Popular Post GB5 Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 If only this team actually did a rebuild. Instead we hear Rutherford last night rehashing the same "rebuild on the fly" nonsense that was being said 8 years ago. I think it is ok to be frustrated after 5 decades of no championships and having new management be given an opportunity to move Miller and Boeser but instead choose to double down on GMJB's team. I would never throw a jersey and support the hard working players who show some pride in the outcome. I don't like floaters and hate seeing history repat itself. Canucks history is on in which they seem content on just making the playoffs but never actually winning them. 1 1 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do think and hope that person regrets it. But I also get it, the frustration is palpable right now. The new regime came in and it felt like there was some hope for some changes but it's been a lot of the same same. It's disappointing. That is the fault of the media, as well as the fanbase. Insanity is repeating the same things over and over. The fact that the defense was criticized for so many years as being terrible, yet nothing changes. In fact, much of the roster has not changed. Were we a stanley cup contender last year? I really don't understand why so little was done to fix this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks history is on in which they seem content on just making the playoffs but never actually winning them. Truly sad. We all know that the rebuild on the fly strategy doesn't actually work, particularly if the team wasn't good the year before. I knew full well that re-signing Miller would not be a good one because of the cap implications. We are so freaking locked right now. Any cap space that was freed this year is now gone. Great cap management there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says that three jerseys were thrown. Gross. We have to call out the toxicity of this fanbase.

chon derry Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) 20,000 other fans never threw stuff on the ice 2 did. This isn’t representative of the fanbase and for anybody worried about how it looks from other areas pfff. Who cares what they think. When it happened in TO or edm , haven’t been to TO but have gone to edm. And having lived in van twice it hasn’t changed my option at all. I love van. I just wouldn’t live there because of expense and lineups. Larger centers. some ppl will do things to bring attention to them selfs or if their that radical. Either way they brought attention to them self’s and that’s what they wanted. I can’t be bothered with immature mullet wearing city hillbilly’s that do stuff like this , Canucks have bigger problems to worry about Edited October 23, 2022 by chon derry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why so little was done to fix this team. I think it's more, a lot of fans were extremely frustrated with the old management and felt that any change brought hope and let some fresh air in the room. As time has gone on and we've seen them simply continue the plan from last season with a few minor tweaks, most of us are expressing frustration. For me personally, I've always intended to give the new management at least 2 full seasons before judging their "plan", but early returns here are not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, if changes were actually made, then patience is perhaps warranted to give them '2 full seasons' or whatever fair measure stick you call it. The problem was that so little was actually done that this measuring stick is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The organization only seems to listen when jerseys are thrown on the ice. Seriously though, everyone is tired of the losing culture and the organization refusing to properly build a team. We keep hearing retool on the fly. It doesn't work unless you have assets which this organization doesn't have. That's why rebuilding is the only way. We don't have the assets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Throwing the Canuck jersey on the ice shows disrespect towards the great players that were proud to wear it. It also shows an immaturity and lack of impulse control in the 'fan' that throws it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's arbitrary, but it works for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sports, it's the modern colleseum and it's hockey in Canada; fans are rabid, emotional, drinking. Some will be idiots, make a bad choice, get their little moment and then we'll all move on.

Popular Post Jester13 Posted October 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 Reports are there were four our five jerseys tossed. I'm fine with it. It's part of hockey when your team is what it is for so long. The guys need a wakeup, or a shakeup. 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Funny how if you're a good team and winning, this sht doesn't happen eh? I hope more jerseys are thrown on the ice if they do the same thing again Monday. Some of y'all really care more about the 2.5 hours of entertainment you get 82 times a year than the actual state of the hockey team and it shows. s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that this fanbase is incredibly toxic, but I don't think jerseys tosses are the worst thing in the world. Sometimes you need things like this for the people in charge to realize that we can't continue down this path and expect success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's anything wrong with a rebuild on the fly, if you have the guts to make the moves that need to be made. Tearing it right down rarely works, most teams rebuild on the fly. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrsil Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) To think that Trevor Linden was actually right. JB failed, i get it, but we need to stop with the blame game and do something to stop the bleed or it'll be too late again. This is probably the most embarrassing start I've ever had to witness as a die hard canucks fan, but I think it's even more embarrassing as a fan base to throw a jersey on the ice after only 6 games. I get it. Go kick a firehydrant or a garbage can. Don't throw the $300 sedin jersey on the ice. 4 jerseys on the ice though? That kind of anger from the fans, misguided though it is, hopefully wakes up the management to the fact that they cannot continue to ice this defense, hoping that THIS time things be different. Pure insanity. The whole thing is embarrassing. The ownership should be embarrassed, the management, the players. Hell us fans are too! Our record setting pace to start the year is another embarrassment in a long string. The players clearly learned nothing. They need a major shake up. Not coaches, as we've already done it before, but at the player level. Petey, Hughes and Demko are your core. Everyone else should be fair game, now that you've hit rock bottom. Fix this ship, and right the course, damn it. I'm tired of it. But to throw a jersey on the ice, is truly deplorable.
