Post-Game Talk: [GM39] Canucks lose to Jets | 4-7 | Miller, Studnicka, Horvat, Dries

[me2]

Yeah its time to cut bait with Bruce, this guy's 'coaching' its a joke this year.
Guy puts out the worst defensive pairings and his conclusion is 'well they tried hard'.

FOH.

When he has to ice OEL and Myers every game that's at least one, probably 2 bad pairings.

 

[racerjoe]

I don't want to sound like I am defending OEL, he has been terrible, if you don't buy him out (trading him probably just isn't an option), you have to hope that his mobility issues are just from his broken foot at the World Championships and not being able to train properly and being behind the entire season. Its really just a hope at this point in the season.

 

[canucksfan]

Major changes are needed asap or Petey is out the door.

He likely has one foot out already.

Unless a lot of buyouts occur and or they attach picks to get rid of players the team can't be improved much at all.

If the team cannot sign Kumenko I would think EP will be out.

Buying out OEL Myers Pearson Boeser and Poolman would have a $9.6m cap hit next season, down from 25.5m. free up $16m.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Yeah without saying anything that said a ton

 

[orcatown]

Goal tending in this game was not NHL standard. Just that ours was lousier than theirs. Book on Martin is obvious - glove hand high. On Delia just get your shot on net.

Big quandary on Horvat. Damned if you sign him long term to what you'll have to pay and give him the term he will want. But also damned if you're giving up a player who is outscoring near everyone over the last 80 games for less than he is likely worth. Result of lack of long term planning which is, of course, the signature feature of the dull witted Fredo years.

Good

Horvat - goal was very high level stuff.

Miller - best game in a a long time. Very committed effort.

Studnicka - worked hard throughout and led a better effort by the fourth line.

Bad

Delia - just horrible.

Martin - not much better

OEL & Myers - couldn't handle their matchup.

Boeser - should not be on the first PP. His off puck movement on offensive is very poor. More or less just watches the play and he is unprepared when he gets passed the puck.

Our goaltending is ass, Defense ass.

Bruce needs to go

 

[Zippgunn]

I bet we win now that Spencer is in.

Wrong. His sparkling .786 performance was inadequate to carry us to victory...

True, and I highly, highly doubt ownership agrees to a series of high-value buyouts. They’ll trade picks and futures all day, but cash is another matter.

You can probably trade Boeser for a low pick, hell if you are going to buy him out you might as well retain the same amount of cap and get something back.
I hope so dumb ass GM will go for Pearson in the off-season. There is one year left, there is no reason to buy him out and live with his cap for like 3 more years.
Myers should have value after bonus.
OEL.. yeah let’s buy him out.

 

[im gangster]

My dream

Who dat

 

[me2]

Who dat

Chuck Fletcher, flyers GM. Potential in their 1sts, possible lottery winners for several years

 

[RobertKron]

Geez, Delia's must have been way better.

Ohhh, lovely. Yes please. They’re like eastern conference Vancouver, except with success in the distant past.

The only way you can trade Boeser for a low pick is if you're including a high pick

Agreed on retention being the solution

 

[Zippgunn]

Well in my very humble opinion Collin Delia is at this very moment being "Skudra-ed" by this team: I predict he will not play another game in the NHL or at least certainly not with this team. He did indeed have a stinker of a game but I thought only two of the goals were "bad" goals and since this was the noon start road game on the trip you absolutely knew that a) Delia the cannon fodder would get the start and b) the team would play like total dogshit in front of him. It should be noted here that this was his FIRST game with this team where he had a less than .900 save %. Apparently Demko is along on this road trip so you know that the team will rush him back into action as soon as is humanly possible in the fervent hope that last-year Demko shows up (and not this year's Demko whose numbers are vastly inferior to both Delia's AND Martin's). I predict extremely mediocre performances from the Demko/Martin tandem and would like to wish Collin Delia the best of luck in his future endeavors which I can pretty much guarantee won't be with this franchise. This board tonight has outdone itself with superlatives such as "worst goaltending of the century" and "horrific" etc. etc. Well done folks.

We need to keep Bruce for team tank. He can go after the season

 

[604]

Guys, it's not Bruce. Not even the winningest active NHL coach could win with this group of D and G.

...

 

[VanillaCoke]

Play OEL 28 mins a game until he asks out or goes on LTIRetirement.

 

[Vector]

Unrelated to this game but speaks well of Hughes-Bear as a pairing.

 

[4Twenty]

What a disaster. Team is set up for mediocrity.

They look miles off being a contender and are bound to get worse before it gets better.

Was next season the contending year? Or the one after?

Neither look realistic.

1 year down out of a two year turn around

I really liked them today. Crazy how little they were to blame in a game where the team gives up 7.
