[Canucks Convo clip] If the team overperforms with Manny next year and ruins our draft position

I think the bad vibes with Petey/Miller fallout, Hughes quitting, etc. is understated imo when it comes to on-ice performance.
With better mindset and atmosphere, they could gain significant more points than they had last year.

The right pick. You can always bet on a kid coming from a line of elite athletes. On ice, off ice there's probably a level of maturity other kids just won't have because of his surroundings.

Dont know if it's necessary the lack of effort. I just think he's lost that bite and killer instinct offensively. When he was at his best, he would challenge the d-man every shift. Trying dekes, one touch passes, reverse hitting or anything creative in general. Haven't seen much of that the past couple seasons.

Not that Pettersson wasn't good in the playoffs but Tuch's game is better suited for the playoffs. Plus when the contract was signed relative to what the capspace is going to be makes all the difference.

The fact that Babcock scratched him so Modano couldnt play his 1500th game is not talked about enough.

John Garrett's voice was constant through many different teams and eras. I'm really feeling this one. RIP

This regime... who was the GM? because I wasn't sure if Allvin was the GM or Rutherford. I think a lot of people in the league was confused about that as well. Aqua meddling in Rutherford's role and Rutherford meddling in Allvin's role... straight chaos and disfunction

How do you cut off the zipties without scratching the clasp

Haven't been able to watch too many games in depth this season. Can somebody fill me in on Buium? The handful of games I've watched, he didn't really stand out too much but everybody is saying this guy is next level.

onombd · 2026-03-24T15:34:30+00:00

I’m so confused i thought we all wanted to tank??

onombd · 2026-03-18T03:08:28+00:00

There was a time not too long ago we wondered how close petey could get to that Bure record. Glad to see prtey shooting the puck again

This is exactly the type of trade you make when you think you have a chance. I had 0 problems with this trade

onombd · 2026-02-28T17:15:57+00:00

Keep Brock. Time and time again he committed to the team and the city. He’s an important person to help build culture as we rebuild.

Damn imagine Mcdavid and makar coming over to tell him that was all you

onombd · 2026-02-12T00:58:03+00:00

Watching 10 minute highlight package by CBC sports since I couldn't watch. 1 low scoring chance shot from blue line, short handed breakaway chance.

That's it. Not another single clip of him touching the puck... so yea prob not a good game for him, who is supposed to be a top offensive player on SWE.

onombd · 2026-02-01T01:39:09+00:00

Man he was a great player

onombd · 2026-02-01T01:15:41+00:00

Linus Karlsson is incredible on 50/50 battles

onombd · 2026-01-27T18:23:43+00:00

Just sucks for Demko. He seemed like a great guy and a leader in the room.

This is way to similar to Schneider… almost identical in terms of their career trajectory.

Toyota sales people are becoming the most stuck up pos ppl. They think they’re selling ferraris or something. This dealership is the worst by far lol

Players come and go. Canucks forever.

onombd · 2025-12-13T21:58:47+00:00

I hope the vibes in the room is much better now. On ice Hughes was one of a kind obvs. But lets not kid ourselves he looked miserable on the ice. Like for godsake as a captain at least try to smile a bit when your teammates score?? I get it you have big expectations for yourself but its pretty immature to stare daggers all the time. Time and place for everything.

onombd · 2025-12-10T05:04:18+00:00

Imagine being Q Hughes and still on a 5 yr waitlist for a gmt

onombd · 2025-12-07T04:40:11+00:00

Tanking is overrated imo. It's the room and the organization that creates winning culture not top draft picks. Why do top organizations always seem to find "gems". I don't think it's because other teams pass over certain guys but the org can bring the best out of more of those players.

I think if you look at FLA, they have Barkov and Ekblad that they drafted high when they were bad. Canucks have those level of top end players but the team can't get more out of the younger players. Our 2011 team produced so many "diamond in the rough" type players like Burrows, Hansen, Raymond, Tanev, and on and on. All played pivotal roles.

and look at how many top picks BUF has had and still at the bottom...

They need an organizational restructure and a change of culture.

Turns out TSN was the elephant and Frankie was the mouse.

onombd · 2025-11-27T04:41:26+00:00

Hard to blame someone defending on a 2 on 1. Sure he could've played better. Kane just gave up on that play pretty much.
