This team needs to spend 1 whole practice on making line changes.

Brad Hunt. LOL.

As mediocre as Hamonic is, he isn't as bad as Juulsen.

He makes 4 times the money. And he’s marginally better.

Hamonic plays a lot more than marginal minutes. I'd love to have a team full of minimal wagers, but I don't care as I'm not the owner.

Juulsen is nowhere near to even a mediocre Dman like Hamonic. I don't care if he played for free. Poolman is an upgrade.

Hope Dermott can provide something better than what we've been seeing on the bottom pair.

Schenn and Burroughs are upgrades on Hamonic and Poolboy. At a fraction of the cost.

Still like to see Keeper get a shot.

Glad to to see Dramonic gone.

Never try to reason with the Blob when he's drinking.

(and he's always drinking)

I wish we could have dumped Dramanic's ass when he pulled his private family issues crap.

Schenn has been great and Burroughs can fill in for spurts. Both have the grit factor than no one on this team has, but they aren't every day players, especially Schenn at his age. But who the fuck knows what's going to happen from now until the end of season.

The former 4th liners have more offensive confidence than the so-called top 6 guys named Pettersson and Boeser. This team has sagged noticeably when these two guys can't generate consistent zone entries, much less any offensive chances for their lines. They can't get in to pressure anyone and all they do is turn pucks over.

They used to have all this swagger and cockiness. Where is it now? Neither is playing like the $7M players they think they are.

Would it kill this team to get a fucking shutout once and a while??

The term "mentally fragile" springs to mind.

What the hell did coach Green do to these guys? :(

Watching the Canucks lately has Been hard on my stash. They've looked like they finally realized they're not gonna make it after the Detroit loss

Do you think they look up at the management box and despair? Instead of seeing that jet black tuft of genius they see an old raisin, his cue ball lackey and all these women scurrying about

Agreed, that game did some damage to their psyche.

I'm sure management had some scenarios to look at during this homestand. It started out well, but I think after watching the Detroit game and how they performed (after the tough loss to TB), they knew they needed to start looking at moves. The Flames performance sealed it.

The free-fall continues against bottom-feeding Buffalo. Not even competitive so far.
