Chris Higgins on 650: You can’t teach a 6-7 year veteran ( EP40 ) to prepare better and put in the work. You trade those guys. It’s not something you can fix it’s a character issue

@KarlPercin @Sportsnet650 Since Miller was traded, they play together a fair bit.

@BuddJacket @Sportsnet650 How much did they play together? Not much since the lotto line got split up, and boeser also had a down year.

@Zer0PucksGiven You blasted this hiring a day earlier and now you've immediately done a 180. This is Ray Hatt levels of flip flopping, lol.

All the messaging today is hitting the right notes. Having a tandem that actually gives a shit about the future of the team on a personal level is long overdue. They're not in this to make themselves look good to the outside, they're in it to put this organisation back on the map

@steveroller7 But it likely will be at some point

@BuddJacket I believe Caleb is heading to the NCAA next year so not an immediate concern

After hearing RJ and the Sedins talk so much about team culture and values yesterday, it’s really hard to see them not picking Malhotra at #3

@PrimalAmnesia82 @KyloWen85 @Sportsnet650 Sure thing. Blame everyone else but the man himself.

@BuddJacket @KyloWen85 @Sportsnet650 Likely a combination of a putrid workplace and our league embarrassment medical staff not treating his injury properly.

@White3D64197 Ya and I didn't buy that as the full reason for his struggles either. It's definitely a combination of things that have gone on for two and a half years now.

@BuddJacket Can’t remember but thought EP said in ‘24 he was playing with a bad knee or tendinitis

Great answer from Daniel discussing preparation, but that won't solve all of EP40's issues. His decline began midway through 23-24, so you can't blame prep when he was great the first half of that season. Petey's issues are likely more complex and they need to trade him ASAP.

@KarlPercin @Sportsnet650 Brock Boeser isn't a good winger?

@Sportsnet650 Lets be real. The last time he had a good season he had a good winger to play with also. Not that he has not been bad, he has. but atlest give him a good winger to play with

@KyloWen85 @Sportsnet650 It's not the full story though. His play started to drastically decline midway through the 23-24 season. You can't blame preparation when he played and produced well the first half of that season. There's more to this than just offseason preparation.

@Sportsnet650 Agree that this is what's up with petey. Hated coming to the rink, fell out of love with the game, hates his job. Can be hard to recover from that toxicity

@Lotto6445151 @Sportsnet650 What an incredibly idiotic thing to say

@Sportsnet650 Wonder why the #Canucks sent the dumber Sedin to Halford and Brough. Guess Henrik will only be available to the eastern media.

I find the hate toward Quinn Hughes misguided. Not surprising, mind you. Just misguided.

@Sportsnet650 Yes, but I'm pretty sure you could say the same thing about every new Canucks President and GM during their first press conferences. It means nothing without results.

Did you like what you heard from Daniel, Henrik, and Ryan today? #Canucks

2. Francesco said the Sedins made the choice between Gold and Johnson. In the Sedins' own telling of the story, they corroborated. So all this talk of Gold being Vancouver's first choice, lowballing him, other rumours... it sounds like they chose Johnson and it's that simple.

Canucks Twitter when they read that Aqualini will be at a team press conference, then find out he won't be taking questions.

@Raymond_Hatt @seyerpa Ya, sure you weren't. Nice back peddling.

@seyerpa Oh not trying to roast him by any means just found the photo.

Found this in the archives good times.

@DrDangles87 This was honestly one of the more balanced takes at the time. Had Petey's play not fallen off the map in the last couple of years, everyone would have loved the bridge deal followed by the 8-year extension because it meant he was under team control for longer.

Turns out the bridge was a great deal, but they fumbled it when they opted to resign him instead of trading him for the likes of Necas. Thanks for digging this one up Ray! Let me know when you need another free pair of glasses.

@Sean_B_taketwo @Zer0PucksGiven @sarjakd @thealexblair @Canucks Honest question. What has he done to be a tool since he left? Because all I've seen are mundane quotes in the media that a group of bitter Canucks fans have desperately tried to twist to make him seem like a jerk.

@Zer0PucksGiven @sarjakd @thealexblair @Canucks 1000% this. He left in a really shitty way (he had clearly checked out on the ice) and has been just a complete tool ever since despite being treated like a god by fans while he was here and the organization bending over backwards to try to appease him.

I still don’t understand the Vancouver sour grapes toward Quinn Hughes. Would you have wanted to continue playing for Aquilini’s @Canucks over the last 10 years?

@Zer0PucksGiven @thealexblair @Canucks Show me the things he said that have been shots at the Canucks or the city of Vancouver. I'll wait.

@BuddJacket @thealexblair @Canucks Be serious lmao

@Zer0PucksGiven @thealexblair @Canucks There were no subtle shots and the only MAGA thing he did was visit the White House, like almost all his other Olympic teammates. You can dislike him if you want because he doesn't play for the Canucks anymore, but enough with the fabricated narratives.

@thealexblair @Canucks A lot of people understood why he wanted out. But the subtle shots he's fired at the fans and his former team mates, the sheer arrogance and maga esc behaviour he's displayed in the last 3 months have made him completely unlikeable and easy to root against.
