  1. This club will struggle until the team is sold. Anyone with a pulse knows the owners are a major problem here. It seeps down from the top, through upper management, to the coaches and to the players. It's also why the rest of the NHL hates the Canucks.

  2. Miller probably is easy to talk with and to, just dont ask him or say stupid shi#….Pettersson getting a 100pts LOL get real people….put Miller and Petey on the same line again !!! make them work together !!…classic special ops training method

  3. They knocked Boudreau as a coach who coaches with no system… Rick Tocchet has a system and he expects his players to stick to it… two coaches with very different styles of coaching, and yet they are getting the same kind of results from the team, a team that can't start a game with some urgency, a team that cannot protect a lead, and a team that has poor special team plays. Looking at Travis Green and how the Senators are doing now, I would even dare say this group of players have not been able to consistently play well for any coaches now… You may have Scottie Bowman, Joel Quenneville, Barry Troz and Pat Quinn all rolled into one and this team may still not perform.

    It's the players, and management that constructs this team, that is the problem. Rutherford and Allvin had done some very astute moves, but I think this past off-season's decision to allow Zadorov and Cole to walk without a plan to replace them was a terrible mistake. This team also lacks a veteran who can play the role like that from Tim Hunter, Randy Gregg, and Dave Babych back in the day… when the team is in a funk, it seems like no one knows what to do. There is not a respected veteran voice to guide this group out of it.

  4. Junior hockey and European hockey is different than the nhl. Nhl is where the money is spent. Big boy stuff. Alot more physical game. Swedish players have tons of skill but get crushed in the nhl. They also dont have a tough winning mentality. Its sucks the owners who keep picking Swedish players dont figure this out. Plus this group is team europe. They dont care

  5. As young team why are they being out skated by teams like Seattle, minnesotta, San Jose…not good enough

  6. Patrick Alvin, Rutherford, Canucks management, Canucks owner put this team together bragging about everything, rising tickets prices, and now it is worse than before

  7. A team is only as good as it's worst players…..The Canucks have some stinkers. Zero production from guys like Blueger, Sutter, Hoglander, Heinan, Garland…

  8. Allvin and Rutherford have allowed the cancer to fester for 4 years, good managers would've dealt with this a long time ago.

  9. After listening to canuck fans chrip all last year to oilers fan.. i love to see the downfall of this pathetic franchise.. 😂😂😂😂 screw the nucks…

  10. Get rid of your European management.Who likes to draft more often than not European players?We need good old tough.North American players that know how to fight through the night.
    Figure a speech but you know what i'm talking about

  11. I like Rutherford and Allvin but at times they come off like that mechanic who just keeps replacing parts until he finds what's wrong. Then again, if there's a common denominator here going back to Bo Horvat, it's JT Miller. He's been in the thick of this stuff and management chose him over Bo.

  12. Bruce got the royal shaft from Rutherford…What he did is disgusting and now its called Karma…Rutherford is to old and what he did to Bruce again was unreal and Bruce turned the city and team around

  13. Let's trade for Jack and Luke. Then make an offer for the Tkachuk brothers and form the best 5-on-5 starting lineup

  14. The room is cooked

    Alvin has built one of the biggest slowest dumbest bottom 4 D that wouldn’t even crack the bottom pair on any real contender

    Hell Montreal isn’t even a contender and wouldn’t swap any of

    Myers
    Soucy
    Desharnais
    Forbort
    Nuulsen
    Brannstrom

    With Arber or Savard ( Habs bottom pair )

    Canucks have 4 top 6 forwards ( or would if Miller and Petterson were playing like top 6 centres )

    Garland
    Hoaglander

    Are bottom 6 energy guys

    This roster is a joke

    Decent bottom 6

    Goalies are their strength if Demko wasn’t getting hurt so often

    Hughes is carrying this team on his back and I feel sorry for him

    He’s the oldest looking 25 year old in the league and I don’t mean in maturity, he’s wearing it on his face

    Rebuild already this half ass “re-tool” is cooked

    Trade / let walk – kick to the curb all of the heart & the good solid character in locker room other than Hughes & Boeser

    Tanev
    Stetcher
    Edler
    Horvat
    Markstrom

    Miller is a loud mouth hypocrite, always has been, he should shut his mouth and play a 200’ game
