Looks bad on the team for firing a coach that early into the season. Reeks of instability and dysfunction. you mean 4 games into a new contract is too early? 2 minutes ago, IBatch said: We lose two more games ... i wouldn't at all be surprised if JB plays his last card. he played that card when he chose to keep green this last offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one lineup change I would make is putting Burroughs in for Schenn. I don’t think Burroughs should have been scratched in the first place, as he was playing well. Didn't really like Hunt's performance on Tuesday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think so, at least. 20 games into the season? Okay, might be the right time to fire a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though, if the boys lose tonight, things are going to be even more tensed in the room. Sometimes players want to win so badly, they take it on themselves, aka Miller. I think the one trade chip you have (i know it's early to be talking about trades), is probably JT Miller. He's got two more years left before he becomes a UFA. I don't get the sense that he'll be a Canuck after this contract is done. Might go back to the states to play. If Benning can get a blue-chip RHD prospect/young defenseman in return for Miller, I'd make that deal. And then that'll give the team money to resign Bo (and we absolutely need to have him back; losing your cap is an absolute no go). Not opposed to that at all. Especially with Podz now on the roster. Miller's contract gives Podz a bit more time to mature and find his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 If I remember correctly Kirby Dach had a good game against us last time we played. Canucks are getting lots of shots. They will start going in. Not to worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 It's strange to see where things are at right now. Gadjovich and MacEwen lost to waivers Hamonic taking a leave of absence Hughes injured journeyman NHLers being given roster spots over promising younger players special teams as flat as, if not flatter than last season defense looking eerily similar to last season The team is still struggling to find an identity, with one newer player going as far as saying that they need to create a culture in the team. I hope things turn around, but even if they ventilate Chicago tonight, I don't think, in my humble opinion, that it will be convincing enough. Here's to hoping. 1 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whcanuck Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 If the Canucks have a strong effort in both games and actually come away with 2 wins in Chicago & Seattle, I and a lot of other fans will be singing a very different tune about this road trip & the Canucks start. That’d make them 3-2-0-1 for the trip and that’s not half bad! But if the effort is anything resembling the Buffalo game, if the PP & PK continue to sputter, if the team looks at all disinterested or isn’t competing hard enough…oh boy, I could legitimately see a drastic measure, like a coaching change, in the Canucks’ near future. Early yes, but these two games are critical for the Canucks & the team’s psyche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, might be the right time to fire a coach. I was joking. I don't see canucks making any changes in season. I feel like jim and travis have been given the year with the mandate to make the playoffs. if they miss, they're both out of chances. if they go out in the first round, they both still may go, but it'll likely depend on the team's performance and specific circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highmore was very noticeable in first 2 games.. then kinda tailed off... that's kinda expected right?? It'll be a tough decision on whether to send down Dowling or Highmore once Motte is ready to return.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
