[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers | February 25, 2021 | 7 p.m. PT | SN

[canuck2288]

Montreal:

24 Cups, winning culture that simply will not accept losing. Changes are made to right the ship when results are not there 
 

Vancouver:

0 Cups, losing culture that has no problem accepting losses. Stays with the status quo and hopes to win a Cup someday.....50 plus years and counting. Simply the most results inept franchise in the league and pro sports overall

And people wonder why fans are frustrated?

A little context with their 3000 stanley cups would be nice. 

 

They wont accept losing yet they've been sucking the bottom of the barrel since 93.

In a strange way Burrows hired is like a huge middle finger to Julien for everything that was said during the 2011 playoffs. 

Unfortunately there is no ring on that finger though.

Not a fan of Juolevi sitting for Hamonic.  Olli had been growing as a player and getting to know the league.  Too bad!

I'm sure Horvat will get along great with Virtanen.

Some players never sit and some are good candidates to sit; hoping OJ would not sit but this staff just would not be willing to bench a vet in the d core...

Why are you a fan then?   How long have you been following this team - as a fan i mean because your certainly aren't acting like one.... - is your life so miserable you just have to spam the CDC GDT/PGT with so much covert and overt invalidation?   Are you really a Canucks fan or a Leafs fan?   Or a Flames one?   Part of me could respect that - it would make more sense and actually some of your spam would even be a little funny too.   

 

When you say things like this i want to punch you in the face.   That's creating an emotional response because your invalidating the Linden era - our best one to date - pretty much an automatic bye to the second round when he was in the lineup.   Hiding behind this persona that we shouldn't celebrate anything but "pure excellence" in our history is complete nonsense.   Original six teams...odds one every six years win a cup.   Then for a couple years one every 12 (well not really - didn't get the same players as the original six did they)...  Then WHA added - soon 21 teams ... now 31 soon to be 32.   It all re-sets each time after a few years.     It comes across as whiny uber spoiled kid who keeps acting up because he didn't get what he wanted for his birthday.   And won't shut up about it.   Even some that agree with you - must be feeling a little ashamed for enabling you at this point.
 

My suggestion- either come clean and tell us all what team you really cheer for (TB would be a good choice) or cut it out.    The ignore button is on pretty heavy by now i'm sure.   Maybe reflect, pay some penance or just start a new account altogether.   In the meantime please refrain from words like garbage etc.   There was a time before Messier that anyone putting on our jersey - folks identified with them and bought it.   Respect matters - as does credibility and yours is minuscule right now in that catagory - don't mistake a few enablers as making you right.   As a Canucks fans  your a compete embarrassment,  maybe even  "most inept in the history of all pro sports " .

U think Benning is good at hard Balling? It is widely reported that other teams were offering Beagle 1 year @ 1m-1.5m and inept idiot  foes out and gives him 4*3m

I even wonder if you know that other factors usually come into play as to whether a team can offer 1.5m or 4.3m but of course you can't see.

Leafs 54 years and counting...

If that Benn-Myers pairing stays, they're gonna get lit up. 

 

Should be OJ-Myers.

that and Bergevin really needs a haircut. 

 

Montreal hasn't done much imo warrant the praise they get on CDC. Yes they went out and made some big moves, but right now they are a bubble playoff team.

I hope we finally get to see Hawryluk in tonight. Roussel is probably going to be a penalty magnet tonight after making Puljujarvi cry.

Sure gets stinky in here whenever the team is on a losing streak. Smells like being under a bridge where filthy unwashed trolls congregate to urinate and defecate on various members of the organization. Time for the Canucks to come up with a dominating performance to shut up the clowns at least for a while.

I'm not saying Green is a supercoach, but he knows as well as anyone that Juolevi is not the issue. It is actually smart to manage the load for a young player that has been prone to injury. It is also smart to bring Hamonic back into rotation and get him some game time for a change. He may be a decent option next season but we don't really know what we have there and whether he has chemistry with our team until he has played a chunk of games. The Canucks won't make the playoffs, so may as well use this season to make some informed decisions for next season.

The reality is that Van will be selling at the trade deadline. Harmonic likely going so TOI is part of the process. Even with his limited usage he could bring a 3rd back.

Hamonic has a NMC per CapFriendly - can’t be traded.

He can waive it though - and why wouldn't he because his next contract depends on something from him.

I agree with this, he may choose to waive it for a good fit, I think he just wanted control and not be bumped around the league.

Especially during this pandemic.  I think a 3rd round pick might be a bit optimistic for him though.  We couldn’t even get a 3rd for Hamhuis who had far more gas left in the tank than him.

depends on who else is available I guess, but I'd be thrilled with a 3rd. 4 or 5 seems more likely but still nice for free. 

 

I think our bigger ticket will be Sutter 1/2 retained. I could see Edmonton really solidifying its bottom 6 with Sutter. 

[Heretic]

The Canucks should watch this before the pre-game!

If the issue is him not being happy then only he knows why but I suspect if he didn’t like Vancouver he’d be asking for a trade but if he didn’t like the coaching he’d probably be keeping quiet so I suspect the latter, if he just gave up mentally and he’s finished then that’s sad.

I believe Green benching him before the playoffs last year was probably the last straw for Jake, I really seen a decline in his effort after that. Jake is no saint, but there have been plenty of players over the years who did not play as well as they should have but have never been treated like Jake has over the years. However, this year, OJ, Gauds and Mac have had a taste of Greens wrath. It really is sad that our young players are being treated like that and we thought Torts was bad.

We have been in the league much longer than ‘93
