Morning coffee musings 8/29: DeBrusk ready to cook. Loves playing with Quinn. Who wouldn’t? Skills coach says EP’s flow is back. O’Reilly to Canucks? Demko’s knees key to Vezina? Garland & Boeser career yrs? Will be X and O changes. More offense from defense. Lace ‘em up. #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 8/25: EP is married to Katelyn Byrd? Wow, quiet wedding! But… congrats of course. Everything about EP is quiet. Does marrying online influencer settle things down for him? Having a wife, healthy, bulking up… may be good. Life does affect a player. Vancouver time. #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 8/22: Bring back JC retros!! Johnny Canuck has a Cup. Kane ready to light up for Van. Can he inspire DeBrusk sandpaper. EP2 - it’s time! Maybe Willander time. If traded, better be good. Not sure about Footie, but… Can Kravtsov cut it? Nice size and skill, but… #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 8/21: I smell hockey. Chytil could surprise. Quinn monster year ahead? Healthy Demko Vezina? Petey regain 1/2 step? First 20 is season… Must be 24 pts, or better. All aboard Sherwood train. Still a surprise trade? Last yr sucked. But Abby Canucks won it all!

Next Season News Stories? Dec. 15, 2025: Quinn Hughes 2nd period spirited fight with brother Jack, for what he described as “cheap shot”, and his subsequent ejection from the game, has ended trade speculation to New Jersey. #Canucks

Bottom line: it’s dam* hard to rebuild your top 6 without cap space or having tradeable players coming off stellar years… especially in a year when the cap goes up so teams have money to re-sign who they want. Deflating. So hit repeat, with a not-Cup-ready team that has lots of questions to answer.

So my fellow Canucks fans, enjoy watching Quinn Hughes while he’s here. Unfortunately, and I’ve said this many times, the Vancouver problem is a well-intentioned but impatient and sometimes meddling owner whose strategy dooms this franchise to mediocrity.

You have to have an owner and a fan base committed to that clear, slow evolution. Arizona, almost a joke franchise before moving to Utah, are perhaps a recent example, whether by design or inevitability, of a team building a core of players and assets through the draft that they can now run with.

The bottom line is that the strategy for team building in this market has to be the draft. Not just with a couple of high picks, but a cohesive strategy to consistently draft high with as many picks as possible until you get that right core and collection of assets that you can then build around.

Why is Edmonton, a smaller Canadian market, a somewhat attractive destination? Only because they drafted two of the best players on the planet. The Canucks lucked into Quinn Hughes in the draft. But one top level player is not going to create the gravity for others to want to come here.

Aquilini has tried to buy a winner. It’s not working. Yes, there is a model out there that says wise choices via trades and free agency wins cups, but not in Vancouver. Trying to buy a Cup in Vancouver will never succeed.

The bottom line is that it is hard to win by throwing money at free agents, or even to win trades when the Canucks are on a lot of no trade lists. Building the way a lot of other teams build outside the draft is not really a viable option.

This is an NHL destination that is unlikely to be desired by any player, except perhaps for those who grew up here. They can’t compete with tax havens like Florida, or the sexier markets like NY, LA, Boston, or even Toronto and Montreal in Canada.

Here’s how to get a Stanley Cup to Vancouver, imho. First, Canadian NHL teams are at a disadvantage because of exchange rate and taxation. Vancouver has polarizing media and a fan base that is passionate, but essentially believes that something bad will always happen to their team. #Canucks

In some odd way, since Kane is kind of an odd duck and stylin’ kinda guy, he and Petterson might really hit it off, and be excellent linemates. Both need to be healthy however. #Canucks

Interesting Kane has never survived a full season without injury. Having said that, the operations sought to correct a lot of problems, including a growth on his knee. If all have mended well, he could be in better shape than he has been. #Canucks

So let me get this clear. After an unresolvable feud between Miller and Petterson, that left Petey in question, and players around the league not excited about joining the Canucks, they trade for Evander Kane, who was always a questionable room guy. WTF. Someone make this make sense. #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 1/15: This team continues to confuse. Miscues. Lacklustre. Blanky had a bad game. But he wasn’t alone. Was it “just one of those games”? Or? JT played 14:37…?!! No one’s being honest here. Somethings off — and silence. Ugly. But there was a Hogz goal! Next! #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/9: Tough one. Better first. Lots of give and take. Hughes blood… face shield. Still scores. Juulsen and Raty take out Cirelli/Cernak. Woody buries Myers pass. Looked okay at 2-2. But Kucherov PP show. Needed a top line goal. Still dialing in home ice. Next! #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/8: Vinny on breakaway: It could have been a lot better. Ah… yep. Forbert getting ready. Demmer ready? Klimovich: 9 goals, 13 pts in 19 gms. Not bad, for Abby. Chris Cry-der doesn’t want to come here. Great. Joshua goal today. Time to beat the Bolts. GAMEDAY #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/7: One period of no show. Two periods of Hughes magic. Seriously breaking legs. Lanks keeping them in. Boes back on the board. Jake snags 1. Suter the scorer with a deuce. The Sherriff got 1. Garly usual pin ballin’. Demmer on the bench… Gotta feel good. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/6: The LTIR & accrual machinations this szn are hard on my brain. Hope it helps land a big fish. I’d be into seeing McWard play. The JEB line playing well. Boes snubbed by USA. Hughes is Hart-worthy. Team playing stingy hockey. Need to play Swift tonight. 🤪 #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/5: Middleton after last gm: both teams were a**holes… it was great. Sasson had a good cup of NHL hockey. Raty sticking for face offs. JR: lay off JT. Respect. Hronek 8 wks… ugh. Again don’t rush it. Good to see Soucy step up. Time to be a**holes at home. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/4: Gritty effort. Toc called it “great game”. Fun to watch. Petey making it happen. DeBrusk still hot. Hogz shows life. Dirty hit on Kiefer. Boes can’t buy 1st after injury. Thot he had it in OT. Soucy/Juulsen pretty good. Lanky solid. Point good. 13-7-4 ✅ #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/3: Last road gm, toughest opponent. Been a wild ride already. Suter seems a glue guy. Sasson showing well. Time for his 1st goal. Kuzma: DeBrusk’s dad says, “the guy (son) is a hound”. Ahwoooooo! Keep it rollin’ Missing JT. Bring on KS/DJ, the Bruise Bros. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/2: Hattrick Jake! OT laser!!! Finding his groove. Nice comeback win. NHL record for Lanky. 10-0-0 on rd to start… better than Glenn Hall ;) Apple record for Huggy. Chomp, chomp! Sorry Edler. Hughes plyd 31:04 👀 Suter… re-sign him! Nice Branny bomb. Nice job. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 12/1: 12-7-3 12th ranked offense. Okay. 21st ranked defence. More consistent goaltending. Better structure & new D? Toc beating the drum. Hogz in the Hoghouse. Despite roster churn, hanging in. A goal for Suter vs old team? Boes & DJ back on the board? Let’s go #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/29: Hronek… man, the hits keep coming. Maybe not Nucks year? Like NJ last yr. BUT, if they make it to post season healthy, watch out. Friedman back. Toc will be D juggling. No desperation trades please. In Chef Allvin I trust. Pull together Noon start… wut!? #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/28: Bet Toc said, win the 3rd. They did. Not bad for tired group. But too big a hole. 3 unanswered in 5 min… ugh. Net front a mess. Arty rough. Toc: needs to be bigger in net. The Rat gets a goal. Petey strong. Hughes still wheelin’… Flush it… on to Buffalo. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/27: Lankinen… Lankinen…! Serves a Bruin donut. DeBrusk man of the moment. Quiet celly. Shots look bad but they battled. Lopsided PP gifts to the Bs. Yep BS. Yes! Boes back. Garly never has a soft shift. Joshua puck swallower. 17 hits for KS & DJ. Bash bros… #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/26: Boeser is back. Maybe. A goal to celebrate? The lines could be interesting tonight. Abby on a heater with 3 road wins. Lekky 6 goals in 9 gms. Tolopilo playing well. DeBrusk & Heinen back to play the Bs. New dad Garland needs a goal. So does DJ. Let’s go #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/25: At this rate Sherwood might be the NHL signing of the decade. He & Brusker elevate Petey. Is Branny & Myers a thing? Seemed pretty good. Also life in Soucy. Amazing QH ready to eclipse Edlers assist record, already. Toc on smart game: Proud of the guys. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/24: Not gonna lie, thought they were cooked after Quinn tossed. Huge game by Hronek and the boys. Petey’s line 7 points. Monster EP hit. Jake awake with 2. Shersy hitting/scoring. Max Sasson’s dad pumping. Nice first assist. Looked good. Joshua standing in. #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/21: Demko “week or two”? Boeser mending. It’s DeBrusk time on the road. JT wondering how playing uncomfortable and fun coexist. Not the only one. Johnny Canuck knows. Breathe in some tall tree air. Congrats to Gars on baby “Quint”! Papa does love sharks… #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/19: Rats is a face off beast. Plus gets tips from Manny, one of the best. Toc on fast play in NHL: players go into “awareness mode”. Move your feet first. Bit of a goal drought without Boes. Need a bushel against Rangers. Imagine 3 Petterss(o)ns!! EP3? #NHL #Canucks

Morning coffee musings 11/18: The game turned half way. When Petey scored all seemed well. Then gave Stamkos a month to line up his shot. After that… messy. Despite Branny, D still needs fixing. JT played unhappy. Toc was not happy. Nagging injuries? Preds played motivated. Reset. #NHL #Canucks
