This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
You would think that NHL players and the coaches / management / ownership wouldn't give a poo poo if some obese gently caress in the nosebleeds waddles on down to throw his jersey onto the ice but all of the reporting out of Edmonton about it when it was going on was that it really does get under their skin more effectively than anything else lol

I'm glad he said something because it means that more Canucks fans are going to throw their $150 shirt on the ice and think they're proving a point, and the players are going to get even more pissed, and maybe they'll trade them.

Most players can deal well with being booed in away games, but getting booed and yelled at by what are supposed to be your own fans is not going to be a great feeling. I've seen games where the boo birds come out at the end of the 1st or 2nd and the first shift out the next period the players are flying around and getting their feet moving. Sometimes it really helps teams get it together. But game after game is going to be depressing. Especially when your team is playing like dogshit and you keep giving up leads because you're collectively playing poorly. Makes it hard to turn it around, but at the same time those boos are well earned.

I just saw that the Canucks now have Mike Yeo as an assistant coach and lol what the gently caress did they expect from that hire? He couldn’t get the Flyers to do line changes correctly last year.

If you’re a head coach and the GM tells you Mike Yeo will be your assistant, save yourself a couple months of misery and just fuckin quit. Guy seems to only get HC gigs by waiting in the wings for a coach to be fired

Except Minnesota where he got promoted from the AHL team. And even in St Louis where it was a planned thing ahead of time. He was always going to go to Philly after Chuck got hired there, so Vancouver hiring him is an interesting pick for me.

Rutherford hired Yeo for the sole purpose of communicating to Boudreau as clearly as humanly possible that he does not want him there and is going to fire him the instant he can persuade Aquilini to do it. Which, the way things are going, looks likely to be about next week.

Vancouvers problem is that elite goaltending was the only reason this wasn’t happening last year. It’s not like Tyler Myers and OEL being loving pylons is a new thing. Only before they had too-tier goaltending to hide the fact that the entire defense is a dumpster fire. Demko is regressing slightly and it’s showing all of the flaws that were always there, he just kept the team out of trouble before.

Edit: I just realized I don’t know if Tyler Myers is a d-man. He might not be but he stays in the example.

Yea it’s really nice.

I feel like so many masks today are lame generic “team logo” designs like you’d see in easports nhl19 or whatever. I remember in the 90s there were much more unique cool designs. I wonder if it’s a thing like teams want more team focus rather than individual (I remember price had to have more generic Habs designed masks bc I think of therrien)

Not 100% sure but that’s the impression I get

I think most goalies have cool masks (and pads!), theyre just limited to practices and poo poo.

e: I 100% see guys like Torts, Babcock and Therrien banning them during games because they are just awful jerks.

he's like...speedrunning becoming a big-contract pariah with all of the comments he's making. I like Boudreau as a coach, and say what you want about Torts in Vancouver, but I cannot imagine the nuclear-grade meltdown Torts would have if his star center was saying "I don't need to change anything" after giving up a ton of goals and "it's up to them" about the fans throwing jerseys. Someone in Vancouver's gotta pull him aside and tell him to shut his rear end up

There’s certainly some around the league that have cool masks and stuff (fleury usually does, miller used to when he played, for examples) but I think I just mean I see much less of them than in the past is all

As someone who likes art and design, I like to see creative poo poo on a canvas like a mask :p

He just signed a guaranteed megacontract that takes him through the end of his career. He doesn't give a poo poo. He isn't even making a pretense of giving a poo poo. They can't even buy him out for at least like 5 years, if at all.

I feel bad for CAS but on the other hand I'm glad he's going out of his way to add another embarrassment to Aquilini's pile.

I get that. Lord knows as a Rangers fan I get that. I've seen some players get megacontracts and start cruising...but I can't remember a guy just being openly this level of hostile in the first week after signing a contract. Madness

He's had some controller disconnected moments last year, too.

The Athletic also ran a longform article about how Miller had problems giving a poo poo going back to junior, but now that he's gotten over that he is successful, which really should have been a warning sign.

My favourite part of the Canucks meltdown is that Jason Dickenson scored again, and is still on pace for 82 goals.

Sure he’s shooting at 50%, but he only got 5 last season in total..

He was such an obvious candidate for regression. Losing him was hard enough, but having to pay a 2nd to dump him is as poor asset management as anything Benning did.

For those jersey shopping, Fanatics is having a sale which actually includes them for once. Grabbed a Laine CBJ jersey for 30% off.
