One guy I would’ve overpaid for was Marky.

A vezina caliber goalie? Na overpay for some Bottom six plugs with leadership instead ! And a third pairing dman tops!

[drdeath]

At least they're 2/2 on the first half of back to backs because they might go 0/7 on the 2nd

Good thing there isn't any fans in the stands to watch this! 

Even if there were, they would have walked out by now based on the steaming pile that was laid on the ice.

That was utter garbage.. wonder what Green will have to say to the team

He will call a timeout cuz he’s confused 

[Slegr]

What do you guys think about Larionov as a coach. Any chance he’d come over from Russia?

We have  5 top 6 forwards 

2 decent, not great goalies 

4 decent d 

not a bad 3 rd line 

 

oh and incompetent coaches 

 

 

Name 5 legitimate top 6 forwards on this team, that would be on a team hoping to make the playoffs. 
 

4 decent D? 
Hughes

Schmidt

Edler 

Myers. 
 

Other than Hughes offensively. Which of those is having a top 4 type season. 

[oldnews]

[canuck2288]

Our “young” team is out of shapE and have zero organization 

 

we win one game and think our problems are over 

 

sooooooo glad we did not extend Green 

[Jaimito]

Hope they win on Sat and salvage the 3 game series.

I've never been on board with letting JB go because I think he's done a great job.

 

But this off-season letting Markstron, Tanev, Toffoli, Stecher, Leivo all walk for nothing.   Those are some key pieces...  

 

You don't spend 5-7 years developing a goalie to let him walk to a rival at the beginning of his prime.

cap friendly lists the canucks roster salary at 68 million and change. What do you want JB to do when they announce a stagnant cap ceiling and your money is already committed? 

 

FOlks really need to breathe and understand that much like he Luongo deal coming back AFTER a new CBA to bite us, this one is just as bad but just as not our fault, Canucks, I mean. When you have spent all the money you had because you think there is more money coming and then it doesn't show up: meh.

 

Can we blame a 6 million dollar no show like Erikkson? YES

Can we blame the Commish for allowing a perfectly legal contract that the league allowed to be signed, to somehow hurt us way later after a new CBA is signed? YES

 

should we fire the coach or the GM after the first week of the COVID season? NO.

All of this wasted cap, could have been used to keep Toffoli, Tanev, Markstrom. Brutal.

Markstrom wouldn't look great with 2/5 of our D in front of him being rookies either, not with these coaches behind our bench 

Agree. Nothing that one player could do to change this game.

 

But if we kept Marky, Tanev, and Toffoli, we wouldn't be in this situation.

 

Yes, we couldn't give them the term but is there any team that does well after losing 3 key players? Not bottom 6, bottom pairing, or backup goalie but an elite starting goalie, a top 3/4 defensive defender who kills PK, and a top 6 forward. 

 

We could see this stinker of a season coming from miles away.

Yeah, there's no way we are getting through this grueling season with that thin defence depth.

 

Considering the number of players that are paid to not play, JB's bad decisions of the past are finally costing us and maybe him his job.

 

It's too bad because I think he's made a lot of good decision too and would love to see him finish the job.

 

Yep. Luke is straight up a bugger Quinn. Exact same skating style and mobility with the puck. He’s 6’2 as well 

[Devron]

Just curious if coaches get axed would they even have anyone to replace them. I mean wouldn’t they have to quarantine haha what a mess
