I am very excited by the results. I was reserved about the OEL buyout because of the future consequences. But since this was the result I have to grade the move as an A. OEL is playing well in Florida its a shame they couldn't have worked him into a hot streak here.
All this praise for JR. Same guy that came out last year and said he didn't like training camp, didn't like Bruce's offensive system and then kept it the worst kept secret in hockey when it came to his firing. Completely low-balled Horvat in negotiations and then came out and said our priority now is a trade. Guys in his position shouldn't be in front of the media, moreso behind closed doors. This team has been severely underperforming for 2 years. Green lost the room, Bruce comes in and goes 32-15-10 over the rest of the season and the you have JR calling him out, calling out the team, and they get off to a horrible start the next year. Yes a few pieces have been switched but the core remains. Why all of a sudden are they doing good? I believe they always were better than their record, but all this turmoil didn't help. Don't look at Jim Rutherford is what I'd say. Baby Yoda needs to retire.
Truly an eye opener about Jim Rutherford’s experience as Hockey player and now in Administration. The Canucks are now benefiting as a result of it. Please sum it all up with a Stanley Cup this Spring.
As a Vancouver resident and fan I can say Rutherford and Allvin took 2 years of hard questions and it wasn’t always pretty. They managed to keep the best parts of Benning era and add what the Benning crew could not do- add a grit and physicality. They also managed to remove the owner from the daily process which others had not been able to do. Most of all, they have added depth at Abbotsford and in Vancouver and it is starting to show. The fan base and the media are tough because there have been so many false starts over the years and the fan base does not fully trust ownership. They needed to add a credible hockey management and an outsider to see things from a different viewpoint. Still not all the way there but it finally feels like Canucks are on track. One request, please do not sell the future for present success, that’s been done in spades for years.
Ask him about the road to the trade deadline what his priorities are for improving the team. where can it get better. is it adding players or adding depth for injury a better priority?

Jim is literally Midas. Everything he touches turns to gold.
Wait till the Canucks conquer and even dominate the Golden Knights.

OEL was never really cut out for a big market, especially with a big ticket attached to his name@@darienlechner8530
House calls by owners are rare in pro sports

Dave Hodge should be in the hall of Fame. A whole life in hockey and still at it. CBC made a huge mistake when he got fired

I was not gung ho on some of the moves made, but I have to admit that Jim's and Alvin's moves have turned to gold. Keep up the good work.
this might be the oldest podcast segment on youtube

Boy long time since I’ve seen Dave Hodge
Still 51 games to go
ahem 82-34=48 but I know what you mean, sorry in advance.
Best GM since Patty Quinn
Wise words to live by.

Is that a Hoglander jersey?
year of hire be my guess.
It's an Eriksson jersey that has been bathed in holy water by the Pope.
@@darienlechner8530by Pope you mean Prime Jimbo; his predecessor 😅
Mason Raymond
Is that Bob McCown now?
Jim Benning built a great core. This regime is finally seeing the fruits of it.
True. This is Benning’s team. He found their gems.
he didn't build shit. he just drafted 3 good players.
@@joeynova9896 he drafted demko, boesser, petey, Hughes. Traded for Miller. This whole core his him and linden.
@@hchahal9145 you have a very short memory.
