Those who enjoy conspiracies like to think the NHL exerts some kind of control over the lottery system..........what better story than the next franchise player getting to come to his home town team? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could always argue that his bad example impressed itself upon the other players. They realized they could collect their contractual millions without actually trying that hard. (But that would be unfair to Eriksson and the other players.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F***ing joke. If trading Dickenson means giving up a 2nd round pick, imagine what's the price to pay when trading the likes of Pearson, Myers and Poolman.

UnkNuk Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 6 hours ago, Warhippy said: We are currently two 0-3 runs from essentially missing the playoffs as per last years metrics. We need to win at least 48 of the next 76 games to make the post season. This is SIX games in to the season with this math. If we lose say 6 more games with 14 wins in the next 20, we will be 14-10-2 with 30 points leaving us exactly 50 games to make 68 points to make the playoffs with a 98 point berth. This equates to something ridiculous like a .644 winning percentage IF we only lose 6 games in the next 20 while winning 14 outright I don't wanna do the pessimism thing, but that math is NOT positive or in the team's favour A nitpick question: if we have a 14-10-2 record, wouldn't that leave us with 56 games? Which would mean we would have to play with a .607 wp? But I think your overall point is a good one. It seems ridiculous but the Canucks are in danger of blowing their whole season within the first 20 to 25 games. (For that matter, I'm still spooked by that post that quoted the stat that said that no team that was winless in their first five or six starts ever made the playoffs.)

It’s like every time we sign an aging vet for any length of time. There’s a country club feel to Vancouver. I felt it with Eriksson, Schaller, Sutter, Pearson, Beagle, and now Miller, it’s like there’s something in the air that makes you want to kick your feet up and pat yourself of the back for accomplishing mediocrity. It’s more than just the nerves after signing a big contract, it’s an unwillingness to push hard. It’s a take it easy and relax city, there’s no hunger in a lot of our vets right now Dickinson is the perfect example of the West Coast Virus. He was brought in to be our 3rd line centre but he looked like Loui Eriksson out there. Then he get traded to the Blackhawks and miraculously he rediscovers his game. Look at Nick Dowd, I can go through many examples of players that have come and gone but when they come to Vancouver they treat their stay like it’s a vacation. It’s the Mark Messier virus.

Vent your frustration online if you must, talk with your friends, talk to other fans, there are so many avenues to discuss things and express frustration without taking it out on a person in person. Being a public figure doesn't green light you to be harassed, or it shouldn't. Ya I mean this forum board is literally for that. I’d hope the players don’t come on here when they aren’t playing well.

Maybe Yeo is one of those bad heel end of the loaf. We need to add player friendly coaches like Scott Walker. I think Hansen is that guy. Or Ryan Johnson. I was not thrilled by the Yeo signing but don't have the level of hate that King does Here is my thought on coaching If Bruce gets sacked before he coaches 82 games the Canucks will have fired 2 NHL coaches with a combined NHL wins total of over 1375 2 coaches that last between 4-6 seasons in all of their other stops Yet in Vancouver they get sacked within a year of being hired 2 coaches with 1375 combined wins but cannot outlast rookies Wonkie Willie and TGreen what does that say about our franchise?

We don't have a shut down C. Maybe if we can trade for that somehow, this season can be salvaged. What does "Salvaging this season" look like to you? squeaking into the playoffs and losing in 5? a 15-20 pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeback_Kings Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Seems unlikely they'll beat Carolina, still losing the first at home after 5 on the road to the Sabres, kind of understandable. money line pays 1.30 for the Canucks win, what's the Canucks all time record on Oct two four ?

Borderline Canuck Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Miller, Horvat, Mikheyev, that should be a good line. I've been impressed with Aman. He gets better every game. He's fast and defensively sound. Got room on that tall frame for another 10-20 lbs too. I'm impressed with Mikheyev too. There, my two bright spots on this under performing team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
