Hairy Kneel Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Our guys look like they're skating in quick sand and thinking at about the same speed. We don't have system yet, new players: Kuz Mik Josh Aman Add revamped line up today: Hughes Bear Studs Stillman Add very little secondary scoring. And sub par vets. New coaches: Yeo and Cull Then: cue the chaos out there. Edited November 2, 2022 by Hairy Kneel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is going to be safe. We’re you around in98 or so when Linden and Mckean got traded… ugh I was on suicide watch for months!! Lol but eventually all was good again! No, I came into the picture during the Sedin years, but I do know that regardless of how bad this feels right now there were definitely worse time periods for Canucks fans in their history, at one point being a phone call away from moving away from BC entirely, so I try to keep some perspective despite the emotions and frustrations I currently feel as a fan. I’m not completely opposed to trading Horvat, just don’t know if that’s the right move to send away the only guy who’s bringing it each and every game and what message that sends to all the rest of our players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just magically get skills for a year or so, then lose them. Goaltending is just as mental as physical. He is lacking confidence, as he should be considering the team playing in front of him. Any goalie past or present would not be winning a Vezna on this team. Don't ever forget how lucky we are to have him, cause most other teams would love to. Demko is definitely the least of our problems. He had surgery in the off season and hasn’t found his game yet this year, but he’s far too talented to go on like this for long. He will turn around sooner then later imo. Clark will definitely help too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t pretend to know either… every part of the game is brutal right now. I like Bo but he may be the biggest trade stick we have to change the team. It’s weird because I assumed we would be around playoff contention at the end of the year ( we still might) but it is not looking anything like that. I don’t even know where they would start with this mess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan-observer Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Thought Demko was not himself but just replayed the goals tonight - 3/4 he had little chance as they were passes across the crease for tap ins - I believe the 2nd goal at the end of the first would be on him because of the rebound. I really don't understand what has happened to this team defense this year.- it looks much worse that last year after December.. Can't kill penalties, shorthanded goals, poor D coverage for tap ins. Were these new coaches suppose to strengthen the structure - either the system sucks or the players are not implementing it - I don't think you can fire BB and the entire team so next option is to adjust your starting lineup and sit some of the struggling players. Also hope management does not play Santa and give players away please . - saw some articles about what some teams wanted to give for Horvat and pretty laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t tell a guys ceiling when he’s only 17 years old. What is clear by now though is barring catastrophic injury he will be a rare generational talent. How high he goes from there is up to him.

Your acting like mcdavid is the issue here. it's the fact he is playing in one of the worst if not the worst city to attract UFA's. look at the money they had to offer nurse to stay. Mcdavid is a victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Boston traded Ray Bourque to Colorado. Only difference is Ray meant way more to the Bruins organization the Bo does. Ray finally one a cup, and Boston reaped rewards after.

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'm surprised we haven't stuck 2 D on the PP despite so many SHGs, the powerplay looks a lot worse with Quinn healthy surprisingly. Meanwhile Bo has 8 goals in 10 games, this poor guy is doing everything he can and getting zero support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you blow it and end up with a bunch of guys needing to learn how to play with one another. 1970……………………….1982……………………………………1994……………………………………………………….2011…………………………………2022. Rinse repeat. That 1982 team completely fluked their way to the finals. Other than that run in 1982 the Canucks were atrocious throughout the 1970's and 1980's, never winning a single round in the playoffs for 22 years other than the magical run of 1982. The only thing that was able to change that was the arrival of Pat Quinn and the drafting of Trevor Linden and Pavel Bure. We went to the finals again with them. But that only lasted 4 years and we became average again. With Mike Keenan trading Linden we became relevant again and the West Coast Express arrived. Even then we only won 2 playoff rounds. It wasn't until the Sedins arrived that we had a powerhouse team that could go back to the finals. Even then it only lasted 4-5 years. So out of the 52 years of our existence, we have only really had a very good team for around 11 or 12 out of those 52 years. Pretty sad really. It doesn't pay well to be a Canucks fan that is for sure... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
