Post-Game Talk: [GM 16] Canucks lose to Bruins | 2-5 | Miller & Dries

[Kryten]

Well we proved one thing tonight….

All the Canucks are AJ Greer’s bi$&@“s

Kuzmenko is probably not happy with the lack of response

 

[Bobby9]

I’ll say it again and again.

The team making the playoffs during the bubble was the worst thing that could of happened to this organization.

Gave a fall sense of success and the ownership ran with it.

 

[Melvin]

Yep. Said it at the time

It was used as an excuse by a stupid, selfish pos GM to go all in after a once in a lifetime "stars lining up moment" of all of these players have career years and being carried by basically the most OP goaltender seasons imaginable - the sum of EVERYTHING lining up was BARELY enough to get into fake playoffs.

It's disgusting that Benning leveraged our future even more with the OEL shit. Absolute poison pill contract.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

How about Horvat and Kuzmenko for Forsberg.

Nashville says no you would have to think, right?

Might be obvious , but I’m not good at appraising trade value.


I guess answers will vary because the Question mark of Kuzmenko

Well one of them was a healthy scratch on the worst team in the NHL so …

 

[DFAC]

We are so screwed long term with the Miller and OEL deals…. There’s not even an end in sight

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

Pettersson and Horvat are probably gone at this rate, not locked up. Not sure if Hughes and Demko are quite viewed as the cornerstone pieces they were in the past.

You got Miller and OEL well locked up though.

 

[M2Beezy]

Man did Gillis screw this team up... cant believe the cupboards were left empty...

 

[timw33]

They are awful but got Mackinnon on a long long deal contract on a down year then proceeded to just draft decently and dumped all the others around: Stastny, Duchene, Shattenkirk, etc

This is why I'm just not confident that Pettersson is going to be around for the next iteration of the Canucks—they failed to get him under contract for 7/8 years and he's going to have one foot out the door going into next year.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Not a time to be precious about any player on this roster. Truly should be no untouchables at this point.

The good young players on this team are too jaded/tainted from the last several years that a full reset may be required.

I really dont see how any other conclusion can be reached at this point.
It's the vastly most likely reality coming up soon.

Several top players clearly want out of this mess they've endured for years and years, and the others aren't really anything special.

 

[EpochLink]

After this road trip, Bruce is gone.
Can we let go of Bruce’s coaching staff too? I don’t want to see Jason Kings obese fat ass any longer.

 

[LordBacon]

Man did Gillis screw this team up... cant believe the cupboards were left empty...

Yeah f*** that guy.
Only thing he left was an elite team.
But anyone can build that easily I mean come on.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

those are culture carrying 1 D and C to you, pal

 

[M2Beezy]

Yeah f*** that guy.

It took Benning only 8.5 years to correct the mistakes made by Gillis. Bennings actions are why today we are EASILY a top 30 team with a top 30 prospect pool

 

[Breakers]

I was on board with with firing boudreau

but then I thought about last season and changed my mind and that stupid winning streak raising expectations

I say stay with him
No more of this placebo effect Bull/sh!t

 

[MS]

So, yeah.

Team is absolutely broken. Even the guys who started the season well are now falling off, and the team is legitimately bad.

Boudreau situation is ridiculous. Guy is lost and has been flailing all year. His only two things are to shake up the lines literally every night and run through the list of inexperienced players to bench while none of the actual problem players face any consequences. The coaching this team is receiving looks identical to Green last year, and obviously the players are mostly identical and failing in the same ways.

Major changes have to come after the Buffalo game.

Curious what do you consider major changes

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Curious what do you consider major changes

What I want: New owner, new arena, new team name, new jerseys, new management, new coaches, new players, new prospects, new training facility, new team forums, new DJ, new mascot, new fans, new broadcast partners

What I expect: Bear getting scratched for Stillman.

 

[MS]

Boudreau has to go, like, yesterday. This situation with a coach management obviously doesn't want and criticizing him through the media is just totally dysfunctional. It's Burke-Keenan all over again.

And some of the problem players have to start moving out. Myers, Boeser, Pearson. Miller probably can't be traded, certainly not mid-season.

 

[tantalum]

Had a pleasant evening tonight not watching Canucks hockey…

 

[RutherPlan]

I'm not sure what happened to Boudreau this season, last year he was extremely engaged and dialed in, this year he forgets to shave every morning.

I'm on top 5 pick wagon for this season, if they aren't on a playoffs spot by Thanksgiving, then they only have 15% chance of making it to the playoffs. Quite frankly, this is one draft that is worth to tank, the top 4 are franchise turning players.

If that happens this year, it will likely happen again next year.

Horvat doesn’t want to be a part of a rebuild. We don’t really have the capspace to sign an adequate replacement for him if they plan on re-signing Kuzmenko, Bear, Schenn, Burroughs.

Think about that. This bad team does not have the capspace to be equally bad next year.

 

[beachcomber]

Unless there is new ownership nothing will improve.

I take it you had an even more pleasant evening watching the Leo's/Bombers? :-p.

:-(. #MeToo

I just turned off my illegal stream after we went down by 2 and watched a hallmark christmas movie on the W network with the wife. It was a shit film but oh well.
