He’s allowed to have bad games and bad goals without criticism. He’s literally the only player allowed it. I'd say 3 games, but it's not all his fault, but he looked rusty in preseason too. He's really good but he often let's a softie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So critique them or at least acknowledge them? Which one? It's not a binary thing. I'm happy JT Miller scored. I'm not happy he's on the ice for nearly every goal against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs a unifier on the roster, a guy who bleeds for the team, has the raccoon eyes to show for it, and the points when necessary. Like a Bobby Clarke or Gary Roberts or Jeremy Roenick. Unfortunately, that breed has died out in Vancouver, so crap hockey is all we can expect until the softies on the team are moved for whatever heart other teams are willing to move our way. There is a core. It's the main group of players you build around. The kind of players where their departure represents a dramatic shakeup for the team. If Tanner Pearson or Travis Dermott or Spencer Martin are switched out it doesn't represent a significant change to the structure of the team. You move Hughes, Pettersson or Demko for example, its a massive shakeup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Right now it’s a piece of shit team play. Piece of shit PP. Piece of shit Defending. Piece of shit effort. But, don’t be a piece of shit fan for losing your faith after 3 games. The team needs to trade for Defence. That’s a known. Until that. Keep your support going. Our collective support is what binds us together. It keeps us as ‘us’. ‘Keep it together’ boys and girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re lucky to have him. Edited October 18, 2022 by Sharpshooter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need work through that video game backlog anyways. Elden Ring awaits for me. It’s so damn hard and stressful that I’ve been avoiding it but it’s also absolutely amazing. I should start skipping the broadcasts and just get good at it with all the extra time I’ll have, and then watch game highlights after the fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Lord and Baby Jesus Christ, there’s some scrutiny that needs to be said from the fanbase and the team itself about this current team. But why lose heart’? Just us fans talking. Are we going to be so fickle and without ‘heart’ for the team that we either were born with, grew up with, immigrated into, and sadly, died with? We definitely have questions and deserve answers and change. But, we also need to be steadfast in our unity as ‘Canucks United’. Good or bad. Thick or thin. That’s just us.

lmm Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 2 hours ago, amplified0ne said: Throw a bunch of money at Trotz. Its bad for Boudreau that management wants to change his style of coaching, not sure Trent Cull earned anything. If he's not your guy then just cut Boudreau loose and hire your guy but yeah its affected Bruce he doesnt seem himself this year. Here is the thing though, Who on this team is remotely capable of playing Trotz's system? Trotz will just become Torts 2.0 (without the yelling and hallway brawling) because no one on this roster is able or willing to play defense But I agree about Cull and what about Yeo? 2 hours ago, Dr. Crossbar said: Rather than changing the coach, this time change the players. But we did change 1/2 the coaches over the summer this team does everything backwards and even when it almost works out, like last years push it still comes back and bites us. Boudreau was hired before Rutherford who then hired Alvin they said the right things... Rutherford was OK with Bruce, yada But Bruce also brought in Scott Walker, a really under-appreciated part of last years team, before Rutherford was hired and then there was Brad Shaw, who some saw as Green's heir apparent And there was Kyle Gustavson, nobody really knew what he did, but they played well when he was part of Bruce's team Remember when people were happy that Wonkie Willie got to run out his contract, because 'at least we aren't like the Oilers, changing coaches every year'? With the exception of Ian Clarke and Jason King (how did he escape all the firings?) the Canucks have rolled over their entire staff twice in 6 months It kind of reminds me about how the Canucks fired Mike Sullivan and kept Glen Gulutzan when they fired Torts. NO one seems to notice that the guy they fired went on to win 2 Stanley Cups and Dorrie, what can we say about Dorrie? BUt I look at the coaching staff right now and I ask, what do they each bring to the table? who is in charge of the PP? and who is in charge of the PK? and who has replaced whatever it was that Scott Walker brought? It seems to me, after the coaching change that we started to see the value of Brad Shaw, who has replaced that? What they have done, is tinker with what modicum of success they did generate last season 2 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: What is with Horvat and Boeser's demeanor out there? Boeser is doing fly-bys, Horvat doesn't want to hurt a fly out on the ice. Washington scored 4 even strength goals tonight and Horvat's line was on for the first three. Embarassing. I'm not including Pearson in this because he was actually the one saving grace of that line the entire night. Maybe what you see is what you get. Horvat is good at winning faceoffs, but he is not a Selke candidate, and he barely has more assists than goals and he thinks he is worth more $ than he is and he is the captain, for better or worse, and he had a rough negotiation last time as well and what if he is telling 1/2 the truth when he says, "We love Vancouver, my wife loves Vancouver" what if his wife does love Vancouver, but every time he negotiates a contract, he loves Vancouver a little less? And Boeser has had a lot of injuries, but he is and always has been paid for potential he has never had a 30 goal season, but his pay keeps rising based on that potential he showed in the first 2 seasons and even then he was amassing injuries I can't even recall if he was fast when he was a rookie, because the back injury killed whatever speed he may have possessed add to that multiple hand injuries and one more thing, that no one is talking about, when was the last time Quinn Hughes was anywhere near the net, when a goal gets scored against him? He is not getting outmuscled for goals because he is nowhere near the net when the goal goes in look at the Sheehan goal tonight for an example OEL and Stillman should be the LD PK guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
