Altitude is such a funny, low-rent network. I don’t even know how you get a mouse cursor on the screen for a full 10 seconds on a live TV broadcast. I’ve never seen that before

Roughly 1 game per year, Altitude will forget to cut to commercial at a commercial break it just broadcast through it. happened this season about a month and a half ago, left the broadcast on an on-ice camera and you could hear the broadcasters talking

I 100% approve of Bruce clowning on the Canucks on the way out. Insane how the Canucks have handled this so poorly that the coach of a team that's out of playoff contention by January has the full sympathy of the fanbase and the media. It should have been the easiest thing in the world to fire Boudreau the right way.

Yeah, JR saying they’ve been looking for a new coach for 2+ months now is bush league, last weekend Elliotte Friedman all but announced Rick Tocchet’s the next Canucks coach….what’s the hold up? Why leave Bruce twisting in the wind?

Tocchett had to give a 4 week notice at his current tv job. Now, they could have just fired Bruce and have an interim. The argument against that (outside of the morale side) is that a lot of times you get in a new coach, even interim, and the change kick starts the team to play better and win more. Which, if you are trying to actually tank, is no good. The reason why that whole paragraph I just posted is irrelevant here, is that the interim coach Vancouver would have is Mike loving Yeo. Who is a very bad coach. So it’s extremely stupid because they could have done the interim coach 1-3 months ago and still have lost a bunch of games. Not like their roster is good anyway. Also, all this for Tocchet is funny since it’s not like he did some amazing job in Arizona. But I assume he’s friends with JR , so there you go.

I’m sure Trevor Linden feels vindicated for calling for a rebuild the year after the Sedins left. Too bad AquaMan fired him for it and there’s been ~6 years of retooling It’s funny how the bubble playoffs convinced Canucks ownership they had a contender lol

With only 32 head coach positions in the NHL, every team is gonna have a long line of people wanting to prove themselves no matter how toxic the organization is. USA hockey alone lists 35k coaches in the country. Obviously none of them are going to be NHL ready but the point is there are a lot more coaches than jobs out there.

Yeah and no-hopers like Tocchet and Johnstonesque randos from the minors/juniors are the only coaches the Canucks will ever have going forward. No coach that gets a call from even one other NHL team is going to return a call from the Canucks now.

I'm sure if Seattle has shown interest in Horvat, the Canucks have brought up Shane Wright's name. They wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't. At the same time I'm equally sure that Seattle's response was a curt "no" and the conversation ended there.

A whole season of the various teams owned by Canadian oligarchs who've never really had to be good at anything in their lives competing against each other and guaranteed playoff wins was bound to lead to someone thinking they were way way way smarter than they were

The Sharks, Canucks, Blackhawks, and Blues are interesting in that they collectively control probably the 8/10 top deadline assets this year: Meier, EK, Horvat, Boeser, Kane, Toews, ROR, Tarasenko. I wonder if any of them will move both dudes, probably the most likely candidate would be the Blackhawks. Along with those guys it's like Chychrun and Klingberg probably? Maybe Tyler Bertuzzi? Man I hope the Devils don't end with (another) sexpest/chud instead of someone cool to root for like Meier. e: and I think the Canucks can probably get a 1st or top 3 org prospect from some team, but not both. You gotta be scared as any seller after seeing what Chicago got for a two years from UFA DeBrincat although maybe you just chock that up to lolChicago (probably not though, I think it's just a leaguewide trend to hold on to cap friendly assets for dear life).

The Pens should be interested in Horvat since 3c is a big weakness for them and they have no insurance right now at all if Crosby or Malkin get hurt. It would require salary out for them though so they might have to overpay to make it happen. But he would fill a big need.

Oh I guess Henrique seems like a solid pickup this year, he's probably been Anaheim's best all around player this year and is ~ultimate clutch~ Nyquist too if you think he has any semblance of hockey left in him e: honestly if the price for Horvat/Meier is nuts, Henrique would be a perfectly fine pickup for the Devils, can play up and down the lineup, can play multiple positions, still a positive player out there and likely wouldn't cost much

ThinkTank posted:You can have Boeser for free. Honestly I'd rather have Garland. Boeser is a sad one for me, I was really high on him after that rookie year (I guess most everyone was), he looked like a sure bet to pop in 30 a year on Pete's wing, and he just...never took that next step. And now he seems to be going backwards fast at 25. e: actually gimme Quinn, Nemec and a first let's go baby fawning deference posted:I was thinking this too. I'd welcome his return. Yeah Henrique should definitely be a target. Honestly think Garland at 4.9 is pretty much fine, and that he could be money with Jack if he got a good run there. Mercer-Hughes-Garland would be dope This is a projection from when he signed that deal, I still think he could get close to this in the right situation: https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1420061431173730305/photo/1 T-Bone fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jan 21, 2023 |
