If I'm the only one, I promise to seek help, truly I do.
Neely played 4th line for that scabby Canucks team and still averaged 17 goals from 19-21.Hank wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 1:00 pm Dear gawd, do you guys over-react much?
There was nothing even remotely controversial as to what HW or anyone else said about Brock. You can't be one-dimensional in this league and continue to be successful. That is the truth.
Green has given tough love to those who have needed it. Some have responded well, others look like they're going to be who they are and will be out of the league soon. Brock hasn't been good lately. He's been lazy, he's fat and out of shape, and gets completely gassed easily.
This league will shut you down if you don't continue to improve. Look at Goldy. Look at Petey. Talent alone isn't enough, you have to bring more to the table.
Relax people, relax.
And c'mon, Cam Neely would never have had the same career with those 80's Canuck teams.

Let's do like the Canucks did with Rick Vaive, a one dimensional winger who was traded just before his 21st birthday. The same with Cam Neely, another one dimensional winger traded at 21 years old. Boeser is only 21 until tomorrow, he must be moved before he turns 22. LET'S FUCKING DO IT! NO TIME TO WASTE! The only question is do they do it Harry Neale style and throw Bo Horvat in to get Milan Lucic and Zack Kassian from Edmonton or do they do it Arthur Griffiths/Jack Gordon style and trade Boeser and 2020 first rounder for Jonathan Toews? Stanley Cup? It's more important the Canucks remain in NHL purgatory for eternity. WE CAN DO THIS CANUCKS FANS! Oh, and bring back the double Vs. Might as well look the part.

It was actually Jake Milford who made the trade but it had Harry Neale's fingerprints all over it. As a coach he had no time for young players and wanted veterans. As GM he traded away his veteran defence men and with Bill Laforge went with five young D-men who were slaughtered by the NHL forwards to the tune of 400 goals against, the worst GA in Canucks history. Gretzky and Co. were smacking their lips. Milford didn't want Neale to succeed him as GM, he suggested Jim Gregory as successor to Griffiths. They guy who drafted Darrell Sittler, Lanny McDonald and Borje Salming in TO. Naturally Griffiths went with Neale because they could control him.
And who might that be HW?
That's what I meant Blob.

And c'mon, Cam Neely would never have had the same career with those 80's Canuck teams.
Pat Quinn showed up a year later and had the team in playoffs by 89. You’re probably correct that Cam may not have had a bunch of 50 goal seasons.
But imagine him, Pavel, Trevor, Lumme, Ronning, Courtnall, Larionov(fuck you Quinn) snd one of Shanahan/Wesley/Turgeon.
Neely would have been an annual 35-40 goal guy here easily.
