rutherford won't be around when a rebuild bears fruit. wrong owner, wrong g m, mediocrity is the standard.
How long will the Canucks ownership accept mediocrity? Is it that they make just enough money from this middling team? Are they afraid to take a risk on a full sell off and and complete rebuild?
As a forever fan(40+ years), I am so completely indifferent about the Canucks. Everyone knows that indifference leads to collapse of relationships so I wonder how long this middling team will be supported by it's most enduring fans.
I'd like to see the Canucks fail. I 'd like to see them sell everything, be the worst team in the league, possibly get a first overall pick and acquire youth and build a team from scratch. Many say it can take a long time to rebuild like this but sitting in the mushy middle forever with first, mayyybe second round exits will never bring the Canucks the cup.
Theyd make a lot more money if they went deep into the playoffs for multiple years. Just plain dumb
best hockey I've seen in years, watching the last few weeks
Some teams seem unaffected by who owns them, other like the Canucks seem to rise and fall by who their owner is. (I mean just look at the night-and-day difference between the Griffiths era Canucks and McCaw era Canucks.) Parity is not the problem, salary cap is not the problem. The Canucks had as much chance as anybody in the salary cap era (leaving aside the NHL fucking them every draft lottery). It comes down to the decision making by top management.
Frankly, the Canucks of the last several years, have made some baffling decisions and got burned for it. Upper management dug this hole for them. I do not think the local sports media helps matters either; to them every single quality player the Canucks have had in the last 10 years has automatically been assumed to be trade bait. They all seem to have the "real estate developer" attitude that the point of developing a good asset is to benefit from it being sold. That is very different from the hockey-first performance-driven attitude that wins playoffs and cups, where you carefully develop your weapons for the purpose of using them for victory.
PS: as for Florida, they have already proved they get dangerous at playoff time, that is their MO. They are not one of those teams that are regular-season warriors, all president's trophy swagger that gets complacent and collapses.
Fuckin worse owner ever
My answer to Mareks philosophical question is yes. Parity means that everyone gets their turn and i dont love that.
just because the league is competitive with high parity, doesn't mean it is "average". terrible take. what a regard that guy is. This means that teams are mostly very good this year in my view, so you get to see great hockey every game.
Distinguish then Extinguish…
How many 500 clubs are there in the nhl right now??..condesned schedule injuries..we are a lot closer then ppl think…6-2 win tonite and we move from 28th to tied 24th and win tmr puts us in top 20 ..get healthy add a legit 2c and we are playoff team.
Please don’t allow them to increase the amount of teams 16 would have been perfect.
