To the people who still mentions Toffoli's name. Seriously guys, GET OVER IT! Do you guys realize Toffoli is currently 3rd in the NHL in goals? Only guys with more goals than him is Matthews and McDavid. Toffoli has more goals than Ovechkin, Crosby, MacKinnon, Draisaitl, Pastrnak etc etc. Toffoli is performing more like a guy who gets paid 9 million. Nobody and I mean NOBODY could've predicted this. Not Benning, not Bergevin, not Toffoli himself. He's obviously having a career year and good on him for it. But lets see how he does next year when he's not facing the same 6 weak defensive Canadian teams.

Well, he did have 6 goals in 10 regular season games with us.
And then 2 goals in 7 playoffs games... while playing hurt for the most part...
So not even being generous or accounting for him playing hurt in the playoffs, we could have expected him to score just under .5 goals per game with us given the sample size (8 goals in 17 games) then yah, it is pretty reasonable to expect that he could have at least 22 or 23 goals right now after 45 games played. It's not like he's playing with amazing players in Montreal. Montreal just has way better defense than us and an overall much more solid bottom 6.

Prior to this season, Toffoli has scored 145 goals in 525 career games which puts him at 0.276 goals per game. Times that by 47 games played would put him right at 13 goals if we go by his career average. He currently has 27 goals. So double his career average. Also, if he was so good with the Canucks, why did he last until day 3 of free agency to be signed? None of the other 29 GMs jumped on him in the first 48 hours of free agency opening. Like I said, lets see how he does next year when he has to face the NHL's best goalies like Vasilevskiy, Grubauer, MAF, Varlamov whom all play for US teams

You could be right or wrong... like you said next year we will see
Maybe LA just wasn’t the best fit for him. Look at fuckin Sam Bennett now lol... best player in the NHL the past 2 weeks hahaha

Well LA did play a defensive minded system which is probably why Toffolis # are much better in Van & Montreal. The reason why people cant let it go is cause people instantly hated that Toffoli was let go and Virtanen was re-signed. And it took less than a couple weeks into the season to show them that they were right to feel that way and its been getting worse as the season progressed.
Gaudette saying not to believe everything u hear on social media and that his wife doesnt deserve what shes is receiving. Now im kinda intrigued what the real story is..... but hard to ignore the fact none of his teammates wished him goodbye on social media when its kinda customary to do so.

Plus Bo immediately stopped following Gaudette on social media once he was traded. That says something.

Any thoughts on this article from the Province rag? https://theprovince.com/sports/hocke...ot-good-enough
I find it a bit strange that neither Aquaman or Benning have not made a public statement about the league’s independent investigation about Virtanen.
This is a serious situation for Jake and a PR nightmare for the Canucks.
Is a mere public statement enough without the team owner or the GM saying something in public about sexual misconduct allegations against PerVirt?

When has this ownership or management group done anything right this year?
Our Canucks have become probably one of if not the worst run organization in the league. Certainly I feel like we might be worse than Ottawa now and that's saying something.... maybe Arizona is still worse off but I'm not so sure anymore. THere's a darkness around this team I haven't experienced as a fan since the Messier era, and that was even before the Virtanen story broke.
I'm even concerned about our superstars to be honest... like getting a bit worried if Hughes finds some way to bounce on us and doesn't re-sign, you can go back and read his comments all year long and see his body language I feel like it reads as if he doesn't want to be here anymore and I'm not sure I can blame him. I know he's got limited options coming off his entry level deal but...............
I can't see Miller sticking around for this tire fire.

^ lol the Messier era?? That’s extreme.
Hughes body language is probably because he’s been getting burned out there at times. People have the book on him and he’s playing with the big boys now.. can’t get away with what he has been his whole life. He’s nearly a defensive liability with huge offensive upside.
I don’t think the young core is going anywhere. Flat cap and COVID have made this season difficult for the Canucks but this is not the Messier era IMO.

Now you guys are upset Tryamkin isn't coming back? At best, he's a younger cheaper version of Tyler Myers. He's big, not gifted offensively and not overly physical. This is the NHL, not NBA, being a big D isn't much of an advantage. Other than Chara and Hedman, what other big D has had a great career? 3 of the best young Dman today, Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar and Adam Fox are all under 5'11"

Tryamkin is a bum and probably wouldn’t have ever come over again unless he had the perfect circumstances
Imo it’s moreso that we’re losing yet another asset for nothing, the GM JM special

The VPD is conducting an investigation into the sexual assault allegations against PerVirt.  https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/05...jake-virtanen/
The VPD says they have made contact with the complainant after learning of the allegations in media coverage over the weekend. Police tell NEWS 1130 they are unable to currently provide further details “in the interest of privacy and to protect the integrity of the investigative process.”

So Miller put us down 3-1 in the second period last night... it’s crazy how Jekyl and Hyde his game is this year.
Absolutely brutal giveaways, stupid penalty and another couple examples of just giving up on plays and letting the other team score.
But then he’s pretty much the only player besides Boeser and Hoglander driving any offense... so... shrug

Jake is fucked.
Predicting the order of events:
1. Police will take her statement and take statements of friends she told right after
2. Jakes lawyer will tell him not to talk
3. Police don’t have to seen as sexist and will forward charges
4. Crown also doesn’t want to be seen as sexist and they will approve it

If it was virtually anyone else on the Canucks there might be some credence to a false/exaggerated claim or going after some $$$
But since it’s Jake...yea..

Dude wrecked his career chasing pooooosayyy... sad. Besides this it’s also a big reason his skill set has never improved too I think.
These guys are really sex addicts like that they should hold their nut during the regular season and then go to countries where hockey doesn’t matter when it’s off season and ball out lol... make a fake name “Hi I’m Vake Jirtanen” lol

But since it’s Jake...yea.. | Usually having a significant other or spouse helps. Or the way the player is.
Jake had a pretty bad record so far. Like yeah he’s young making money, local boy first rounder. He had his out drinking during COVID incident, the flying to Disneyland on that date thing, etc.
Whereas we got Bo... it’s like comparing Steve Rogers to winter soldier.
Poster boy vs kid who can’t get it right.
