That nuke job sure sent a message. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Edmonton Oilers | Oct. 13, 2021
The Colt 45s replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I believe our star players may take a couple of weeks to get up to par. -
Begining of the season. Tired of seeing the same play to set up Petey. Way too predictable. Need to have Oliver on the first PP unit because Quinn's positioning needs some work. I know it is early in the season, and our two star players missed most of training camp. But they are not up to par right now. We need momentum, positive momentum. So when we are in 9th place this season and we needed a few more points. Every game matters.

What grade would you give Canucks for their pre-season performance?
The Colt 45s replied to b3nnyb's topic in Canucks Talk
They have been doing this approach for several years. It would be nice to have your entire team play the preseason, to set them up for a seccesful season. But, you don't want some meathead that won't earn an NHL spot taking a shot at your best players -
Predict The Score Contest: VAN @ EDM Oct 13 2021
The Colt 45s replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
3 to 2 Edmonton, in a shootout. -
A lot of optimism for this team. Best tandem, if healthy, since 2010-2021. Time to see if that bears any good fruit.

ESPN+ is showing the games. It is a part of the Disney+ family and you can bundle your subscription there. -
[Signing] Canucks re-sign Jason Dickinson
The Colt 45s replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Has GB finally shown he is ready to make the right moves to make this team competitive and/or dominating again?\ -
I have been on here for 16-plus years. This page is filled with speculative stuff like what we will look like in two to three years. Who cares? We have to get through this coming season and that's it. Can we compete with a full roster? Has the team become more competitive on paper? How about jump on the Canucks train and enjoy the ride!

[Buyout] Canucks terminate Virtanen’s contract

Should be a pretty good ball hockey player once he gets out of prison. -
[Signing] Canucks sign Danila Klimovich
The Colt 45s replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Especially if he has the work ethic of Alexander Burrows. I went to a couple of practices when Burr was on the team. First one on, last off, and worked on drills, face offs, and shooting accuracy. \ -
I have three white sweaters because I live outside Canada want to represent--skate, Vancouver with the orca, and a Canadian Olympic sweater.

This logical post deserves everyone upvoting. It simply described the dynamics of faceoffs. Like Petey said the control of the puck is dependent upon the location of the draw. If you are on the PK taking a draw in the defensive zone and win that draw, you gain enough control--time and possession-- to throw it down the ice and hopefully all the way. This then benefits the way the PK D can set up with four across the line. It then allows them to clog things up and force more pucks back into the other zone. Winning draws changes dynamics. I think as a Texan living in Missouri and a lifetime Canucks fan, this post is better than eating fried pickles. When it is done right, they are fantastic.
