It's the winning.

24.41 hits per 60 under Tocchet. Wanna guess what it was under Bruce?

Tocchet demands a standard, which you need to survive in post season. You don't need to be a great fighter, just show up. Something the Canucks have been lacking for a long time.

Stopping on pucks. Green tried to teach that but there were a few guys who weren't into it. Horvat was one of the worst for it. Skate by and wave stick at the player.

Just because you are going off for a change doesn't mean you can't retrieve the puck back for your team while doing it.

I didn't expect you to understand, that actually takes an ounce of smarts to figure it out.

I think after last week's trades and watching yesterday a cold reality came to life that when PA said there are other ways besides the draft to build a team.

You could see that Pittsburgh mindset of JR and his boy The Chipmunk is win now. I know a lot here won't be happy with that mindset, but I would start expecting this MO instead of waiting to build through the draft and rebuild.

Ya, this was the concern of a few of us, yourself included, when they 1st hired Rutherford.

Arvid Costmar's team did not make playoffs. He does need to be signed this year, if they are planning on it. Abbotsford could certainly use some help at center.

Trading Bo was needed, so far it looks good.

I'm not a huge JTM fan however he stands up when needed.

What does VAN have in Aidan McDonough?

• Deadly power-play shooter - 44% of his NCAA goals came on the PP
• Big body who gets to the middle
• Tenacious forechecker
• Lumbering stride - never to be confused with a burner
• Unknown ceiling. Could be depth. Could be 3rd line

- VanHockeyGuy


I always thought the 3rd and 4th lines were made up with “depth” players. Maybe it’s just the Canucks, but the 3rd and 4th lines are in constant flux.

Sportsnet just said that Rathbone has been praising the people in Abbotsford, loves what's going on there.

Another narrative bust.
