Hah yeah I'd do the same if I had a virt jersey. I'd never throw a sedin jersey on the ice. 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.

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.

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...

Fans are fed up after a decade of poor decisions from our GMs.

 

I'm not surprised jerseys are being tossed after we just committed several more years to mediocrity.

Many teams fell in this category, i.e. Buffalo. And while we heard them bitch about their team, they still showed up to support them. There is no excuse.

 

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Last management got what 9 seasons? I'll give these guys 2. It's arbitrary, but it works for me.

Why? What will it do? More fighting between those who think it was justified and those who think it was a classless temper tantrum. 

 

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.

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

There will still be fans that show up and support the team no matter what.

 

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.

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.

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.
