Tortorella's Rant Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Amazing how some of you people have such short memories. This team is underachieving. It has been like that the latter part of the season. The scoring has gone down and our goalies have stepped up in most nights. We didn't change the core. It's the same one as last year. What did you expect after last year SCF? A major overhaul? Give me a break. The one thing that needs a change is the personnel behind the bench. AV has not adapted this team to physical teams such as Boston and LA. Even against Chicago, they struggled a couple years before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth's Snapback Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Telling you to shut up, just wouldn't be enough. Your hockey knowledge, pardon me, lack of hockey knowledge, is showing OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie.Sheen Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Face the facts.. Mike Gillis has not ADDED ONE CORE piece to the team, he has simply rested on the foundation that was built by Burke and Nonis (Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Lu, Schneider, Edler etc.) So far in his tenure he has done a good job in adding complementary players... But guys who make big money and were thought to be apart of the core, Ballard and Booth both seem terrible because of the contracts and limited production. However, Gillis should NOT be fired... Lets not rush to judgement as now we will see what Gillis is made of as big changes are needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 With the majority of the core players left over from previous regimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksbiggestfan Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am no longer a Gillis supporter and want him run out of town. Get the **** out of here. Can't wait to see his ass get canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 How is Malhotra not there under the epic fail category? 2.5m faceoff guy who has hands of stone, liability 5 on 5.. but apparently, he's good in the locker room so i guess that makes up for it. I dont care if he's tops in faceoffs, a 4th liner shouldnt be making that money unless his name is Chris Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bunnies Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Grabner - at the time wouldn't have had the chances to play top-six role like he did with Islanders Sundin - bad signing? He made our core guys better players and the players they are today Ballard - it may look bad now, but at the time our D was extremely weak, this was before Hamhuis signing Booth - you call this a negative? We completely ripped off Florida. We got rid of a terrible signing in Sturm Mitchell - technically we tried to sign him, he wanted more. And if we did re-sign him, Hamhuis wouldn't be here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Vancouver was/is more physical than Boston based on individual hits throughout the regular season this year and last. Vancouver also outhit Boston back in January; they beat them at 'their own game'. It's a common misperception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
