It’s just total speculation but I have a hunch we’d be a better team if we traded both Bo (too passive) and Miller (too sulky), two of the main leaders on this team, for some young roster players and prospects. Change the vibe in the room and start coming together as a team. I could be way off base and I’m sure I’ll hear all about it lol. No trade Miller for Severson++ extend Bo keep him captain, move one of Boeser/Garland, and then Myers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually remember seeing when a Captain does lead his team by example, and they followed. I have also seen where a Captain never hits, never sticks up for his fellow players and doesn't give 110% every night too. One of the rare times that a single player, goes on his own? Kessler going "Beast Mode" in 2011. Who did that before him? Linden in game 7 of the SCF in 94. No, I think the Captain IS A TEAMS ISSUE. Bo carried the team in the playoffs, captain is not this teams issue. Next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the hits you described were clean hits. No need to fight after those, fights after clean hits are pathetic. Petey getting lifted up and then body slammed to the ice was a "Clean hit"? Yeah OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really knows!? All I know is the status quo is definitely not working. Something big needs to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chon derry Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 19 minutes ago, EdgarM said: This has been Bo's team for a long time. Do know if Schenn and Bo are on the same page? Maybe you can explain why the team does not play a full 60 minutes or doesn't stick up for their players then? It might have something to do with the second highest penalty minutes as it stands now and not wanting to be on the pk forever. 217 pm in 16 games TEAMGPPMMAJMIN Anaheim 15 229 7 72 Vancouver 16 217 13 61 Minnesota 15 216 8 68 Montreal 15 199 5 57 Boston 16 194 8 67 Philadelphia 15 193 11 59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see a team more like Vegas's first year where work ethic was built into their DNA. No excuses, no taking a night off. The old days where the Canucks were labelled "Plumbers" were far more entertaining to watch and to love and adore. These entitled prima donnas are just painful to watch and are getting less and less entertaining. Time for a change, any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything that just exposed Matheson. As a pathetic joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Does anyone think that if the team got a few lucky bounces to start the year and came out of the gates say 3-2 on that season opening road trip, that they would have come home with enough confidence to avoid having the season collapse the way it has? Those multiple multi goal lead collapses must have been really disheartening. I know this isn’t a perfect team by any means but I feel like if they were all happy and confident we’d be right in the playoff hunt. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto had 17 shots in the second period and scored 3 goals on Martin. So it’s not just Demko. What teams are giving up 17 shots in one period? Teams with good defensive structure do not give up 17 shots in one period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 No severson. Stop suggesting myers 2.0! The man got scratched during the Devils current Win streak. If he's a bum on a current top team... What does that tell ya once he joins us on yet another long term retirement deal that we cannot move! Also before anyone suggests it also... No to Paryako. Blues fans HATE him. He's been their version of Myers and he's still got 8 years lmao. Its time we evolve from these type of guys vet support pieces don't fit a team that needs to fix literally everything 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with what we were left with from Benning this team needed absolutely everything to go right to finish 3rd in division or in the wild card spot. And so far very little has gone right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's probably because they came out swinging and toned it down to 35% as the game wore on haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
