Got some good young talent and sh*t the bed for a year or two, draft Bedard and boom, gonna be better than the canucks in 3 years because this team continues to tread in mediocre land by being not bad enough to be a lottery team but not good enough to make the playoffs. I was at the Leafs / Ducks game in Toronto Tuesday night and the Ducks have some nice young players in McTavish and Terry but looked like a bottom 5 team for sure and got smoked 5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanking means trading everyone and playing AHL'ers which isn't going to happen. Sorry I'm a realist. We won't be tanking. Expect a 10-15 overall pick. Thats probably right. But maybe we can get creative. I know everyone thinks OEL and Myers are the worst. But lets imagine the team without both of them. We could get rid of both of them and replace them with AHL guys. That might put us in Bedard territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it seems a lot of teams are stealth tanking and can you blame them cause this draft is loaded. Really baffling, that the Canucks still have a shot at a WC - smh Edited December 18, 2022 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats what they want. They will be better than the Canucks, Flames and Flyers in 3 short years. Potentially WAY better 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that guy run the team. I got a kick out of Allvin asking Cuthbert who leaked the info about Boeser's agent being allowed to look for a deal for his client because it didn't come from him! Or any body else within Canuck management to his knowledge. Back in the Gillis days, people used to speculate that one of the idiot brothers like Roberto used to leak info to somebody in the media back east. Info that could only have been leaked during meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) I think it says a lot when the players think they play really good hockey away from Rogers according to Hughes. They win more but is it really good hockey? The defense is still awful. They have had to out score their problems all year. The standards are just so low on this team. It's very frustrating to hear how they think they play really good. They play well enough to just get by but they think that's really good. I don't think so.

But shot blocking is a huge part of shot suppression, especially on PK where you are expected to be out of position from time to time just because the other team's best players are making world class plays and the only option you have is to make the last ditch effort. OEL doesn't do that part well. Maybe we should have shown interest in Rick Bowness as head coach before he got this old. He and AV have stood the test of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're so bad but ownership/management have this false hope because we're so close to WC. I am in no way a Leafs fan but I was impressed with their defensive structure eventhough not a lot of big name dmen. What a difference than watching opposed to Vancouver.
