Any faith I had in our medical staff ended with the handling of Baertschi last year.
Oh they're morons alright. Strangely though, it seems there wasn't even a concussion spotter at the arena in Abbottsford last night. I would like to see someone delve into that issue a little further. All in all though, losing two players in dumb boarding incidents is pretty lousy.This is 100% on the Canucks training staff, coaches and management.
Boeser is your asset.
You are supposed to protect your asset.
I actually can’t believe how poorly they handled this.
No concussion protocol, no sitting him just to be safe (it’s a preseason game), no physical response from the team (remember when they all stood around when Pettersson got concussed?), coach says “its a hockey play,” no outraged statement from management demanding a very harsh and severe suspension for what was a clearly dirty play in a preseason game.
It’s actually pathetic.
One of these days the horrible injury/concussion prevention and treatment by this team is going to cost them dearly.
Boeser, Pettersson, Demko, these players are the entire future and they’ve all had their concussions mismanaged. If they have lingering issues from this, it could spell doom for our future.
The second concussion is always worse than the first. And with how badly the first has been managed for our young core, it could end up diminishing their long term effectiveness as players.
Sure thing
I know, wtf eh. Talk about the coach not being a 'team player.' And it's far from the first time he's failed to to bat for a player injured via cheap shot. It's always a 'hockey play' to this asshole."This was a good hockey play". What a ****ing idiot.
He won't, but Green really should mind who he dresses for tomorrow's return match vs Ottawa. That rookie coach of theirs has the look of a troglodyte about him. Looks like he could fold Green into a dagwood sandwich with very little effort.
That was the last straw for me. I gave him a pass because he didn't have the personnel to handle any kind of pushback, but to do nothing in an absolutely meaningless game is inexcusable. Fire him.I know, wtf eh. Talk about the coach not being a 'team player.' And it's far from the first time he's failed to to bat for a player injured via cheap shot.

What do you disagree with in my post?
If it’s an ‘excellent deal’ that’s so obviously excellent, it should be pretty easy to look at the other bridge deals as evidence to show why. And prove me wrong.
It’s getting *really* tiresome to have people constantly resorting to personal shots rather than actual debate, and when it happens I kinda always know the person knows they’re wrong.
And for the record, when an actual excellent deal was signed with Edler, I was more than willing to say so.
The agent actually says if he had to “guess” (he uses that word) management was probably looking for a lower number because of things tightening up. He then follows up by saying also maybe they had concerns about Brock’s injury history.
The point is he is being far more speculative than you are portraying it.
I’m legitimately not sure if this is sarcastic or not but just in case it isn’t:
They completely mishandled Boeser’s back injury in his rookie season.
They put Demko and Pettersson on flights immediately after they sustained concussions, which made Demko’s symptoms even worse.

Yes would be nice if someone stepped up and Bertuzzi'd or McSorley'd him. We all know what a trash bag goon Horvats buddy Chris Tierney is... Gotta go after and injure that guy. Eye for an Eye with a skull fracture i say. Geez Benning i thought we were gonna be like the Broastreet Bullies not a bunch of sissies.....Coach and GM should be demanding retribution from the boys.In a meaningless preseason game someone on the Canucks has to be tough enough to tune a guy up who takes out any of our top 4, being Pettersson, Boeser, Hughes and Horvat. Just sad really. So he gets a 2 game suspension. Big deal. Otherwise people will be taking liberties with these guys, particularly Pettersson and Hughes.

All this is still ok isn't it?
There's a big difference between the Bertuzzi incident and sending a message that it's not ok to cheap shot our star players. This team apparently can't even acknowledge that it's unacceptable though.. "just a hockey play".
There's absolutely no fire in Green's belly, nor Benning's. They're couple of jellyfish that get folded over in every confrontation/ negotiation, or whatever. You want to wring their necks sometimes. Guys like Quinn and Burke could go overboard the other way but I actually miss that now. Better that than just the old meek el foldo in every conflict. So frustrating.There's a big difference between the Bertuzzi incident and sending a message that it's not ok to cheap shot our star players.
