Like he would turnover the puck yes, but then make up for it by scoring a big goal. This season is a whole other level. He’s not skating hard at all, he’s taking bad penalties, and he’s playing with zero heart. I see a player that has cashed in and knows he doesn’t need to play hard anymore. That or he’s hoping he gets moved. He did and he didn't. I was banned more than once for pointing out jT's toxic nature and complete lack of effort on defense. As I've always said, a guy like JT is great when things are going well, but incredibly toxic when they arent 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see very little evidence of a coordinated system in their own end or the nzone. That's BB's job But they don't use the tools, nor do they put in the effort. As I said. The mix is wrong. How many coaching changes have to be done before the blame falls on the players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see very little evidence of a coordinated system in their own end or the nzone. That's BB's job I see very little in terms of players having the IQ to execute. That’s not on Boudreau. Like Boudreau said before it’s not in the system to hand the puck to the other team. Is it on him when Bear decides to throw the puck right in front of his net? Or if Miller can’t get the puck deep and gives up a 2 on 1? Or Chaos Giraffe decides to turn his brain off?

A faulty brain switch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a dude on here who often advocates acts of violence on referees and seems to get a free pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've always said, a guy like JT is great when things are going well, but incredibly toxic when they arent I agree those things were there but they’re on another level this season. He doesn’t even attempt to back check now. He made lots of defensive plays last season that I can remember. And he countered poor plays with really good ones. Right now he’s not even putting the effort in on either end of the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I Think Elliot Friedman summed it up perfectly yesterday on the Donnie & Dhali show saying that the team is just mentaly exhausted knowing the Coach, Captain and likely half the team are on their way out and they're simply waiting for the hammer to drop. This team is DONE & OVER WITH ! The Rebuild needs to begin soon. If Aqua-lini still denies the need for a rebuild and gets in the way then he should step aside and let an adult run this team! Stop wasting everyones time Frankie! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Locke Lamora said: The only Vancouver media worth listening to, in my opinion, are Halford and Brough….and Ian MacIntyre when ever he appears. Though young guys Faber and Quads showed promise, but they have regressed….and are now debasing themselves with the gambling stuff too. I listen to a lot of Seattle sports radio these days….some really good talent talking sports down there. Not a ton of hockey chat though. Emerald City Hockey pair (YouTube) are pretty good - post game wrap up after every game, a few specials, and every now and again some coverage of the Coachella Valley Firebirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 30 minutes ago, Gawdzukes said: Yeah, honestly better player and teammate but a total pedestrian. Maybe JR thought he interviewed with Pittsburgh West? All-time NHL iron man, was a top end offensive talent, still possesses a good measure of speed, supposedly a good teammate, beat cancer, would probably be chill to have a beer with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you can look at that D and say wow that’s terrible. But can it really be worse than what we’re seeing? We have the worst defensive stats in the league! A guy like Brisebois deserves a look. He plays the style that this team needs. A calm stay at home guy that can move the puck. And if you look at top teams in the league, even they have guys on their D that you wouldn’t think of as NHL regular. Guys like Chatfield on the Canes. He may not be the best defender but he plays the role the coach wants. And I love Schenn’s physicality and leadership but there’s no way he should be in the lineup every night. He’s a number 7 that comes in and out on the bottom pair. Dermott has the skating that this team sorely lacks. Why do we keep putting out guys like Myers and hoping they can be a top 4? This team has always been afraid to hurt vets feelings and bench them. It’s why we never have any accountability.

Googlie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Locke Lamora said: The latest thing going around is that EP really doesn’t like Miller. If true, consider me unsurprised. For a guy who gives it at both ends of the ice like Petey does, with the body frame of a stork, it must really burn him to watch JT do his thing out there. He appreciates that Miller has second most hits on the team after Schenn. He loves the saucer passes JT gives him on the powerplay for one-timers. He loves JT's doggedness on the forecheck. He has said all that in various interviews (hits comment was generic, not specifically re Schenn). What's your basis for your opening assertion?
