Interesting to see how this guy turns out even though no guarantee Jimbo would have picked him. Can't afford another 10m dollar player. It's why he traded for other teams scraps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't care if he accepts; beat the living crap out of him. I also motion that he is renamed Captain Clown.

Garland, who I would argue is our top offensive guy right now, should not be relegated to 10 minutes a night, dropped to the 3rd line and the #2 PP. What happened to playing the "hot hand" and rewarding good play? The Lotto line is off right now, so don't play them 20+ minutes every night and give someone else the chance to be the hero. When they get back to themselves, then go back to playing them all the time. It might even be a little more entertaining for the fans, who knows. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green has sacrificed games, and wasted players on hot streaks all to try and get the lotto line going. Garland has been fire. Play him. Pettersson has sucked. Cut his minutes. It’s about winning games. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey needs to change to his old wrists to get his shot/handling back. A wrist injury, especially one serious enough to keep him out over half of last season does not heal up over the summer, it's going to take at least a year before it feels normal and he has the confidence to let it rip, and sadly it might never to get back to where it was before the injury. I know knee injuries are much the same, even if you regain all the pre-injury leg strength, it takes time mentally before you totally trust the knee on hard turns and contact. Considering that Petey has little else to offer other than his shot and play making, we are currently overpaying for his services. If he were a big body, or a better skater, then the loss of some wrist mobility might be less important, but that's not the case. I'm hoping that over the next ten games he proves me wrong, and gets back to old Petey, I do think he's looked better in the last two games, but he's still not himself.

Slegr Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hope we can all agree that if the Canucks lose this game, firings need to be had. Coach. GM. Either or both. … No pressure though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Tonight could be that night when hope returns . . Bo's fast break against the Flames in the playoffs, Jakes bone crushing hit on McDiver ( yeah hindsight on that one ), Brock scoring in his first game. Petey absoluting roofing it in his first game, Gretzky himself blow away by Huggys skill in the All star game. For the past 8 years we've seen glimmers, but tonight could be the night we see the real hope that this core with the team that Jett Black Jimbo has assembled could come together to be a contender with a dominant performance against the Rags. Or are they gonna come out like a bunch of hung over beer leaguers and give up a goal in the first 5 mins... who knows.. The only thing u can be sure of is that i'm getting drunk on a Tuesday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still shake my head at the fans here who want to see our top six fighting. It's so easy to break a hand, a knuckle, an orbital bone, or have your helmetless head plowed into the ice (Kassian is incredibly lucky he didn't have permanent damage from that pre-season fight with Mac), and bang, end of season or maybe end of career. We pay these guys way too much to be fighting. Let the bottom six guys and third pairing guys be your goons, the last thing this team needs is for Miller to be lost for an extended period, waste of money and talent. Miller gets paid to score, PP and PK. I know Iginla used to fight, but that's really rare these days, and I'm sure every time he dropped his gloves his coach, GM, and owner held their collective breaths. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
