No that's already been done! by some miracle this team makes the playoffs that will be evident and so the story will continue, stay tuned on the "soft as butter channel" 99 % of Fans love it! Brought to you by the last 40 years (with the odd flip to something more... entertaining x 2... We now return to regular programming, forever! Gotta have that soft great showy reg season team! p.s. be careful what you wish on others, karma can be a supreme biotch! OR your best friend...

oh great.. few more days until the hockey withdrawals are over and now this, grrrr!

Actually I was talking about the players, not the coaching and almost everyone at the time, fans and media alike were behind hiring TG as he had experience with young players but I disagreed as per lack of NHL experience
-
I disagree JB did some good things here after gaining enough experience but failed to be able to get better players for the holes not taken by roster core players, there wasn't much available when he signed LE who was the last big name around after the feast of the big teams, and still not much available when he signed Rous/schaller and for some added grit and Beags for leadership. Plus people forget that not everyone wants to come to Vancouver with a lot of idiot fans but point is you can only do as much as you have the ability to do with what's around. JB's biggest mistake was Green but the reason for that was he had worked with younger players a lot and we had our share to be sure BUT with his experience or lack thereof I mean, at the NHL level, that was bound to fail eventually but too bad BB wasn't available like recently.

I'm sure that other franchises realize what a horrible team this was after the Boston run and exactly how stupid a lot of Vancouver fans actually are thinking we had anything but one of the worst teams going especially following 2012 onward with long term contracts and no depth...

yeah well a lot of people aren't that smart so that was the right thing to do to point that out.. lots still won't get it though.

Thatcher Demko named third star of the month
iceman64 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
true BUT the reads on when to cover the point and when to cheat in a little to help out the D is terrible, and even go as far as to say some players eyes are just following the player and not looking around to catch the opposing D getting into position for a point shot that has lots of time not only to shoot but opposing forwards collapsing in front to screen.. if we do that against the top teams we're going to lose games. I hope BB sees it on the reel and gets guys to work on it with shaw because we won't get away with it playing the best teams. We can play with the good/very good teams with Demko playing so well but positioning still needs improvement. Plus taking the man, we don't hit a lot, less risk of injury like that BUT if that changes and other teams get nervous and make hasty bad plays that will help but at least we're not losing to teams we should be beating (Seattle) for instance. We can only hope right? I cant help but think what this team could do with a couple of players with speed, skill, and size to help that along would do nicely. one F and one D.. C'mon JR make it happen! -
Thatcher Demko named third star of the month
iceman64 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Demko is our boy, just happy he made it to the roster and at his cap? STEAL!!! so a total bonus playing lights out and helping us win games we might not have won had it been someone "average" But as great as it is to him saving games, we need to get team D upped a few notches and cover the points better, opposing D men have been way too open and leaves time for their players to collapse in front of Demko and even he can't stop what he can't see. This has got to stop, happening way too much! -

iceman64 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
well first.. Markstrom and Tanev? omg this again? We can't afford 2 number 1 goalies and Tanev? what? Keep him and when he gets injured with no other top 4 D to step in, we lose a stretch of games until he gets back, it's happened enough times before so why keep going with the risk, exactly the same with Eddie, and let's even go for Stech here, way over rated and at best a middling D and next to zero offensive upside.. There was a reason their gone, yeah Jimbo should have got something other than a cap dump but considering how OEL and Garland have done and how Quinn has worked out, plus Rathbone just needs another season in Abby, deemed Stech out.. People don't realize exactly how badly we needed that lost cap increase and how badly it F'd us, especially in the tail end of a build.. Toffi would still be here and we might have been able to have 2 goalies BUT no dice.. another reason to hate covid.. grrrr! -

Oddly enough, I don't think we're playing anywhere near our A game yet.. -

lmao!! I was like.. WHAT? did I just hear that right? It was like hearing Garrett saying Podz shoveled it on net when at closer inspection is was a bottom half left side snipe perfectly... omg some of these guys make me shake my head.. flame me if you want but Shorthouse and Garrett? ugh painful.. I think Garrett out does Shorthouse for dumb comments. -

iceman64 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
absolutely nothing, I remember when he turned a trade to come here, honestly I wouldn't have either. So a double nothing out of a second time in spirit? lol but anyway yeah I thought the same thing. We need a hard nosed guy just like him and in a d position too, then this team would be even harder to play against by far -

Hmmm... here's where I piss off a lot of people, thanks JB! good team! so it needs tweaks to the supporting cast of the core but playing well and it's almost done. Not bad... Not bad at all! -
not sure people would go for that but.. if the government helped out with tax cuts and people had a place to donate to keep it going IF it came to that.. depends how badly people want hockey. Hockey can be argued it helps keeps our spirits up during a pretty shi-tey times we live in so maybe but who knows ..

So this is where Petey's jinx started? well Fack! stop that! Ok ok on the serious side, opposing clubs are putting some pretty good defensive players out to face him.. what else are they going to do right? Well hopefully his confidence comes back to his old Alien ways and from figuring out he needs that extra step to get there as this is the best league in the world. Go Petey! You got this!

Thank God for Demko keeping us in every game.. without him? Not sure we'd be 7-0 or even close to that.. -

yeah my truck is looking something like that now parked on the street as I type this and I'm not looking forward to shovelling it out if only the Nux would have buried all their chances last night in the same manner, would have been 5-6 to 1.. maybe more...
