Or Glen could not lead the Flames to more points than us? That said, I would give Gallant the job over Jarvis I do agree with you about bringing Gallant in, he is a good option.

It is like we are spending cap space because we can, without much thought or strategy. Haha this is an amazing analogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2288 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I could live with Willie IF he brought in Howie Meeker every intermission to actually let the players know what they are doing wrong and how to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02z06 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Been following the Canucks since 1970, never been so disheartened, clearly no light at the end of the tunnel, most games the opponents appear to be on a power play 5 on 5, the Canucks Rope a Dope strategy is clearly not working, love the Sedins but they are no longer 1st line players.

Maybe the problem is the veteran "leaders" It is quite clear that they are not there to play. Maybe it's time to move on away from them. Those players I'd keep are Burrows, Hansen and that's it. The Sedins need to play in the East to prolong their career, no way they can complete this with long travel. This team is not made for older players joining that team with history of long travel.

alt kilgore Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The Sedins should have stayed home and enjoyed their families. Would probably work better to have their game load lessened a bit anyways. If "elite veteran" goaltenders need the breaks, why not forwards? In the alt hockey universe of 60 years ago when players were paid peanuts and the coach had all the power, this might have worked. I'd rather watch the Sedins play fresh in 72 games than watch them drag their butts around for 20 or more a season. But its not gon happen. Mostly because they have no other duo on the horizon to take their place yet. JB 's shine is wearing thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent NHL caliber coach would have scratched Ericksson by now. His play has been unacceptable on most nights, yet no response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, it's definitely not going to happen, but one would think a better rested Sedins for 70 games (resting on the odd back-to-backs) would actually help them greatly in the 70 games they do play, thus, making the team better. Unfortunately never gonna happen, but fun to dream about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
