nuck nit

In the last three years where he made questionable decisions I relentlessly called him out for it and had many posters here forcefully dump on me for doing so. That's hockey. This was an awful year for many reasons,one being the hire of a coach that should not be the face of a pro franchise. I truly feel bad for Gillis today,wish him well and thank him for the good times we had.

He wouldn't,he didn't and that is all recorded history.

\One playoff win in his last three years on the job.

It's been three years of a straight downhill 'process'.Every GM was faced with the same cap,same CBA and same lockout.That is a huge COP OUT. Gillis should immediately put Gilman in his place and hire somebody else with enough player evaluation/selection experience to evaluate talent properly.

When you are a life-long fan of the Canucks you learn to watch all the teams and get to know other players a lot better than, say,if you were a Detroit fan or a Boston fan or a Chicago fan or a ........The hockey earth does not revolve around the Canucks.It's a big world out there.

Yes and agreed.It is a shame Gillis does not have superior player assessment and/or selection management skills so that the team he is paid to manage can succeed. Taking on multiple concussed players and not dealing concussed players is a major flaw in Gillis' management level. He personally said he understands little to nothing about concussions/head injuries and yet he takes on and continues having the team saddled with those contracts. Not replacing the skill set that this team won with in Salo and Ehrhoff is another MAJOR blunder and exposes Gillis' lack of knowledge concerning his own team's success and his d men. Stacking up on RHD and then signing Garrison without addressing that flaw further exposed him and his skill level. $18 million in the tank while Kes and the twins get run down each and every night and your d is no longer able to work properly ,never mind the transition game that made this team a success is long gone.

The crapshoot is beyond pick 10.Some are saying pick 8 this year. It is a high percentage pick that ensures a better team going forward. It's a shame the team could not win three in a row since January. I guess improving the team in a losing season does not matter to some fanatics.

I can just see Dallas,Nashville and Phoenix all wanting to tank their remaining games so the Nucks can get in-again.

#stillonthepayroll#15% Epic Luo.

My fear is Anaheim mails it in tomorrow night.

Luo is doing his part to prolong the never-ending season that needs to be put out of it's misery.

Canucks had the best PP and highest scoring club in 2011 and 2012.Now it is close to the league's worst-in three years,mind you. Canucks management did not retain their best talent and slowly became exposed through a series of inferior player evaluation decisions.

No.David Booth $18 million and still Kes has has to go to work each night with no legitimate linemate. Do not retain your puck moving d men-OR REPLACE their talent-and the best PP in the league disappears. Trade away your top two goalies for prospects and the team's d is weakened. Do not trade for any RHD men and you have created more problems on the rear end. Trade your best prospect for a fourth liner that could not even play in playoffs and you diminish your talent level. Keep making poor player evaluation decisions for three years and you end up in 25th place from the first overall position. You're confused ,bud,because all of this went down before our very eyes-in slow motion technicolor.

Dragonfruits, The Nucks were the best PP,best GAA,highest scoring team in the NHL. It is not a divisional issue,it is player selection. Keep mediocre third liners and let go your best players and voila!

Gillis signs three more third liners and calls them first and second liners and the team keeps descending into the toilet. That is what has gone down and will keep going down until the player selection process improves the team.You don't keep the second best players(Bieksa) and trade for third liners (Kassian and Booth) when the returns should have kept the team highly competitive. The margin of error is tiny and this GM is not equipped to properly evaluate talent.

The problem was player selection and that is all on Gillis.Tootsie just exposed Gillis light years before AV would have because AV is a decent coach.

It is the middle of the afternoon here and there are always 20+ participants at this hour.

You know the season is over when CDC has two anonymous users and 0 visitors and 0 members on site.

Now that Gillis has had a draft(with all respect due to the Gaunce selection) where the.org showed selection respectability the higher the draft pick the better. There is one bright light to this horrid season and this is it.

The fall from 1st to what looks like 25th overall is the position you are left to contend with.Blaming others for merely pointing out the record is your call but you have yet another summer to digest the decline to what is now the reality.

Nope,but we know whose puppet you act like.

Gillis' tenure.Free Tequila nights for 25th overall.

Being 1st in the NHL is a waste of time as there is so much to like moving forward now that we are going to finish 21st-25th.Free tequila would help selling this disaster. GPG-28th PP-27th Team shooting %- 29th GAA-13th 2009-2010: GF272 GA222-2nd place in the entire NHL in GF. 2010-2011: GF262 GA 185 -1st place in the entire NHL in GF. 2011-2012:GF 249 GA 198 - Canucks tied for 4th in the NHL in GF. 2012-2013:GF 127 GA 121 - 48 game schedule -Canucks finish 18th in the NHL in GF. Bottom half .

Two,serious,consecutive concussions.$19 million for a third liner.

No.I envision you and old news living in Mikey's basement,wearing his second hand clothes and mowing his lawns.
