Popular Post Freeridebc Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 The more I've been watching, cursing, throwing things... it got me thinking... Man, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and it's bright as eff word. Never in history have we played this many games, in such a short time. So here is my take. Next year we will see Toffolli twice? Next. Hoglander looks legit. Oli looks like he can serve a purpose. JV is def done. And our Big Russian looks like he's ready to break our top 6. Would a high pick hurt us? No. There's a clear picture of who everyone is and who is expendable. Let's wash this season up to what it is. A freak show. We all watched to watch the 'nucks win. But its not the end. 1 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coconuts Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 It's painful to watch, but maybe it's not the worst year to be bad. All we as fans can do is watch and see. 4 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King Heffy Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 I still think that if we replace Baumer with literally anyone, the defense will improve. A lot of the issues are caused by our defensive system being a steaming pile of garbage. Firing the unqualified idiot responsible for this group is the first step necessary. Firing Green is a positive move too now that he's decided to allow Eriksson to disgrace our jersey once again, and Brown's idea of a power play is sticking a fork into the wall socket. 1 1 5 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Definitely not the end. They could even turn things around if they got hot. If anything it's a good way to purge and sell off any peaked assets and consolidate the roster and figure out what we have to work with going forward. Next season probably looks something like Miller - Petey - Brock (don't fix what's not broken) _____ - Bo - Hoglander (if TP doesn't come back this duo can still carry things) Roussel - _______ - Podkolzin? (presuming AG, JV and BS are all gone, they could maybe sign a center to help the 3rd line gel) Motte - Beagle - MacEwen (not a terrible 4th line if TM and ZM keep developing, the wingers can help drive play) _______ - Schmidt (Edler's probably done, unless he takes a big reduction in price and role) Hughes - Myers* (that's unless TM gets picked by Seattle; or bring back Benn?) Juolevi - Chatfield (maybe not as a pairing but there's good pieces to work with here) (Hopefully Hamonic can return, this blueline will need help) Demko (he'll need help if Holtby goes in ED) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImConfused Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I love posts like these. Things could always be worse! That said, I heard Dan Cloutier is out of retirement, and looking for a Goaltender position in the NHL - should we sign him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Sophomore jinx is what it is. Wha? Ok Hughes. Same for Petey. Sure it's his 3rd season but close enough. Why? They showed tremendous success in the bubble and now they think that this game is easier than it really is. My theory is that Green showed the team some video, a lot of video of them playing in the bubble before their last game. There's more to their woes than just this. These things are complicated but this is one of about 6 things that they can target to improve performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erickson is like what 10 games away from 1000 games played? We should make a deal with him, we will allow him to get to 1000 and give him all the ceremony stuff associated with it in exchange for him retiring right after or at least at the end of the season. Make it an ultimatum, take the deal or sit for the rest of his contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kole Lind is also being groomed as a center and I would assume that we would get some piece back in AG/JV trade if one or both were to go down. I'd also re-sign Sutter at 2-2.5 mil, he is still a serviceable player and he is an effective penalty killer. But that defence needs work. Maybe we will have to re-visit OEL trade? If so, I would trade Schmidt to make the room. Alternatively, Edler can brought back and we upgrade RHD via trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a teenager I didnt like him cause of that 200 foot goal he let in the playoffs and that wce era team had so much promise and we never made it. But looking back he had heart, and passion. kinda like Ryan Miller. Dont see that nearly as often these days Remember when he tuned in Tommy Salo when he played for the Rags lol. And then challenged the islanders whole bench haha Edited February 10, 2021 by 10pavelbure96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then challenged the islanders whole bench haha I have so many Cloutier memories. Thank you. He was my first favourite player you could say. He had one brilliant season here too. And a couple average ones. Took too much heat imo. The Canucks were very run and gun back then. Felt super bad when he let in that goal. That was the turning point. I thought we coulda made a run that year Edited February 10, 2021 by Devron44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This season is just evidence at how impatient people are. I keep hearing "well when is the right time to complain if not now?" My answer to that is give it at least a couple of years from now. We need to develop and grow as a team. Losing like this, there's a good chance it'll strengthen us for later on. If anyone seriously thinks nothing but negative about this team right now, they really need to sit down and question it, In fact, I'll tell you what. If we're still playing like this in 2 years, I'll jump on that bandwagon of "we didn't do enough". However, we need to actually be playing as bad as we are now for a looooong period of time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
