You're from the mat right? Info takes awhile to filter up there

Ya super slow Internet.

Sarnia had pretty piss poor coaching while Goblin was there. If I recall correctly owner Hatcher took over behind bench from Letowiski & the team was in turmoil for a few seasons.

Won't be invited back next year

I manage my pools at work obviously not on my own time. Sadly Yahoo is a blocked site

Benched to playing with Sedins. Ya i'd say JB read him the riot act. Probably confirmation of lame duck coach. Although i do agree that playing with the Sedins is more of a good will gesture than an opportunity these days unfortunately.

What is Willy thinking anyway? Expecting a rookie russian to be a complete player or develop into one in the last quarter of a meaningless season? Let the guy score goals, make mistakes, correct them ... then start searching for a AHL job ... Willie needs some time to develop into a more rounded coach

I don't think you'll see him there for long, three shifts maybe? Willie would be a decent to good coach for a veteran group, unfortunately that's not the Vancouver Canucks.

I think there will be activity this summer you can't sell this product. If your plan going forward is to have an empty building , a dull product , and minimal talent then you have the perfect team , but I don't see that as Canucks MO.

Sekeres Price Jpat and IMac were just on the 1040 and joking about how many passes Goldobin will get tonight. Someone said he will be lucky if he gets two passes. Someone else chimed in "How many passes does any player get playing with the Sedins ?"

I hate watching them play . they are slow ,ineffective , soft and selfish.

I will not spend one more penny on this club as long as they are on the team . The wife asked me the other night if wanted to buy some tickets off her friend 20 each. I told her not a chance.

There will be the traded Dman for a top 6 . I also epect Subban to be traded this year. If Canucks are going to address scoring it needs to be more than one piece to be effective.

I like Sutter calling out Goldobin . That is leadership . Much like Hansen did last year .

For those that are going to say Sutter should not be talking toughness , my reply back to you is stop looking at box scores and watch the damn game.

He won't score with the Sedins he should get a look with Horvat

Goldobin and Boeser should not play with the Sedins , they will never touch the puck

Which game? My buddy and I are planning to go to the apr 8th game. We planned it at the beginning of the season(he is an Oilers fan) and still plan to go. We would love $20 tickets.

and then begged Carol to post the results in order to build up his confidence after all of the tubby/ hefty comments lately
- CanuckDon

And told us how much he earns . Sounds a lot of small Richard syndrome right?

In this case Goldobin is better served to listen to his teammates in lieu of the coach.

Just checked, Oilers game is the last one this season(or are you talking about a past game?). If so does your friend have tickets to the last game?

Goldobin and Boeser should not play with the Sedins , they will never touch the puck
- VANTEL

Watching the PP is a joke. Edler and the Sedin's just pass it back and forth and completely ignore Boeser.

Agree Sutter brings way more than just 40 pts.

On this is why splitting them up is a good idea. Hank is still a serviceable C & without Daniel he has to play to the strengths of other wingers.

From the last blog

I don't agree with that at all. They don't "need" anything from a business financial standpoint from the Canucks. I think that was their mindset until they realized they can't make the team be competitive forever.

Smart owners will understand the process that it takes to make a team competitive. At the end of the day all that matters is winning, which won't come to Vancouver using any other method than building through the draft first and foremost. Salary cap world!

If they have some bad years, which they're going to, and are, fans will stay away, because that's how the fans of Vancouver are.

However, if they make some good picks and start to get competitive again, the fans will come back, it's happened like that for many cycles around here.

Chasing your tail to keep your fans happy is what the Leafs did for decades, they always wanted to compete, but never made as much as a Cup final. Meanwhile teams that used the draft and accepted down years kept winning Stanley Cups.
- LeftCoaster

On reading this it made total sense. IF FA is in business to make money taking it as a yearly approach will be worse & produce a lousy product longer. In the long run its prudent to do what is necessary & tear it down or the apathy will be prolonged costing more in the end.

Also about MacEwen. A player like him can score in close only if shots get thru or a C is a playmaker that gets passes thru in tight. AS of now thats not the Canucks game. He looks intriguing as a 4th liner til he can prove otherwise.


Looking ahead to this next draft & beyond speed & skill down the middle would go a long ways to create scoring & more balance. Therefore if we can get over the fact we r not a competitive team if we don't shoot for the PO's & exercise patience drafting & developing even if trades made we can keep fans interest higher than simply remaining in no mans land. Forcing Edler into a trade i see as a huge step in doing so. Top prospect or 1st this draft would be nice. If its Tanev then we ask for more. Overall our need for more young talent should be priority & we can thru it for 2-3yrs to see the fruit of the rebuild.
