I never condone an intentional tank, but this team needs a re jig and they need to move some players out and might have to take a step back this year to take step forward in the next few years and if there's a year to take steps back, it's this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens too often. I think it is safe to say they might have talent but the team is what it is. The wrong mix of players. Fans are going to cling to what happened last year but a team that learned something wouldn't come in and be even worse than last year. They would have taken the lesson and done something. This team just doesn't have those players and the proof if the start yet again. How many times we going to do this? I could care less about what happened last year. It does nothing for the team this year. That’s fair to a point but given what we saw in terms of fighting back late last season, you’re kind of obligated to see if they could continue the trend this year. They still very well might BUT they’ve exhibited the same issues that have confounded this team in seasons past, that are not sufficiently overcome, and that only continue to put this team behind the 8 ball from the get go which inherently exacerbated every other problem that could be sheltered by some modicum of success. it’s a good group of players that as a collective don’t work well enough together to be considered a “team” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Someone paid for a jersey, with their own money. they own the jersey, they can do what they want. Entitlement, is telling those people, they are wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does get fired, he’ll likely retire after this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaramel MacKhiato Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Rutherford: "We will continue to try to add younger players"... - Doesn't trade Miller when his value was at an all-time high - Trades a 2nd with Dickinson Rutherford: "We want to Rebuild on the Fly"... - I'm so sick of hearing this. How has it been 7 years and this is still the mindset of managament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more "anti-Miller' right now, the way he/the team are playing. 28 minutes ago, JM_ said: you say obvious but one of the most experienced people in the game disagreed with you on Miller. Nobody is infallible. 28 minutes ago, JM_ said: we're missing a defensive specialist in the top 9. We don't have a shut down C. Maybe if we can trade for that somehow, this season can be salvaged. We need a lot more than a 3C. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Think it’s time we stack the lines up so Miller gets taken off Center duties. Maybe putting him on wing will get his confidence up.

Gurn Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) only 4 NTC/NMC on the team THIS season. Mikheyev -12 team no trade list Pearson -7 team no trade list for 22/2023 Myers -10 team no trade OEL NMC 3/4 could still be moved, without having the player waive his clause.

fecklund Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 13 minutes ago, JM_ said: maybe in the moment. No one says Miller is the perfect personality, but for me I like seeing passionate players. Sometimes that comes with a bit of negative, but I don't know how anyone could argue on balance Miller is bad for this team. Did you see the interview with Joe Pavelski last night?. That's how a winner talks. That guy is an outstanding hockey player and just "gets it". Conversely, a Miller interview is a cliche blender on high speed to the point where some things he says don't even make sense. Is medication the answer? The guy needs to CALM DOWN more than anything else. He comes off like a real spazz, and that's almost never good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 So whats the play here. The team is hot garbage. Last year they waited too long to do anything about it by the time they got the ship turned around it was too late to save the season. They need to send a message early here. We did not make the moves this offseason of a rebuilding team. To tank the season would be completely un acceptable from a mgmt standpoint.

Gurn Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 However- if they move Myers- or somehow OEL, who replaces all those minutes; at as high a level as those 2 still play? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is we move to a different kind of roster that isn’t as much dependent on skill to win but equally about pride, hard work, tenacity and guts. One thing a “Canuck” should not be is mentally weak. Embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 They had the balls to come up with merch that said unfinished business. If you want to give this organization the benefit of the doubt, I have a bridge to sell you. It's broken but I'm sure you'll buy it if I stick a Canucks sticker in the rubble.
