I have no idea. I’d like to think so but the team is fragile mentally they may never get out of this funk unless there are some drastic changes, i.e. Maurice firing.
Seriously we have to put up with a team holding a playoff spots fans crying about their “skid”. I mean I guess you lost your team 25 years ago. But this is 8 years of crap. Winnipeg vs Vancouver since they got back is a one way street.
I don’t mean to show you out. Just know we’re broken by the 8 years of this regime.
Folks…this is what it looks like when management and/or coaching has lost the room. It’s not going to get better until those things are addressed. And when they are addressed you may “magically” see improvements…

Lost the room implies they had the room (or if they did, it was as long as guys take to do a number one in the bathroom [unless they drank a ton of beers]) in the first place.
edit: they had the room in year one of the Benning regime. *SIX* years ago.
I don’t think this is a recent thing at all. I think if you add up the stuff in the last year alone it just went from tidal wave to tsunamai:
- Treatment of Stecher, Tanev, Marky, Toffoli
- Hanging the players and coaching staff out to dry on Covid
- Same for the Virtanen situation
- The Virtanen situation in and of itself
- Schmidt wanting out
- Edler rejecting an extension and heading to free agency
- Not prioritizing the contracts for top players
- riding the likes of Petan and Chiasson in pre-season
- Waiving system players in favor of tryouts
- Replacing top PP guys with Chiasson on the first unit
- Doing the same thing over and over despite it not working (PK, PP, take your pick on other things)
Just watched Pettersson's effort on that empty net goal last night. Skated like a guy waiting for the coach to get fired.
Or like a guy at the end of a 90 second shift… probably a bit of both with some thinking Domi had lost control of the puck. I mean I’ve seen bad back checks in my life and they don’t normally start with someone skating hard for 100+ feet first. Perhaps this was a case of that or perhaps it’s a case of optics right now with a player that isn’t performing. Could have done more probably but that gets said about every player on this team right now.

Competitive games in November. Mission accomplished.

yes…and a few years ago many were saying very similar things about him. Not professional. If he wanted to be there. Where is his production? Should the flames trade him? Should they blow up the core? Maybe they just had a leadership problem behind the bench and when that was solved players rebounded. Maybe it’s because of a contract year.
Of course there is more lack of leadership here but things can change in quite a hurry on the ice when other things are fixed. Which is why it’s imperative those things get fixed first.

I'm not sure what the problem is with the Canucks system, but clearly the players cant wrap their heads around it..Part of me suspects that Brad Shaw and his X's and O's (mixed in with Greens strategy) is just confusing the players (JT Miller in practice the other day..'wtf are we supposed to be doing?)...
After last season, a lot of people had the Flames as a bubble team that most likely misses the playoffs this season..(exactly where the Canucks were predicted as well)..The Flames bought in to the coach, the Canucks didnt, and are now playing as individuals...Even though, there has been no collective buy in from the team, the combined garbage production of EP,BB, and Bo is inexcusable.
I could be incredibly wrong, in all honesty if something came out about him I wouldnt deny it, truth be told his handling of the media and their ridiculous questions was welcome in my view….I want to see more NHL players speak their minds and show personality
Petey is young, I think he knows he needs to do more and his struggles are frustrations are gonna manifest in the dressing room, he wouldn’t be laughing and joking around these days cause the team is in shambles
new coach new GM and I think things change in the dressing too
Strange emotions watching this game.
On the one hand I want them to lose because of the (mis) management. On the other hand the players played so hard I wished they could win because they deserved this one.
Quinn Hughes was phenomenal this game. He really showed a Norris level quality to his game, both ends of the ice.
Podkolzin was also relentless and fantastic. Love him!
Tyler Myers was so tragic though. He should be put on unconditional wavers for the level of play he showed this game and recently. I can't believe OEL has to clean up this guys garbage every game.
But on a positive note, Tyler could be the Tank Commander we need!

It's still not as bad as the 'rose colored classes' Green wears after every loss.
Toxic work environment makes people underperform. Nobody is going to admit it but when everything around you is shit, you just can’t get yourself to put in the effort. It’s human nature. There is a reason why successful <anything> prioritizes culture above all else. The Canucks org has created and fostered a shitty culture and this is the effect.
You have Ginger Papa on your board. That's outweighs all negativity.
If that is Norris level i don;'t know what to say. Hughes won't ever sniff Norris . Makar is just much better than him on every level. Hughy is not prime Erik Karlsson. who could score 20G and 80 pts. This reminds me of the Petey is McJesus tier talk from 2 years ago.
