  1. But they didn’t go with younger harder to play against they went with recycled 4th line veterans doweling is 31 hunt? petan? Highmore? none of those have ever been hard to play against. green wanted “ trusted vets” so we threw away prospects. Again.
  2. and 7 years of excuses and failure says times up. Hey how many of those came from our own development. Yup ZERO. And You left demko out who did play on the farm and is a great young goalie. look at all those late round depth players we have too. ….. wow. The farms just teaming with prospects ready to crack the nhl. and really it’s not that difficult to draft well in the top ten. Every year!! just curious if Two weeks ago were you one of hughes ep aren’t that good they can sit out if they want undeserved superstar money. Lol.
  3. I did get checked they called it JBitus. comes from have a incompetence refool ruining the hockey club you spent decades cheering for. the cure is coming maybe before Christmas. Fingers crossed.
  4. I noticed not once did you point out were we could initiate. Because we can’t. We can stand out ground we can use our stick to retaliate he’s a bull he’s a bull Myers can be mean…. the forecheck is ineffective because our forward don’t initiate and the ones that do are 175lbs on defenders that are 6’2 200lbs plus. They call retaliation more than They call the initial infraction. Being Soft isn’t a slight on the players we have they just aren’t those types of guys asking them to be more physical and aggressive won’t have any effect other than getting them hurt. We are a smaller easy to play against team. Even bieska pointed it out. when someone starts running around crushing ep boeser hughes who’s going to step up. Who can we really afford to step up we can’t lose Miller or horvat so that leaves Dickenson or almost retired schenn. we don’t even have the depth to cover one of them going down. we aren’t tough and we don’t have any toughness to our game. what little we did have left with gad and Mac.
  5. Which is more than doweling petan or higmore did. We’ll Unless you count getting knocked down as something. Oj Mac Lind gad never stood a chance here just look at last season instead of playing our guys in what was a right off of a season they brought in veteran plugs vessy Boyd ect. green is set with his love for older failures instead of giving young guys a legit chance. better be a top 3 player and developed else where to get a chance here. boeser hughes ep hoglander never did a day of Canucks farm/development only demko that shows just what failure our entire system is. Podz better not stumble or he’ll be out and another 30+ year old plug will be brought in. green much like Jb has been a failure. They should have moved on from both of them at the end of last season.
  6. Greens lucky he never had a coach like himself when he was 23 he would never have gotten a chance. the interview where he said he can trust veterans says everything about why he fails. Green was the wrong guy to build a young team with he doesn’t like young players and never has. he trusts declining vets over young guys with far more upside. and it shows young guy make 1 mistake benched trusted veteran makes 100 mistakes keeps on playing. Sutter Rousell… Looking forward to shaw replacing him maybe even before November.
  7. He’s over 6’ tall and under 30 green has no use for him.
  8. 34 game how much ice time 5 minutes lol. he stood up for his teammates he hit he fought and was physical sounds like a fourth liner to me instead we have highmore who’s is the exact opposite. Jb signed something like 15 new players this summer does that sound like a gm that’s drafted well, develop well or built anything. should look and compare others that got the same ice time In The very limited 4th line roll and see just how he really was. Doweling 5’10” 31 - 27gp 5 pts a downgrade over Mac. Team tiny is going be crying about the refs when every team just runs over our players and we nobody that can do anything and the injuries pile up same as it’s been for a decade. soft easy to play against has been the team identity Jb/ green have built and that’s all they’ve built besides Ill will from fans and players. (Schmidt was real happy)
  9. Happy for him hope he gets a real chance something he was never going to get under Benning and green who prefer other teams recycled veteran plugs. the veteran plug love that’s been the driving force behind teams terrible record over the past 7 seasons. Nucks are going to get flat abused every game and the injuries will pile up. our group of small forwards and zero physicality will once again be on full display. can’t draft,can’t develop, can’t build. fire Benning Fire green
  10. Fair enough but did we develop him snd he was part of our farm system that seems to be unable to turn out any nhlers. The fact we didn’t draft him makes it worse I though we had atleast one depth nhl player drafted in the last 7 seasons. Great at drafting not so much apparently and even worse at development. . Thanks for help prove it.
  11. If only we had prospects and could trade from a position of strength and depth….
  12. Bad coaches and mangers make there team worse all the time.just because they don’t mean to doesn’t mean they don’t. Look no further than Jb and green.
  13. No ledge just pointing out how far we’ve come. Lol.
  14. sweet another Veteran plug welcome Sam Gagne 2021 The rebuilds really moving along. cupboard so bare we can’t even pull 4th liners from own system.
  15. No surprise on Mac. he isn’t a veteran plug that couldn’t crack other nhl teams at 29-31 years old he plays physical, stands up for himself and his team mates and he was one of our own drafted and developed players so basically all things green hates.
  16. F. on the ice the team looked down right bad off the ice we also looked bad. If we did fantastic in the preseason those that love excuses would happily grade the team but we didn’t do it’s excuse time.
  17. Nucks going to surprise them so only 6-2 oilers. Game winner - Hyman. First Nuck goal - EP id like to predict also that a some point mike smith will take a dive act dead then Get up totally fine and have a spaz,
  18. Yeah that’s spells it out. shaw is greens “ interim” replacement if/when sht goes sideways the twins are JBs
  19. Lol I’d be ok with that. I just hope I’m still alive when that parade happens.
  20. Happens all the time. It’s the human. See himself plays a style that coach like regardless if it fits has “experience.” good players have been blackballed by entire leagues. countless reasons why it happens could be a mandate from above. I more surprised that you seem to truly believe that it doesn’t happen. If your telling me chiasson petan doweling are better options than what we have in the farm then your saying Jbs drafting is terrible. willie played the crap out of megna and chaput why when they weren’t the best options. torts played lack over Louie in the outdoor classic he said he thought it gave them the best chance to win.. I know I see a pile of excuses now. But excuses are only needed to cover failure. Hence when Jim needs so many. In a sun shine lollipop world I guess maybe doesn’t.
  21. No way JB still has a job if we start 3-11-3 his team ,his players, his coach a few of his picks. his fault. fans won’t be patient or kind this season excuses are all used up. Failure is not a option for Jb or green. and really it shouldnt be. once again” run out of time” Not many gms last 7 seasons of being terrible at pretty much everything.
