We want to get younger, 25 & under but you sign a 29 year old for $8 mil ($56 mil.) and he becomes a pylon. doesn't make sense.

Totally dodged question pertaining to where this team stands in regards to contention

John Garrett is an absolute tool! This team had made the playoffs 2 in 10 years! The difference is that Buffalo has a future! This team still thinks it's a playoff team 😂

0:18 John Garrett's reaction tells you everything you need to know....As a Canucks fan, I would be laughing too....😆 If we keep losing we might get a chance to get Connor Bedard.... That's the only positive thing to look forward to say the least...😂😂 At least the hockey gods don't have to do anything much to make sure we don't make the playoffs.... Playoffs?!?!?....Are you kidding me?!?!?... Playoffs?!?!?!?.... I just thought we could win a game?!?!

There's a Patrik Allvin card from when he played for Leksand in Sweden on eBay for $5 CAD

Great interview, he renewed my faith in the team, with his backing of Brock etc. which has been a topic making me quite upset lately, but he answered questions about him with complete clarity, backing him, explaining things regarding how tough it was dealing with his Dad, getting injured in training camp, being a good young player, and saying how much he loves it here, cool, calm and collective, I was upset with the team, but after seeing this, I love the support and backing that Allvin gives to Brock and the WHOLE team, and just, like I said, the way that he so calmly explains things, ah, were RIGHT in the hunt, Go

God that was boring . Canucks are in trouble I wish they were doing what Montreal's doing. JT signing made zero sense.

Patrick Allvin was thoroughly unprepared for this extended network interview. What a wasted opportunity. He did not sit down with key messages intact and sound bites to go with them. What was his purpose in doing this interview? He and the entire Canucks organization are in desperate need of media training. Their messaging is incoherent, from team president Jim Rutherford on down and definitely through Allvin. We led to these possible conclusions: 1) the Canucks do not have a coherent plan from which they can draw messaging and sound bites. or 2) management and ownership are unaware of the need to present coherent and clear messaging to the media. Or 3) management and ownership are too stubborn to devote the time and energy that is required when being interviewed by the media. This interview was a complete disaster. Give me a call, Canucks. I can help you.

people panic because people don't seem to have passion but it is important to think long term and as JR said to be not emotional
