Get it that you want results. Like you said before it takes time to develop a power forward. As for questions on JV wasn't that put to bed?
- Nuck4U

I honestly couldn't care less about him. I am interested in how Canucks are doing.

They have thirteen of 20 points. Lots going right , and young players stepping up. That's what I care about.

There are players like Boeser Juolevi Boeser and others busting their ass to make the NHL. That's what I care about. I don't care about a young player that hasn't done much.

The wife just said every family has a dumb and dumber and seeing there are only two of us her that I am dumb and she is dumber.

I told her no. There is me , and then the coffee table is dumb and she is dumber.

No sex for me this week.

Personally, the amount of little red flags I've noticed with JV is concerning. Mature and metally, he's not in a good place.

Lost his composure in the WJC and played like a punk chained to the penalty box.

Team mates are lecturing him about being a pro off the ice.

His predatory hit over pretty much nothing and lead to a suspension.

Calling out his captain to the media.

Seemed to be blaming the coach for his season start...again to the media.

And yet again, drops more comments to the media just a couple of days ago.

People can argue against all these individual somewhat petty issues but collectively, it shows he has a punk attitude at this point. I'm starting to be suspect of what kind of lockerroom presence he's going to be down the road. Positive or negative?

I get what you are saying. Could be his mind hasn't caught up to his body. He's a kid who hasn't matured enough to handle things the right way.

Maybe you like others care that JV develops into top 6 power forward for Canucks. Until then we just let him be and let the process work it out.

Let him be would involve a small mention every third day after a Utica game.

In Vancouver the media is Jim the team won 13 of 20 points ,whats happening with JV

Willie the team played great tonight What is wrong with JV

Alex you got three points tonight, what was the locker room like with JV in it?

How long do you think the club will allow it to be the main distraction?

Other then the trade talk from Eliot Friedman sounded like it was over. Then the Province article on why he thought he was in Utica. Yeah that was funny. But it seems settled now. Focus will be on play here and who may get traded. Miller time anyone?

yes....Its like I said this time last year. He seemed to be not wanted on the team. They sent him to the worlds then straight to AHL for conditioning (legal to do last season).

We see Mcann traded. Although it was said he was the worst of the 2.

Sounds like they should do more screening for this in draft interviews

Hey guys, I sent Makita a short letter tonight asking him to be more free with the ban hammer with all these Leaf trolls. The things they say in here, we would never be allowed to say in their "room".

Please take a moment and ask Makita to be more available to the idea of a three day ban to anyone who is being a troll.

Like I said I like Stecher Bo Tree Hutton Guddy and the new guys. I don't want to waste too much more on a prospect. Ifg I wasn't drinking wine it would have been over hours ago

So did anybody like Gaunce with Granlund in the middle and LE as line?

Leave Chaput with Megna and Skile to play a north south speed game as energy line?

JV/Kassian/Bertuzzi/Kreider/Lucic on and on...

These types of PF players always seem to have issues with performance and attitude. Some of them make it, and some don't. It's up to the organization's leaders to STAND up and tell them when enough is enough. The Captain SHOULD be the first person to tell these types of people to fall in line, or else. Problem is we have a nice guy president, a nice guy Gm, and nice guy coach, nice guy assistant coaches and a captain that wouldn't hurt a fly. Literally. No one stands up to JV so he walks all over everyone.

Willie Mitchell would've smashed his pert head in first time he lipped off in his rookie season, and from there who knows what would've transpired. Probably would've fallen in line, or been traded but at least we would be DONE with this situation... #DRAMACOUVER it never ends...

Free agent cast offs from other teams signed for depth in case of injury. Surprise! But what we got now for fill ins. Still no word on Rodin and Hanson is just working out.

Chappy is in the good books, no fear playing hard for his career. Megna take it or leave it, but the chemistry is there.

btw who misses DD right now? I sure don't.
