He's already showing signs of his body breaking down from the wear and tear, plus he will probably age out before we are any good. Find a decent 2.5million dollar goalie on a 1 year deal in the offseason and ride with them and Martin next year. You’re fired bud. Hehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this market has met it's match. Maybe that's what's needed, tougher management and coaching in a tougher market. No wonder everyone's losing their s*** ... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CanuckFan1123 Posted January 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2023 I chose a rough game to attend the pregame warmups and Bruce there it is chants we’re great and probably the only parts of the game I enjoyed. I will say Kraken fans are super friendly. No one was rude or heckled me. Great atmosphere and great fan base. Much respect to them. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful, I reckon it'll be a process that outlives JR'S role here I said probs at least four years out from contention throughout the summer, could ve longer, I didn't think we'd look this bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this focus on accountability, harder play, details, and getting rid of passengers is a start. It's funny, when I first got really active on the boards in 2013, I remember saying that it very well could take 10-15 years when you look at the years in between each of our three Cup appearances. Of course I got crucified for it. Lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckleheads fan Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Sadly the Kracken have now passed us up, and will never look back. If a player wants to live in the NW and pay no income tax, big name UFAs will sign in Seattle. What we have now is probably the best the Canucks will be for years. It takes four to five years for a rebuild to work, and they are never assured to succeed. The Canucks start with a fairly empty cupboard, basically a few bottom six wingers, Pods, Hogs, etc., maybe a bottom pairding D and two legit long-term top players in Petey and QH, and I'm fairly positive Hughes will flee to NJ as soon as he's a UFA if not traded first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs some serious surgery and it'll likely be a longer process to turn things around than people will probably like imo. That's what you get when you keep failing at retools over and over again. If the Canucks had actually committed to a rebuild years ago they'd probably be better off. I don't think Tocchet will be around when this team is actually competitive again on a regular basis, I reckon he's another stopgap who might be around long enough to shift things but thats it. We'll see. This management group seems as stubborn as the last one, not all that confident. Edited January 26, 2023 by Coconuts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
