damn it I wanted to see Jensen on the PP now we have to wait
Sorry, can't help agree and hindsight being imperfect, would have to ask how any sane Canuck fan could look at the past 2 seasons, the team's decline offensively and Kesler's fragility and wonder how badly you want to win. When was the last time a Canuck team sold a player at his peak? That's what smart GMs do... It's often unpopular at the time but winning solves everything.
Nope... just a dedicated/opinionated fan for over 3 decades. Think I've earned my right to comment on the team.
Hell... people even pay me to do it.
The team is proving the obvious: you can't go an entire regular season relying on 2 lines, let alone a compressed one.
So I had to miss the game today. Sucks we lost. How was Jensen and Sweatt?
Newell Brown smh
AV yelling at something
Bowness with some funky hair
Serious question: did Raymond play tonight?
People need to realize we're running a team without an entire 2nd line, take the entire second line off anyteam for a prolong period of games, and i bet our team handled it one of the best. and we're also missing a key pieces from our 3rd and 4th line.
AV is doing status quo-ok. No coach can clean up the mess injuries has left this team with. (although i've hated how he has handled Ballard/Alberts/Barker)
For all the people beaking kesler, look how horrible our special teams is without him. He is absolutely vital to our PP, PK, and possession time.
Our team is fine. We just need to add a 3rd line center, 2nd line winger, and a depth defencemen to ensure that Alberts and barker never see the light of day. Our team is fine as long as Gillis addresses those three needs and the team gets healthy soon.
3 goals in 2 1/2 minutes! Where is that mentally tough Schneider I've heard so much about? ****, were in serious trouble believing in this dude!
With Higgins re-signing long term and Raymond being scratched is there a chance he gets dealt?
Raymond is an upcoming UFA and plays a stacked LW position - probably has lots of value this TDL. Wouldn't mind dealing him and using the assets for a 3C.
BTW from my limited viewing of this game I'm happy with our winger play. Ebbett/Schroeder/Sestito should all be 13th forwards on a deep roster.

I dunno, guys.
I'm thinking that there's really no point agonizing over the trade deadline or what we're going to get for moving a goalie. I just don't see the Canucks as being buyers for the simple reason we've just got too much missing from this team to be worth hawking draft picks or the few prospects we have. Yeah, we're decimated on the injury front; we're missing two entire lines. Minor moves are pretty much pointless. Unless Gillis finds a way to pull 3 top 6 forwards out of his ass, we're unlikely to make much headway in the next day and a half.
Remember when people were criticizing those posters who weren't overflowing with joy during the 6 game win streak? Yes, wins are nice but the team itself was betraying a lot during that time. It was on display in spades the last two games.
I see a team that needs a serious upgrade in brains, heart, skill and resilience to get back to being a serious contender. Right now, the only thing that isn't crying out for improvement is goaltending. Special teams are terrible. Breakouts are terrible. Defensive coverage is terrible. They fold under pressure, can't handle speed, can't handle physicality, and can't put the puck in the net to save their lives. Just getting it on the net is something they have a very tough time with. Bad habits have crept in and not been corrected. We've got Cam ****ing Barker in our d-corps. It just goes on and on.
This simply isn't a very good hockey team anymore, plain and simple. IMHO, major moves are needed to get the Canucks back to serious contention.
