Well, if this is offensive to you vantel, then I won't post from it anymore.
I thought we'd moved past it. - Vental
Thank you. |

He is done. Finally - CanuckDon
I think so
Nothing against him personally I am just tired of trying to slot in player like Granlund Him and others out of position into the top 6

It is going to break your heart if Markstrom is the starter for the next 6 years - VANTEL
he is my boy for sure
But I just want to see guys like him and ZMac play in these meaningless games. I’d go as far as giving him every 3rd start at this point. |

Big Mac was pretty quiet on his call up . He reminded me of Archie. Maybe being sent down like Briesbois will help him understand. Some players need a couple of trips back and forth before they catch on to what it takes. |

I’d also like to see Gaudette get more minutes, it’s not like he’s playing bad. The way Green is riding EP, Horvat and Edler right now is hilarious. He’s playing them like it’s game 7 of a playoff series, and then later when one of them gets injured we’ll chalk it up to “bad luck”
It reeks of desperation to finish with more points just to sell Aquilini and the fanbase on “improvement” |

I don't blame him one bit. Him and Benning are trying to save their jobs too. Fans at the games had fire Benning signs confiscated . Twitter blew up with fire Benning and you know how people here feel about Green and the rest of the coaching staff.
If Canucks fall back below 6 from the bottom then it will be looked on as a failed year waste of time. If they are closer to 10 th then the team is looked upon as made progress. |

If Aquillini is using these meaningless games to evaluate the job this regime has done then God help us. |

What happened to games in October are just as important as in March?
Canucks are 3 points off last years point total and have 1 less win with 10 games to go.
I actually really like what they are doing . I think they are weeding out players that have no chance of returning next year. They also realize that you can get an equally as good player drafting 12 th as 6 th.
Sorry I don't see the purpose of wanting to lose games. If it is our turn then we will get lotto luck . If not draft where we fall to. |

There’s a middle ground between tanking vs overplaying your 3 or 4 good players to try and win games, while barely playing the less proven young players. |

Do you think EP’s minutes are too high/ need to be managed? Haven’t you been advocating for him to play the whole 2 minutes on the PP all season? |

PP mins are easy, you know that, Don.
I’m talking about heavy even strength and PK for Horvat, Edler and EP while Gaudette gets under 10 minutes per game.
We all know what’s going on here. They’re trying to save face. |

I don't think you are going to get your wish. Coaches and GMs are trying to save their jobs and win over public opinion . Right or wrong I think you are fighting a losing battle. |

I know right now I think Demko is still a back up and I am more curious to see if Markstrom can carry the team . I think having him as a starter next year at 3.5 mil is a bargain and Demko will get his 25 games next year. I am hoping Markstrom didn't have a career year .Ride the SOB

It would be nice to have 2 solid goalies again, especially since the defense is full of question marks |

Gotta sell season tickets for next year. That's always going to be a higher priority than seeing if Goldobin truly has it or not.

That’s a fair point.
But that line of thinking sounds awfully similar to the “fill the age gap, sign overpaid mentors” strategy that was justified by some because “fans wouldn’t support a real rebuild.”
They should do what’s best for the organization long term and the ticket sales will sort themselves out eventually.
I don’t care much about Goldobin, but I’d like to see more of Gaudette, ZMac, Sautner, Brisebois and Demko.
We already know what the other players are capable of in the NHL. |

How many goals and assists has he caused by his listless defensive effort? |
