 Bo will be 28. I wonder how happy he is to know they are that far away from contending? He may well only have a couple of peak years before he declines. What a waste.

Connor McJebus laughs in minus 40 for 8 months of the year.

I'd pretty much trade any pieces on this team but Petey and Quinn for Hedman, right now, today, hands down. He's easily the most dominant player in the league. The entire game is dictated by when he's on the ice.

[Dumb Nuck]

Jake for the hat trick including GWG in OT 3-2 ‘Nucks.

Honestly it just takes time. I dont see anyone like that one the canucks. But to think our core is in its prime right now is ridiculous. Half of the core have less than 3 yrs experience. Hedman and stammer have been in the league for a decade. Even think to when the twins were dominate. 29? 30? That's later than imo but I agree with JB when he said that you win with players at their peak at 27 yrs old.

Hope we can pull another win using him bennings “day to day plan “

it would be sad if we waited to long and “ ran out of time” to get the deal done. 
it’s ok thou because “every team has bad contracts” 

“Travis Is doing a great job” oh so that’s why he hasn’t been extended.

but  don’t worry we’ll be “ really competitive in two years.” 

huh 9 years hope no one goes back to his comments 7 years ago when he clearly stated

That wouldn’t be us with a 10 year tebuild. 

 

Just hope the young guys keep it going.

 

 

 

When he said day to day he was referring to on the ice, you know take it game by game and try to battle back into the race.

The media needs clicks and turned it into a hit piece.

We have not been consistent all season

 

lets see if we actually are “turning the corner” tonight 

 

will be a major test

If anything, the state of this franchise in 2021 should be a testament to just how badly Mike Gillis mangled it.

 

It's taken this long, just to get back to here.

Yes, I don't think the Canucks have done anything to convince me that they have turned the corner. The only stand outs are Demko, and Hoglander. The rest of the team has been meh, at best. A win tonight is good, but for some reason I am not expecting much. There's absolutely no consistency on this team, and no indication from coaching or management that there's ever going to be any coming.

Hopefully Jake has another big game and getting the top line slot is what he needs this afternoon to maintain momentum.

How old were Toewes and Kane when they won their cups and how have they done in the last few years?

Sam Hallam, 

I wish we can hire this guy, he thinks outside the box.... he combines all sports in his strategy.  Especially since our group is full of swedes.....

Who does MacEwan have to kill to get in the line up... I guess Roussel?

Hedman was 29 and Stamkos was 30 before they won their first Cup. Ovechkin was 32.  Joe Sakic was 27.  Steve Yzerman was 32.  Nicklas Lidstrom was 27. 
 

Poor BO. He may not win a Cup until he’s 28.
