Yes, it's our angry little elf: Connor McGarland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl either loved it or hated it. So far so good. I was a fan. If OEL can give us at least 4 good years, this trade is a home run. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Canucks Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Imagine going into this game with Beagle, Player Name, Roussel and no OEL or Garland... Damn this was a good trade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough there are still a couple haterz that pop up claiming Arizona will win the trade in several years because of the cap space. Isn't life too short to be that much of a whiner and complainer? Geez whiz, enjoy life when you can lol. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t being negative at all. I was saying that how Colorado (or anyone else) is struggling has nothing to do with why the Canucks have been struggling and it also doesn’t mean our team is better than they have been. People bring up those kind of false equivalencies all the time to try to minimize the problems with the Canucks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 This is a very tough game. Ducks have a history of thriving against us, we have to play a smart team game if we want the W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started the season missing Toews and Nate for a couple of games but still a team picked by many to win the cup should have the depth to cover that. They had a pretty soft schedule as well. The truth is they have looked really bad and their pp has been as bad as ours hell worse even. Their fans sound a lot like the ones here whining about TG but the truth is just like our top guys they have struggled but they haven't had very good goaltending and have been bad defensively 5on5. Literally their only bright spot has been Bowen, EJ, LOC and Kadri. The rest have been pretty bad. They lost a ton of depth and their young forwards haven't filled the void. At least here we have seen improvements in some areas, the Avs have literally regressed in every facet and being made of glass doesn't help. Sadd made a comment about their core having maturity issues and most felt he was taking a shot at Mack,you guys think JT sulks and has bad energy? Mack is a tyrant even in games he yells and his teammates and coaches and when your top 3 in the league maybe it slides but when you are part of the problem it comes across much differently. Honestly and I've said this before but guys like you who constantly post negative stuff should watch more out of town games, I know that you don't just based off some of the comments you make. We are far from perfect but there are a lot of teams even teams currently with better records who have far bigger issues. The Avs, leafs, Rangers, Vegas, Habs, just to name a few. I'm not saying we are going to turn things around and other teams won't but I would rather have elite goaltending and good 5on5 play over teams that are winning because of special teams. Over the long run special teams seem to balance out, teams that win are almost always good 5on5 with great goaltending. Besides we have way to much talent on the pp to not be at least middle of the pack and the pk should get better, it might be our weakness but it should improve once we get a few guys back and a few guys off who shouldn't be on there in the first place. I watch a lot of different teams actually. I wasn’t one of those people who had the Avs pegged as a #1 overall team. They simply lost too much last off-season IMO. I still don’t see how my point was negative at all. It’s simply reality. How does Colorado struggling have anything to do with the Canucks struggling? How does struggling less than another team mean our team is any better than they have actually been? One has nothing to do with the other. It’s a false equivalency solely designed to somehow suggest the Canucks struggles are not as bad as they have been. People here do it all the time. Green isn’t a bad coach because X coach is worse. Benning has made less mistakes than X GM so he must be awesome. Player X on the Canucks is great because Player Y on another team is garbage. Etc etc etc. Its a coping mechanism for people who don’t have the ability to look objectively at faults of their own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point was that it's still early on and things can change quickly. I fully expect the Avs to finish ahead of us by the end of the year, but we aren't the only team struggling. It is early on. Things can change for any team really. Another team struggling has nothing to do with why the Canucks are struggling and it doesn’t make the Canucks struggles any less significant. That was my point.

Oliver-Ekman Larsson after 12 games is on pace for 21 points. He is a +3 and eats 20-25 minutes a game. He has 42 shots, the most of anyone else on the team. The points will be coming soon if he keeps shooting like this. Conor Garland after 12 games is on pace for 75 points. He has the best +- on the team at +6 tied with Hughes. He makes any line he plays on better.
