Why do you zero in on that..? Seriously I barely touch that compared to other posters and you know better there are several posts of diffenrt and wide topics. It's balanced and not critic laden either. Example Granlund was a good trade working out as Hunter isn't showing top 6 capability.

As for Labate. Common weren't you excited to see him play?

I'm not going to compile a folder of posts in which you mention WD's system or stlye, but if I was to hazard a guess, it would be 5+ minimum a day.

Whether it the playing style/system, keeping JV in the press box and god knows how that will affect his confidence, playing Dorsett, whatever.

Seriously it's your shtick right now, and once WD is let go and the team wins 4 straight you can continue to declare his ineptitude, until this talent laden team looses 10 straight after that and then there will be a new reason.

Who knows maybe it will still be WD's fault because he influenced his style to the point the team can't shake it...

Rich people like you, Scooby and Don make me upset. The rest of us can't afford to pay attention and you're livin it up with multiple properties

Perhaps you shouldn't retire every 3 weeks

I haven't, definitely on the list! I have been through South America, Central America, Asia many times, Aus and NZ. Greece and Turkey are up next but Amsterdam soon

Just go to Greece .... Turkey is dangerous plus no comparison

Mainly Istanbul (not sure if i'll have time for the coast)...A little danger makes the trip more fun

Yeah.... lol.... Lefty your love of all things WD is known far and wide .... not
- Nuck4U

it's well documented, I don't need to ramble on about it daily. He's in a tough spot, I get that, they can't score because they've got an offensively challenged team, thus they're trying to employ a trap system....that ain't working either.

Well if it makes it any better, you can really only use one at a time but pay twice the taxes.

You want to label go ahead. There is no shtick here. I don't have an angenda or one track mind. I am open to discourse and discussion about a variety of topics.

If the topic is brought up like where I answered the first poster sure there are views talked about.

As for WD he's a nice guy. A players coach. But this system play isn't winning games. So why not change it up? At least make it entertaining? Or maybe he's not able?

The team is chasing the games so often does open it up or try to pressure. However, there system isn't designed to work that way and so it's not working so well.

Now, are they the best players in the NHL. NO. But that doesn't mean they aren't capable of doing more.

The next GM is going to have to clean house of all the players WD tainted with his poor systems and the emotional damage of bad linemates and trips to the pressbox

Istanbul is another awesome city, so much history over there!! I love traveling to those places.

I traveled around China for a few months, the history there is also amazing! The food however, not so much.

If they opened it up they'd be losing 6 or 7 - 3 every night, at least now they're keeping games close.

5 on 5 the Canucks are at the bottom of every category in the NHL...they just suck.

How can you prove that? What would tell you that its the players and not the coaching system that is causing the results? Thats the point we are all tire talking about. WD has had some deployment issues, that we can all see, but considering no one outside the team knows the details of the system, how can we say its the system and not the players trying to execute? We cant, because we werent born with the ability to see it

I didn't realize you travelled so much. I have done Hong Kong, Bali, Thailand (4 times), Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore. But not mainland China. Asia is a blast!

MAKE sure he's a fiduciary.... other wise roll it all in Vegas. IT's golden there.

Ya it's a fun place. When I worked overseas in the Middle East for five years on a 28 on 28 off schedule we'd travel around a lot on my four weeks off. Dubai is central when you're not traveling to the Americas, easy access to Europe or Asia.

do us a favour so we may understand you more fully:

please explain in detail (so we ralph wiggum types) can understand what you mean by willie's system(s). and please don't say that he has no system b/c that is ridiculous. please explain the system(s) detailing the break out, where players are to be positioned, the type of forecheck and the over all positioning of players in the offensive, defensive and neutral zones. start with the over all defensive and offensive philosophy and work in specifics.

thanks in advance.

No.....did I imply that? I want a rebuild, which I guess we're getting but not really owning it, which annoys me.

But it really is his fault???

Seven opportunities to add new generation players out of the 1st round and we basically only have Horvat to show for it... and he had to trade an elite player who was drafted by the previous GM to accomplish this.

There is that...
