That was a successful recipe for awhile, not anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again....people talking like they can predict the future. "Additions" to the team are "assets" and "depth" when reality is....maybe they do nothing for us. Younger isn';t a formula for "better" but some throw it out there like it is. And admit when your wrong. I was not on board trading Bo, didn't like it. But after seeing the Tochett-JT tandem and the ying and yang with EP. I was dead wrong. There was a home run ball right there to swing at, I missed it completely. 5 2 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTueyCanucksFan Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Glad to see our Canucks pull out another win against Edmonton. I was worried that this streak would not be sustainable. Very glad to be proven wrong. The way they are playing right now, they can beat any team. Looking forward to the litmus test against Vegas and Boston. We are in for a very special year I think.

To say "I like Miller" but....and then stay stuck on your reasons for trading him is... just staying stuck. This team would be in trouble without Miller. Then the future would also be in jeopardy regardless because the foundation to build from isn't there. And yes, an older player is part of that...veteran leadership, changing the culture, all the things that he does would result in a different picture of this team. To focus on the future without considering the here and now to prove a point isn't really doing so. This is probably already posted, but he's also a great spokesman for the team (along with Captain Quinn). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua isn't going to cut it during playoffs. We are showing team grit, but not team toughness and that will wear guys like Hughes, BB6 and Petey down over a couple series. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone over the last couple years has been wrong about something. While I was completely on board with moving Bo, I admit I was on the trade Boes bandwagon early last season. I didn't want the team to give him away, but I would have been completely fine if they moved him. Boy was I off on that one. Also how many people were calling for Myers to be sent to Abby, or the moon! Now look! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngould21 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I think Tocchet sent a message to the Canuck team late in the third. He put the #1 power play out in a 5-2 game when normally a coach wouldn't do that. I think that move was sending a message to the Coilers, you try cheap shots, we'll make you pay, regardless of the score. I, for one, is glad he did. I have never seen such an entitled team of so-called superstar babies in my life. I've been saying for years that team has no goaltending, see the Hoglander goal and the rebound that was put on his stick. Plus, their defense is even worse. I don't see Woodcroft surviving this tire fire into the weekend. Is it his fault? I don't think it is, but, he's got the two "best" players in the World as everyone tells us, and they aren't even close to winning anything. Can the Canucks keep this pace up for an 82 game schedule? Not likely, but this is sure as hell fun watching the Eastern Networks, TSN, and Sportsnet taking notice. Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that the Canucks would outscore the Oilers 17-4 in three games?
