You can ask anyone with half a brain in here, I'm not doom and gloom at all and probably one of the more positive people in here.

Donna wouldn't be the person to ask btw.

He is not far off with his comments.

It is an easier schedule for sure. I think he is looking at it from an open mind and not just happy about the results like most of the fan base. We have seen it before, and I see some improvement this time around.

I will side with Mini on this. I think all he is saying is don't get fooled by the numbers and keep an open mind.

Still more changes coming in the summer though.

If he improves his faceoff percentage, he could even move up a line.

Apparently him and Joshua hang out together, they have good chemistry.

Makes sense why you would be in love with the Bruce bump last season and think that it was sustainable.

Any moron can watch a game, just look at Donna. Doesn't mean they know (frank) all.

Guy needed help with how the draft lotto works. Pretty damn easy but was simply too complicated for him.

You are such a (frank)ing loser cookie boy. You don’t watch the team but spend 90% your waking hours on Canuck blogs. Get a (frank)ing like you sad sack of sh!t

I like what their doing, they have some direction now these young guys never had any and the drama didn’t help, hopefully the drama is over.

The improvements are minor. Getting regular goaltending. PK isn't as atrocious as it was to start the season. Even if you get all this all season, still a team right now with their improved play that would be fighting for a wild card spot.
- manvanfan

I see some improvements in roster, systems, and in goaltending, but I agree with what you are saying.

Fans are excited right now because of hope. Until the numbers do change and until they are a playoff team, they are not one. Simply put until next year's results are in we will debate until the cows come home if they are better or not.

Like I said I expect big change this summer. PA said he expects not only does he expect to make the playoffs next year he expects to compete in the playoffs. This years team is not even close to that mark so let's see what lies up ahead.

Good comments. You do have to remember though we have seen this same show over and over and the results have never been good. I do feel we are getting close.

Yes...yes we are all aware of the water wars to come. But do us all a favour and post this crap in the politics thread where it belongs. So we can get the 'hot take' from all the climate 'experts' in there.

19 games under Tocchet now.

5-4 in xGF% against playoff teams. (3-6 actual record) 7-3 xGF% vs non playoff teams. (7-3 actual record)

20 minutes a night of Hronek will go a long ways to making this team better.

Teams pretty fragile still, one wrong move in the off season and could be looking at another top 10 draft pick until the end of the season push

This is pretty funny coming from a guy who can't resist a political comment.
The article had nothing to do with climate

change, and everything to do with water distribution, but as I expected, you are to fu cken stupid to understand.


See you all in a week.

No matter what move they make, half will like it, half won't.

This is Canuck fan base we are used to the bubble push at the end of the year.

The top guys are doing what they are supposed to be doing, it has been the rest of the roster and the D where the issue was. They are improving is all I can say for now. Sit back, enjoy the hockey and see what the summer brings.

ESPN was saying last president trophy winner to win the cup was Blackhawks in '12-13. Shortened season.

OH NO! 1 game out of 82 is amazing.

Were talking about recent hot streak, not the whole season. Really cute that you changed it cause you literally have no logical ground to stand on though, i like that.
