I’m using the microphone at times talking. So that’s why sentences aren’t always how they should be. Like now talking into the microphone again and what comes out I don’t look at I don’t care I just hit submit.

Giving you a hard time. I don't care. It's a hockey site not a board of education test. Keep up with the poor grammar it makes me and Nightie feel at home.

You can move 10 spots up I believe.

That’s not why we can’t draft 3rd. There is no 3rd lottery prize. Only first and 2nd. If the Canucks finish 10th for example. They can draft; 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th or 12th. That’s it

A full season under Tocchet, is all they need.
- Reubenkincade

Didn't they need a full season under Bruce?

A team that drafts 13th wins a lottery, can only move up 10 spots, select 3rd.

Well, they did get 82 games out of Bruce.

What exactly are they doing differently?

Watch the games ...

OH NO! 1 game out of 82 is amazing.

Your like a cancerous fan, always spouting the doom an gloom, glass half full poop, not willing to see growth, positive steps.

There has been enough change in the organization already, that constantly whining about the past repeating itself is a FOOLS argument ...try seeing the steps going forward, not the past mistakes or failures

He is not far off with his comments.

It is an easier schedule for sure. I think he is looking at it from an open mind and not just happy about the results like most of the fan base. We have seen it before, and I see some improvement this time around.

I will side with Mini on this. I think all he is saying is don't get fooled by the numbers and keep an open mind.

Makes sense why you would be in love with the Bruce bump last season and think that it was sustainable.

Any moron can watch a game, just look at Donna. Doesn't mean they know (frank) all.

Guy needed help with how the draft lotto works. Pretty damn easy but was simply too complicated for him.

From the Athletic from a couple days ago about Tocchet's impact (the tables don't translate):



So, while they have been playing worse opponents, they have been playing better as well as the underlying numbers suggest. But that's a small sample size, we'll see how it turns out next year.

Yes, small sample size but it’s supposed to show you that some of the things that are said here about the team looks different, isn’t a mirage. It’s something that’s holding true by the numbers too.

If he improves his faceoff percentage, he could even move up a line.

In fact Canucks army did a piece comparing the " Bruce " bump vs the year, and guess what? Tey are improving in defensive structure, chances against, chances for, that are not just riding a hot goalie

You say " keep an open mind " but that's what I argue against, is the fact that so called fans can not keep an open mind going foward

The improvements are minor. Getting regular goaltending. PK isn't as atrocious as it was to start the season. Even if you get all this all season, still a team right now with their improved play that would be fighting for a wild card spot.

I am glad that Bobby Orr was around, when I was a kid, or come playoff time, I wouldn't have a team to cheer for. The life of a Canucks fan is a tough task.

You can ask anyone with half a brain in here, I'm not doom and gloom at all and probably one of the more positive people in here.

Donna wouldn't be the person to ask btw.

He is already the 3rd line centre, with Joshua and Garland.
