Canuck4digits Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The bar has been so lowered for the Canucks that a losing a “close” game is somehow a “great effort” what ever happened to winning is what matters? difference between a winning culture and a losing culture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will make the playoffs and be competitive. Interesting though. Barzal at 0.5 pts per game and losing record. and it’s a team that’s looked very good especially in playoffs with probably bigger expectations then our team. I think statistically they are in for it tough for the remainder of the year to make it though no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less about the effort. A loss is a loss and it’s getting us nowhere fast. Hopefully we get a new gm and coach. We need a plan. A vision of where this team needs to go. I want grittier, tougher players. I am not sure why Benning wanted such a soft team but it makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Bo need to fight to be a captain? Did Linden ever drop the gloves? Bo has dropped the gloves and won more fights in one year then Linden did in his entire career. Linden was taunted and embarrassed many times for refusing to fight. Let’s not even talk about our Swedish captains from the past. I don’t recall Gretzky, Yzerman, Lemieux, Sakic, Toews, Stamkos, McDavid, Landeskog ever having to drop the gloves. They usually had of have guys that did or do that for them. Crosby drops the gloves about once every few years. Same with Ovechkin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to drop them but you join the scrum to keep your guy from getting mobbed. Taking a glance and skating away is a symptom of this team's lack of cohesiveness. Can't think of any serious playoff contending team that would do that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody on your list except Mcdavid has dropped them at least once, usually more. None of them were brawlers but they would drop if they had to, even Gretzky answered the bell. Got creamed for it, but he answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
