GDT: Around The League 24/25. Parity, blessed parity.

Told Nucks fans years ago, that EP40 wasn't their version of McDavid, he's their version of Nuge.

Too bad they paid him like their version of McDavid though. If only they listened to me.

They wish EP was like nuge. He is a great teammate and dealt with the decade of darkness, EP publicly demanded Canucks be competitive or he would leave as a UFA, total opposite.

I agree. Does anything the team asks of him. PK, PP, 2-3C, Top6Wing. Never complained through any assignment. Never complained through the dark days and the good. Never any drama. Never any sad face. Can and will actually fight for the honor of the crest and win. Still put up a single 100 pt. season just like EP40. But instead of being paid a crippling 11.6M he took a nice discount for us at 5M. And this is why Nuge Slander is, was, and will always be dumb to me.

we are 11-4 in the last 15 games you'd think we would not be up by more than 4 pts from being out of the playoffs. I have always hated the loser point and I think I am going to hate it even more this year

Tochett really feels like a coach who isn’t going to have a long shelf life within dressing rooms.

There’s a time and place for a coach to drag players after a loss. Tocchet seems to do it every time I listen to a post game interview from him. Feels like he’s missing the part where you have your guys’ backs. It’s always about how the players aren’t doing what the coaches are telling them to do.

Sometimes a head coach should be taking the heat for the players.

Tocchet is the type of leader that would have got shot in the back by his own men in ww1.

This is the 2024 NHL. The cap and game management means any team can beat any other team in any given game. If you throw your players under the bus after every random loss there is no question you will lose the room sooner than later. Timing is everything.

People said the Pacific was looking weak to start the year, but it's looking pretty strong atm.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Yeah you milk those welfare points Canucks! See if it actually gets you places.

Gary will never change this artificial parity garbage. Brings more fans in for longer. Gives more "hope"
