Two kit:
“That was bad tonight, that was bad.” “Soft. You hate to call your team soft, but that was soft tonight.” He also said "I don't know what to say."

2 games in rofl

lol, lmao even

why are all Canadian teams trash?

Not sure, but canucks are bad because we got a dumbass owner who is a terrible person in general, abusing his employees, kids, and short sighted to make any decent decisions. Then we got a 74 yr old president of hockey ops who contradicts himself and says whatever is on his mind, throwing tantrums like he's 10. A puppet GM that seems to be only confident in announcing trades, call-ups, injuries. A 60% win NHL coach replaced by a 40% win coach cos coaching was the issue, not the players el oh el. 2 games in and toookit is speechless at least with Bruce, win or lose it's high scoring for both sides. Unlike tonight's game, the Canucks imitated Chicago from the other night and let Seattle finally win against us.

we played pretty solid for once vs Cbus, not just 1 guy carrying the team but there was some signs of structure.

OEL was so fucking bad though, like half the chances against it was either him laying down the rep carpet or a result of him taking a bad penalty. fucking hire a United Nations thug to break his knees so he can LTIRetire.

don't get fooled by beating teams like chicago/cbj, not even close to anything meaningful sadly.
I think this team's future will heavily depend on Horvat's return, and/if Alvin can manage to trade Boeser, Myers, and other guys for adjustments. Apparently Demko's name popped up, i dont mind trading him if the return is insane as well.

Lol geeez the media and some fans are a bit too much, I get the Canucks are a joke these days but trashing on Mikheyev's decision to play or the team allowing it etc. Is a bit too much. Literally the definition of a hot hockey market.

To the point he has to explain himself further to calm ppl down


"I understand there is a lot of debate about my decision to play with an ACL injury. Here are the facts: when I was injured in the preseason, I went through several tests and realized I could play without causing any more damage. That’s what I wanted to do."

"Twice per week, we consulted with team doctors about how things were progressing. Never did I feel pressure, never did I feel worse. It was my decision. Finally it reached a point where I wanted to be ready on time for next year."

"If I continued to play, I wouldn’t be ready for training camp. I appreciate everyone’s concern, but I have no complaints with the way this was handled."

Amazing what he did so far while not being 100%, but I can only imagine how much worse or a joke it woulda been if alvin signed him to the hefty contract and he would instantly go on ltir and sit out the season lmao. I definitely would've trashed alvin for that

Lane Pederson claimed by Columbus off waivers


Likely a fringe NHL player at best, but still. He was going to get some time on the top line.

2 hooking penalties. First one was pretty soft, but in general hooking calls are born out of laziness and poor positioning. Can't be having that.

I mean CBJ were basically zombies on skates the way they played, but the team has blown so many leads from running around like headless chickens. so it was good to see the team play some structure instead.

put him on a contender and see how much more nuts he would be.

he's doing this with loldefense core. I hope Alvin finds him a RHD partner to play together for years to come instead of making him play with 3rd pairing dmen at best for rest of his career.
He's ppg +9 on a -28 deficit team, while morrissey who finally found his groove is a norris contender is +4 and on a team that's +27 lol. +/- don't mean fuck all, but canucks gets caved in when hughes aint on the ice.
