Yep... they're trash... -
And if we get rid of Myers, who is going to stand up to the heavies, when they start pounding our defenders? They need a mix of both. Green also wanted an ectra puck moving dman and used Rathbone in that position. It was a disaster... d has been a lot better since they started playing dmen who can actually defend. its not just about scoring goals... If Petey could find the trigger again, we'd been in a far better place now.

Do We Lack Toughness? Who would you give up for?
spook007 replied to RolexSub's topic in Canucks Talk
Had to listen to the Florida feed the whole game... a bunch of clowns... Even when they show the replays they are not able to call it correctly... Utter $&!#e to listen to... -

Agree 100%... Even if Gadjovic was never going to play a game as a Canuck, at least the potential was there... What's the point of drafting players with size, only to dump them again? -

Precisely... if they wanna go anywhere, they have to be willing to drop the mitts. They'll get bullied otherwise (Petey, Brock and Quinn)... We need the rest to stand in instantly, when they are being targeted, and preferably being the bullies... I know it won't stop them being targeted, but the fact someone answers the bell for them makes a huge difference... -

Thought they started brightly, but long lay offs are takes the sharpness away... They'll be fine if they keep playing with this sort of intensity... But man o man would it be nice to have someone able to really answer the bell... Its been am issue for a long time now... although Pearson has been ok. -

[GDT] Around the NHL | January (02-08) 2022
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Definitely going to be tough...especially with the long layoff.. Won't jump overboard should that happen... -
I thought going .5 in January would give us a great platform, to get to the play offs... now I'm no longer so sure... All of the games accumulating is going to be tough to get through as well... + ring rustiness... Maybe they'll surprise us all... At this point follow BB's win the week and see what happens next...

Who will be the first player to be traded under the new management?
spook007 replied to Rabbit's topic in Canucks Talk
good call... Motte could potentially fetch something decent... especially if we could get bubble Motte back. He was freaking awesome... -
[Report] Canucks name Jim Rutherford as president & interim GM
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Agree... But we only got 1 season after MG left... Hopefully we are at a stage, where our team gets exciting again. I remember, when Mike Gilles took over, there were a lot of good young players, but don't think the team was any better than we are today... maybe slightly. Our Young stars now are younger, than they were then. So a year or two more, and we can start to compare rosters? -
[Report] Canucks name Jim Rutherford as president & interim GM
spook007 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If you came in as a new GM, there is no doubt which roster you would prefer to inherit between the one MG left and the one JB left. Where as the roster MG left were old and running out of their hockey life, the roster now is new and still mostly a good bit away from its peak... And while I agree it is mostly against supposedly bad teams, the games before BB were mostly close as well, but the play itself was nowhere near as good as it is now... They may suck, once they meet better teams, but you can only play whomever is in from of you... We were also considered a bad team (almost the worst) until the change of coach. Finally, most teams will have limited in their cupboards, when you promote players to the team at a pace, as we have done. 2 or 3 more drafts now, and once Petey, Brock, Quinn and Bo enters their prime, the supporting cast should be ready... Both Hogs and Podz still need maturing. Lets see how it unfolds, but for JR there is plenty of players that can be traded for good / great returns, which there weren't for JB.
