  1. if you think Gillis listens to the fans then shake your head

    Malhotra was damaged goods after that year ( yes he is playing good now good for him but the 2011-2012 season made him expendable)

    Torres wanted term and dollars

    Ehhroff the same thing ( he is also a one trick offensive d-man who did squat in the playoffs)

    you should take a look at what torres wanted, MG is a cheap ass who just wants to sign 4+ million dollar plugs

  2. Sedins have absolutely no confidence and refuse to do anything productive to try to regain it. Unfortunate that this game is one Lu should have stolen for us. He was a beast.

    I have been saying forever now that sedins are good in season hockey, as soon as there is playoff physical hockey they can hardly do anything.

  3. When the hell are we gonna start seeing some of that huge slapshot he's supposed to have?

    ya, that is the main reason why MG paid a big 5 mill for him. He thought he would replace salo so easily but salo is laughing at us saying "Suckers cant replace me just like a 4th line plug"

  4. It's early into the season but when it's a 48 game season it's hard to stay patient with what I consider a pretty "sub-par to awful" debut for the Canucks defenseman.

    All I've been hearing throughout the off-season about Jason Garrison is how he's a younger Sami Salo with great defensive abilities and all around game. From what I've seen throughout the season so far is that he is a terrible skater with average speed and very little mobility. Something that's going to expose him in a lot of puck battles and turnovers in neutral zone. This has been very evident in 5 of the last 6 games we've played so far this season.

    He just doesn't have the skating to stay in great position and he tends to lose his man a lot. That's not Sami Salo at all. I think this is something that hurts him in the offensive zone too like the PP when he doesn't have the skating ability to get to open ice and hammer the puck. He seems to take a long time to wind up and get his shot off so it's no surprise that rushing it has made his accuracy abysmal.

    I commend his hard work, because he truly does play like he gives a damn but just because you try hard doesn't mean you'll get the results.

    Anyone else worried about his skating? His stride is horrific and very short and when he is forced to pivot and turn on a dime he consistently gets beat. Him and Edler have been a nightmare in their own end, unable to move the puck up the ice.

    I'm only concerned because our window to win a stanley cup is rapidly closing with this core and we don't exactly have that great of a promising prospect pool in the calibre of Edmonton's talent.

    He gets juggled around with different partners the same way your mom juggles nuts
