There’s always hope. But Benning and Green need to go. Enough is enough 3 hours ago, Zhukini said: How many times has the St. Louis season been done in history. Stop bringing that up. It's the outlier, not the norm. The Canucks are done. 3 hours ago, NewbieCanuckFan said: Alex Pietrangelo Jay Bouwmeester Colton Parayko Carl Gunnarsson Robert Bortuzzo Kevin Shattenkirk ****looks at Canucks blueline***** - yeah I see the similiarities. Exactly. We aren't the Blues, the Blues were always expected to do more and underperformed, our defensive core isn't even the shadow of the core the Blues possessed at the time. It ain't happening, we're done. Hoping for a Blues styl turnaround is like betting on your team squeaking in and going on an LA Kings style run, it's extremely unlikely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad - I did look through recent topics, but either missed yours ar didn't go down far enough, so yes Mods can nuke this! (P.S. when we hit 0% chance of making the playoffs and the season is officially "Dead" in a couple of weeks (assuming green & benning are still here), will you start the "Condolences, Tributes & Wake post" or do you want me to?)

Developing a knack for the tough stuff. Especially in the playoffs. Where Tanev and Stecher got pushed off the puck so easily. Playoffs are a different brand of hockey. But Tryamkin didn’t want to play the tough guy. That was a major problem and another reason why he wouldn’t sign… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost broke Pirri in half causing the dux to over react. Was our hits leader while he was here. Now nobody hits. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaro ss Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 This kinda reminds me of the Ron Wilson Burke situation in Toronto. Burke would not fire Wilson even know they needed a change. Burke was shown the door I think after that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 3 hours ago, Taphouse Canuck said: Right now there seems little point hiring a new manager or coach. I don't see how any combination could turn this team round mid-season, it's a long term project. Beyond that it's hard to see how we could attract any top players here considering we have achieved nothing and are nowhere near being a contender in the future, we are right up against the salary cap so we can't offer ridiculous contracts, which probably means the only way up is with good drafting. This road trip could well decide where we pick in the '22 draft. We have three games that on paper we will probably lose (Pittsburgh, Columbus, Boston) and two games against teams below us (Habs and Sens) which on paper we should win. I didn't think we could lose to the Hawks but we did, so I am not hopeful that we can necessarily beat MTL or OTT. Could it be tank time already? Rash moves aren't wise but in this situation waiting until the off season is too long. Get a solid plan and move forward. Get it over with, waiting in this case, as far a getting a GM is crucial..

Give him the authority to review where we are. I can't recal who but there was mention of Mike Forde being consulted. I just hope FA has the sense to listen. This guy has been described as a king maker. Quote Mike Forde is one of the world’s leading authorities on elite talent and high performance, having worked in professional sports since 1998. Mike has a rich background and experience in creating ‘game changing’ methodologies around management of world class, multi-cultural talent. His work in pioneering new practices in elite sports world have become a benchmark for leading teams across the globe. Mike is the go to expert for some of the great sports leaders from the world of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and European Soccer.

It's a mess throughout the entire organization. We got OEL with salary retained. He has played solid. We would be talking about the draft before the season started without OEL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this Green devotion has me flummoxed. I really think JB will sink himself tied to this coach. It looks like self sabotage? Or maybe the players lifted the ban on Fortnite and are preoccupied with playing games instead of hockey, now that they are paid well and distracted by wealth and just have fun They look like they have lost their pride, drive and commitment (they tried for 2 periods last game) Penguins played Jets tonight, come out hard again The schedule has helped us recently, but the results won't concur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our PK was sent to ARI lol...that exchange ... it's kind of ironic it's possibly killed both JB and TG tenure with our team. Even with an average PK we'd probably be .500, a good one above it.

Might as well smoke a couple packs a day unfiltered too - nothing can take foothold with those sorts of toxins floating around the body, Trump told me so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
