[Report] Canucks name Jim Rutherford as president & interim GM
iceman64 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
well if he keeps JB's core together and fills in the gaps properly then we're golden BUT as long as it doesn't involve a team with no pushback, it's the most painful of all hockey to watch.. cringe worthy.. and embarrassing.. -

well if it just gets us the same ole which it's been for 42 years what's the point? Aqua would take no $&!#es to what anyone does as long as the seats are full during the season, yeah more is a bonus but even if we get a tougher team, it probably will be the same as in no depth or very little (2012) especially, for example, get deep then the rug pulled.. I'm fn tired of that! Other than that, bounced out first round. I'm just tired of that Amigo.. -

I'm not sure but it seems to me Aqua hires those vested in the franchise over the years but if we remain a soft seasonal team with a lot of skill but falls flat in the first round but fills the house all season I doubt he cares all that much.. -

Maybe Stan can give boxing lessons to Petey, Hughes,Boeser etc.. Stan could scrap! I'll give him that! -

However on my bday on the 12th we take on a real team and see how we perform I think will how we will be judged on needs, but it's not rocket science we need help on D and the forwards upgraded as in the plugs, like hunt chaisson then if it's actually with big fast mobile PMD's we might get somewhere but I have my doubts.. I just hope Klim isn't traded.. -

I actually agree with you on that, it's been argued that he has an franchise tie and has done things within it long enough... -

until the softness gets dealt with, IF and when it does, until then it doesn't matter who is at the helm, we're not winning a cup, maybe a great season if we're lucky and a quick bounce out or when we run into a tougher physical team. Years of rebuilding, tearing down, rebuilding, over and over. I WISH this wasn't reality but Vancouver wants a seasonal soft skilled team... all there is to it, only a few of us want more than that. -
It was, he didn't have to bow to public screams and rants. He needed to put another Anson Carter (big tougher and skilled) but that was a mistake he finally realized when it comes playoff times, toughness makes all the difference. Either that or sign a BIG skilled PMD for each line which he tried to do but what was out there was ok at best, we needed a good year with better players to join Bo and co. so he tried to trade more at first and draft for a change and work away slowly from relying on trades so much so we have depth that has to be there for anyone to win a cup.. yeah he made mistakes but at least he got us on the road now but I doubt we will stay the course and direction of really being hard to play against and bring it up a notch by having the players capable of dishing it out more than taking it which went on for way too long and made punching bags out of the sedins.. So now, here we are, back to square one, get the toast and get ready for the "butter" This is what I'm afraid of.. another highly skilled butter soft team with no depth.

If he actually got to finish things.. he finally got it through his head that small speedy soft cream puff teams never make it to the cup, but his problem was that there hasn't been much available to fill in with the core but plugs until better comes along and Kids like Klim with an overdrive like Garland but bigger.. has been our Achilles heel for so long, doubt that JB's gone will that ever happen. Last time it happened was 2012 but we sold the future out to get it.. then it was exposed by lack of depth. Everyone in Vancouver wants that though so.. don't expect a cup anytime soon unless changes and the majority fans want the one cup and sell everything to get it so back that again..
