The commercial features Podkolzin, Garland and Joshua. A guy in the minors, a guy who's being shopped around and a grinder. Probably could have chosen the cast a little better. Basant Motors is a used car dealership located in Surrey. They are lucky they got more than the stick boy to push their inventory... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grandmaster Posted January 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Ok so I told my wife that when we win, I will get a tattoo of the Canuck logo, the Stanley Cup and the year on my entire back (told her years ago and she wasn’t too happy with that). I’m 49 right now and thinking this might not be a good idea once I hit my 70’s Edited January 12, 2023 by grandmaster 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's going to see this as us going out of our way to just mess with guys on poor contracts we are stuck with. I don't want to be signing UFAs so I guess this is a good way to make sure we don't anymore lmao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way to try and ruin a team that's already in shambles? I mean we got two cap dumps signed for years to come and they don't get along with Rick lol... This team is pretty suspect no coach can fix this mess of a team, so best not to change anythng till we fix some of this mess, not even trotz could fix a sinking ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 We can work towards having a GAA below 4.00 in the month of January. It will be really hard with this team. But the end goal is to tank for Bedard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that will stop that is Miller and Dem are back back (I meant to say back twice) Management needs to cut the knees out and trade Schenn and Bo to keep the future wins low.

Sit some fwds who are allergic to defense. When you actually watch closely and see the dmen struggle to compensate for poor defensive play by the fwd core, then it's pretty clear that the issue isn't the dmen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 1 hour ago, Strawbone said: I keep thinking of how the Seattle Kraken, in just their 2nd year, have put together a team that's on pace for more points this season than any Canucks team in the last 10 years. They have a bunch of journeymen players, no superstars, and on paper do not look like a 100 point team, but here we are. It just goes to show how building a TEAM is so much more important than collecting a bunch of players that look good on paper. This Canucks roster has been tinkered with endlessly over the past decade, and the end result is always garbage. Maybe, just maybe, there's some magic combination of a few individual player moves that can bring chemistry and success to this team, but it seems impossible to predict and maybe isn't possible at all. The only path forward that provides at least a reasonable chance at success within a few years is to gut this roster, get as many good draft picks, prospects, and cap space as possible, be near the bottom of the standings for a couple of years (which they're doing anyhow!) and build back from the ground up, taking in to account how every single player added is going to contribute to overall team success. That's obviously the incredibly hard part, but that's why the management folks get paid the big bucks. Vegas did the same thing in their inaugural season too. This league is too good to have your players take nights off or take periods off and still expect to win. I have been saying this for awhile, Canuck teams for decades have been built like this. Full of talent but lacked that journeyman type of players. I really think gutting the team is the answer and draft those players who are willing to put in the work night in and night out. Not to mention that the games would be a lot more entertaining to watch when the team is putting in a full effort every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Boudreau finally figured out that there is a net defensive increase in scratching OEL instead of playing him. Now do Myers too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
