  1. I told you all back when Rutherford was first hired , within the first few months , that he was going to break the whole team up . He started cutting players from the herd and especially after the team scared the NHL by taking the Oilers to 7 games . Tocchet got his coach of the year and the team died after being up 3 games to 2 . They were not supposed to do that . I think it was Vancouver's win over Pittsburgh that got Rutherford fired in Pittsburgh.

  2. Banging girls under 18 when you are over 18 is just fkn gross and imo criminal. Nobody in modern times argues ‘nuanced’ positions or historical realities to defend fkn young girls unless they want to fk young girls. In nics case it’s probably cuz he fkd young boys.
    Diff topic- 3rd is a good addition she brings a ‘here are the names and connections’ similar to crab but differently. I’m a fan.

  3. I like hoarding draft capital. I don't like the idea of the current management using that draft capital correctly.

  4. Bottom line is they shouldve waited until closer to the TDL – when GMs are most desperate and willing to give up more. And he's currently hurt so clearly that made no difference Button – you pubic-hair-head-looking clown.

  5. Hopefully Garland won’t be traded, he is probably the last heart and soul Canucks. He requested to join this team.

  6. Pain coming for the Canucks. Not to be confused with whatever was they were going through for the last 10ish years. That was apparently hockey bliss.

  7. Prime take-away: “Just because a pass he makes doesn’t result in a goal, or doesn’t come back to him, doesn’t mean he’s not elite.” If MacKenna gets drafted by the Canucks, that’s exactly the situation that he will be in. So he will be elite, but the team will still suck.

  8. 2024 Canucks Drafted Braeden Cootes Not To Bad At All Oh Ya And He Is Canadian Canucks Fans Are Never Happy About Anything đŸ€ŁđŸ–•

  9. Donny we got bit of luck with this trade. Big Sweed from Abby is playing tonight. Cole Clayton is a good player.2 second round guys are a hit. Now we have six picks in firs two rounds.

  10. Craig Canucks prez is going golfing soon .You might get a chansde herre in Vancouver. Just tell us about bit Luke Schairer and William Hakansson.

  11. Whether we rebuilt this year or made the playoffs, i was happy with where we were.

    Being able to trade Hughes and get a monster package back. That flushes the org with value and expedites the rebuild by years.

    We have Hronek who we can trade next season (dont wanna commit everything to a single draft year). And he will return a haul as well.

    Just by moving Hughes and Hronek, we are in a fantastic spot.

    Then these moves for guys like Sherwood. Just icing on the cake.

    Now we just gotta hit. We need the franchise 1C to build around.

    There isnt one in this draft. Next year has a bunch of centers at the top of the draft.

    But that's just hockey. The top end Cs don't come along every year, so you gotta get lucky. Shame we couldn't have bottomed out last year.

    Celibrini is a special player.

  12. Thanks Al…I'm starting to think that this is some sort of real sick CRA revenuer to save a couple bucks on tax. Meantime fans get nothing and they pay $600 bucks a seat, I guess Alvin can only manage the pipeline. He can't manage a team to go and win and build a pipeline, AL-veene goes on to say " as an organization we take a lot of pride in giving him the opportunities to grow and Excel as a player" 😉 đŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł ooooooo yyyeeaaahhhh he signed his favourite country man for 120000000000000000 per year….

  13. Pain is coming? Were last pace in the NHL. Lost 10 games in a row. Traded our team star player in Hughes. Have a bunch of veterans with long term contracts and NTC who are not performing and basically can't be traded. Have a owner who meddles in the team and refuses to build a practise facility. Its not coming, pain is already here.

  14. To get 2 seconds for a depth guy you bought on a Show Me deal, that is an extremely rare value success story for this organization.

  15. Jim Benning built a team down the middle and drafted 1000 better than this regime Rutherford is a dinosaur and Alvin the chipmunk is garbage! We had Bo, JT, EP40 Hughes now we have EP20 and old slow wingers are 32 in league and they want to trust this regime to rebuild?!??? Stupid. They got peanuts for the best Defender in club history (don’t want to hear four 1sts – they are not close to equal their FA and drafts are weak fire this regime and sell the team – doomed for 25+years – joke organization!!!!!

  16. A rebuild is not pain. Its going to be fun and refreshing. Only the casuals and noobs will feel the pain. We have to have patience with these kids. Hopefully the idiot part of the fan base dont destroy these kids confidence. Its going to take time mistakes will be made for years.

  17. Do you trust this management team to do the job? They’ve been here 5 years and no improvement! They’ve got consistently worse!

  18. Love how Donnie throws in the complete loser mentality of being a lifelong Canucks fan. We can have the worst season in NHL history, but we'd still lose the draft lottery. That's how ingrained losing in Vancouver is.
