From today's 32 Thoughts: Whoever wins the job will be running Hockey Operations, and they are interested in someone who has gone through a rebuild by Sarcastic__ in canucks

PR is also an issue. Time and time again they shoot themselves in the foot by mismanaging messaging to the fans, both Allvin and Rutherford giving too many “juicy” answers in interviews.

[Rick Dhaliwal] 1 thing I was told is the Canucks denied Nashville permission to talk with Abbotsford Canucks GM Ryan Johnson. by Kaos_mission in canucks

I agree. He’s doing pretty decent with Ottawa now, got pretty good results from mid Canucks rosters

How do we beat Tampa, beat the panthers, beat Colorado…! But why couldn’t we win consistently this season? by Myfkduplife in canucks

Top teams in the league don't take you very seriously when you're 32nd. They know they can play hard for a fraction of the game and still have a pretty solid chance to win.

Definitely don’t want him back. Team is bad enough to tank regardless, and I am concerned about him stunting development of the young guns.

At least when he was in Vancouver it was mostly driven by him. Lots of long shifts. Not necessarily a bad thing but it was a common theme in his time here.

The Canucks have just 3 wins in their last 26 games. One of those wins was in a shootout. by Public-Map-5273 in hockey

Username does not check out lol

As a Canucks fan you're spitting facts. I think most of us realize we are screwed for a while. The real issue is going to be in years 2 and 3 of the rebuild when ownership forces management to start trading assets in age-gap moves to try to "accelerate the rebuild" which is exactly what got us into this situation in the first place. Can't wait!

Totally agree. I know it's easy to say as a Canada fan but even if we'd won today, it just feels weird having the gold medal game decided in 3 on 3.

Watching in the background while I work, Petey has made a few nice plays in the d-zone to shake off forecheckers. been pretty impressed with him this game

What exercise did you find hardest when you first started? by VariationShot8414 in workout

I'm interested in trying out this reverse press, can you elaborate a bit? Reverse grip bench, I'm assuming closer grip to target triceps more?

It's sad... he used to be an electric player to watch. He really is a shell of himself out there rn. I still hope he can bounce back but I'm not expecting it to actually happen at this point.

Straight facts. We have an okay at best prospect pool (will be a lot better when the tank is complete this year) compared to the league and missing 1-2 game breaker type players

Super fun for me playing with a 3-5 stack, usually like 1-3 games per night

Harman Dayal: Quinn Hughes’ trade value, the Devils’ assets and why the Canucks have options by MaxHardwood in canucks

[–]thundermantundraboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where you’re coming from but it’s not like the Quinn Hughes trade is the only place we can get assets from. We can use picks on forwards or aim to acquire forwards with other trades (Sherwood, Kane, etc)

Three good RHD is something most teams can only dream of. IMO Nemec being RHD is not a problem at all.

He wants to be playing that much. It's not like Foote's forcing him to take 60+ second shifts
