OK I was at the game tonight and I'm a season ticket holder wait list member and it's pretty fucking obvious we are still not an elite team and are not even NEAR being one. So if the canucks expect me to pay almost $10K for season tickets they'd better improve fast.
Granted it wasn't the A team, but Demitra looked very slow and the system was still bad. Edmonton always played puck possession and we always played dump and chase. IMO the coach needs to go. I was happy with the propects though. The second goal was nice.
Also, I'm 100% for trading Luongo for a 1st line center. History has shown that a team can win the Cup with a decent or hot young goalie (aka Schenider). See Carolina in 2006, Tampa, etc. etc. As good as Luongo is, he is never gonna score. Use him as an asset to finally get us a premier player please.
And Mitchell BETTER get the Captaincy.

Not comparing Schneider to Cloutier, but statistically you can't expect a rookie goalie to carry you very far.

note: young goalies do not win the cup. FRESH, talented goalies with good teams win cups
Example, carolina, replacing gerber in the playoffs with a fresh goaltender.
another example is Roloson, when he was acquired by the oilers. He had sat
most of the season.
Now how far do you honestly think we can go with schneider and sanford in net for us?

^^^ I understand his pain though. 10k, you want to see something special, like pavel bure  kind of hockey. Not a grinding 3 goals or less kind of games. Especially as 10k is huge money to some people.

We do sort of play puck possession.. only when the Sedins are on the ice. I mean, you could get Pyatt or our pluggers to carry it in over the blueline, but the other team's defense would be laughing while the odd man rush goes the other way.
IMO Vignault had two choices with last yrs lineup 1) not get scored on 2) lose

It's like having ICBC advertise there or something. It's a service people have to pay for. I don't think they are trying to get tourists or something to take BC Ferries, I mean, it's a boat that takes you from point A to point B.
I am really curious as to how much that advertisement costs. What a waste of money IMO. | haha who knows. Like Honda said maybe some partnership. BC Ferries did donate that big horn under the screen to GM Place afterall. meh
Canucks are 2-0!! Somewhere you know some people are already on thinking the cup is ours.

if you dont like the product on the ice, no one is forcing you to renew your seasons tickets, i'm sure the 5000 people waiting for them would be more then happy to take them off your hands

bc ferries is a crown corp. they have to spend to make it look as if they're not raking in huge profits.
plus, it promotes tourism in the province

I expect Gillis will want to see how Mattie performs for at least part of the season.... he really hasn't been the same since his eye injury. Maybe the hope is that with the rest of the defense healthy, he won't have to ice as many minutes and might start to show some of his old form again.

For teams that have less of a fan base, maybe you could dangle this threat, but it's just silly when you're talking about the Canucks, because they couldn't care less if you don't pay $10K for season tickets because there are hundreds or thousands of others that will.

I like how RTS has brought us all back to reality.
The prospects are good, but Canucks are nowhere an Elite team.
Demitra did seem slow.
And Canucks still don't have a player that can rush up and diddle daddle through the defense and snap in a hard shot. Last time I saw that from Canucks was from the old Nazzy. I wished Daniel could do that but that's not his style. If only Canucks got a player where goalies would be nervous when they had the puck...
Anyway, glad they are up 2-0 so far. I personally think Sanford's mask looks great.
I didn't get to fully watch both games, so how did the Sedin's do without each other?

Well Demitra isn't exactly the most durable player you'll find. There's no reason for him to get injured in a pre-season game and I'm sure he's jut taking it easy for the pre-season.

You have to remember that during the late 90's and early 2000's we did not sell out home games and there was even talk of selling and moving the team.
Bottom line is that hockey is a business and when the product is bad you are going to lose customers.
Don't get me wrong, I am a Canucks fan, but I'd like to see us get past the second round sometime this decade and the fan base being homers is not going to help with that.

^ most of the fan base is corporate at this point, and seeing as the Canucks are really the only ticket it town, even in losing seaons we arent going to be losing a fan-base, it's just too strong of a following at this point

case in point: toronto maple leafs
