There were three other players at the podium. A genuine heartfelt question could have been asked in private. Wrong place, wrong time, IMO. Totally agree. None of our business unless Brock wants to share. And even then it’s not the right setting for that kind of stuff. It’s the year end, and talking about hockey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the format to ask the question though. That’s a topic for a one on one taped interview, where there can be editing, and Brock can be prepared. That was way too raw.

I'd have to ask brock to know how he feels about it. you can be very emotional and also still be totally ok with the question. it would have been pretty easy to say nothing after quinn (awesomely, btw -- you can tell how much these guys care about each other by how quinn and pete both completely ignored the next question and had all of their concern focused on brock) said "next question".

Jaimito Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Should be an interesting offseason for sure. Lot of pieces to address, from coaches to players, new front office, injuries that may need surgery etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 top priority for this team is keeping the core together. 53, 40, 43, 35, 9, and 6. not finding a way by subtracting around the periphery will be as damaging as letting tanev (and marky and toffoli and stech) go. I hear dorion is desperate for veterans, is interested in spending, and has his eye on a top 4 d. I like myers, but that $6 mil could be allocated more efficiently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Quinn is becoming a leader of the younger group. He sure is competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberries Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Just saw the clip. Hughes looked like he wanted to murder Kuzma. Unbelievable. My heart breaks for Boes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Pettersson and Miller, very competitive. They want to win, wherever that may be, so I hope JR/PA do this right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 6 hours ago, Muttley said: No doubt this group thinks very highly of Mr. Boudreau! true- but we should remember Travis Green was re-signed because the player gave glowing exit interviews about Travis-at least JB said so. Hope Bruce is back, heck of a coach, but anything said to the media, by anyone, should be examined for intent. A lot of what is said is just babble to fill air time, and story content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Really hope they bring Chiasson back. Very underrated this year, able to play up and down the lineup, uses his size well, good in front of the net. Thinking a couple of years, once Pettersson, Hughes, Dermott, Hoglander, Podkolzin and Lockwood grow and develop. VAN's going to have a real good team. They do need to clear some cap, and I have a feeling how they'll do that. With playoffs about to begin, I can't wait to see the new and improved Canucks matched up in a Round 1 situation in 2023. I think OEL and Garland might cry with joy, just to get in. Next year. Edited May 2, 2022 by NUCKER67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even IF they're not producing at a level we'd like, take it easy/ier on them...we don't know what others are going through behind the scenes. I feel for Brock...watching a loved one slip away (mentally) is the most difficult thing ever. Especially when you DO still have to function and show up for work. May there be lessons learned here.... I love Brock and think he is one of the cornerstones here. I am sure he can score 40 goals. They don't grow on trees. We need him, he will help us with success. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly can still play at a high level and fits very well on any of our lines. And he’s big. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hockeyville88 Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 Really felt for Brock today. It’s been pretty obvious in all the photos he has been posting of his dad throughout the course of the season that Duke has not been doing well, and we know how close he is to his family, so I’m sure it has been weighing on him all season long. Clearly the team is very closely knit. You could see the obvious emotion on Petey and Hughes as well. Wishing the best for the Boeser family 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
