  1. I think, this is, what we are all slowly moving towards. I have supported JB all the way, and will continue to support him, but if he was replaced, I would not go bananas... Same with Green and his staff for that matter.
  2. Firstly JB can't hold a gun to trams head. If he doesn't wanna come, he doesn't wanna come. Secondly, what kind of deal would you offer Tryamkin... I haven't seen anything suggestion, what he has been offered by the club.
  3. Good question, and that's a far more important question. I also wonder, why the team seemed so far off at the start. I don't believe for a second, it was only because of team mates leaving. This happens in every club every year. And absolutely yes, we don't have good enough depth yet, but it's hopefully coming over the next year or two... I wish we had a few bottom 6 of better quality, but still feel they at least brought some intensity... There is going to be more bottom players coming through, Lockwood is looking good, excited to see Gadj and Lind taking their first strides. Together with our Russian Bulldog, I see far more optimistic on the future than a lot of folks. Totally agree though a 3C will be important as will a top 4 D, not named Tryamkin.
  4. Yes find this constant hacking on Green odd... almost an obsession. We'll see, what the future holds for Green, but he wasn't picked for no reason... To hear him being belittled constant is just tiresome... Of course he has made mistakes, but they all do... Hopefully they learn from them and improve.
  5. Now this a proper assessment 2288... Green didn't set the schedule, and they could have taken it up with the league. I actually think this goes far deeper than this... MG, was constant on to the league, complaining just about everything. And rightly or wrongly I think the league have had enough and by their actions shown, they don't care... I also wonder if Canucks have been on a short leach since the Bertuzzi incident, but not sure... The lack of proper push back is almost legendary now, but that's for another day. Regarding taxi squad... I don't think we have good enough depth yet to rotate this easily. The younger players need time to mature, and I won't blame anyone for not just throwing youngster into the fire in this crazy season... I'll agree that next season I expect more youth, but it is happening slowly but surely.
  6. Sounds about right... 2288 is heading into troll territory... Barely a comment if the team wins, but no stop after a loss.... And always the same babbling... Here's the news... He's allegedly played Jr B hockey v 850 NHL games AND NHL coaching.... Green may not be everyones cup of tea, but I k ow who my money is on...
  7. I picked Montreal because you stated the team only played 3-4 games more than the other teams. at that time Canucks was very much in the hunt for 4th place, even without Pettersson. The start was brutal for Canucks. Had Covid not happened, there is a better than average chance they would have caught Montreal.
  8. Maybe... I think its more likely to be the fact the wife openly on social media suggested she’d do as she likes... if they had Covid and folks seemed to follow protocol, it could possibly be swept under the carpet, but by openly stating she do, what she pleases will no doubt have angered the owners. I don’t know, how the tv deal is set up, but wonder if it could cost the club financially, the n wich case owners will not be too impressed. But ofcourse this is just purely speculation.
  9. On a side note....(and not particularly aimed at Jake) This whole story makes me wonder, how much time is spent by the organisation in general educating the players (youngsters in particular) about their conduct. These young millionaires may easily be led to believe they are invincible and the law doesn't apply to them, once they become superstars... I'm sure there is a lot of education going on regarding drink and drugs, especially since Kassians issues, but do they actually take the players aside and explain to them, that in this day and age they can't just do, what they want?
  10. This is just not true... on March 25th after Nucks played their last game before their break they had played 6 games more than Montreal. Vancouver 37 games Montreal 31 games in a span of 2months and 10 days I’d argue with all the travelling involved, it makes a huge difference... On top of that coming back after a Covid outbreak, from which none of us knows, how fattigued/ hard hit the players really have been, they now have to catch up anywhere from 5 games v Montreal to 8 games v Ottawa within a month having to play 19 games... And you honestly still don’t believe it matters? Lets say a team plays 30 games in 40 days with travel etc., give them 15 days of, you expect them to be in same position as a team that plays 30 games over a 55 day period with small pockets of breaks in between? You may not like this management, but stop making up bs just to fit you narrative.
  11. Not exactly true as far as remember.... Did they not try to deal with his addiction issues first? Believe they had him in treatment, but he did show the commitment at the time, as thus got traded away from the environment... Another sad story.
  12. Agree, which makes me think there’s more to the Covid story than meets the eye... don’t know what it is, but the trade came straight out of left wing, and honstly didn’t make sence to me besides that... If they needed him to be a 3rd line center and he couldn’t fit that position, play him on the wing, let him get some points, thus increasing his value... So I think there is more to the Covid story... maybe management or even owners freaked out over his girl friend speaking so lightly about Covid protocol... and made him pay for it, when the whole team went down... Don’t know, just though the timing of the trade was odd...
  13. Are you new to CDC? They could play the rest of the games with no rest in between, and they would still be crucified.... by part of the fanbase. Lot of fans want a high draft pick, but don’t like the way to achieve this...
  14. Sweet dreams everyone.... too painful to watch... Boy played well up till the third goal against...
  15. Leaf finally gets a penalty... they are leading 4-1... start to take liberties boys...
  16. they may be down, but definitely still in it.... cmon boys it there for the taking.
