Some just have players they don't like and will never like because of reason's I don't know.

I don't think a small portion of numbers tells the whole story. Hughes has not been good at times this season but he is clearly a steps above the rest of this defence.

The stats tell everyone that the Canucks are as good as their current record shows. That's not to say they won't turn it around.

They give up far too many chances from the front of their net. They have the same issues that have plagued them for years and not much as changed except for adding to the best top 9 in the league.

Also, Boudreau did not get Jack Adams consideration last year after his miracle run, he certainly won’t get it this year after putting the team in a giant hole, no matter how well they do the rest of the year. Horvat is scoring on almost 1 in every 4 shots on goal, that isn’t sustainable. Demko / Martin are among the leagues worst duos currently, they would need to play at 1.5 gaa and .950 s% the rest of the way to be in the Jennings conversation at the end of the year.

Nice. Going:

Seahawks
Redskins
Dolphins
Jets
Bucs
Ravens

Pick 6. Bucs and Ravens are so/so on the road but needed to bump the ticket up.

Flames cost me over $800 by not winning in regulation on that $20 pick 4.

I get it there has been tinkering and still no results. Making a major move may be the way. That’s different then the blow it up plan.

But if Canucks continue playing better then what?

Vegas has been healthy all season except for their goaltenders. Know that won't last.
- manvanfan

It won't. Plus I don't think they are deep PO team from what I've seen so far. Will be more of the same for Vegas in the PO's.

If the 3-4 lines are finally finding chemistry and Martin is solid you roll with it. We know FA won't allow a teardown so make the most of what you have. Of course Horvat in his contract year (like Miller last year) is having a banner season. Par for the course and nothing to see there lol.

There are always a few players that score 1 in 5 shots at the end of the year. The 4- 50 goal plus scorers last season shot between 15-20%.

FA will want his playoff money and Canucks fans will just have to live with it. Or current GM has a plan and he's been secretly playing 3D chess with the big boys behind our backs.

All I can hope for is smarter moves then there has been, whatever way the team goes.

When he says stuff like that, I have to agree with you.

It's just not that hard to not be a douche bag.

Again I don't do woke culture. That's the name of the team to me and always will be.
Should the Blackhawks change their name too? Get a grip man. The names were meant to be complimentary not derogatory. Let Crywood have his name calling.
Is what it is.

It really has nothing to do whether you "do it" or not. It's just not that hard to use the new name. It really isn't.

Respectfully there was no need for the name changes except the forcing of the new 'culture'. Even when the native bands were contacted over the EDM CFL name change they said there was no need for it. But they did it anyways due to forced nature and political jargon. This is how stupid it is and I won't support it. Period. Has nothing to do with race like small minded folks want to make it out to be. We are now installing tampon dispensers in all the mens change rooms at all city facilities. Do you not see how fucking dumb this is becoming?
