The way Big Z responds to questions makes him a good fit in Vancouver, and I hope we get to keep him.

Didn't he and Garland scrap at practice a couple of months back?

In my opinion, he's not worth $8 million. He's a hothead, and down the stretch, he was pretty awful and took way too many undisciplined penalties.

He's the ultimate troll this team desperately needs, lol.

The Official 2023/2024 Canucks & NHL Thread
 

Wow, what an awkward moment between Hronek and that reporter Jeff Patterson haha.

Ian Cole is trying hard not to laugh at that Q and A between Hronek and Patterson. LUL

https://youtu.be/m0q1GyjKdwI?feature=shared

Patterson’s question to Hronek about “why was it that the second half of the season your play curtailed? Is it because of injury?”

Hronek answered bluntly “ you named it. First half of the season I was producing. Second half I was not.”

“Why? If I knew the answer, I would do something different.”

“Well, we have been giving you space all year. We just need you to answer a few questions.”

“Well, what do you want me to say?”

“What do we want me to say?? If you say if I have injury, I said NO.”

Patterson needs to accept the answer from Hronek. Hronek said that he does not have an injury.

Not using an injury as an excuse, because he does not have an injury.

I mean, the defenceman just finished playing a game 7 two days ago. Does Patterson expect Hronek to give a complete critique of his game for the entire season? These things take time for players to step back and think about in terms of their game.

English is Hronek’s second language so if his answers across as overly blunt and negative, then I think that some of it has to do with a bit of a language barrier.

Heck, if I was in Hronek’s shoes and Patterson asked me that same question , I would answer “ Jeff, I don’t have an answer about my second half performance now. These things take time for reflection. I don’t know. I do not have an injury.”

However, Hronek is ESL so he may not be as articulate with his answer the way that Patterson would like it to be.

Vancouver media haha. Hronek may come across as difficult from this media Q and A .

Patterson comes across as a douchebag reporter haha. :

I assume there is some language barriers with Hronek? He did answer Patterson question though. Anyways it's still better than Petey's interview where he just ignores questions or refuses to answer or you get the death stare.

Saw Allvin interview as well. He said he was not satisfied and not happy. I guess he knew game 6 or 7 was winnable if they played with more urgency and effort. I mean if they were tired, then they are not winning any cups, because "It was ONLY round 2." lol.

What is this in reference to? Was this a post season press conference?

McDavid finally got the 4 mins for the high stick on Hughes lol.

Can't believe the Coilers survived that McDavid double minor! And then he gets fucking ROBBED right after

Insane game going into double OT

HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah: HOCKEY GOD :awwyeah:

(sorry)

Wow EDM 1-0. Just proves that Canucks could've stood their own against Dallas if they had a healthy Demko and Boeser.

Big Z is probably my favourite personality on the Canucks in a long time. I hope we can get him for a good proce.

If we're going that route, might as well include a healthy petey as well.

Meh, Dallas lost the first game in round 1 and 2. Maybe it's their "thing".

They're up to 7 opening game losses in a row now. It's absolutely their "thing" EleGiggle

See how stars do in 2nd match-up


watching McDavid and the team rush the net offensively and Stars trying their hardest to control the play was crazy. they looked behind in speed level.


it was a close game near the middle i can say that.

Boeser totally, but I don't know why anyone is mentioning demko after Silovs play. I think he played better than most other goalies in the playoffs. I was hoping he'd put on a fake moustache and sub in for skinner for this round lol.

Lets go Oilers, really hoping they win the cup.

My man.

I can't fathom why any Canadian would cheer for the fucking Dallas Stars, or the Panthers, playing out of a state that doesn't even see ice anytime of the year.

Fuck outta here.

Oilers have a Canadian generational talent the likes of Gretsky, they will always get my cheers while they're in the playoffs.

Lol what, you don’t understand sports and their fans? Lol

I’m not supporting any team other than my own. Edmonton can fuck right off of the Canucks aren’t winning lol. I’d rather some half ass franchise like Dallas or Florida win over Edmonton simply for the fact that then, I wouldn’t have to hear about it

I don't care if they put a team in space. I'm won't ever cheer for Edmonton or Toronto.

Fuck Edmonton... Think about the months and months of hell we will go through hearing about how great the oilers are to beat the 30 curse of a Canadian team not winning the cup. The same goes for Toronto as well!!

Same here................ the team with the most Canadian born players, iirc.

BRING THE CUP HOME!!!!!!! where it belongs, jbol.

On a side note, I'm so happy I stopped cheering/following the Cannots for over 6 decades (pre-NHL)............. was great just watching the games this time around with no emotional attachment .............. okay, maybe with a slight grin. I feel for you guys, though.

Make fun of the other teams all you want............ what goes around comes around.

Agreed! Only reason I would want Dallas to win is for Tanev. Sure, Benn is from Victoria but he's pretty dirty... last year's playoffs, he "fell" on Mark Stone's neck with his stick and basically cost his team the Western Conference title.

That's also true, we'll never hear the end of it from Edmonton fans...

Canucks have been the punching bag of the league since 94. There’s nothing left you can say to a Canucks fan lol
