Every year it was the same , win the 1st 2-3 games then after their coach makes his adjustments they go 3-4 wins with no answer by AV.
Yr 1 Canucks win games 1 & 2 hawks go 4 straight
Yr 2 canucks win games 1& 2 hawks go 4 straight
(At this point it's obvious AV learned nothing yet)
Yr canucks win games 1,2 & 3 hawks win next 3 and push game 7 to OT.

This is a pattern of coaching. AV gets schooled frequently .
Yr 3 AV threw his hands up in OT and handed it over to newel brown. The play worked thankfully

AV doesn't make changes it's why he gets schooled over n over. His record vs the hawks shows this

Canucks were not up 2-0 nor lost 4 straight in either 2009 or 2010.

Not exactly.

08-09 canucks went W, L, W, L, L, L
09-10 canucks went W, L, L, L, W, L
10-11 canucks went W, W, W, L, L, L, W

In 08-09 and 09-10 the hawks finished ahead of the canucks in the regular season and were the favourites going into both series.

10-11 the canucks finished ahead of the hawks in the regular season and were favorites going into the series.

It kind of went as scripted. I think your hatred for AV has clouded your memory.

Thank you. I'm slow on the keys.

I think Dragon's confused those years with the 01-02 canucks series with Detroit. Canucks up 2-0 and then lost four straight. The famous "beach ball" incident happened in that series.

Not sure why it was AVs fault. He had just been fired from Montreal and he hadn't landed his job in the QMJHL yet. His stink is far reaching I guess.

I wonder if we will ever see that great rivalry between the nucks and hawks again? That was hell living through it but enjoyable to think back on.

We can't talk Sedin history without including Chicago's (and Boston's) impact on their playing careers.
- bloatedmosquito

That was a great rivalry, I'd love to see the teams rekindle that intensity. I think they're a few years away from it though.

I don’t even think they are that small, to be honest. Benning went full Neil Armstrong this summer. You can argue over the cost, or whether the players can meet expectations, but few hockey teams make as many significant changes in a single offseason as the Canucks just did.
- CubanBuffet

Fair enough. I thought there would be maybe 2 FA signings but not 4 but it is what it is. I don't view Benn as a 'big' signing in that sense but Myers, Ferland and Miller are pretty significant. I guess my 'small' moves comment was aimed at where we would hopefully move up in the standings. If we get to 91 pts and just miss I'll still consider that an improvement.

Lots of Sportsnet panic and criticism because JB wouldnt promise the playoffs this season in his interview yesterday or was it the day before? Podcast.. The narrative evolved after only a couple of hours when I listened to a later segment. "He did all this and he doesnt think its a playoff team?".

JB is better off being vague like this.

lol Benning aint stupid

Cloutier!!

Yes, but one of those hawk teams was a Cup team; 09-10.

That 08-09 year we lost to them wasn't a big shocker. Hawks went on to lose to Detroit, who lost to Pittsburgh in the cup final.

Now feel free to blame AV for losing the cup final in 10-11 but losing those Blackhawk series isn't on AV.

Don't forget this guy's great games in Boston

I wonder if dragon’s going to own his mistake or just dismiss it and call me out for being mean.

Better yet, maybe he’ll send Vantel after me.

Vantel, I’m ready for you brother!

Caufield will be a sniper for sure, think Alex DeBrincat (maybe not as feisty).

Lazy comparable IMO, I think DeBrincat has more going for him.

Just like the numbers from the shootings last week? Nah, he'll just argue against the world then not show up for four days and pretend like nothing ever happened.

Boqvist will be a 3Rd pairing offensive dman at best. Similar to Juolevi

Bouchard
Boqvist

in 4 years they'll have to pay the next ridiculous RFA value.

And that's when Bo's contract expires. Would be nice to stagger them. When do his RFA years end?

Why do people defend bullpoopers?

Oh believe me I get it but, after this many years, it's obviously not working. And the rest of us are suffering far greater pain.

The only option, Pettersson is a great player but not anywhere near a leader, FFS he's a pretty boy with a pretty boy attitude.

Horvat is a man with proven leadership skills, and he will be the captain.
