Again, if you weren’t smart enough to recognize that cross border travel for professional sports teams wasn’t going to be an option, you probably shouldn’t have been in charge of a $700m company

IIRC, the Leafs started the season with 13 in 25 days, although they only had 1 back to back, which was different from the amount of back to back that Canucks endured early in the season.
I wasn't expecting much this season, due to the bad off-season the team had, I was expecting to see a bit more playing time for some of the young players.
I am sure if they didn't go on that little spurt around game 36, where they won several games, we would have got to see more from the young ones.

The Stanley Cup champions?

"But they were compliant." - is that new material??

We’ve been hearing for three years how fast the guys on the team are. I don’t buy your “western style”.

Also, playoffs concluded Sept 28. New season started what, Jan 19th or something? That’s a bit more than 3 weeks…

Aren't smart enough? I don't even know if they knew they were going to have a 2021 season.

Every GM was waiting to see what was going to happen.

I love your fresh new takes

But they were preparing as if there was.

Anyway, I have no idea why you or anyone else is still making excuses. Jim has already acknowledged that this past season is on him. He took responsibility at his season ending presser, even if he maybe didn’t copp to everything, he did say it was his job to lead and he didn’t get the job done.

Not arguing . I was just going to say the say thing, this horse is dead enough no use beating it more .

A few of you have your opinion and then there's us , the ones that are correct

I was going to make a joke about the old guy on the news tonight but there are some sensitive types in here and I wouldn’t want to offend.

Two guys trying to make a big hit on Raantanen both end up out of position and a glorious scoring chance. Pretty sure that’s not how to play D

I am beginning to think there are more than one or two old farts in here now not only me.


How old is Ruby he said the other day he has followed the Canucks 50 years

Whitecloud and Timmons would be our teams best defenseman. Both solid young players.

Yeah, he’s old, same with Nighty, but they aren’t Vancouver guys.

Man Colorado is looking good. The pace

Oh, I didn't realize he was from Manitoba. I take everything I said back.

Vegas has 5 players from MB on the team.

55. I think VHG is in his 60s and Nighthawk close to 60. A few are around my age.

Cmon .

Name one other team that had to play 1/4 of their schedule three time zones away ?

How many teams played 13 games in 26 nights to start the season? In that time they had two road trips.


When all things are equal among all 31 teams then excuses have no place but if you are at a disadvantage that not one other team had then it is an issue.

Good facts bro 👍

Too bad it will be called an excuse or ignored. It’s to be expected.

I wanted Timmons over Lind.

As bad as a year that it was I was glad to watch them. I did turn off two brutal games but other than that I watched.
