HC20.0 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Ovie quit on Boudreau too. I think it's the way he's not afraid to call out star players. Sometimes guys with egos can't handle being called out, so instead of responding they just quit.It happens quite frequently. It was clear in 2013 and 2014 that AV and Torts both lost the room. The Sedin's I'm certain quit on Torts. If you see the video where Boudreau swears like a sailor, it was evident there by the player reactions that he'd lost the room. Ovie did quit on him, and I think Getzlaf and Kes both quit on Boudreau. Perry I think is just snake bitten, he's had many oppertunities. Just can't convert.

Canuck_Fan_52 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 BB reminds me of Marc Crawford when he was here. Great regular season coach, horrible coach in the playoffs. Crow at least won a cup with the Avs though, but only escaped the first round here once.The reason why Crow was able to win a Cup with the Avs was the fact that they were a very deep team at that time. He had a lot of talent to work with. The Canucks did make an effort to give them a run for their money and he also admitted that out of the 4 rounds in the playoffs that year, the first round was the hardest. When Crow came to Vancouver, he was dealing with a much different team as the Canucks were in rebuilding mode and not as deep as the Avs. The Sedins were still young and under the wings of the WCE line. Canucks were predominantly a one line team during his tenure which generated almost half their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 And I'm just going to sit here with my popcorn laughing at their misery. I hope they and the Flames fester at the bottom all season long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Bieksler watch: Combined G A +/- 0 3 -13However, that win on Sunday could be the early season turnaround. It almost has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrene Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Bieksler watch: Combined G A +/- 0 3 -13However, that win on Sunday could be the early season turnaround. It almost has to be.I don't know why you are hating on them. Just because they're not on our team anymore, you don't need to justify that the Canucks "won the trade". That attitude is so prevalent around here, and its so freaking cancer. Bieksa also led ANA in ice-time today in the 4-3 OTL to Arizona. Take that for what you will, but when 4 different coaches now trusts Bieksa with that much ice-time, he's clearly doing something right that the fans don't see.

Don't expect people not to compare players in trades, it's one part of how the growth of a team can be measured. Did we improve? Or regress? Bieksa was a fine dman while here. I supported him (an arbitrary #) %96 of the time. Of the 2 players he is the only one I'd take back under current contract situations, but am happy to be moving forward with other youth instead. Kesler and his 7 mil for 7 years is a different story though. Anaheim will end up regretting that contract. As far as the hatred statement is concerned, there is little to no emotion in my post, rather observation. If any, the emotion is hopeful for Anaheim to turn their season around.

Its also healthier to view the trade from a perspective of a win-win; the idea is that both sides will benefit from a trade rather than one GM "fleecing" another is more realistic. I doubt that they'd be in a position to make trades if they weren't knowledgeable. As for your little "Bieksler" remark: don't act dumb. Its no different from the "did Gomez score watch" floating around somewhere on the internet. When you add the stats of a defencemen that doesn't rack up a lot of points, a 2 way forward, and a +/- stat (which is more of an indicator of team statistic than individual- ANA is struggling right now, no sh!t their +/- is bad), its easy to tell that you're placing a negative connotation to your post. Did you really need me to break that down for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really need me to break that down for you? You are continuing to make a whole lot of assumptions about me, incorrect ones at that. I clearly stated that I was happier with new players, which for me results in a win even if the Ducks feel they won their move. My little "Bieksler remark"? Funny. I just thought I was saving time by combining 2 former players into half the original syllables. I had no idea that someone would take exception. At least you've backtracked from hatred to negative connotation. That much I'll allow. Still though, perceive whatever you like, it was an observation. Anyways, back to the Ducks.

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 That was a really stupid drop-pass by Getzlaf. Blowing a 2-0 lead to Arizona and losing 4-3 in OT is pretty embarassing, but it seems more and more teams can't hold on to leads in this day and age. This game is all about speed, skill and youth nowadays and the Coyotes are as young and fast as they get. The Ducks veterans look old and slow out there.

Glad we are addressing this expect to contend again in another couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does prove what Kesler was. Is?A role player! An excellent role player. Who plays hard and sacrifices his body. A role player who's athleticism and size can be used to counteract an excellent player. But a role player.His team will also still need more dynamic players with the puck. And as someone else mentioned, the team will still not perform unless the Perry's and Getzlaf's, the smooth skating D are flying. And its also suggests what Kesler also may be? What he was here. A distraction in the room when things are not going his way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanNuck Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Definitely puzzling - Boudreau is supposed to be one of the best coaches, leading one of the best squads. But I think they will manage to turn it around.If they don't turn around by December, I imagine they would part ways with him and promote Scott Neidermayer to head coach.

RRypien37 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Another great example of the douchebags formerly employed by the Canucks. Cowardly 2 on 1, with Mr. Tough Guy Bieksa continuing to punch after the refs get in.Makes me sick how many Canuck's fans continue to defend Bieksa. Also funny coincidence how the Ducks are now in the bottom 10 in the league GA with their recent defense acquisition. Two points, -5 and 13 gives away's in 17 games.
