Always hear about how tight-knit the locker room is.

"Can't trade Raymond, he's too important in the locker room"

"Can't trade Bieksa, he's too important in the locker room"

Seems like they might be just content having a close bunch of friends playing together all with NTCs. Nobody from the core has been shipped out, they probably don't feel pressure from that angle.

Watching the semi-finals and finals this year, makes it obvious that the Canucks are a giant step behind these teams.

I know it kind of sounds stupid when pretty much the same group of guys were 1 win away from the Cup just two years ago, but I think we can all agree looking back now, it was just the result of almost everyone having a career year and very favorable matchups in the first 3 rounds.

was because AV never said much in the locker room. He left it up to the players.

Yeah, a few of the leaders said that they liked the way he didn't really say much to them 'cause they were a veteran group and could handle themselves.

So if Torts is more "hands-on" or barks at 'em more than AV, he'll motivate them or just totally lose the room... I'm guessing the latter lol.

Gonna be entertaining, though
