Vancouver Canucks fans vent frustrations over disappointing season
Vancouver Canucks faithful have seen it all during yet another disappointing season – and several say they’re frustrated not only with the on-ice performance, but with a lack of answers from the team’s front office.
Players have been booed off home ice in several games, with jerseys tossed from the stands on multiple occasions. Less than half an hour before puck drop on Jan. 27, hundreds of tickets were still available for a battle between the Canucks and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ads on Craigslist offered lower-bowl seats for as little as $50 a head.
Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford said last month that the team needs “major surgery,” but that management was planning a “retool” instead of a rebuild.“It seems like there’s a real lack of direction or purpose in the moves that the front office makes,” said Andy Per. “I think it’s pretty clear that the roster they have right now isn’t good enough, but we keep making changes around the edges and trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
“I think the coaching situation felt mishandled,” Badke said. “It felt very messy. Knowing it was coming for so long made it hard to watch the bench.” “He was brought in, really, in a no-win situation, hired before a president or general manager was in place,” he said. “It’s just not the way that things are done. And he deserved a lot better than what he got.”On Monday, Vancouver traded captain Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders for forwards Anthony Beauvillier and Aatu Raty, and a protected first-round pick in the 2023 draft.
