His record in Az wasn’t great, but the again he didn’t have the talent there, or the commitment from ownership to spend to the cap. I’m interested to see how far he can take this team in the years to come. Yeah we had to many soft coaches! I think I'm starting to actually believe again. Or maybe this time around we really got nhl coaches instead of ahl assistants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmonk Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We can only control our own destiny. If the hockey gods gave us lottery teams to play against and we do manage to win ALL our remaining games. Maybe we can go on a run, will that be something to talk about for years to come. Chicago won Boston! Now that's an eye opener. Maybe now it's the other teams going on a cold steak. Now that we ARE the hottest team. Who can stop us if bubble demko plays elite. Maybe just maybe it's the right time to gel.? Just enjoy the ride and maybe we can pull a Bedard out of a hat. It's a lotto we can move up 10 spots. Maybe the gods are calling our number for once..

Maybe he just needed to escape New York to show how good he really can be. Playing with Petey makes everyone become better... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller reminds me of Kesler in that he is able to carry a line on his own as well... and he plays with some snarl as well... This is the 99 point Miller back... if he can maintain that form next season, we will have a great season. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chemistry has really boosted Miller's confidence and his contract is okay so long as he keeps producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, moving Miller is still the best move, imo, but I agree Garland makes every line he plays on better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God... have some self respect people You're allowed to be happy in life and not have a 5 game win streak from your favorite team put you on the verge of depression. It isn't a sign of lack of self respect. Honestly, what did you expect to happen when Demko came back healthy? You thought he'd play at a .875% like he did while injured? That's foolish. Let the boys have fun, we already have our 1C. 2C, 1D, 2RD, 1G, and great wingers to compliment that. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God... have some self respect people Last season teams played down to the Canucks, as JR mentioned, they won a bunch of games down the stretch and had some fun. But Boudreau didn't have a good off season or camp and the players weren't ready for Game 1 of the next season, and started the season losing the first 7 games. Bruce, there it is. New coaches, new players, new way of playing. Pity the fools who play down to the Canucks right now. Have some faith, this is a good team, but it's really about preparing for next season. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season where we miss the playoffs, but you could see the potential mounting. I’ve believed in this team from day one and argued that coaching/systems and goaltending has been our biggest downfall. We’ve found the right coach, our PK has been night and day better and Demko has found his game again. I love how our AHL guys have really stepped up and it looks like we have some bottom 6 AHL depth building. These guys are a factor in our wins, they are all good skaters and are pretty physical. Plus Wooly and Breezer move the puck well. Our window is still just only started to open, its not like we are a team past its best before date and every missed post season is another season closer to a rebuild. We have time and learning some hard lessons will help shape this group. 1 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko being injured this season just stalled it for 1 season. We'll be good next season. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Tocchet feels like the right kind of coach/ personality to whip this team into shape. He seems like that alpha guy who will give clear direction for the players to follow. A guy who understands what the players are looking for in a coach and what the players need because he was a successful player on a lot of good NHL teams. The Canucks players look like they want to work hard for him and their teammates. That is the right kind of mentality and identity a team needs. Unfortunately this new Canucks team that we are seeing comes at the cost of a worse 2023 first round pick. Hopefully next season we will be close to a playoff team based on Toccet's impact and with a couple new pieces to the lineup 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our young core is clearly ready to compete right now and for the next 5-7 years. Using the islanders’ pick to bring in Hronek to fill in a much needed piece was a very smart move. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
