Chris Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It's nice to be reminded why I stopped posting around here like I used to. Only sunshine and rainbows when talking about the Canucks; or you're totally against the team; any talk of what is actually going on is to be ignored; all facts that don't benefit the Canucks are either untrue or biased; all suspensions/league rulings are obviously in favour of every other team in the league and the Canucks are being singled out because of the Evil Gary Bettman who is totally against the Canucks and is the single reason we haven't won a cup in 40+ years( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Eriksson needs to be in a top six role to succeed. What I don't get is if Skille gets a chance with Horvat then why not Loui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we live in a bubble and pretend the Canucks can do no wrong? yes , yes we should. and if you do you can become friends with Old News and Gerry 35. Wait, who is this Gerry 35 ?

GB5 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Actually I still think Louie was a decent signing. The trouble is that the stifling system he plays under means that no one is allowed to play offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeekz37 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Can't blame Loui for a whole team underachieving (or just learning in some cases). "Biggest UFA Busts"... I expected some bigger names.... How the hell is Carter Hutton a "BIG UFA" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, TO hasn't done anything yet but be bad. They're still bad. They need some more experienced forwards to help out the kids, that will be TO's off-season summer plan, just watch. Then the writers will be really confused when we also have a mix of older vets and young talent. But they'll probably just say we're copying TO.

JamesB Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 2 hours ago, Type R said: I have a difficult time carving into Erikson when the whole team is in a slump. It looks like he has no confidence out there, yet he had gobs of it the last few years.. Makes you wonder whats going on off the ice, in the dressing room. I hope the team is in a slump. But my fear is that the team is just not a good team. You expect teams to struggle in the second game of a back-to-back on a long tough trip against a good opponent (like Washington). But there is a difference between struggling and looking like you don't even belong on the same ice. Washington did not run up the score against the Canucks, thanks to Marky and pretty decent defensive play from the Ds. But they never looked like a threat to score. Basically the Canucks have looked bad in every situation this season. They were very fortunate to start the season with 4 wins -- thanks to great goaltending, extra-time wins, and some luck. Since then they have been the worst team in the NHL. 2 hours ago, Stelar said: I expected more from Loui. Still early but he looks real slow to me. One of many disappointments on players I thought would take the next step this year. I agree that I have been surprised at how slow Eriksson has looked. I did not like the deal when it was signed because I thought the last two or three years would be ugly. But I thought that the first two or three years would be okay. But right now this deal looks bad from the very start. Maybe Loui will pick things up this season, but the length of contract looks like a real problem. I know there a lot of Benning defenders on CDC, but we can see why he the sports media and the analytics community is so critical of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakanucks Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 LOL....biggest busts with 30 games in.......did NHL shorten their regular season to 35 games now? We're not even halfway through the season. Talk about busts when the season is over. Tons more of things happening around the league to write about...

Didn't you know that the best way to build a team is to take 20 years to blow it up, then when you finally do, you bury 10's of millions of dollars in the minors and you give assets away for free. #asset management. I don't know about you but this "article" looks like it was written by the same 400 bound loser in his moms basement that hacked Hilary's emails lol.. Herp derp, let's write and article judging long term contracts on under 30 games.. speaking specifically to to our contract on the list.. Yes LE is struggling mightily but you don't judge a 6 year contract on 30 games, well, unless you completely lack any common sense. Just like Calgary, the teams success relies on the success of a midget. Could you imagine the hate that Crockster would spew if we had all that money buried, and we're giving assets away like candy? On on a side note.. In order to claim something is an article. Should there be some kind of link? For all we know this was mashed up by some angry paper bag wearing lunatic talk about mad bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
