could go wrong? unbelievable... Just when you think you have seen it all as a Canucks fan, I'd say it can't get any worse BUT... When your JR and ask for it, shoot ourselves in the foot yet again after all the things that have gone wrong in the last 40+ years, yeah things can get worse... Fire Bruce JR? F OFF!!!! Just f off! We do not need this! Stay the course and BUILD the team and stfu! Please! This b.s. has to change, we want a real team, depth and all, for once in this teams history, just please build it! Is that too much to ask?
  21. You can hardly fault Aqua for that, that's on the stupidity of fans too for demanding the one and done bull_hit which has been around as long as I can remember, no wonder why we don't have a cup, that never works and it never will but to this day, there's still a LOT of people demanding it... As I've said all along, until it stops and ownership and management says stfu to the fans, nothing is going to change. Until we actually have a working and producing farm so we can afford top tier players and have ELC's to balance it out and depth in picks, as you said in that part, we're F'd!!! No team without depth wins a cup, it's too brutal of a battle to get to the final. And the crazy thing is those same one and done fans see that every year, but act like it's ever going to change. That truly is the dictionaries definition of insanity! Anyway those fans who know better although being the minority, as we've seen that tried too many times and know it won't work are still waiting for the team to be built not bought with no depth.
  22. JR would make me happy if he just quit and let AL take over, and we get a assistant for him. Sadly as it stands, we're the 4th smallest team in the league, probably 3rd if Myers gets traded so in the end it doesn't matter how good we play during the season, as usual we will eventually get beaten into submission by bigger tougher teams in the playoffs... P.S. (same ole shite, different season)
  23. Deb? You take it down a notch? Who are YOU trying to kid? Lmao! I read that and probably laughed as hard as your kids did!! P.S. surgery? P.S.S. Get better! Feel better! (I'd say so you can cheer better) but you got that..
