I think they finish bottom 5
Yahhhhhhh. Can’t wait for Juolevi v2.0 to play 6 minutes / healthy scratch in 10 years from now.

Yeah, I agree. Nothing to look forward to until October when Podkolzin comes and our team also hopefully gets back on track somewhat.
Benning walks home? I heard he’s an avid Biker.
What's the solution?None of that is true. We're a team full of useless, slow, expensive veteran players who demoralize our good young players as they are the reason why our positive contributors could not be brought back to build on the glimmer of success last year.
We essentially have two guys under 21 who are amazing, but yet to be tied up long term to contracts, and then all our other "young players" are turning 25/26 and approaching UFA years.
Mehhhhhhhh. Where does it end. Everyone has their own show. Should we pin Dave Pratt’s podcast? What about Stanchion, Brough, etc etc.
Brah. They were bad last year, and the year before, and the year before that.Is this team really this bad? I was expecting a downturn this year but not a worst in league performance. I don’t even know what they can do to change. Elder Tanev and Markstrom protected this team from being worst in the league in previous years. Two are gone. The other is almost done.
Edit: the only consolation is that this year is a weird year and can be dismissed going forward.
The “no plan, plan, clearly comes from the very top.How has no changes been made yet. I know this season is a loss but maybe get a head start for next year?
They've gone down from being a bubble playoff team last year. I'm kinda done talking about the loss of players that were making significant contributions. It was the clearest evidence of the consequences of poor management. Seems the only way they may make a change is if the bottom line $$ is impacted. And right now COVID muddies that water.Brah. They were bad last year, and the year before, and the year before that.
They just lost their best tender, 2 right side dmen an good winger in Toffoli and a servicable guy in Leivo.
The Canucks are slowly but firmly sliding towards being the worst team in the league. Green: "Things are going well and we're playing well." He's starting to look like Bagdad Bob with these comments.The coach is completely delusional. "5 on 5 we played well. I thought our goalie played well" Please just stop. Stop deluding the team mentality that they did things well. No they didn't. Call out the people who are complete trash, and start talking about the real problems with the team. But no no no...every piss performance we have it is delusion after delusion "we played well, you good teams go through rough patches...etc, etc." NO, we didn't play well, we are a bad team because we have some bad players and terrible contracts. Even Torts and Alain said it as it is when the problem is blatantly apparent.

First of all Draisaitl is not in the zone where RVH (aka dropping to your knees against the post) is warranted.
Drai is clearly inside the faceoff dot. The diagram above is from 2014 - nowadays NHL shooters are hanging out in the part of the purple triangle from the center of the faceoff circle to the wall. They can curl back into the faceoff circle a teeny bit to give themselves aerial angle on any goalies who drop down early. Even by 2014 standards, dropping here is idiotic.
