I wish he would stop tweeting.

He should tweet asking in a poll who is our next GM!!! Give us 4 options and go from there that would be so fun! Then the fans can't blame on AQ or management!

100% agree with keeping Shaw and obviously Clark.
But King? He's a water boy like Dumbgardener. 

 

King might develope under Boudreau ?

Agreed. His PP prowess leaves a lot to be desired. He'll probably be canned soon enough

I hope we pylon him. 

Use our speed on him. 

I have this weird feeling he is going to smoke someone with a big hit.

 

Don't know why. I liked Eddy and all, just a feeling.

Maybe Schenn can prevent that by slamming Edler into the boards.

[ShawnAntoski]

Really stoke to see the roster, under Boudreau.  Probably, take a few games to get acclimated.

[Dr. Crossbar]

Excellent interview with Boudreau from 11 days ago. A must listen.

 

Canucks talk starts at 21:01.

Interesting, you think maybe Boudreau will expect more leadership from Bo? 

 

 

D depth (from best to least best):

 

OEL

Hughes

Hamonic

Myers

Schenn

Burroughs

Rathbone

 

Poolman should not be in the lineup.

Think about it would you prefer Stecher to Poolman ?

Rathbone needs to be called back up and play on the bottom Pairing. Yes, he made some mistakes, but he was overall fun to watch and moves the puck well. Schenn or Burroughs can sub in in games they want more D.

 

Unfortunately with antivax Hamonics shenanigan's, Poolman was forced to play top/2nd pairing minutes for > a month. He is not that guy, and you could see his play drop off accordingly. Now that Hamonic can actually travel, let's see:

 

OEL-Myers

Hughes-Hamonic

Rathbone-Poolman

 

Schenn/Burroughs-Schenn

Poolman in a complimentary role. He is NOT a 1st/2nd pairing Dman

Schenn would be putting himself pretty far out of position.

My guess....Shaw takes over for Baum & PK; Boudreau gets heavily involved in PP. Kings days are numbered....Bruce probably just didn't ahve a guy 100% in mind for that role

Rathbone and Lockwood are both progressing in the A. Do you really want to mess with that ?

If I hear the word "develop" one more time w/re: to our NHL bench, I'm gonna hurt someone.

Yes; if he sees NHL minutes vs the press box. IF Rathbone wasn't ready, we should have kept Joulevi. He beat him out in camp was my take

I like the looks of that.

Your probably right. He has a snarly side and he's solid. But he doesn't fight so there's that.

I would guess that he was probably "hired" a few days ago and was given some time to really put together a plan for the team, so that he could hit the ground running. 

 

I'm assuming that they would have had a practice yesterday, likely with him running it.

rumour has it the Canucks got wind of the AV firing and jumped at Boudreau before he signed in Philla

Semantics.
I'm just tired of hearing it and tired of seeing it.
How many thousands of times did Green use that term when talking about this team?
This is THE NHL. You don't "----d word---" players at this level. It's the highest level of hockey in the world. If you've gotten here, all you need is tweaking and making adjustments where needed.
We have a team just an hour down the road that's dedicated to "-----d word----"
Keep the guys that are ready and capable of winning, send everyone else not ready - down.
Just my 2 bits.
