It's a shame we keep running into these big strong fast teams. 

Did Green say that? I can’t watch the interviews rights now

Mike Futa or Dean Lombardi for GM

Anyone that can string a sentence together 

 

i love our drafting but other moves have been generally bad

Who's going to coach in the interim? 

Newell or Baumer take your pick... 

[Canuckfanforlife82]

Who thinks we are going to go 25 wins and 14 losses the rest of the way to make the playoffs? That’s what they need.

I thought we had a real shot this year. Adding Schmidt felt big, Hoglander being a great player, having 2 capable goalies, and having the stars we do... but things just haven't clicked at all.

 

Injuries aside, this season has been absolute worst case scenario.

I remember after finally getting shafted on the OEL thing that we hadn't really accomplished anything and had lost so many players.

Schmidt is definitely a good add but I think if we are all truthful and unbiased we really knew this years' team was never going to be as good without Marky making 35-40 point blank saves a night and losing our best pure all around defender.

Playoff bubble was a classic case of getting into the show and catching fire and staying relatively healthy with stellar goaltending but we went into the pandemic on a terrible skid. Not even sure points-wise if we actually made the playoffs.

We still have a ways to. 
We need Petey at 195 lbs.

We need Huggy to keep doing his thing and give him more forwards that can bury the puck.

It's tough man... every team in this league is going for it. Only so many elite players to go around.

They have low taxes. That is it.

The NHL really need to adjust the cap to account for tax differences. 

Maybe only do the hard cap with after tax income. 

Well, what about Habs and Leafs? Cant make up excuses when you sign Myers and Eriksson for a combined 12 million dollars long term deals.

If every team we play is big and fast, maybe it just means we’re...

...oh crap

How did you think we had a big shot? adding schmidt? while losing Toffoli, Markstrom, Tanev, Stecher, Leivo, Fantenberg and Ferland. Look at what we lost, thats a lot of quality players that helped us go deep in playoffs.

 

First off, I said 'real shot' - as in a legit chance to atleast compete for a playoff spot - not be the best team in the division. 

 

Second;

- Ferland, Leivo were complete non-factors last year.

- Toffoli barely played for us in the regular season or playoffs. And Hoglander's finally filled the top 6 hole we've had for years.

- Fantenberg & Stecher are replaceable with Hamonic, Juolevi, & improved play from Benn.

- I thought Schmidt/Hamonic could make up for losing Tanev, especially Schmidt being a potential big boost.

- And Markstrom was a loss, but I thought our goaltenders could hold the fort behind, on paper, a potentially improved defense.

 

I don't think any of these thoughts were far out there at the beginning of the season.

Funny you keep spamming Babcock, Burke calls him a greenpeace coach and incapable of coaching a tough team. Hard pass on severely overrated Babs 

Pass on Babs dont like his reputation example Marner

Can't believe we let Malholtra go

Yeah, we didn’t have to either. We should have promoted him. I doubt Toronto would have let us have him if roles were reversed.

Bruce Boudreau is also out there 

 

i like Gallant but maybe this team needs Babs? 

Babs is softer than babys***

You also can’t wait for a guy that may not become available.

 

Its often picking the best of who is available.

 

Right now they have many good options to choose from.

 

Allowing this tank fest to continue during a season you told your fans expectations are to make the playoffs is unacceptable.

You can say they have good options, but the guy tasked to make that decision might disagree. Can't read Jim's mind on this one. 

[Zhukini]

Skipping the next game. Hope they win but wouldn’t bother me if they lost.

 

This team is so F ing lucky there aren’t fans in the stands. They can count their lucky stars. There would be jerseys thrown for sure

That is a very solid point. Exchange rate must be dreadful for Canadian owners.

[-SN-]

The Canucks have not had a lead for 360 minutes. :/

 

Maybe we'll break through on Saturday. Small goals.

Everyone is for sale this trade deadline.

This will probably be the quietest trade deadline in NHL history with covid.

 

Nobody wants our overpaid scraps with a 2 week quarantine attached
