Pod was better today than yesterday. I think he is having trouble playing with junior level players. He may need to play with AHL and NHL caliber players before he starts to shine.

[PGT] St. Louis Blues at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2019
fanfor42 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Ya Green if you want to win the game give your top scorer best player and fastest skater more than 1 freaking shift in OT. EP got 47 seconds in OT. Green blew that and cost his team a chance to win. Inexperience sucks as a coach. -

Agreed. Also EP got 1 shift in OT. Nonsense. Green coaching like an inexperienced guy who is trying to outsmart everyone rather than playing his best player in OT (EP) and playing a guy who had a hot game (Virt). Smh. -

Petey gets 1 shift. 47 seconds in OT. Wtf Green. What are you thinking. Your best player best scorer and fastest skater. That needs to be asked. What coach makes that choice? -
Hey OP the only thing that matters is the teams record this year. Next year the only thing that matters is the teams record next year. Analysis of what coulda shoulda woulda over the past 4 years becomes as meaningful as termites living in a tree now. Bunch of wriggling. Proof is in the pudding. I'm not wrong.

He so far is about the 6th best Russian forward. Jet lag maybe. He has 6 games here to show his stuff. Slow start but let's see. And before you googly eye me take a breath. He hasn't looked great so far. That's all.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at San Jose Sharks | Nov. 02, 2019
fanfor42 replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Interesting parallel between SJ of now and the nux of a few years ago. Trying to extend a window and signing older complimentary players to play with an aging core. Guess they needed Torts to tell then they were stale. Lol. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Anaheim Ducks | Nov. 01, 2019

Marky with the swing and a miss. Lol. Goalie can be a tough gig. On to the next! -
I have to take the high road and assume that Sutter thinks nicknaming Quinn "Huggy Bear" will benefit the kid in his career. Id hate to think Sutter isn't putting the team first. He helped Goldobins development by calling him out on balls...didnt he? Lol. Suts fans can fill us in.

[GDT] Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers, Oct 2, 2019, 7 PM
fanfor42 replied to KyoNami's topic in Canucks Talk
You know it's one game. And you know people have hacked on him before. And you know he's still alive so anything is possible. But for the love of God how can Virtanen bring so little energy to start the year? It's the first game and he has no fire. Oh jeez. It's just sad. -

On a positive note Myers. On a negative note Leivo Schaller Virtanen. -

Posting in the gdt during the game is completely useless as nobody reads it. Lol. For example. Goooaaalll!!! .......Oh wait we scored!!!!!!!!!! GD Meyers and Edler have looked good! -
JB and Green views were clear. It's an evolution. The team has better players now. Baer did not look great in preseason. So he was deemed expendable. Pretty tepid response from the pro Baer crowd. So I'd say the decision was met largely with acceptance by the Canuck faithful. If he's not claimed then jury has gone out and come back in.

Green day of on Boeser hit. It was a hockey play. Green next day ir was a dirty hit. It was a hit I didn't like. Travis you bungled that. Heres what you need to say. " The dept of player safety needs to look at this. Its not up to me. But they need to look at it. If he says that he publically puts the onus on the league. Experience counts. Learn from this Travis and do better next time.

Not gonna happen this year.
-
Lol. You have provided a lot of laughs on this subject. Thx for that. But. I don't think they send Loui down. Sorry but it just isn't done. Maybe in his last year. If you were JB how would you explain to Aqua that you're spending big money now on a guy who half way thru his contract can't make the team. Won't happen Alf. (I feel like Dan Rowan. OK Dick...)
-
I don't think it's Loui or AG in a who is up who is down situation. Loui will be up because 6m NHL players with 3 years left don't go down. Gaudette will make the team. I trust that JB is an honest guy and will give him his due. Schaller Leivo and/or Goldy are the ones who may go down. Someone could be claimed. Let's see.
-
Garrett blamed that goal on Hughes 6 times. Then after the commercial. Oh ya. It was Chatfield. Preseason commentating! Lol.
-
Gaudette has earned his spot. Clearly better camp than Leivo McEwen Virtanen Eriksson Motte Goldobin Graovac Schaller. That puts him on the team unless they're hung up on waiver stuff for the guys he has beat out. Hopefully they say screw that and just give him his spot. 6 points in 6 games. Hell yeah
-
I suspect Virtanen gets at least half this year before trade becomes a real possibility. I think trade "rumours" right now are BS. He's still got upside but it's starting to wane if he doesn't break through soon. I'd say by Christmas well know what his year is looking like. Then we'll see what the team does with him.

Boeser & Fantenberg are both in concussion protocol,
fanfor42 replied to kilgore's topic in Canucks Talk
Here's the thing. 1 the nhl protocol on concussions is designed to protect the league from lawsuits. It is not designed to protect players. 2 If coaches or management speak out they are subject to fines/censure. So they say things like it's unfortunate but it's a hockey play. 3. The players know you can injure people and the repercussions are always less for the injurer than the injuree. This is the reality. Sad that this league protects itself and it's owners while exposing it's young stars. Sad. Sad.
