KFan Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Trade Bo now!! His value is going down and his play is borderline bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU SERIOUS Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just watched Tock-It during his Post-Game interview and let me tell you, he looked really pissed and shocked with what he saw tonight. He is not going to age well with this group and their performances and I can see him blowing a gasket quickly. He looks like a VERY impatient guy and I honestly don't think he knows what he got himself into with this hornets nest of a team. I wish him Luck but I don't get the feeling he'll be around here long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like he was coming to terms with that during his postgame. Totally lost for words. As I think we all are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Seriously though, we have a LOT of talent out there, but this is the most disorganized I've seen this team since the late 80's when people were literally wearing bags over their heads to Canuck games at Pacific Coliseum. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL has been getting put into horrible positions and tonight was a perfect example. There was at least two Seattle goals where OEL was covering his man and in the last second had to try and shuffle due to a defensive zone breakdown. How many times did OEL stop a Seattle forward streaking in on the net, three, four? OEL was one of the few bright spots except for Spencer Martin, Dakota Joshua (miniscule positive effect), DiGiuseppe (won some battles), and Garland. If we hold off one more year on the buyout, it would cut down the length of time to repay the penalties in the long run and make the numbers smaller. Regardless, we are getting the equivalent of a 5 mil/year d-man for next year but paying him 7.2 mil. His contract inefficiency is not reason enough to make our team worst with a penalty in the immediate future (next year). We need proper goaltending before we can assess the defensive shortcomings of this team. Everyone’s tiptoeing around the fact that our netminders have been terrible since Demko’s injury. No one wants to crap on them because they’re both in a really tough spot but they’ve been terrible. This affects confidence all through the lineup. It’s not their fault they have been thrown into his brutal situation, but you’re not gonna win in the NHL with these two guys in net. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. The buyout is obviously the last thing they should consider. The only positive is OEL’s cap hit is almost zero next year. If JR is thinking short term he might jump at being able to free up $7 million in cap space for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t say you wanna lose and then b&tch and moan when it happens. You should be celebrating the team being this bad. This is what it’s gonna take to outtank teams like Arizona and Columbus. Yup! We need a top 3 pick! Sorry but it’s facts. We need that 1 franchise player that’s above Petey. Every successful team has had top pics and plenty of draft picks. At this point whenever the opposition scores, I celebrate as if Vancouver just scored! having a bedard as your top center, and having Petey as a 2nd line. Perfect world, bo as a 3rd line ….. oh my 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat almost 45 minutes past two nights. Petey also 40+. Boeser, Mik and Kuz played more than Miller tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 When they replaced Boudreau with Tocchet, they also needed to replace the Assistants. (Clarke excluded) They are still playing with that handicap. Maybe they'll take that step in the off-season. But by then the players might have lost any confidence in Tocchet.... looked like JT Miller has already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 1 minute ago, *Buzzsaw* said: You're right. And I am actually a little relieved the team is not responding to Tocchet and playing better. They are actually trying to do what he is asking... backchecking and trying to be responsible... but it is crippling their O-Game. And they are still over-committing in the opposition's zone... and leaving themselves open to the counter. I would have been pissed if they started playing better under Tocchett. Would have just made me wonder where it was earlier and why they were giving up on Bruce. There should be no doubt in managements minds about what needs to be done. Complete teardown of the D, rebuild the bottom 6, and more speed and grit, and get a reliable backup goalie. All the thing Benning failed to do in his 7 years of building. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like JT Miller but as a coach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 In retrospect, that win against Chicago really hurts. Had we pulled out the loss, Chicago would have had 34 points and we would have had 39. Another four-pointer coming up on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I hope they did because it would give me faith that they’ve chosen to tank. Like a guy who’s in charge of a 65% pk does not escape firing unless the team wants to lose 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
