He needs to go and they need to bring in a coach who will be with this team for awhile Agreed, but who wants to come to this mess of a market right now? I bet our options on quality coaching is slim.

No reason a woman can't implement a structure just as well as a man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a coach who knows how to win, has had success in the regular season, brings a winning culture, and is one of the most experienced and respected people in the game. Bruce was the right coach without a doubt. His age doesn’t mean shit, football and NBA coaches coach well past their 70’s, if they still have enough left in the tank. So if you’re using age as the reason, that’s not a viable reason. The structure is not the problem here. Bruce’s teams in the past were ALWAYS top 10 in scoring and top 10 in GA. Unfortunately, when you have leaders who are passive bent passengers with no drive like your boy Horvat, Miller, Boeser, OEL, Myers, coupled with borderline questionable defensive players, with $0 cap space, you will find that no amount of structure or experience will be able to fix what is clearly rotten in that group of players. And how’s he doing? He was never going to be the coach past this year, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize that we are not there yet, and act on it. Anaheim was near the top of the league the first 30 games last season I think, and they ended up being huge sellers at TDL. Now that's action. Well I'm a pretty hopeful fan and if I'm at the point where I say start trading, my guess is that the brass is on the samepage. I was the same guy that was upset at Allvins initial comments last year and urged them to give the team a chance before blowing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard playing in a Canadian market. Lots of players have a hard time with the pressure of it all. I think a lot of that comes down to goaltending……..first with a diminished Demko and now with Martina as the starter. The second Demko went down, this team was done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I haven't necessarily bought a lot of what JR has said since he arrived (like expect big changes if things don't turn around then do absolutely nothing for example) but one thing he was 100% on the money was this team was relying on Demko way too much and that wasn't sustainable. Now that Demko isn't available all the warts are completely exposed. No knock on Martin, he's not the problem, but he's not the solution either. The issues with this club go far beyond the 'mix' of players like JR has suggested. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko, is a franchise goalie but all he was doing, was helping the team rise to the middle or NHL Purgatory; and I hope they don't rush him this year, to heal up for next years rise to the middle or mediocrity cause one "win now" type player will not fix the problem(s) vs a top 5 pick. Preferably, the team drops to the top 5, of this draft cause that is where the players are, that are really going to help this team and also, give fans something for the future.

I hope he takes bulk of the season off and come back when he's fully ready. And even then, we should just ease him into games instead of playing every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling, that the Canucks are still close to a WC spot and like an addict - Aquaman will chase. Imo, a lot of teams are stealth tanking for a chance, to draft a difference maker cause the flat cap will be here for awhile - despite Ratmans' words Edited December 20, 2022 by ShawnAntoski 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see my team in the playoffs……..I’m fine if they finish low in the standings, but it’s pathetic to cheer for that 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
