Jim Rutherford : « La culture dans le vestiaire des Canucks est la meilleure qu’elle ait été depuis que je suis ici… vous n’avez pas à vous soucier que quelqu’un s’en prenne à eux dans la salle. »

*cough Conor Garland cough*
Make it make sense JR, if the culture was so bad then why did you resign everybody.
Kane? Cause he wasn’t doing anything on the ice
Culture can be better without blowing it up, sometimes it’s just removing one or two issues and guys settle in. Winning usually cleans a lot of that up too.
He said he’s not going to say who, but who do we think it was? Miller obviously, but people are throwing Garland around a lot

barking at teammates at practice was clearly a shot at JT Miller lol

I know we blame Kane for a lot of shit due to his past and I hope the team doesn’t re-sign him, but judging by his interviews and seeing him with the guys, I feel he was just more of a party Unc figure amongst the young guys this season.
I can live with the narrative they thought cutting Miller would fix the room and it turned out it was too late the MAGA boys were still making the room toxic. They made the wrong call so we need to start over and move on.
Best Culture at 32/32 thats a win in my books
If the locker room was so bad, how was the team so united and successful during 2023-24?
You can already see Buium, Willander and D-Petey reshaping the youth movement. Hronek and Boeser leading as veterans. As long as these guys are here, the culture will improve.
How could you let it fester this long, this guy is absurd.
JFC. I still vividly remember JR calling the culture a country club. And he did nothing but double down on it.
lol the room was so shit but the guy that built that room has no accountability for it. I wish my job worked like that.
Well he definitely isn’t talking about Tyler Myers sonwe all know who it is…
@JT Miller
Things got happier after Garland left. Didn’t have him as the locker room poison. Maybe it was all the changes together.
didn’t he say this after Miller was traded?
and some how it got worse?
Go away you creepy old fart. So you’re taking credit for the culture in the room now when you couldn’t manage it when we had a core of good players? You’re a failure. Shuffle off to the old age home.
One thing ive really appreciated about JR is his honestly and transparency
The vibes definitely were a lot better after the trade deadline, this team belongs to the kids now.
Curtis Douglas was the key.
Garland Miller and Hughes
JT Bully, Quinn Passive aggressive bully, I bet they both harassed Petey. OMG I’m so sorry Petey my sister is the same way.
Sell the team
IIRC JT wasnt traded this season, so he was just one part of the problem. The rest of that culture departed before or at deadline.
I think the answer to who was the problem is in the plays the Canucks moved out. Hughes. Miller. Garland. I think Toch was involved as well, mostly by giving them free rein.
Feel bad for Petey to be honest. Imagine coming to work every day with those pricks bullying you, literally bullying. I’m down on the guy sometimes, and do think a change would be best for him and the fans, but that would have fucking sucked,
But but but I thought Petey was the cancer lol of course this was a shot at miller and garland for that matter or hell even Hughes
Always knew Reichel was a locker room cancer
> Reporter: How did it get that bad? Not on the ice, but in the room.

> Rutherford: I’m probably not going to answer your question, because I’ll end up pointing fingers at people, and I don’t like to do that. But it was really bad.

We know you’re talkin bout Quinn, Garland and JT dude
He said since the trade deadline. Most shitty room guys were gone by the trade deadline. Deadline cleared the last of them. That’s your answer
This just confirms Hughes was absolutely toxic to the culture.
/s
(please come back Hughes I miss you)
Senile
« Let’s trade the captain and keep the bully. » Rutherford probably. Fuck this guy
If you re-signed Ian Cole none of this would have happened the way it all went down
We’ve had like 5 different the vibes are better now over the last few years. After Bo was traded there was the country club vibes are gone, it was certainly done post JT. Pretty sure there was even the vibes are better now storyline’s with Foote as coach..
The vibes were probably better because expectations for the team literally vanished. The win for Quinn stuff probably put all manner of pressure on a locker room that even with Quinn was rubbish. The players were able to play with little pressure and zero expectations.
I’ll believe the vibes are actually better if they can get the whole SJ losing but having fun thing going for more than a couple of months.
Clubs culture has clearly been garbage for years, maybe the last lot of trades were finally the ones that ‘cut the cancer out’, but it seem more like wishful thinking (and a good bit of the org pushing messaging to contacts that promotes season ticket holders to stay around…)
question – if management knew there was a problem in the locker room why didn’t they deal with it much earlier, before it blew up? the Canucks must have an HR person to deal with stuff like this – send them off to teambuilding, counselling, whatever
Well, that’s the Stanley cup already settled for next season, boys. Best locker room vibes in the league 🙏
