We need to pull the goalie and play 6 on 5 the whole game. It's our only chance to win. 0.001%

What about the opposite, have 2 defencemen stand right up next to the goalie on either side, hugging the posts, while the goalie takes the middle of the net. Wouldn’t they cover the whole thing without even moving? It’s an infallible strategy! There’s no rule saying defencemen have to actually move, is there?

I hope that’s nothing too concerning but it’s hard to be optimistic this year.  
 

Coach and captain one foot out the door.  Healthy scratch on a guy wearing the A.  Key guys criticizing the org publicly like this.  Team pres wistfully talking about retiring with his old club.  Players who leave throwing shade and bouncing back.  Strong players like Boeser, Miller, Garland and Demko really struggling this year. New players, besides Kuz, fading after awhile even if they look good early.  
 

This has to be rivalling the Messier years at this point.  Cue Bo getting traded a la Linden.


(At least the Messier years turned into my fav group, the WCE team!)

To top it all off we haven't played this bad defensively since Gretzky was destroying us in the 80s. This is a historically bad season.

Yup, prime example is the team across the ice today.  

 

Tampa punches first, asks questions later.  Meanwhile we have the most docile group in the league.  

Aquaman please sell off this team so a GM can strip this team down and give us a lunchbucket team of guys who at least entertain if not win.  Would love to finally see a team that doesn't get pushed around.

Ya, he's just not good for this city. We need an owner who knows what he's doing.

What?

 

Did the team force him to shut it down?

 

Can they not go a week without controversy. Holy crap what a clown show!

That's the only thing I can think of 

 

Maybe they pushed him to have a second surgery

It's just one thing after another. You never hear stories come out of franchises like Tampa, Boston, New Jersey etc. It's just horrible to be a fan right now.

So what hope is there now? Medical staff is trash, players don't seem to have any pushback, pride or heart, D is a tire fire, lame duck coach, assistant coaches suck, management is clueless with no plan or vision, ownership stinks, etc. 

 

These have got to be some of the darkest years in franchise history. Being a Canucks fan is a God damn embrassment.

Could be a move to bring in cap relief for the deadline so we can take on expiring contracts. 
 

Not a good way to go about it. That’s the kind of stuff players hear about and don’t want to play here.

 

im only speculating but I wouldn’t put it past them

Like we replace our whole medical staff because of their incompetence and then we still get garbage like this happening?

Boudreau: We didn't get the breaks. 
 

Ya that terrible second was because we didn't get the breaks. You got a break when Tampa stopped playing so.

Bruce ain’t coming back so that’s good.  This is his last year coaching in the NHL.  He Basically just received a one year notice to be fired at the start of the season.  Obviously not his fault with the way the year has been going but I’m not gonna defend him either.
