It's just going to be yet another fail move by a GM in Edmonton... don't act surprised lol

I'm sure an arrangement like that will come to fruition for Coach Q... but I doubt he wanted to go anywhere near that tire fire in Edmonton. Who would want to live in that city AND coach such a shit team with shit management? He can go pretty much anywhere... and under better circumstances.

I agree with Sid here... maybe not so much with Drai, but everything else...
Hitchcock made that Dallas offence look underwhelming.

forgot to check in the other night. i was at the game on monday. seeing it in person was fun despite the loss. can't really complain, got to see three goals including another beauty slapper by Petey. Hutton had a real strong game and Gagner also made some nice plays in the offensive zone.

Our team defense right now is pretty tragic. We spent probably 90% of the first period in our own end. I couldn't believe the massive difference in shots after just one period..

I don't know why Markstrom has to have one seriously terrible play every game. Hopefully tonight is a different story. Need Nilsson to come back. Bachman is not ready (or capable?) to play at NHL level.

Luongo would sure be good right about now

To think we rode Lu out of town when he still could have been our starter at this point lol.. and he was ready to stay ecen! Until torts and the winter classic disaster :/

Lu is a regular season goalie, we don't really need to get into the playoffs with this group... 2011 wasn't his only post-season disaster (San Jose sh!tgate series comes to mind... he was too busy trying to get the refs to call a penalty on whoever tripped Hansen to stop the puck going in for the series ending goal)

That ruined me as a fan... To be honest, don't think I've been the same Canuck fan ever since (94 when I started)....

Went back to take a look and damn, 12 seasons and made it to the playoffs once. I don't know whether to laugh, feel sorry for them or what but that's pretty bad.

AV is in the same boat as Q. Why would you risk your sweet salary for an interim position. Both Willie and Hitch are signed only through the rest of the current year. AV and Q are getting paid $5-6M a year right now to take a break from hockey and wait for a better situation to present itself. That being said if STL offered either of them term and money, I'm sure they can be persuaded.

You wouldn't risk your sweet salary for the remainder of your contract. It's just a matter of how new team that wants to hire you and the team that fired you agree to make up the coach's salary. If you sit on a beach to wait out the contract to expire, you'd still have to look for a job when that contract finishes ... so what's the diff?

So let's say AV has 2 yrs left at $4m/yr. NY pays $1.5, Oilers pay $2.5 for the remainder of the contract. What are you risking?

Wait for a better opportunity? I know Oilers is the sh*tz but an opportunity to coach McDavid ... turn down? What's a better opportunity? I know like last year Washington Capitals, SC winner, does not renew coach ... like that happens every year.

did that dude mess up the words in our anthem? T_T

Demko starting

oops..nope its markstrom lol

I guess Bo is captain now :lol

Don't think so......... I wasn't really paying attention. Typical lounge lizard singing.

He kind of screwed up his own anthem, though.

John Garrett, lol. Always talking about food.

Fuck a Duck, that didn't take long.

Puliot wtf

2 turnovers in a span of 3 seconds by the 6mil man

Do the Canucks hang out with the BC Lions? More turnovers than a Chinese bakery on a Saturday morning.

You hear analysts talking about this thing called hockey IQ. Why does it seem like large parts of our team doesn't have it? lol

who the hell throws the puck up the middle when there's a mad scramble? throw it to a corner ffs

IQ = Intelligence Quotient.

Nuff Said.

its hard enough telling beer leaguers to do this...

alright, alright a little bit of redemption for Pouliot

It’s a fire drill almost every time in our zone tonight, especially when Guddy and Hutty are involved

This whole game is pretty sloppy.
