Saw this tweet and if it's not a slight against the Canucks, I don't know what is.

Might as well show the Bedard goal for the reason why.

Yeah they have competing interests here on how to improve the team. However, as long as they stay within reach the hockey gods might finally gift the Canucks a break.

Not something I really believe in

I guess fixing the team culture is either more important than having better players or they think fixing the team culture will make the players better.

Carol mentioned the Canucks hockey gods and Bedard more then a few times before she left so just going with that vibe.

Anyway, seems they are playing the odds. One rookie player won’t make the difference if not all the players improve through better team culture/systems etc. But that doesn’t mean they are done adding better players. Hronek showed what a difference maker he can be to balance out the D. The draft pick needs to be that too or they trade if for a player.

The Canucks been doing a decent job of putting themselves completely out of the Bedard odds though.

Canucks still need quite a bit to put this team into playoff contention. Many players need to better their overall games. I don't care if managements does it all this off season but can't have the same off season as last year.

Really…a break? They were just gifted EP40 and Quinn Hughes within the last five years. Their small or slight frames had them ranked just around the Canucks draft positions, luckily, in a re-draft Elias Pettersson easily goes first (or 2nd) overall in 2017 and Quinn Hughes goes top three or four in 2018.

The proverbial hockey Gods, what a bunch of nonsense, gifted the Canucks the Sedin twins, Markus Naslund (for Antoski), Todd Bertuzzi and Pavel Bure. Three of the greatest times in Canucks history….2011, West Coast Express, 1994.

Brick by brick, it’s gonna take three years IMO before this group is ready to beat someone in the playoffs, and only if the current management can win at the draft and trades.

Hopefully they got one or two kids out of that 2022 draft and can continue to build on that.

KY commenting on Hughes' ceiling is on par. After all Markstrom 4 goals on 16 shots the 25% rule is pretty good. Torts would love it lol. After all GAA and save% really don't matter in the long run...

Yeah Demko’s sub .900 s% and zero shutouts is the envy of the league. Maybe stick to ratting out posters, it’s more your style than trying to have an intellectual conversation.

Pretty well contradicts everything you just said but sure.

That was last season as well, he's having a better season from what most insiders are saying.

I can see why Hughes didn’t get any Norris votes. Guy doesn’t play defence, don’t get me wrong every team needs a pp specialist but man his job is to help prevent goals.
Myers had a great game for the Flames last night. Markstrom making the saves when needed, Stetcher with a goal, Toffoli with 2, thanks Jim.

When was the last time Canucks won the lotto? That’s a gift. Getting good players in trades and drafting position are just good moves.
