  1. I think if I paid to watch this 5 man box collapse tripe I’d be sitting in silence too but I agree in general Canuck crowds aren’t the best
  2. I agree with the gist of your post. The biggest question mark for me is the D. I see OEL and Hughes as top 4 d men. Other than that each of the other guys can be a disaster one night and look like a champ the next night. When i look at the trajectory of this organization I see this, right now, as "go time", This is the window. Our GM has traded first rounders to bolster the core that is in place because this more-or less- is the hand he is going in with. Our captain is in his prime right now. Is anyone convinced they can make a serious run with that D? He has had 8 years to build it, who is in the pipeline that can make a difference? Imagine if Hughes did not fall into their laps. I know they are .500 right now but with what the org has expended during the past 3 years they shouldnt be relying on goaltending this much and they should be able to beat teams like Detroit. Its not too much to expect. Coaching is another issue. Defensively the team is too passive, they collapse too easily in the D zone and give the other team too much time and space, they dont pressure enough on the PK, the PP is a predictable exercise for the other team.
  3. Sometimes I agree with this guy, this is one of those times. I thought the offence would be good enough this year to bail out any deficiencies in the D. We added garland and Hogz is a little more experienced Granted EP and 6 are off to a slow start but I think coaching is part of the Problem
  4. In My opinion, outside of 2or 3 seasons, the crowd here hasn’t been the same since they played at the old pacific coliseum lol
  5. I think Rathbone can turn into a decent d man with some prime time in the AHL. Season the kid properly. He is in over his head here I think. How many players has this org seasoned in the ahl for a while and turned them into a contributing player at the nhl level that helps the Canucks?
  6. Time for Benning to go. 8 years. This is on his watch. Coaching, defence, everything
  7. We can pick apart the players, the coaches in my mind this is all on Bennings watch 8 years. This is what he has assembled from behind the bench out. How many more years does he get?
  8. Legit Heavyweight that can probably challenge anyone in the league.
  9. In the grand scheme of things their record so far is respectable and sets them up for a nice home stand. 6 road games to start the year, many new faces on the roster, top players missing training camp, and they had to go into buildings where teams were playing home openers in front of fans for the first time in months. And......to finish the long road trip they had to go into Seattle's first ever game at home - the atmosphere was electric and hostile for a visiting team. Do you think the NHL is devious enough to have setup that Seattle game? Did they look at the schedule and think "lets feed them the most tired team at the end of a 6 game road trip". I know...i know..tin foil hat....but why couldnt they give them the Oilers with McDavid ....
  10. We won but I feel angry for some reason. Their D is turning me into an angry elf
  11. Aside from the garbage collapse d they play.. what the f is Myers thinking sometimes, just panic clears and turnovers
  12. You guys are picking on the wrong guy. This is all on Bennings watch. The Coaching selection, going on 8 years with a questionable D at best. Here we are and an expansion team is looking like they are further ahead,
  13. Ok I’m trying to have a positive take tough building to go into and they carried the play for the most part … end of six game road trip Two more periods. And a merry f u to hrudey
  14. I’m in cactus club right now, I’ll think of you when the food comes
  15. Hirsch was getting better till that awkward escapade
  16. I saw him at the liquor Store once. He had a bottle of baby duck in his hands. He’s about 6’5” …
  17. That’s why you keep Burroughs in the lineup green
  18. How is it possible all our top guys look terrible
  19. I haven’t been this scared of our pk in years
