That's their job. Especially with their broadcasters perhaps knowing a bunch of us were relying on their feeds because our management can’t be bothered to provide us a feed - pardon my old French - but fuck yeah sock it to us in those moments so long as we get coverage FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I think the current management has done a good job. The owners on the other hand before Rutherford came in have bled this organization and cut corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m liking the defence too, minus Myers. I hope Irwin plays better though or I will lump him in with Myers too. Blueger really stood out up front for me.

Popular Post Steamer4GM Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2023 1 hour ago, CanucksCritic said: Holy shit, Canucks games are going to be fucking boring this year. These 3 preseason games have been unbearable to watch. Not singling you out specifically as there are many others on the few PG pages I read with same reaction and I'm just baffled. The Edmonton game was a blast to watch and really the only one of the 3 to boast much of a contingent close to our regular season starting line up. I get that everyone wants the team to win and play thrilling games every time we sit down to watch but that's just never gonna happen so why set yourself up for all this crying by setting the bar that impossibly high, especially 2 weeks from puck drop? At least save your abandon ship pose for a month in or something Damn 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I think overall I am confused as to what the identity of this team is. I just thought by now with Rutherford it would have been set a bit more. Not too skilled and not too physical. Shouts mediocre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 46 minutes ago, Rusty Shackleford said: Considering we played the AHL team game 1 and half of this group yesterday, this is this group's first game. Everyone in the org has only played 1 game and Tochett has said this was their plan. Ready for the next 3 games, if they suck it up for those then I'll start being concerned. RT also stressed that he isn't concerned about the score in preseason (that don't count in the standings) and want's them to focus on a system and playing the right way (old habits can take time to remove) I think by the last 2 pre season games he will want wins out of his set lineup While we haven't iced our full team yet, for the 1st time in years, I am not as worried as before 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumping Kyle Burroughs, the second in hits last year after Schenn, one of our best puck movers that both Boudreau and Tocchet put with Hughes more and more as a fill in, at a 1.1 cap hit (San Jose), when we still need more physicality, was one of the dumbest decisions management has made since the Stillman mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first three are easing everyone in while seeing which young guys can step up. I still think the preseason should be more about the regulars coming together ... and hopefully they do starting next game. I agree. We already know guys like Bains aren't there yet. But I think Brisebois should get a good, long look (late-bloomer, and has looked terrific).

Bains, Sasson, Raty, and Karlsson are gonna be callup options very soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordekai Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 3 away preseason games where we have been dressing mostly ahlers while the oppositions have been dressing their top 3 lines plus top 2 pairs and Canucks fans are already complaining. Please give at least 5 if not ONE regular season game before you start complaining. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a terrible trade it was to acquire him. I really wanted to like the guy, but he was awful in his end. This management has made some good moves, but some bad acquisitions as well. The bad acquisitions so far haven't hurt the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
