Bruce is retarded.

Scratch Garland when you have Lazar, Aman and Joshua (even Pearson or Hoglander) in your lineup.

Burroughs decision was dumb too, he played 24 mins just last night LOL how can you go from top RD to scratch when you weren't even bad?


Definitely should've scratched boeser or hogs over him, Pearson and Lazar have been solid af.

Burroughs got kuznetsov'd in the face with that nasty slash, hes a tough son of a bitch, but i think bruce just gave him a night off to recover.

After that wrap around goal, it was ggnore. Petey was gased, Stillman fucked that up real bad, more so than Martin.

Rutherford also says, " I'm not totally surprised at what's happening. I've talked about this since I came to Vancouver and what I've seen with his team: We have good players here, but how do you become a winning team? It's about playing the game the right way and playing with good habits."

Lol, hes hilarious. Like bo horvat hilarious.

Proceeds to sign Miller and working on an extension with horvat.

All talk, no action.

Just like horvat after the losses, we gotta be better... Remember this feeling... Etc. Always repeating the same shit every season for the past few yrs. Goldfish memory team? Lol bunch of all talks. Can show in the game instead, idgaf if the Canucks lose 9-7 or something, at least make it entertaining. Instead of, oh no.. They scored a goal on us when we are winning... Let's give up and make it easier and play half assed now lmao

You know what I find hilarious?

JR and Alvin comes in, throws shade at the previous regime for being directionless and locking themselves to long term deals and such. So what did they do so far? Pretty much cosplay Benning.

- overpay for one of top UFA available (Mikheyev)
- trade away a 2nd (Benning special) to gain roughly 1mil cap by dumpimg Dickinson who played with am undiagnosed broken hand and Stillman (let the revolving door dmen begin)
- extend boeser and Miller, and trying to extend horvat (after mentioning the core/room being country club and changes are needed)

What's their direction? Copy Benning? :rofl:

The direction is entropy, apparently. If the intent is to win now they needed to have made 1-2 bold trades. Instead they kept the roster as is with a few garbage in-out signings, complete with a big UFA overpay like how Ferland was. So it's trending that way. To go full Benning they need to piss away picks for marginal players, keep overpaying UFAs then make a big trade for an albatross.

Jim is an old dog and Allvin doesn't seem to have much of a spine, they were probably fooled by the good stretch under BB even though there was a lot of unsustainable shit going on. The team has shown its true colors many times over yet Aquaman and his hires keep focusing on glimpses instead of what they see most of the time.

It's crazy how Treveling had the rug swept from under him and he managed to salvage the Flames in short notice. This front office had months to make their moves, everyone thought they'd pull something off but it was all the same song and dance.

It's really strange because everything they've said and shown so far suggests that they know what the issues are and they are a competent group but yeah, when it comes to the actual roster transactions it's hard to even tell that management was overhauled.

It's still early, and I'm willing them to give the benefit of the doubt for now as I did with early Benning but with the contracts that were signed this summer, they've pretty much locked themselves into this roster and core and it'll take a lot of asset bleeding to get out of it.

Hoglander sent down but apparently just for roster reasons, Juulsen called up again.

Hughes might be injured. Looks like Rathbone will get his chance either way tonight.
