  1. I've always hated the stick in rink......one of the worst logos insports history. Followed closely by Johnny Canuck
  2. fair enough. I loved a lot of the teams from that era
  3. I like the orca, but I wish they would just listen to fans and go back to the skate permanently.
  4. they could have 4 solid lines if he wanted to.........he just needs to set them and then let them gel.
  5. his play and attitude don't factor into it for me as much as it might seem. For me, it was always more about his age and the timeline of this team. He will be on the decline, just as the young core is getting to their peak and needing that cap space. It was a poorly thought out strategy, imo
  6. I think he's tradeable, they just have to accept that they won't get a whole ton for him. As I said before, if Backstrom really is done, Washington might be a good landing spot for him.
  7. and as much as I want him gone, there are many things I like about his game when he decides to turn it on. If he could do that consistently and lose the rest of his bs attitude I wouldn't be as critical of him as I am. I still wouldn't want him here because of his age and price tag, but Id be much less pissed about it
  8. I do think some of those players make their own beds, certainly in the case of NS. Not that he did anything to specifically ruffle feathers, but there was definitley a bt of a holier than thou attitude and that doesn't go over well in this market, imo.
  9. not very often, mid game. Certainly not many who are as lazy as Miller is. Hold teammates accountable, but you better be the hardest worker on the team if you do.
  10. wasn't prepared at all. Y9ou gave a definition that many people give, hence my response. Had you given a different definition, I would have replied differently. I don't see many teams successfully rebuilding that way
  11. it's been a deerin the headlights from the drop of the puck for this season. I think not getting an extension was a big insult to him and he just threw in the towel after that. He clearly doesn't care
  12. it was one of the best docs I've watched in a long long time. I was able to enjoy it as someone who grew up in the heyday of Sesame Street and The Muppets, but also as an educator who loves that they built a curriculum and then built the show around that, rather than build the show first. Education was always their primary focus
  13. I wasn't baiting you, just thateveryone has a different definition. I don't see that as a realistic way to build a hockey team, nor do many, if any, teams do it successfully. JB did start a rebuild, but "rebuilds" take a long time to decelop and the Canucks are at the phase all rebuilding teams get to.......they're stuck and need a couple of bold moves to get them past this spot. Moving Horvat will be catastrophic, imo
  14. man, people whined about Green's blender. BB is out of control
  15. do Horvat and Kuz yell and bang their sticks at other teammates?
  16. That falls on BB, not Yeo........and I hate Yeo
  17. Yey JL is one of the better looking players when he gets out there. It's like they're using him almost exclusively as a defensive player in this tourney. His line matched up against bedard almost shift for shift Again, it's been poor coaching from Sweden all tournament This tourney has made me feel better about both DPetey and JL
  18. And rather than allocating ice time better or balancing the lines better they keep going back to the same well over and over. Sweden's issues are mainly coaching, imo
  19. Sweden's coaching staff is as bad as the Canucks. No success from the 1st pp, yet leave them out there for 85% of the pp time. The second unit has looked better, yet get no time
  20. Again, Miller is great when feels like being great. The problem is that attitude is toxic when you throw tantrums and try to hold teammates accountable when you refuse to be accountable yourself I know I don't want that attitude anywhere near this team, especially the young players
  21. I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly did t give Petey a free pass for his poor start. And Horvats effort is never in question
