Popular Post ilduce39 Posted December 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2022 2 minutes ago, mordekai said: That’s because OEL is the whipping DAWG even though advance stats and eye test says Schenn n Dermott pair was the worst and they didn’t even play against their top lines Our fanbase / media loves to do this to certain players. A guy, usually well paid but we’ve seen it happen to others, will get off to a rough start and then for the rest of the season every time they make a mistake everyone vocally complains about it. Then the think tank decides the guy needs to be traded/press box/demoted and when it doesn’t happen they get even angrier. Even if there are no big mistakes, J Pat or some c-list reporters like “Stan the hockey guy” or whatever their name is will dig up a cherry picked stat for some easy engagement. Then some other nerd will put a mistake to some funny music and put it on a loop and another will make a meme. Then Wyatt will give him a stupid nickname like “giveaway Joe” and poof we have Vancouver sports fandom. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They win ten straight against good teams then maybe. This team gave me false hope the last 2 seasons, and I will not have high hope until they make some significant changes to the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third string goalie is here filling a big hole while Demko is out - yelling at the guy in public and smashing his stick over the net is not a good team move, no matter what the score is and no matter how much you hate losing. Been watching for a long time, seen some pretty good players, on both Canucks and the other teams, I dont recall ever seeing anything like that during a game. Imagine if an opposing player did something like that. Maybe its not a big deal, but there are a number of things adding up that give me a bad feeling about Miller. I dont hate the guy, I just dont think hes the right fit for the long term. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 And heaven forbid if the whipping boy likes a conservative tweet or leaves Hughes hanging on a hi five or something. Then we’d get a song about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 11 minutes ago, ilduce39 said: I just don’t see the point in posting shots when we gave up 4 goals. Myers/OEL took it on the chin against the Scheifele line on a few shifts but a lot of the shots didn’t seem particularly dangerous. Bear, who has been overall very good for us, had a rough game with the penalties / penalty shot and the PK, as usual, was abysmal. The whole team went to sleep in the 2nd and didn’t have enough push in the 3rd. Just the usual lazy “bluuugh OEL and Myers bad” take that gets trotted out every game even when they weren’t the reasons any goals were given up. The 2nd was awful. Not to take too much away from that awfulness (cuz that 2nd was all their own mess), but officiating didn't help much either. BS that Schiefele doesn't get 2 for tripping Hughes late there. I didnt like that bad icing call in the 1st, which gave the Jets some life in a game they were asleep for much of to that point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had the game on pvr, but I agree embarrassing a 3rd string goalie who stopped the team from being embarrassed does not look good on team unity. Imagine if our goalies start yelling and freaking at our defence or forwards out of position (not scoring or breaking out early or late) or scorers leaving it to the last minute to win a game 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piling up points last year masked a lot of the tantrum behaviour. Now that his offence has dropped off, his tantrums are more noticeable and more aggravating. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure he isn't tradeable. I will never understand the thought process that resulted in choosing to sign Miller and not Horvat. Completely and utterly mystifying. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 43 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: Ya. I agree. I think it's hard when they are trying to continue with this idea that they can get past a rebuild by retooling. Their major problem is they have no abundance of picks or prospects to try to do what they are doing. What confused me the most, was them saying the wanted to get younger and change the team around, followed by signing Miller... Together with drafting Lekkerimaki instead of Bischel or the other big D man available at our draft position... Then a really poor start together with Demko injury, which should really be catalyst for the changes they were talking about, but nothing... I fully expect to pick 12-16 range again, just outside the Bedard sweepstakes... I do cheer for every win, and I'm happy to see the team win, but I'm a fan, so that's to be expected. Management job, on the other hand, is to view it all logically, make a plan and stick to it, and leave the pompoms to us fans. I think they had a plan, but it blew up in their faces, when Miller didn't continue as a play driver, but Bo suddenly did. Regardless, if their plan was to trade Bo, he at least it making himself irresistable, just like Kuz is.... TDL will be interesting... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(18.5%) So the Canucks could lose every game the rest of the way. Finish last, and still draft 3rd overall. If we were to draft 3rd OA this is the year to do so... or so it seems at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Miller really taking a lot of heat off Boeser tonight. If we're talking about bad defense and poor effort, I'm looking at Boeser before Miller. Dude actually has a higher cap hit than Bo and Miller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should have been traded because of his work ethic defensively, his tendency to make high risk plays, his lack of ability to play C at a top 6 level, his age not fitting with the rest of the core, and his general perceived attitude. Him 'hating losing" has absolutely nothing to do with why I desperately hope this management swallows their pride and fixes their mistake before his NTC kicks in. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hates losing so much play some defense and backcheck ffs. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
