lol i guess it's tank mentality we're going with. trevor almost looked a bit pissed in that intermission interview.

Vrbata :rukidding:

i hate the canucks

Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows will not stop management from making any deals.

If the Canucks want to deal Burrows, he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during the Saturday Headlines segment.

Burrows has one year remaining on his four-year, $18-million contract, and is scheduled to make $3 million next season, according to generalfanager.com

The 34-year-old has just seven goals and 16 points in 52 games this season

thought the game was at 7pm

rip

Friedman reported that Benning wants to rebuild but Aquilini said no again. Obvious problem is the ownership, actually thankful to the stealth tank by Benning if this is the case

This thread gives me a headache.

Same people saying we shouldn't make the playoffs and tank are the same people getting angry when Vey jumps over the boards as the extra man. Make up your minds :lawl:

I'd prefer to make the playoffs, but at this point, it's not looking like that's going to happen even if we try (if you can call tonight trying), so may as well pack it in with the trade deadline approaching and start looking to the future.

Fuck Aquilini

ARE WE #TEAMTANK or #TEAMPLAYOFFS


probably your next vancitybuzz poll

....

#TeamMatthews

I love how CBC was literally cutting up WD for not puttin the sedins out more especially after tv breaks or offensive zone starts! I mean come on WD what kind of coach is this guy!? This team should not make the playoffs and how it doesn't...also I hope they miss the playoffs more then a couple points too! Need to get in that top 5 pick for the draft! Also fire Willie at the end of the season too!

Team tank and fuck vey and Willie and aqualini lol

i think near the end, the same thing was said that AV did the same

Jim Hughson backin up his home team...i think

and that's why he was fired.

even if we get into the playoffs (plz lawd no) do we really wanna see WD roll the lines as 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 again?

Get outshot 38-19 by the Leafs on home ice :fuckthatshit:

Willie's response? Right Wings move up 1 line, Hansen to the 4th. Like ... the fuck? :seriously:

Went from:

22-33-36
47-53-17
15-91-18
14-7-26

to:

22-33-17
47-53-18
15-91-26
14-7-36

:facepalm:

Also, fuck NHL.com's new design. Dumbed it down so much, can't even find the information you want anymore.

I think it's become evidently clear that WD has no idea what he's doing behind the bench. he's good at handling of the younger players but his own the fly in game IQ is atrocious

Canucks dream land

Trade vrbata and Hamhuis for 1st round picks

Tank to the bottom

Draft Matthews

Draft 2 other prospects with the two 1st rounders or trade for defenceman

Fire willie

Hire Marc Crawford (Matthews connection)

Sign stamkos

Sign Hamhuis back

^ How did those audio streams get recorded? That's pretty interesting...

nhl.tv has no commercials, i guess rather than cut to the game will return shortly graphic, they just run the live feed from the building. guess the mics were left on the feed

AV did the opposite, the sedins and kesler lines always started the offensive zone faceoffs even when they weren't playing well. The opposite is happening with WD where he's never putting the "top" guys in the offensive zone just for being the top guys.

The sedins can't handle end to end hockey at this age though, you can tell in the second half of the game if they lose the offensive zone faceoff or the cycle, they can't pressure on the forecheck :okay:

Kesler only got O-zone faceoffs in 10-11, when we had Torres-Malhotra-Hansen as our 3rd line. And he, unsurprisingly, had a career year. Ironically, it was also the year he finally won the Selke, despite a significant reduction in defensive responsibilities.

Prior to that, Wellwood was our 3rd line center and AV had zero faith in Wellwood in the D-zone, especially against larger centers.

After that, we had Hodgson, who we all know the story behind.
