What happened to Stan Smyl. Remember his press conference last year about being tired of watching this team be too easy to play against.

 

Then JR got hired and I haven't heard or seen much since 

Stan Smyl has other things on his mind these days.  Leave him alone !

Not really?, was the reason we beat St Louis in 03, then the Canucks had the flu run through them and lost to the Wild. 

ok?

well, as of now, today, two players are confirmed to have the flu.

what you're saying can be true of course if more players are actually suffering from it. 

 

you can try to justify it all you want, but you're speculating at this point.

How about something that might be at least in a step in the right direction.

On the 26th get rid of Mike Yeo. And bring in a defensive coaching specialist.

The team last year wasn't this bad defensively. Yeo from what I've seen can't coach, and can't teach.

He's basically messing up our players. Get someone that will work with BB, not screw things up.

 

Then start making trades. Cut the team to the essentials. Then start over.

I’d say we miss Shaw but the Flyers are actually doing worse than us.  (I do think we miss Shaw.)

So are you, just speculating only 2 have it.

if you're playing a game of assumptions when its not been confirmed that others have the flu other than for Petey and Boeser, then it's a poor excuse. 

 

if multiple players indeed do have the flu bug plaguing them that's been confirmed, and its to the extent that you have to run to the bathroom to puke (like you mentioned), i could see it being fair of course because players would literally not be able to play. However, this is all just speculation other than the confirmed cases. 

It's definitely speculation on my part.  

 

But isn't that what we're all doing here while we're trying to figure out what's happening with the Canucks?  Especially in these last two games?

Honestly, if I were Bruce at this point, I'd stop even trying to coach the team because they're clearly uncoachable. Whatever systems they are attempting to implement aren't working, at all. Tell the guys to just go out there and do whatever the hell they want to do, have some fun, play pond hockey, and see what happens. It can't get any worse to watch than this.

Doesn’t really matter though, already a really horrible team

Except that we are a Jeckyl and Hyde team - our offense is GF 11th and PP 7th but GA 30th and PK 32%. So right we get to watch goals being scored by the Canucks, but also poor defensive plays. This is what's weird about our team, we're not bad in all areas - we're bad in the ones that lose games - GA and PK.
