4 more test positive for covid, that's 8 players. Seems like sj game will be postponed.


Just brutal. Team is on fire right now and the momentum will be curtailed.

Seems like they dodged a bullet this time, no positive cases for players. So it must be some of the staff not on the ice. King isn't going on the trip, he's 1 of the guy in protocol.

Derek Clancey hired as 1 of the assistant GM, worked with Rutherford in Pittsburgh for 7yrs. He left when Rutherford left pens. He will be in charge of player personnel. Essentially replacing Weisbrod. Huge fucking upgrade, Weisbrod was beyond useless and no one knew wtf he really did.

Just as long as the blues don't see them in the playoffs.

Too many times they've been underdogs and whooped us.

Nah, on paper the team is definitely a playoff team cuz pacific is weak. They were extremely underperforming with the current roster (.300 comparable to Arizona) , and now they're just playing as expected. 5 wins in a row, but they're all close 1 goal games and 2 shootout wins.

Also helps that myers is benefitting the most from BBQ system. 25toi,62%corsi,1sog,2hit,1ga,2ta. He isn't getting the points, but he contributed to ton of goals because of him during this 6 game win streak. Like tonight he back checks and takes the puck away to start the rush and dump it in the corner for Miller, to Pearson to boeser for the goal.

Pearson is the new loui Eriksson, dude can't finish anymore lmao. At least he's a very fucking good little things Eriksson, pb&j are dominating so hard and most of it is cuz of his elite board battles and passes. Kinda funny how Pearson and Horvat meshed well together but away from each other they're both excelling.

What Aquilini wants, beyond simply more Ws, is a new culture throughout the organization. He wants Rutherford to create a top-end franchise with an identity of which the players and employees are proud. He also wants to build a team that is progressive and celebrates diversity.

To that end, the Canucks could be bringing in a woman at the managerial level, possibly as an assistant to the new general manager for which Rutherford is currently hunting. Some of the names I’ve heard mentioned include Angela Ruggiero, a former U.S. Olympian, Jayna Hefford, also a former Olympian and chair of the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association, and Jen Botterill, a former Olympian and now broadcaster who may be the front-runner.



Motte can't catch a break... He's in covid protocol.

Bowey called up from AHL. Fucking hilarious how the Canucks d was already thin to begin with but with Poolman, Hamonic, Schenn, Rathbone, Hunt, Keeper, brisebois out.. We are resorting to like 15th option lmfao. Itll be a win if leafs don't score like 10 goals taking advantage of AHL tier pairings.
