Blame Boeser and Horvat, Pearson was the only one hustling tonight. Lazar at 1M can backcheck, Aman at 0.885...... Pearson was skating faster then usual tonight, but you don't pay a guy 3.25 to just back check..... He doesn't drive play at all, Motte at 1.35 does more at almost a third of the price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogs & Podz Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Unfortunately I'm both a Seahawks fan and canuck fan... Nucks being my first love.... So when the Hawks traded or waved the remaining legion of boom... I knew there would be a rebuild at some point but it was obvious that the team was and had been on the decline for a few years. Not a bad team but slowly sinking. That is depressing to watch your team deteriorate in front of your eyes. So I was at least happy seeing and focusing on this young and talented canuck team on the rise... Even if they took a while to be contenders, at least they're fun to watch and there's optimism. Where as the Hawks were going to take years to turn it around.... Right?! Here we are today.... The nucks look like something is really wrong with the core or something and may already be imploding... And the Hawks already have begun their rebuild with really exciting players and are getting better every week. With no pressure to win but are... And just getting better by the week. Had an epic draft this year!! Renewing sense of optimism. Guess what team I'm focusing on this year. Moral of the story.... Should have blown it up years ago and drafted well. So frustrated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re signing Miller made sense if we were going to push and challenge for a long playoff push and cup run. We'll all know damn this this isn't thr team that's going to do that. But I guess it was playoffs or bust. If we don't do that (it's early still) that contract is a giant anchor....but as Canucks fans we're used to that Playoffs for bust has gotten us where? I am tired of not trying to do it the right way. Spend to the max on players that are below average and trade picks for players that are just ok.

diesel_3 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Boeser's fly by on Kuznetsov that lead to the goal made me throw up in my mouth, totally inexcusable, at least get in his way a LITTLE bit. What value does Boeser actually have now? Slow-mo .gifs of hockey hair for the social media team? anything else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him and Buble can be joint owners and with them being true fans at the helm, they might see it clearly the problems we have and address it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even with him, this team is short of a Top4 RHD; this is no surprise! Hamonic screwed us over last year. Our only savings grace is that Schenn overplayed and saved our ass. We can’t expect that out of him again; he’s just a really good 5/6 dman. Hughes is a top pairing dman, when he is able to play sheltered minutes with the right partner. Not a big deal, we just need to manage that. He is not Makar. OEL is a great 2nd pairing guy. Though Myers is not his perfect match, they are functional together and ate a ton of tough minutes last year. the rest of the guys are 7-8 dmen on a competent team. Allvin and JR need to get off their asses and do what they said was a priority; fix the D! Signing and trading for a bunch of 7-8th dmen is not fixing….just wastes money and time. Go out and make a bloody trade for a top 4 dman! Beoser, 1st, Karlsson for chychrun If I was Arizona I wouldn't accept that trade Myers can skate, hit, clear the net, but boy does he have always have "what are you doing " moments Just like Miller, Myers at 6M needs to come off the books 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulCap Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 2 minutes ago, J-23 said: This team has no girt and heart. No Burr, Kes, Juice type of players. Just a group of guys making lazy plays and giving up, feeling sorry for themselves. Garland really works hard, not a lot of other really grit types. They'd benefit from an ohlund type, no nonsense d man who can shot when needed. Hughes has talent but he backs off too much on the defensive end. Need more grit on the forecheck, there were glimpses but the caps are really slow and a bad measuring stick. I think its not too early to move some skilled guys for grit. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you wanna pay him less but he's been doing exactly what Horvat should be doing. Defending a teammate? Pearson did it, Horvat didn't. Backchecking? Pearson does it, Horvat doesn't.

Blue Jay 22 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I love Bruce, but it’s inexcusable to play Borroughs 24 mins a game. He is not THAT Dman….should be playing half that at best. That blue line is predictably a problem. Everyone including the opposition saw this coming. Stillman, Juulsen, and Borroughs all playing at the same time is scary. You could trick someone into thinking that’s our AHL defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_theRyper Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I think management goes all in and trades the 1st plus for Chykrun or some other quality D. If that doesn't fix it welcome to cap hell stuck with some big contracts.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
