Probably. I’m not in his head, but then that means years and years more waiting for a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Same old same old... team wasn't ready to play. Boudreau talked about it after the game in AFTER HOURS... he's at a loss to explain it. Terrible game from Pettersson, Horvat and Garland... not a good line. Pettersson needs to have a recording on a loop beside his bed... the recording says: "Shoot the puck... shoot the puck.... shoot the puck... shoot the puck... shoot the puck.... shoot the puck." I would prefer to see Hoglander play than Petan... Hoglander is not great defensively and is prone to giveaways, but at least he's reasonably dynamic offensively. Miller also had a poor game... in fact, even the Motte line didn't play particularly well even though they got a goal. From my perspective the best balanced line combos are: Miller/Boeser/Garland Horvat/Pearson/Chiasson Pettersson/Podkolzin/Hoglander Motte/Lamikko/Highmore As far as defense goes, I'd like to see Noah Juulson get another chance. Hunt has more experience, but he is not going to develop any further. Juulson still has potential to develop and the upside if his play starts to improve would be a 6' 2'' 201 lb #6 D instead of a 5' 9" 177 lb #6.

SergioMomesso Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 We are by far the easiest team to play on a second half of a back to back in either situation. If it’s us or them. We seem to lose 80% of the time. That stat may be way off, but for some reason. It just feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to top it off I sat beside two absolutely HAMMERED guys, one of whom kept talking to at me and explaining that he was wearing red because he just came from golfing and then apologizing because he stunk. I told him he smelled like Calgary. By the end he was intolerable (started smack talking about how great the Flames were...he started off not knowing which side he was on. I asked him to name one Flame who'd scored and he couldn't). Idiot. I hate Drunks at games... they make me want to punch them out. Which can't be done for obvious reasons. This is one reason why I rarely go to games anymore... one episode with a drunk idiot behind me sending spittle flying over myself and my girlfriend and its enough to put me off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure played like they don’t want to be here. We can’t win every game, but geez don’t lose like that. Maybe this team is just staler than when a Benning came in and needs some of the key guys moved on and some new voices come in. If it is hard to get up for a Saturday night national game when your season is on the line, welcome to the doldrums of playing out a month of meaningless games until you are allowed to clean out your locker. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Bonnie should have shut down this home stand after the Habs game. She should have thought about public safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for that cr*p attitude around this team. That really pissed me off. Get him tf out. On the other hand during his short stint here, Spencer Martin played better than Halak ever did this season and was thankful for every minute of it. He played his heart out and was happy to do his best for the team when the time came for him. Was this moron Halak thinking he would not need to at least earn some of that paycheck he's been getting? What a tool. Edited March 20, 2022 by PetterssonOrPeterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Put it this way ... I can stomach a loss to the Flames (hate to say it) ... they're top of the division for a reason... but I can't stomach a loss to the Red Wings when we needed to win that game.

I tried to point out to one fan that he should probably want the Canucks to make the playoffs since the Flames haven't won a first round series against any team other than the Canucks since the 80s, but I think that was before the poor guy was born Edit: nevermind.

Giving another team 2 playoff tries with him, at his current salary, would be very tempting and the offer could be huge. Heart and soul, okay sure, but I didn't see any of that tonight. Build around Petey and Hughes, not around Miller. Yeah. Signing Miller to a long term deal probably doesn’t set the team up for excellence in the long term. We need young players, Ned a huge haul right now, and the only player that’ll get us that is Miller. I think Garland is gone before Monday. I think Brock’s probably gone as well. Miller maybe too. Just because there’s nothing being heard by the experts, doesn’t mean talk isn’t happening. JR and PA seems to run a very tight lipped ship. Rarely any rumors that we’re hearing, and all the media are fishing in terms of what they’re hearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxqhfeh Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sell, Thanks to JB, We Must and finally have to be sellers!, They cannot go 15-4, there is one contract and one player you can not win anything with them, If they could get a sixth round pick for OEL, they should take it.If they could get a bag of used practice pucks for Pettersson, they should take it!

Carolina, Pittsburgh, NYR, Washington, Colorado, St Louis, Toronto (but the deal will suck) still being buyers. I could easily see more than half of these teams just not buy and go with their current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely any rumors that we’re hearing, and all the media are fishing in terms of what they’re hearing. Good points. Agree completely. Miller is having a great season (despite the last two games). But whoever signs him after next year will certainly overpay and regret it. At age 28 turning 29 he is at his peak now and is likely to fade significantly during his next contract. If the Canucks were a good team likely to make the playoffs I would be inclined to keep Miller now and go for it. But the Canucks are not good enough to justify going for it. I think the best thing it to trade Miller when his value is high. If the Canucks are not sellers at the deadline, I will be disappointed in the new regime. They have a chance to get things moving in a positive direction. They won't get as much in return if they try to make deals after the season. And I hope they do something significant. If it is just Motte for a second or third round pick or something like that, I will be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunKay Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I’ll be going to the game tomorrow. I don’t even know what to expect. Not a STH but probably the 7th or 8th game of the year, this will likely be my last for the season. Sigh.. at least there’s beer.
