Love this guy. I was a 15 year old goalie living in Hamilton Ontario. Jim was a backup goalie for the Red Wings. He came to our school to give a talk, he was so great towards us, and he went so far as giving me tips on how to be game ready. Many years ago but I never forgot his professional approach and kindness.
Jim is in year three with a Calder,Vezina and Norris calibre players he inherited from Benning and the team is floundering so enough of your predictions. He gutted Pittsburgh in the same way he is gutting Vancouver now of their picks and prospects to win now.This is essentially what Gillis did and we all know how that set back the franchise.
@@battistimo same guy that drafted Jake Virtanen, Joni Juirmo, Olli Juolevi... Podz. Traded Kesler, Forsling, McCann? Oh and Stanley Cup Champion OEL is still on the books cause of him too but I don't even want to think of where Canucks would -still- be if he were on the roster.
Without Lankinen Canucks are probably in the last place. Simple fact- win the shot clock for one period, they can’t do it. Every game other team beat us on the shots, without shots no goals. They can’t shoot the puck. 11 million guy doesn’t even worth 11,000
So far this season you just don't know what team is going to show up. Last night was not the same team that shut out Florida...its getting frustrating how inconsistent these guys have been. Pick a lane. In Rutherford and Allvin we trust!
Trade Brock to Jersey for Simon Nemec. If Brock doesn’t take bargain deal one hopes Lekkerimaki can eventually replace those goals. Hronek, Willander, and Nemec as your right shot D with Quinn on Left side is a great foundation. Everyone wants goal scorers; especially during a playoff run. Brock could look good in Jersey even if he’s a rental. Jersey will not be able to afford all their D. They are in a win now mode.
jesus CBC audio dudes. the rejection on those headsets are so high. Made this interview annoying AF to listen to. Quiet-ish after game. Please god lav mics, Worse than AM radio compression
@ hronek is injured you muppet. hughes hronek soucy myers brannstrom & forbort/desharnais isn’t that much worse than cole/zadorov. cole was garbage in playoffs. our offence is trash this year yet we have way better forwards than last year
Are the Canucks the 2nd coming of the Flames from a few years ago - great one year then abysmal after for years to come after losing a single playoff series to McD lol
Must be tough to go on national TV right after your club lays a turd at home for the umpteenth time this year. (Only 5 wins in 15 games!) Fans pay huge $$ to see the Canucks at Home, and don't deserve such a dismal performance - time after time. You can see the crowds thinning as the season goes by. Something needs to change.
I second this, i started cheering for them in 94' and when they lost that one i thought for sure it wouldn't take long to get back and win the whole thing. Now i'm an old man and still no cup in sight, so yeah i completely agree, were never gonna see them win it so might as well just accept it and move on, a lot less heartache...................SIGH!
not true, every team needs a goalie who is the backbone, no matter what team you are or at least a steady goalie. The team is simply inconsistent, but they have put together some great games to be above 500 by 6 games it's not solely their goaltending, even though his play has definitely won some games, you need a good goaltender to win in this league. i think your comment is based off disappointed and not logic lol.
@@andrewvincent6776 Wrong, without Lankinen this team is bottom 10, i'd bet the farm on it. He's broken records for wins on the road this year dude, can imagine if we were relying on Silovs.....Give your head a shake!
"We know what Demko's gonna get paid"? Seriously Jim? If Demko shits the bed the 4 months he aint getting paid squat and his career is probably over........Sigh!
Imo, all the accolades to Toccet, went straight to his head. The way i see it, he is Messier 2.0. Like i said before, Edmonton’s coach continues to do wonders with his group since last losers year. Key word is continues. We do not have that. Just players becoming mechanical deflated spirit robots, with a boost now and then. Where is the toxicity?
Rutherford's plan was never gonna work out. This franchais has a clueless owner who refuses to recognize that the issue with the Canucks is that they won't commit to a rebuild. He goes out and hires Rutherford, who specifically said that he will not rebuild and try to win a cup in 5 years. How is he going to do that? In this 2nd year, he already lost his key players to free agency. Worst of all, how do you expect the players to compete when every year you have new teammates? It's not on the players, this is on the management.
This is why no one likes Vancouver or Toronto, a player needs time off and now there’s speculation and rumours going around. Just let the play be. Stop making things up
Rutherford had the most rediculous non answers on questions... - we've been playing a lot of games Every team plays the same amount of games. - We've beaten our selves 2-3 times at home.... Yeah in the lady 10 days. Be honest. It's been ALL year. You let Zadorov go in favor of Myers and Forbert. You could have signed a legitimate 3rd D man who would look good with Bransstrom. Now we've got Soucy and Juulsen... The pick ups beyond DeBrusk and Lank the Tank have not been that good. Yes Sherwood is a gem. But Heinen and Vinny are absolute busts. For some reason when Kevin got the flu you still had Svilos on the bench. Tolopio would have been the correct call up. How is it that fans seem to see more then those who have become millionaires working in this league.

Jim is an absolute gem. Straight shooter and I love it
He’s a creep and a pedo
A tale of 2 Jims. If Rutherford had been here in 2014 instead of Benning I predict we'd have a Stanley Cup by now. Rutherford is a class act.
Benning was a 7 year infliction on this team. He should’ve been fired after Kesler trade.
Jim is in year three with a Calder,Vezina and Norris calibre players he inherited from Benning and the team is floundering so enough of your predictions.
He gutted Pittsburgh in the same way he is gutting Vancouver now of their picks and prospects to win now.This is essentially what Gillis did and we all know how that set back the franchise.
@@roundnround365 You just want to hate dude.
Who drafted Pettersson, Boeser, Demko, Hughes, & traded for Miller & Garland?

Have so much respect for Mr.Rutherford.
1st class!
Absolutely LOVE that last answer about the goaltending!!!
I can't get enough of Jim's straightforward answers. No nonsense at alll, just a straight shooter.

I trust Rutherford and Allvin to make the right moves. When that’ll happen idk but I will trust them.
the fcked up wen they signed ellias!
I used to watch Rutherford play goal for the wings at Olympia stadium.
What a gem.
Jim is 10 steps ahead of everyone. We're just living in his world. Haha
Omg if we can keep LAnkenin and Demko together ill freak out!!!! my dream
Getting 20 shots or below a game isn’t going to win you many games!
“…Hard to watch”
Got that right
he didn’t even say that today
@ he did
I love the objectivity
Elias pettersson for Sydney Crosby?
Need to ask the tough questions. What's the deal between JT Miller vs Pettersson?
No
THIS IS ABSOLUTLY RIGHT!!!!!!
Good hearing from Jim, calm the fans it’ll be alright. Still lots of trust in mgmt
Bring Crosby, JR! Go Canucks Go!!
Crosby for Hoglander, D-Petey and a bag of pucks 😂
What a pathetic effort. I turned it off after the second goal - unwatchable!
Him and Allvin made a mistake signing 11.6 million “if” we want to win right now, i think they have to move 11.6 to get couple more players
He held it down while the team was injured … we need to bring in puck moving defence men and get rid of juulsen Vinny and forbot
@ this man is getting paid 11.6 million, he needs to do more. I guarantee you he will be a no-show in the playoffs.what did he do last playoffs?
Pasta just cooked the Nucks, This team needs to step it up when they play at home...
So far this season you just don't know what team is going to show up. Last night was not the same team that shut out Florida...its getting frustrating how inconsistent these guys have been. Pick a lane. In Rutherford and Allvin we trust!
Who decided to give Jimmy a mic again
Best management group in the league, once they move Pettersson, it will all fall into place.
Trade Brock to Jersey for Simon Nemec. If Brock doesn’t take bargain deal one hopes Lekkerimaki can eventually replace those goals.
Hronek, Willander, and Nemec as your right shot D with Quinn on Left side is a great foundation.
Everyone wants goal scorers; especially during a playoff run. Brock could look good in Jersey even if he’s a rental.
Jersey will not be able to afford all their D. They are in a win now mode.
They'll turn it around. Go Oilers.
go canucks go 🇨🇦
Thanks man
I hope so
Oilers and jets are only other canadian teams i would cheer for. If canuck suck

Yeah the After Hours curse is a real thing
2:10 bro he’s dealt with a way better offence and a midly worse defence 💀
You don’t understand hockey if you think Brannstrom/Juulsen/Desharnais/Forbort is only “mildly worse” than Cole/Zadorov

Resigning Lankinen means Boeser and Hoglander are both gone

Totally agree. I feel so sorry for the fans. Many empty seats a the start of the game.

Without Lankinen this team is bottom of the league. Same l;aast year when Demko was healthy before tehy ran him into the ice and injury.

don't want to pry about JT but asks two follow up questions
Teams never gonna win the cup.
