Unsurprising but I still believe in the boys to give us entertainment

I agree if you dont factor in injuries.
If you factor in injuries they are like a C+
I’d give them an F-
Management: F
Coaching: F
Players: D-
They really deserve that rating. This was supposed to be a playoff team.
Without injuries maybe a C. I mean they added Evander Kane who didn’t play a single regulation game last season and didn’t get a 2C just to end up tanking
If there was anything lower then a F thats what I’d give
That’s generous
Was going to say they are over rating us but I see that I was 7 min late to a thread posted 8 min ago.
Ownership: F-
It was a season where everything needed to go right for them to be a bubble team. And they needed to somehow find a trade for a centre.
That said, it was the offseason prior where things went off the rails for the Canucks.
(F) – Vancouver, St Louis and Nashville
Eh, fair I guess….
I do have to say that our injury situation has been overlooked a bit. People forgot that we’re missing the 2nd and 3rd line centers the entire year.
I mean I would give our coaching an F, and our GM an F, but I wouldn’t say that anyone’s underperformed
That’s generous. It’s going to be a long time before Adam Foote gets another head coaching job.
This team improved exactly nothing from last season roster wise so 🤷
F seems generous
I dunno how you can blame the players tho?
Most injured team in the league. At times almost half the lineup was AHL players. We had, in theory, one of the best goalie tandems in the league, and we have two AHL goalies on the roster.
We had, on paper, a really strong d corps, but were worst in the league for goals against.
Some guys could score more, but the offence was always a concern.
I think an F for management is fair, but I think the players we have are doing “ok” but they simply do not have an NHL roster, never mind vying for a playoff spot.
So basically “this is so bad I want to give you a zero but that’s not possible, so I give you a one”
Foote was a bad hire. I prefer guys who actually cut their teeth in the minors.
Coaching has been abysmal.
Can I give them a grade lower than an F? Maybe a G?
Fans A+
Lmao jk
Management sucks. We all predicted everything that’s happened. Everything. Chytil, Demko and more. Give me a break. This management team has no clue. I’m starting to think Aquilinis can’t hire competent management. Or rather are paying cheap $$$ to do so.
Either way, now they want to tank and hope to get McKenna to come and save the day I assume. Big question is what happens with Quinn.
Keep it going. No way we win a cup and it’s cup or tank. I choose tank. I’ll eat my words later.
JR stepping down his role after this season
Management has moved at a glacial pace, and the owner lives in a dream world.
Both deserve an F.
Garland, Hughes, EP40, and Sherwood have had flashes, but the D and PP have been putrid.
Just not big or fast enough to be classified a playoff team.
Ever since the playoff run we just decided to dismantle the team and burn it down
F for fantastic right??
So generous
Ownership gets an F- for the last 12 years of performance
I’ll take an F, way more useful than a letter like X or Y.
