The process - VANTEL
We really need to trust the science from this very diverse new MNGT group. Eventually it will all trickle down to the players.
Patience.

Honestly, I see Boudreau lasting this season and the next then being canned, he's just another Torts (but not as controversial or fiery) that FA brought in to try and squeeze out a playoff run for this season. It'll ultimately fail, but there it is. - DariusKnight
Thought about the Boudreau situation as well. Even if the Nucks miss this year (odds are they will) the record under Boudreau with a Benning built roster is impressive so far. A full year under BB and they 'should' be easily in the PO's...but stranger things have happened...

Didn’t like EP’s effort on the lone goal at all. Hughes also sucks at defending odd man rushes - Nucker101
Nobody looks good giving up what is essentially a short handed goal. Horvat didn’t even move when he turned it over. |

Boudreau said he wouldn't throw any single player under the bus but he criticized the entire team for their effort, taking their opponent too lightly, being too casual and just expecting to win by showing |

Team definitely should have found a way to get points last night. Nightmare scenario for the playoff odds. |

To be fair, when you’re between the dots and turn the puck over and it’s already outside your zone going the other way you can’t actually get back in time to stop an original shot, but they might not score on the first chance so you better (frank)ing get on your horse. |

On Conor Garland....
Hearing Boston has serious interest...He could be moved...
On Brock Boeser...
The Penguins REALLY want him. He would be dangerous in Pittsburgh.
Ek has the blow up starting. Canucks need to drop at least 8 spots before the draft. |

Biggest problem about this young Canucks team is "are you getting it?" It seems a lot of the time the Canucks players are last to react to going for the puck most nights. |

Nedeljovkic .885 vs rest of NHL and .990 vs the Canucks now or something.
Can't win them all. Just too bad Canucks dug themselves the hole they did at the start of the year.
They are still 9th in points percentage since Bruce took over. Hard to ignore the success of a team that is still relatively young. |

Yeah, last night I was watching and thinking Boudreau needs to do more peewee style battle drills in practice, because it didn’t matter if it was 2-3 or 3-2 the Wings always came up with the puck. |

It just feels like it would be fitting for the team to squeak into the playoffs given how massive of a turnaround they've had. Be a real kick in the nuts to miss by a couple of points, which is what seems to be the likely outcome right now |

Allvin was talking the other week about wanting to see consistency from the team. I'm sure there will be some shake ups at some point, but these slow starts and lack of motivation are going to get players moved sooner rather than later.
Difficult week for management ahead. |

These morons should make a trade. Why the (frank) is Brock still here! We need benning to send a fax to every team outlining which garbage scraps are for sale. |

It’s always been the likely outcome, being so far back with more games played. Sure it would be nice to make the playoffs, but all 82 games count. |

If the Canucks got in, I don't think Colorado would care but wouldn't be happy to be playing a top 10 team in the league in the first round. |

At this point the #3 spot in the Pacific seems more likely than the WC2 spot |

Oilers are .590
Dallas are .585
It's a pretty good toss up. Rather play LA then Colorado though |

Needs top 6 minutes on the right line. Was on pace for 55 points before Boudreau buried him in the bottom 6 - LordHumungous
He’s out of here before opening night next season. |
