Expectations have changed as well. They were 2nd and 3rd overall picks, even back then they got a lot of flack for being "busts" but I think in today's market (especially Vancouver) they would be absolutely roasted. Look at this board talk about Pod and Hughes... they're still kids.

But, that being said, I don't think the times have changed that much. Lots of slackers back in the Sedins days, lots of hyper trained people today.

I agree, and it’s why both Hogs and Pods should be playing in the development league available to them.

One of those kids gets paid almost 8 million dollars, for potential, yet hasn't improved, one bit, as a defender. He deserves the criticism

Lefty + weed + food = Lefttoker?

Hearing that Bruce Boudreau has called it quits and it won't be official until Tuesday, due to the Sedins induction into HHOF tonight.

I guess I was right!? Kind of sad for him though.

Elliot didn’t actually say this. What he did say was that “if” there was going to be a change it wouldn’t happen Monday, because of the hall of fame ceremonies, and could happen Tuesday.

Bruce isn’t going to walk away from $2m, especially if this is his last NHL coaching job…

That is what I was thinking too. I mean how bad does things have to be for a guy to walk away from 2 mil a year.

I haven't heard MTA since NFU left.

Vancouver tied for tenth in scoring. Defense and goaltending is the issue. Nothing else.

On which play? tweets like this mean nothing without context.

Not just our 6 defenders. we need 5 guys defending on the ice and they aren't doing it. We have too many guys playing as individuals and not enough playing as a team. I think that is why our team looks better than it is on paper.
