As I'm scrolling through the hate, I'm trying to guess the ages of some. My guess is there are a lot of teenagers and 20-somethings here, judging by the immaturity and angst. It's getting a little silly. 

 

I miss the days when Canucks fans were united and cheered for the team, instead of name-calling and attacking people's character. The fanbase seems divided and I'm not digging it. 

 

I have faith that JR and his team (including Tocchet) will figure this out and make the Canucks competitive again. We'll see. We don't know what the future holds, but some are already expecting failure and misery. Sad. 

 

Go Canucks Go

Huh, you have a very different view.

 

I've had CDC pegged as largely 35-40+ for years.

So let me get this straight.

 

Blind faith and being ignorant is a sign of maturity? No that is not signs of maturity.

He said Canucks fans are going to defect to Seattle and he's one of them.

Wow. That's disgusting. FA needs to sell the team or hand over control to someone who isn't a sadistic, tyrannical piece of garbage. 

 

Rutherturd needs to become compost. Or not.

Is he really a true fan then?  Fans that check out are still fans. They’re just taking a break from their club, but aren’t cheering for another team, and against us.  But fans that so easily switch to another team never were fans in the first place.  IMHAO, of course.

I was ok with the presser. Was pretty adversarial at the beginning. Media stepped up and pressed them with the right questions. 

 

I liked that Rutherford apologized and addressed it. I mean, it was something rather than nothing. Didn't quite agree with him blaming it all on the media but get where he was coming from. At least it seems like he's seeing the missteps he's made in this market.

 

Also liked that Allvin kept coming back to the fact he hasn't seen a banner hanging from the rafters as his motivation/decision-making. He seemed to really be motivated by that. The many references to the long term also sounds like they may be looking to next season after the draft to really dig in ... hopefully that's the case 

 

I'm open to Tocchet. Loved him as a player and hope he brings that to the team. Also liked his answers about the PK and utilizing guys in special teams. Also what he said about channelling emotion the right way responsibly.

I'm curious about Gonchar and Foote ...

 

There's a possible upside in all of this. Time for talk is over. 

 

 

Great take.

good to know that adam foote has 63 games of WHL head coaching experience...

Classic notion that success as a player clouding sane judgement on if they can be great coaches.

 

Often times the bottom of the lineup players become great coaches and not the other way around.
