If you waived Booth, there would be teams lined up to claim him. I don't see the problem that some posters are finding.
2 assists in 11 games is my problem..

For the record I would actually like Booth if he was "only" getting paid a million dollars.
time to add jensen to the lineup.........
Watching the Kings and Flames, I believe it was mentioned that Sutter believes in constantly attacking the opposition, even when up. That shows the separation in coaching philosophies.
When winning, fight as if you are losing. It's the best way to put away opponents.

I like this station better already but does gillis ever come on? I chose team simply because gillis and players and staff were always on team, do they ever listen or come on here?
Seriously?![]()
Is there a link for an albertan?
Edit nevermind found it. Does gillis go on this station or ever listen?
I only chose team1040 cause gillis is always on, the callers hurt me though.
No, hyperbole. That said, we have been dominated a little too often this season and outside of maybe two games, have not returned the favor. Right now we have no business in the discussion of those four teams. We look tired, lazy and complete mediocre.
Off the top of my head, I can only remember the first game of the year against Anaheim, then obviously the Detroit one as far as being dominated goes. We've been close in pretty much every game this year.
And I think our record reflects that. Lots of overtime games, GF and GA are almost the same.
Considering how far they are from playing up to their potential, and missing their second line centre and top pairing defenseman, I think they've done a pretty good job of hanging around in a really tough Western Conference.

AV has exactly one top 9 calibre center on the team right now, H.Sedin. After that we go to Schroeder, a rookie getting his first taste of action and Max Lapierre who is a 4th line center. Gillis has yet to address the loss of Hodgson, Malhotra and Kesler. The center depth is atrocious, AV is being forced to shoe horn wingers into the middle, something you can get away with for a couple of games but not exactly a long term formula for success.
It's amazing how far ahead the Bruins look compared to the Canucks since they met in the Cup finals.Sitting on a lead is not a problem reserved for the Canucks. However, if you look around the league, the best teams like Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston, and LA all still attack and force the issue when they have the lead. Hawks at their best (this season and their Cup season) do it too.

Not to mention he's using Lappiere as a second/third line centre, while sticking the rookie in a situation to fail.
I'd be more inclined to accept reference to injuries or lack of personnel had this level of play not extended to January of 2012.
Honestly, what's he supposed to do? He would friggin love it if Schroeder took the ball and ran with it. He's done nothing though, despite getting 1st unit PP time. I'm not blaming Schroeder either, he's getting his first taste of action and shouldn't be relied on for scoring but the Canucks have had their hand forced because we have no depth down the middle.
Gillis is hanging AV out to dry here, I'm not sure why. Hopefully he's got something in the works.
