Good one. Kind of what I was saying to Booner last night, the winning streak is awesome but there’s still some underlying issues that need to be resolved. I’m glad JR recognizes that and is not fooled by the recent success.

Good read on Rutherford.

Just finished reading it & was about to post the link. It definitely feeds the narrative.

JR is definitely a narrative filled whiner.

Did anyone read this story?! Crazy poop.

What? You are the only one who dumps on Horvat and wants to trade him.
- bloatedmosquito

Never once did I mention trade Bo just want him to play tough Hockey and act like a Captain. It's called leadership...

Also *FIXED*

This is exhausting.

Ok, then who are the people who want Horvat traded? Maybe Donnie, but he wants everyone gone except Miller so he doesn’t count.

Doesn’t matter either way, but most here wanted change at the management level and they got their wish. All is good, yet some of you guys are still hung up on this whiner kick. It’s a bit tiresome. Got any new material?

He's not technically and neither is Pettersson.

Problem is only one spot is open in the top 6 and Pearson has seized the opportunity good on him. Long term however Petey will need top 6 minutes and PP1 time to succeed. Calling him out in the bottom 6 ain't gonna work although it did for Hogs and Pods lol. Once Brock is back full time will be interesting to see how Boudreau handles it if the team hit's a little diversity in the schedule and injuries.

But yes Garland is technically top 6 and his PPG suggests that but Boudreau is trying to diversify the top 9 the best he can and it's been working so far.

It is frustrating to see players turn away from easy hits. No need to run the guy but some contact should be made. and as I think we should trade Bo as he turns away from making a hit, I start thinking about what we are lacking, what we need, I am reminded by the commentator on the number of face offs Horvat takes, leading the league.

Rutherford talks about where he wants to see the team improve and where change is needed, makes me wonder how much freedom the new gm will have? If you are the gm is it either the owner telling you what you can and can't do or it's the team pres?


I'm expecting a big shuffle of personnel at some point. We have either Miller, who will need a new contract soon, or EP as our 1st line center, neither seem to be a true center, and some decision has to be made with Boeser and his next qualifying offer $$$.

Enjoying the run with Boudreau and a more engaged style of play.

I never mentioned Petey. Can still see that whether the Canucks win or not, some will whine no matter.

Team is starting to look like what I remember Bruce had in Minny. I don't think going to see too many super great individual performances too often.

Why is every question or discussion of a player considered a "whine"?

Gordie Howe hattrick for Pearson tonight.
- VANTEL

They need to change the name of that. Didn't gordie Howe only do it twice in his entire career?

Chaos Giraffe looking like an AHL bottom pair player on both those goals. Hope he just had a down game, cause that was ugly.

I just hope it isn't what happened to Loui after signing his deal, and just a funk.

Either way Rutherford won't wait forever.
- VanHockeyGuy

It isnt "Louiizm" as the age and type of player are different. However the appearent lack of hustle and strength on his skates raises questions to his compete level in my eyes. I have maintained that he isnt my type of star player to build around.

As a forward Bo has the third most hits on the team (7th overall), only Miller and Dickinson have more. IMO, the Canucks have not been strong on the forecheck for years so it’s kept the forward hit totals down. With a more aggressive style in play I think you’ll see those numbers rise steadily.
