Hello Mr.Aquilini, this is the new Canucks forum not the old one.


We’re allowed to freely criticize the team here, k thanx bye.

Doesn't make you (general you) any less whiny and dramatic.  It's ridiculous

Why is it whiny and dramatic to be tired of being fed the same promises year after year only to watch the team struggle to get their shit together out of the gate?

Lol ... wet blankets wet blanketing. 

 

But hey ... It's your right to wet blanket. Wet blankets are people too. We get it. 😉


Kool Aid drinkers will have plenty of 1 goal losses this season to praise Aquaman and management for the bang up job they’re doing don’t worry! 😉

If I’ve learned anything reading social media posts about Canucks hockey it’s that leadership, toughness and experience are laughably worthless attributes in a hockey player but winning preseason games is essential to success due to morale, momentum and overall cohesion.

lol it's preseason. Worth literally 0 points. Also, was everyone really expecting us to win every game or something?

The complaining sure makes it seem like it.

I'll reserve my judgement for when these games actually mean something. 

 

also let's temper expectations for the upcoming season.

this team's defence is still rather weak outside of Hughes and maybe Hronek. 

other than those two, lots of these guys are realistically 5/6 defencemen.

Ya and we are not intimidating at all. We are a pretty soft team. I am surprised they haven't addressed this issue. I just think we are going to get pushed around. A lot.

I am just more frustrated they aren't using these last two games to get some cohesion between lines and work off the rust. 


That’s the thing. This team has shown they can’t just turn it on.

 

Yet we’re going with the same approach of essentially icing the full roster for one game. No one should be surprised when this team has zero chemistry or offensive creativity in game 1.

So you’re happy with the D?

 

We did get a push from younger players?

 

We don’t need another top 6 player?

 

Which part am I getting wrong. Seems like you are just afraid I’m right. 😂
 

 

 

 

You should have stopped at "It's the preseason." Just a slew of fear mongering drivel after that.

I saw plenty of good things in this game.  You're acting like they were blown out of the water.  Clearly Tocchet is going for low chance, low scoring games and waiting for mistakes.  They played that system pretty well tonight, they just didnt convert when they had their chances.....throw the reg lineup in there and they probably do and it's probably a 3-1 or 4-1 game.

 

I thought there were quite a few players who had good games tonight.

 

I guess it depends on what your system expectations are.......if you want high octane run and gun, then I can see why you'd be disappointed.  However, I don't think that's how Tocchets going to coach this year.

 

Developing good system / structure  is what the pressason is about.
