Re: Canucks News N Notes 24-25
We like to throw the GM’s under the bus here but it all and always will point to this ownership, they are not hockey people, not true fans, it’s a business and they try to run it like it’s Walmart
1. They demanded Nonis to trade a package of Kesler, Bieksa and a 1st round pick for Brad Richards in Tampa. Nonis said no, fired.
2. Gillis walks into Aqualini’s office proposing a plan to rebuild, fired
3. Hire Linden, hire a yes man puppet in Benning. Linden walks into Aqualini’s office saying we need to be patient and build through the draft, fired.
4. Benning hangs in longer than he should because he was their yes man and puppet, fired after Smyl tells them enoughs enough.
5. Hire quality guys in Rutherford and Alvin, so far so good, but let’s be clear, Rutherford is old and is win now guy, developing and being patient isn’t what he is known for. He fits like a glove for the impatient meddling owners here, which again will come back to bite. The team is rather thin with little to nothing in the pipeline after Lekerimakki and Willander, who aren’t exactly thoroughbreds. Enjoy that 2025 1st and 2nd rd pick before its traded at the TDL for rentals
It’s time to start acting like the Dallas Stars. You can still be a good team and value, appreciate and respect your draft stock commodity while winning instead of Willy nillying them away for temporary short-lived pleasures, saving the picks for your own use, building through the draft while yet remaining competitive.

What is more surprising, Meyers or practice in Tampa.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Good... um... good analysis, Chef.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 24-25
The Canucks have called up Erik Brannstrom. I wonder if they rushed Myers back too soon.
Should be interesting, this guy is not a Tocchet type to say the least.

I'm guessing they aren't happy with Juulsen or Desharnais - both have looked terrible (Forbort hasn't been much better).Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 10:02 am The Canucks have called up Erik Brannstrom. I wonder if they rushed Myers back too soon.

They are having trouble getting the puck on to the forward's sticks, in stride. Tocchey Hockey is about transition... they don't know what that is.

If this guy plays anything like he did with Abby on Sunday we might actually see Tocchet's head explode.JelloPuddingPop wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 10:39 amI'm guessing they aren't happy with Juulsen or Desharnais - both have looked terrible (Forbort hasn't been much better).Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 10:02 am The Canucks have called up Erik Brannstrom.

And that would be a sight

Re: Canucks News N Notes 24-25
don't disagree. hopefully he uses all of this as motivation to kill it in Abby and give them no choice but to bring him up again soonMegaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 3:17 pmLooks that way, I wasn't overwhelmed with Raty's work in this recent stint personally.Raile wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 2:01 pmGuess they decided to move Suter to back to center?Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2024 1:35 pm Aatu Raty headed the other way to Abbotsford:

Raty looked lost out there, not surprised by the demotion, needs to cook for awhile
