Toms interview was the best thing about the game. 😐
I did like how he carried himself.
Crazy-Cook2035
He’s a gamer, and competitve as hell. I watched so much of him at BU
And guess what has happened to BU this season since he left?
It’s the first time they haven’t been ranked in 5 years. Defense core gets slaughtered nightly. They have collapsed without him munching huge quality minutes

That’s a veteran interview
shadownet97
Didn’t even play 82 games in the NHL yet he sounds like he’s been here for 15 years.
What being a member of the 2025-2026 Vancouver Canucks does to a mfer.

Agreed, Tom Willander.

i genuinely think adam foote is hurting the development of the young players, i really hope we sell as many vets as possible and fire foote asap
it just looks like the players have no idea what theyre doing at all times

say what you will about drafting safe, I think the Canucks org really values the interview during the draft and seem to really like their character guys like Willander, Cootes and winners like Medvedev and Buium (ik he was traded for but dude’s won at every level so far). Having guys like this is how we’ll get to fixing the locker room issues and you can point to both Willander and Cootes and say either of them are poised to be future captains.

Willander is such a beauty. Even with a goal tonight, he’s so straight up.
This is cultured. This is setting the tone.

That’s future leadership talk

His interview was really good, he was blunt and honest.

Management and the entire coaching staff should be fired after this pathetic excuse for a season

If Tom Willander can not only talk to press after a brutal loss but take accountability with it, then I don’t wanna hear any excuses from the vets

Hes right. It was a poor effort. Unfortunately that’s what we need rn

Just the way Footer wants you to tank. All hail tank commander!

Willander is the most down to earth and understanding player on this team.
That’s not a guess, that’s not hyperbole, that’s my first hand experience. He could very well be captain one day.

Sounds like my beer league team post every game
