Covid disruption & injuries & no training camp made it difficult.

No matter what you do you are going to have people here and social media complain. Stop trying to fix that and let them whine.

OEL is better than Edler and Poolman is better than Chatfield. Concentrate on the actual hockey and don't get caught up in the daily bullsh1t . This is a better team this year and hopefully the coaching is better also

If canucks play the season and end up with a similar record/divisional position as they did last season, will the whining still be considered bullpoop?

We could win a Stanley Cup and the whining would still continue.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion . If you or anyone want to b1tch about the team before seeing them play , go ahead.

I think Aquilini told him to clean up the mess because marketing what was there would have been impossible, but if this team starts looking similar to last year I don't think he will hesitate in firing JB, so either way there should be less whining.

I think Hughes Hamonic is likely. I think Green will probably want to start with OEL and Myers, which will probably be tragic. So maybe you’re right, OEL Poolman and he is up in the 18-20min range.

This is pretty accurate . I think it is a short line with JB. No room for failure.

The thing I like so far is the toughness on the D . It looks like a D that will jump in and fight.


I am also looking forward to the new kids Pods and Klimovich. He looks like he has a little Raffe Torres mixed with very decent shot.

Then again he could be a Cedarholm

I'd agree about the short guys, but Hog and Garland seem to play bigger than their size: hard on pucks, go to the dirty areas, etc. They're probably feistier and meaner than Bo is

Hughes, Hamonic, Myers = same

OEL for Edler - probably a minor improvement offensively and a wash defensively.

Nobody replacing Schmidt.

Depth signings is probably a plus.

Honestly, I think coaching will have more impact than personnel.

The I am a fan but hate this or that is a veil to hide fragile egos and insecurities. Thinking its cooler to slurp hate 24/7 shaking their whiner pom poms.

But who cares the entertainment following the team is worth it.

I don't go that deep into it.

Everyone has the right to an opinion. The choice to read it or not is my right.

Simple as that for me.

And if the play at the end of the season is improved, will all the whining still be considered valid...yeah thought so.

There are several here that complain about the team non stop, and then they complain non stop about people that call them whiners. So is this new whining complaints a badge of honor.

Even the most vocal poop disturbers have nice things to say. There are some Pom-pomers who can’t handle someone who says some nice things and some not nice things.

Not pointing at you, just commenting in general. More directed at twitter.

I think it’s the absolutes that people seem to be willing to “die” for that aggravates people. Intelligent, compassionate, well reasoned folk like you and I are perfectly capable of recognizing when we’re wrong about something, while still beating our own personal drums.

I don’t follow him, of listen (I actually have no idea if he has a podcast or what he’s doing), someone else liked or retweeted. But yes, apparently he is still alive and kicking and talking Canucks.
