Canucks News N Notes 24-25

Ricky stifling creativity? Where did you get that idea from?

[Cornuck]

3 games for Myers....

3 for McFuckface.

3 games for Myers....

3 for McFuckface.

Seriously. Wow. I didn't watch that game. I think it was the first one I missed this year.

[Topper]

A bit harsher than I thought either would get (I guessed 2 each), but not surprised they are the same.

Oiler fans will be fun to read the next day or so. So much for the Ovi/McJesus love fest.

It was a good’er.

I’m mildly and pleasantly surprised when they got matching suspensions. I thought they were going to go soft on McBaby because, well, he’s McBaby. Then again, it’s the doldrums of the regular season. The stakes aren’t THAT high. They can look like they’re tough on the stars, so when they wink and nod later on in the season or post-season someone can point to this suspension as proof of their integrity - however flimsy.

I just checked twitter/X and the first thing to come up when I typed in McDavid was Sid Sixeiro excusing McDavid's behavior.

He of Breakfast Television in Toronto fame.

Yeah, I'm surprised by this as well. Pleasantly so.

Yeah, it does seem like I missed like a good one.

It’s best to keep Miller. The offers are absolute shite. I believe that’s why he’s still a Canuck today.

Do you think they have ever contemplated the fact that they have a coach who can't get his franchise center to play above third teir level? I think if they're considering trading Miller to solve their problems they're treating the wrong problem.

Word has it, Tocchet is in the Miller camp, so that definitely holds some water

Tocchet is in the Miller camp, yet keeps him on a short ice time leash and gets into it with him on the bench. You would think it would be the other way around. Miller has his issues, but yeah, Tocchet needs to figure out what it’s going to take for Petey to play up to his contract.

I'm starting to think Peter is playing exactly the way Tocchet wants him to play, and he has drummed every ounce of creativity out of him in the process. If this is the case, there is probably nothing Tocchet can do to reverse the process, the die is cast. And they might be on the clock with regard to a new coach ever being able to bring Peter around again.

Yes it's Tocchets fault. Wait!! No it's Millers fault. It's the damn Media!!

He of Breakfast Television in Toronto fame.

Sid has been all over "the NHL needs to protect its stars" since the incident.

Not sure if it was him or some other wingnut who said the NHL has to protect McDavid just as the NFL protects Mahomes. LOL

[Picker of Cherries]

The sad part is, looking at the Canucks replacement defence, losing Myers might hurt the Canucks more than the Oilers losing McDavid.

[Cornuck]

Oiler fans were enraged before the suspension!

I think they missed the part where McD held Garland down first.

3 games seems right for both.

Friedman called up (to replace Myers, I'm assuming).

[Hockey Widow]

I thought McJesus should get 3. He is a repeat offender and he did get away with a flying elbow the game before. He was roughhousing it with Garland and giving as good as he was taking. There is no excuse for what he did.

I thought Myers deserved 2 games but I can see why they wanted to even them out so I have no problem with that. And yes, we will miss Myers more than they miss McJesus. Our rematch with Edmonton should be fun. Leon will be seeking retribution against Garland. Please dont trade JT until after that game.

[Hockey Widow]

So it is rumoured that the Canucks made the decision just over 6 weeks ago to trade one of Miller or Pettersson. When did he leave the team again?

[donlever]

8 weeks ago.

I'd like to congratulate the Vancouver Power Brokers on the alacrity (sic) with which they have dealt with their in house issues.

Donkeys.

Would you trade one of your top two centers before you would maybe try changing the coach? I'm not saying that's fair, but since wjhen is life ever fair. The fact is, Peter plays this way for Tocchet, and Tocchet seems okay with it. Almost like it's what he wants from him. Of course I could ge wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

Not every team has two elite centers,. But most of the contending ones do.
