Has Vantel/Playoff Jim schooled you guys on how to run a hockey team yet?
Who is Vantel?
Some ppl from HB think unfamiliar names must be alts of people from there. Paranoia
JR/PA totally misread the Canadian market. They were doomed for failure.
They couldnt even get a read on the team let alone the market. They misread and destroyed the team’s leadership… handed it over to the spoiled American clique… led by a mental case bully. All the locker room shit started after Horvat was chased out of town for poor leadership of all things. Players like Schenn and Cole kept head case self serving Miller under check and stood up for the younger guys. Once all those guys were gone it was only a matter of time. A lot of fans were cheering it on because they dreamed of a tougher team. Its not as easy as that. You need your tougher core to be true leaders and all on the same page… not asshole bullies who go out of their way to split the room.
That’s a real good take. Cliques like real life either work out or fail. Usually head to failure eventually. The only clique that has sustained success is from the top with the Canes & Habs as an example. On the ice it’s the jersey & team identity. Neither Hughes or Miller really exemplified that. EP40 hasn’t either but still can if the Sedins can straighten his head out. Boeser has shown to be team 1st through all he has gone through. Demko has been all Canuck since drafted our Carey Price. Buium is looking like a gem in many ways. When he puts it all together the good times are back. Add to that all the young kids & prospects if they bring team 1st & bust ass attitude every night.
Everything starts at the top & goes downhill. Sedins for stability & vision. RJ for design & identity. Manny developing & directing. The players playing for each other bringing it all to life. New chapter in Canucks history is coming sooner than later. Where it goes who knows. Is it exciting to not know? Yes & No. Reason for optimism hell yeah.
A good bio on Kudryatsev. Tracked since drafted. I like his game & expect him to make it as 7/8th depth D this season.
I missed the Hellebuyck rumour to the Sabres. That is an interesting prospect for the Sabres push to contend. One more team in the way for the Leafs for the Leafs 1st ever 4th round appearance is always worth looking forward to especially while the Canucks won’t be relevant for years. By then the Leafs will age out & onto another more years of ignominy.
Looks Like Bedard’s new contract sets him up to leave in 3-5 years. Maybe he is thinking about playing here after all.Gives Canucks a few years to straighten their shit out.
He has to stay healthy before that happens he has been injured a lot already. That said you never know a NortVan BC boy playing for his is a good story.
Still pumping EP40’s shot blocking skills at 11.6M eh? Lol.
No not at all I was staying on your topic. Now you go off topic. Make up your mind you spinny fan you lol
Idk if you’ve memory loss but I rode EP40 like a rented mule. Spent months clogging up HB about his crap play. Then said max 10m if resigning. You’re back up to date lol
Vancouver Ikeas. That will make VHG happy he loves Swedes
You can never have enough soft uninspired Swedes, especially in post season play. Not that the Canucks need to worry about that anytime soon.
Your boy Hoglander is gone. DPetey is no softy. Ohgren isn’t shy. Willander just finding his stride & his tool kit isn’t about physicality. Maybe talk about DeBrusk Boeser. Gotta give brittle Chytil a free pass. EP40 doesn’t avoid contact he just bounces off & onto his knees & lays out to lead NHL C’s in blocked shots.
Abby has a new HC. Onetime HC for Brooks Bandits from the AJHL. A long & accomplished stint.
