[PGT] Vegas Golden Knights at Vancouver Canucks | Apr. 03, 2022
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I totally expect the that too amigo, or more like I won't be the slightest surprised, if that happens... As for Bruce... Who knows for sure. He probably won't get another gig, or Allvin may already have another lined up... I will somehow be sad to see Bruce go, as I find him charismatic and enjoy his pressers. He also woke the team up, but not enough. Without doubt OEL or Myers are on the wish list for being moved, to free up cap, and I think they will find it easier to move Myers... They will then need to find some hard hitting, crease clearing stay at home defenders to play with OEL, Quinn and maybe eventually Rathbone, although I feel Rathbone will end upon trade bait, if not Hughes... Definitely interesting off season coming up. -

I think, he is just shaking the tree to see, what falls down... The superstars need to play like superstars all year round, and while he has only been here for a cup of coffee, the position doesn't lie... Demko has been fantastic this season, but even he has slightly less heroic the last 6-8 games, although without him, we would not have been, where we are. The bar has just been raised. I do agree though, if Crosby is the bar, then he is going to struggle, cause not many GMs get the luxury of having a Crosby level player on their team during their tenure as GM. -

Cheers... This was exactly what I was hoping for / expecting... Allvin comes in with a fresh set of eyes, and isn't attached to the players like us, the fans... What he says, is basically the players now have to prove to him, they are as good as their pay packet suggest, and absolutely nothing wrong with that. I do expect 1-3 of the players will become stars, but whether it will be superstars is anyones guess... The bar has just been raised... -

I don't disagree, that there is bigger problems, but reality is, that without Motte and Highmore in the line up, there is a severe lack of intencity from the start og the game... and it was the same, when Motte was out injured. Whether a more structured approach will chamge it around remains to be seen, and I'm not saying Motte is yhe solition to our problems. But his and Highmores tenacity have not been replaced, and the lethagicness of their play in several of their last games have shown, it is needed... Get some big bodies with speed in, that will hit anything with a heartbeat, and this team may just follow. If it takes a few high earners to achieve that, count me in. Just to sure, the defence needs work too, more size, that is being used, like a Schenn but with more speed, is needed big time... too many flash players on the back end, and too little meat and potatoes players.... -

Wonder if there was anything of interest available for Brock? -

Quite sure 95% of CDC would sign Miller for 3-4 year 9M+..... Problem is, don't see Miller fancying that... -

Yep true... Hence the reason I fear more pain coming up... But we need improvement on both ends of the ice, a bigger Highmore or two would look good. Hope Lockwood can take off, but despite his feistiness, he is still a lightweight. Podz may be one of the 3 but we are in general too light (or at least playing as if we are)... -

Absolutely right, and I totally understand, why they let him go... I think, we get some more pain before it takes off for real, but seeing Petey finding his mojo again and fighting for the puck is at least upon lifting. -

Yes exactly... Motte may not be a world beater, but his tenacity is infectious, and des rub off on the others. Hope Podz continues to improve as he is now... He was really strong on the puck last night, and was driving the net, hits and anything you could ask for. And still only 20 years old... I would settle for a few more like that... just too bring some life into the team. -

A film about a nice young man being brutalised by a bunch brutes, only to end up swimming a mile in sh!te.... Sounds pretty much like the story of our season... -

Both statement are true... As soon as Motte left the team started to fold like a cheap knife, with an alarming lack of intensity throughout, bearing in mind our current situation. But yes this team needs a lot more than Tyler Motte... Could be done with 3 big good skating forwards, to drag the fight to the opposition... -

Team woke up too late, but made a game of it... O.T. not our speciality Podz showed us glimpses of, what he may become...
