Like I said, I don't really know enough about him; he's big and he's a centre, all good. But is he a Martin Hanzel or a Jim Sandlak?

I just don't want where he's from to impact the decision process, and I think the Canucks let that influence their decision to take JV and not someone like Nylander or Ehlers.

- we_are_all_canucks


Agreed, but I think some on here dismiss him because he is local. I lucked out last season following his junior team as I was intrigued by Morgan Geekie, have been following that team whenever I can.
Would like Rasmussen, Geekie or Juuso Valimaki, a defenseman, from Tri-City on the Canucks. Obviously it depends who is available when we pick.

Also, he is not just a Powerplay specialist like someone on here continually tries to suggest.

There wasnt a question:



Given the discussion about Canuck coaching, you seemed to be indicating Vancouver with their same aging players might have a similar results had they pulled the trigger. The Sedin's are 36 and been top line all year, the only players over 35 on the Islanders are depth (Siedenberg and Chimera), not the same situation and would not have had the same impact

- WhiteLie



You seem obsessed about making this about the Canucks but okay then. So would a new coach be able to have done better then WD. That's the sad sack debate now.

Well whatever WD is doing it's not winning. So could someone do better? Well I guess there is plenty of room for improvement. Plus the Sedins are not the only players on the team.

To say this team can't do better coaching wise because the Sedins are on the team also presupposes how a new coach would deploy them opposed to other players.

UNSHUN....

I think it is obvious you underestimate the people in this room.... but then again... you always did.

Anyways Honeybun, this is getting close to a conversation and I don;t want you to think you deserve one of those.

Just know, EVERY blessed time you troll this room, you are not welcome.

FINAL SHUN

Major changes are coming to TSN 1040. If you could take 4 regular personalities to the new station who would it be? And one who it would definitely not be:


Bro Jake
David Pratt
Matt Sekeres
Blake Price
B-Mac
Don Taylor
The Moj
Tom Mayenknecht
Mike Halford
Jason Brough
Jon Abbott
Dave Tomlinson
Scott Rintoul (recently let go)
Peter Schaad (recently let go)

You can pick only 4 to go to the new station. 1 to never be considered.

Once Canuck fans can speak in the leafs room without Dozzer slapping an automatic 48 hour ban... for literally nothing.... (I got a ban for a smilie!) I would be happy not to police the Leaf trolls to come here freely and rudely.

Clearly you mods have significantly different standards... once too strict and one too weak and neither works.

But out of respect for you... I will let it go.

Funny. I bring up tonight's opponents. Which Carol mentioned in the blog as another team who improved after a coaching change. So it's a comparison of look it makes an impact. If you believe it doesn't okay then.

I am big fan of Shorty. Garrett ---- well, he is an entertainer first. We have been blessed with decades of great colour guys and his take is different.

I don;t know that guys name.... but who ever does the 1040 broadcasts when Shorty is not available just sucks.

- Beatle_john


Great colour guy, you on drugs bro...he's the worst homer colour guy ever, he's contributions are about kraft dinner, FFS

I was kinda talking about Tommy Larsheid. Re: Years of good colour men. Garret is way too much of a homer but he knows it and it is his schikt.

I think it has become more of "don't take him, he is a local & we tried that once in our history and that player is a bust".

The kid is 6'5" over 200 lbs. Has good hands, respected by his teammates and coaches alike.
Scored 15 of his 32 goals on power-play, is feisty when needed.

Nah... we don't want him because he isn't shiny enough for this fan base.

This fan would take him.

He may be done for season though, as he has been out several games with a wrist injury...BUST

- Reubenkincade

I would take him after top 8 If Foote is gone off the board. But there are *what look like) better options where we are likely picking.

Patrick, Hischier, Vilardi, Mittlestadt all look better and here are 2 others that are expected to be taken earlier than him.

Tolvanen before Petersson.

- we_are_all_canucks

No thanks to tolv.. we just traded for two of the same player last week.. we need a center or offensive dman in a bad way. if we go winger it better be a big guy who can put the puck in the net see tippet

I dont think foote will go top 10. If we get ras in the 7-15 range i dont care but if we take him before i wont be thrilled, unless of course he turns out

Add Pierre McGuire to the list and it's pretty much the "people I'd rather see replaced than hired again. ever." list
