Darius Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I get that they want to rehearse young players but how does this help them or get a realistic idea of how they would perform on an NHL roster? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jett Woo playing as a 6th vs half Calgary roster might actually look decent. He's being asked to do too much and, honestly, how the fuck can this be good for his development? This is an annual fucking joke at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) I think the big problem with not icing a team that can at least be competitive is that you have a fanbase who have only seen losing. You want to let them have confidence going into the season. This wasn't the way to do it. Poor judgement I think. Ya it's an AHL roster but at least have it be competitive.

Riddikulus Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 19 minutes ago, RWJC said: Preseason is meaningless in terms of how it represents or contrasts against the regular season. history has proven that time and time again. Calgary is simply trying to unify their roster after a dismal season and major internal strife. We are not in the same position. Folks need to keep in mind certain perspectives. I don't think that's it. Calgary is the home team, early in pre-season the home team tends to dress more regulars than the away team. Although I do feel after this game the coaching staff will be forced to dress a few more regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekker Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 1 minute ago, CanucksRookieFan said: No whats pointless is fans trying to get Canucks to commit to playing their vets but Canucks managment is too smart for that, it's called trusting the process. Ask anyone who been in the NHL managment they will tell you that, I am new to hockey but I have huge faith in the managment team and have to believe their reasons for doing what they are doing is beyond the average fans Welcome to the game of hockey Best game on the planet.

gwarrior Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Almost surprised the tards in Calgary aren't changing "we want 10" by now....... but I don't think they can count that high. They're probably going "9?!!!! What the hell is that?!!!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
