Injuries have definitely played a part in their recent demise, but so has the better teams starting to get going. The first month was entertaining though!

Pettersson seems to be worn out already, damn that kids good but he's not creating like he was at the beginning of the year.

Koodo is an excellent choice if you are within 100 feet of their tower you cheap bastard

Their coverage is sh1tty

When we had them their coverage was crap. But you still are a cheap bastard

Scoring early goals and goalies allowing less weak goals helped win games earlier in the year.

So he could play... Granlund and Gaudette.. more..?

Sort of in a pickle there!

The October Glee Club were warned that reality was staring them down. Some of us were called bad fans and haters.

Ok, I'll say it.....the Canucks are poorly coached. Yes they're not a very talented team but they play poor systems hockey.

Much like WD, Green hasn't had much to work with. Not citing injuries, schedule or goaltending but this team would be equally bad even when healthy for the most part. It was only a matter of time.

Skinner is on fire for Buffalo, they good now

And Ek has Skinner being traded!!!

Nice...took us ten years to shed the Burrows/Kesler image now we are right back at it.

F**cking unreal.

I can see Skinner being traded . If he goes to Free Agency looking for 9 mil maybe Buffalo will trade him.

Winning is fun but money can buy you more fun.

Funny, as in strange, I just saw the posts on cell companies, I just switched to Koodo three days ago and told telus to go pound sand. Telus owns Koodo but the wouldn't match their 50 dollar a month plan for unlimited nationwide talk & text with 2GB data.

They said the best we can do is your (my) 50 dollar BYOD + 30 dollars for 3GB data = 80 plus tax.....(frank)in idiots!!!

Public Mobile is also owned by Telus (they bought it a couple years back). No office, no staff, no apps. You buy 1-3 months in advance. It’s the cheapest I have found. BUT, no international service other than the States, so you would need a SIM for UAE.

It’s not even that they would be equally bad, it’s that they just weren’t as good as October made them look. They literally have three legit forwards and two D. Everyone else is interchangeable.

Totally. Great read of the situation Minivan.

This is true. Literally we have 1 NHL quality line and zero NHL goaltending.

When you don’t have much to work with you play a strong defensive system, which is boring as hell to watch, but effective.

He hasn’t done that. Structurally they're a nightmare, but on the flip side, the offence is at least entertaining.

I don’t mean to sound like such a downer, but the prospect pool is also not “too 3”. Beyond Hughes, there are likely no stars coming. Some depth sure, more guys like Goldy and Granlund. Important for team to have guys like that, but they need more guys like Boeser to emerge from later picks, or at the very least, Shotgun and OJ need to realize their full potential.

The team isn't winning playing EP and BH to death. Just increasing risk for them to get injured.

Granlund is not a center. The fact they keep playing him at center just (frank)en baffles me.

When I do get to see the games. I always think I would like to see Gaudette get more ice time. Not a massive increase. A more consistent 14 minutes a game.

At this point, why can't TG try something different. They are on a 8 game losing streak.

Likely stars would be playing on the team. Hughes could have played this year.

Jake and Goldy made progress.

Players that are having good seasons OJ MacEwen Jasek Dipietro Brassard Woo Lockwood

If Vlasic doesn’t want to get bitten he shouldn’t shove his fingers in someone’s mouth.
