That stupid goalie goal only happens becuase if that idiotic play that we STILL DO

You have the winger stand at the blueline and you pass the puck as hard as you can and they tip it in……….. but the winger is stand still, so no forcheck.

How have we still not ditched that shit that started under Travis Green

You have had countless hockey analysts imploring us to ditch it.

The same reason we continue to do that infuriating back pass on the PP…..

A perfect game IMHO. We lose in reg, Silovs plays a .941 game, the other goalie scores a goal (always cool IMHO) and Marchand scores to re-open all those wounds from 2011 that torture so many souls out there who insist that WE actually won that Cup and the refs blah blah blah. Also, everybody better sit down... Myers was one of only 2 Canucks to be a + despite playing almost half an hour. If only we could get him to do that every night...

Drance is BY Far the worst Canucks media member in a long time. He also said it was colossal mistake to not trade Kuzmenko at "peak-value".

Content, delivery, personality... just gross on all accounts.
I don’t know if he’s the worst but there really aren’t good ones.

He’s taken the Botchford role but he’s nowhere near as good at it. He takes an extreme position and defends it to the death. Works well when everything is complete shit and no decent moves are being made but you look embarrassing when complaining about things that are good moves (or nothing moves).

Botchford was passionate but fair... he was usually right in his takes anyway. The Jim Benning era was truly one of the worst eras ever. He was going against the grain while everyone was still deluded from the shiny toys in Petey and Hughes. He had every right to be as pissed off as he was.

Drance is just an echo chamber of eternal pessimism. The way he talks about the Canucks and sports in general... I'm not sure this guy's ever played any sort of organized sports in his life. Him constantly rambling on the radio about how "JT MILLER CANT PLAY CENTRE" and "KUZMENKO NEEDS TO BE TRADED AT PEAK VALUE" is honestly so tiring.

Yep. That’s the difference. Botchford wasn’t pessimistic to be pessimistic but because pessimism was the correct take. But he’d acknowledge the good. Drance is just stuck in pessimism.

What fresh and encouraging opinions you have. When I think about it, you and Imac really have a great deal in common. I've actually never seen anyone say the Canucks won the cup anywhere before. It's that creative perspective that everyone else seems to lack. Kudos
