  1. You can't trade Demko within our division period. You keep him. If you have to trade him it is for a great return and it is only to the east.
  2. Nice to be on the other side of a deal for once. Player pick and prospect for a rental and we reset the leadership in the room. I'm ok with this deal.
  3. Correct. He wasn't the problem but he was a good trade chip to kick off a return and turn the page. He also accomplished zip as a Captain and the team needs to have new leadership in the room. I have no problem with this trade.
  4. Bo was here 9 years and we won nothing and were treading water and/or sinking the last couple of years. Trade was needed. Time to change it up. Decent return and the start of a new chapter. I have no problem with it.
  5. Isn't this just a picture of the Penguins meeting the President after winning the Cup - which is simply an annual tradition?
  6. Should you trust him to be around your daughters - yes. (He's old). Should you trust him to properly walk your dog - no. (He's old). Is he going to improve the Canucks.....let's see. (He's got a good track record but again, he's old).
  7. Anyone find anywhere the game is on? $200 bucks a month for cable and they give us a message that we don't gat the game that we are supposed to get?
  8. That is laughable partner. Horvat was made captain and has been treated with respect by each management team since. You are dreaming out loud buddy. The fact that he hasn't been signed is not disrespect it is negotiation. He has been treated with all the respect any captain in the league has been.
  9. Do you actually ever attend games? Or do you just watch from the couch and read Vancouver sports media before posting? How many times have you watched OEL live this year?
  10. Tocchet is a meathead but I believe that he is going to try his best. JR has brought him in to end the country club and shake things up. JR will then direct Allvin to make trades to reshape the team for the future. It all may work or it all may blow up spectacularly. Guess we will see...
  11. His overall coaching record is terrific and speaks volumes. He has a really incredible resume. One of the reasons he was loved so much here is that his history brought with it a belief that he was a winner and would help the team win. Vancouver will always support a guy with a truly impressive record.
  12. Jim Rutherford is destroying the very fibre of this team. Being at the game tonight and being taunted by a huge number of Oilers fans cheering and jeering and laughing at Canuck fans in their own building is awful. I did not enjoy it one bit, Up yours Rutherford. What is your plan huh buddy? Just destroy the team and the organization and leave it in shambles and then retire? Leave Bo in limbo, say you're not happy with the job you've done, say you want a retool, hang the coach out to dry, complain about the defense and do nothing to fix it, have no clear plan for the organization just a negative energy that permeates everything and brings everyone down. Is that honestly what we are all seeing? What a joke of an old worn out useless has - been this guy is.
  13. I was at the Canucks vs Oilers tonight. I've been a long time season ticket holder and have been to many games over the years. Here's is what is different right now. The stands were filled with Oilers fans. These people are buying tickets from Canucks fans who are tuning out and selling their seats. Don't blame them $200 seats are tough to just waste if you don't feel like going to watch a losing team. This will continue. So get used to this Canucks fans. Being in a building where there are so many Oilers fans they are taunting Canucks fans with their chants and cheers and jeers is just not fun. I am appalled at what a lousy job Jim Rutherford has done. Allvin is a nobody so he doesn't count. This mess is all on JR. I will not be buying season tickets next year. This mess has to end and I won't support it anymore. Get rid of Rutherford and bring in somebody who at least knows that you can't destroy the culture of a team without any plan to build it better. He wants a retool. What an idiot. He is destroying the very fibre of the team, while opposing fans cheer and jeer and taunt the home fans in their own building. What a (re) tool he is.
  14. NHL coaching records: Willie Desjardins 136 - 144 - 35 Travis Green 133 - 147 - 34 Rick Tocchet 125 - 131 - 34 Bruce Boudreau 1085 - 617 - 340 JR wants to fire Boudreau and hire Tocchet. What is this a nightmare??
  15. Canuck coach Boudreau has been a fan favorite. He came in last year and single handedly gave the players back their pride as he coached them to a terrific rebound and nearly made the playoffs. His reward was JR the crappy old jerk saying that he didn't like the team's lack of defensive structure. In reality - what he didn't like was a popular coach that he didn't choose. What have JR an Allvin done other than tear down the coach, leave Bo in limbo, extend Miller and create a gawdawful mess that Canuck fans are embarassed by. I have had season tickets for a long time but that is it for me. While these jerks are in charge I am not going to be buying season tickets again. Plus the $24 beers and the shoddy way this management has ignored season ticket holders and all fans. If these guys fire BB and bring in Rick (worst resume in the NHL) Tocchet................- SEE YA LATER.
  16. Based on listening to the whole interview I would conclude that the following will happen: 1. Bo traded for a young centre and a young RD by the trade deadline 2. OEL bought out in June. 3. Poolman status will be a buyout in June if he is healthy or LTIR for the rest of his contract. 4. Miller will not be traded. JR feels his contract will not be a burden as the cap goes up. He is here long term. He talks about making unpopular moves that is number 1. He talks about buyouts and OEL is the one that moves the needle. He talks about clarity coming on Poolman. Not saying I agree with him - just that this is what I think he is saying he is going to do.
