Some people were putting some of the onus on BB for the hit. My point was that BB did not turn his back the last second, nor did he give Tierney little time to change the course of his actions. I stated very clearly he took 4 or 5 steps while BB had his back to him with the implication that he had plenty of time to make a decision whether to hit a player in a vulnerable position. Nowhere did I say that he took 4 or 5 strides directly into the hit. Nowhere did I mention "charging". We agree on most of this, I just dont like being accused of lying. Fair point, just used to people saying 4+ strides as a roundabout way of saying charging without saying it. Apologies for the accusation, cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He was facing the net then turned toward Brock and took 3 strides. I counted them. Looked at the clip twice, to be sure. Glided as he delivered the hit, yes. Sad thing is, it doesn't meet the definition of charging as there are multiple examples/reasoning of different variations/levels (and excuses?) that factor in. As long as they continue to fine tooth comb these things, they'll continue. If you want something to stop, you stop it. I'm all for hard hitting hockey and, truth be told, I do feel Tierney had a moment afterward where he almost looked like he wanted to see if Brock was ok...I don't feel it was "predatory" or meant to be vicious...but I think it was reckless. On both parts...but I want to see the responsibility put on the guy who actually SEES the other guy and can veer off course to avoid a dangerous collision. Not give him a shove head first into the boards. The guy with his back turned because the puck is there is playing hockey...retrieve the puck and score. Not Red Rover. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with the no charging call, because it wasn't. How it wasn't 5 and a game for boarding minimum and not further looked at by “player safety” is beyond me. 2 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seriously expect Buttman's DIPSticks to take any action just because a blatantly dirty suspendable hit put a Canuck star on the IR do you? As we have seen, it takes a WWE move for that to rate even a minimal punishment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 At least it seems that it wasn't Boeser's head that was bothering him the most. Also would explain why he got a lot of medical treatment after that game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would explain why he got a lot of medical treatment after that game. Yeah, definitely got lucky. Although it’s kinda weird to say that having whiplash and a minor concussion is lucky, but it could have been far worse. I always find it worth remembering that all concussions are traumatic brain injuries, so it’s scary stuff when players go on protocol. It’s an injury that impacts the brain—the part of the body that makes us who we are—and this league needs to up its game when it comes to responding to plays that result in these types of injuries. In my mind, every time this type of thing happens, there need to be severe consequences to the perpetrator, regardless of their “intent” or whether they are “that kind of player.” Truly accidental plays resulting in head injuries, sure, give the perpetrators the benefit of the doubt and a light punishment. But idiotic moves where a defenceless player is sent headfirst into the boards, those plays need to be met with lengthy suspensions (like 10-20 games as a starting point), every single time, regardless of history. Repeat offenders should lose entire seasons. Habitual offenders should be banned from the league. We’re talking about the health of players brains here. These injuries can have lasting impacts that go far beyond a hockey career and affect players their entire lives. The league must drastically step up their enforcement and punishment of head injuries. Just my $0.02. And with that off my chest this morning, let’s drop the damn puck and get this season going. Can’t wait to watch Brock and the other core young stars this year. Hopefully they have a special season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 Quote October 05, 2019 Journal entry by Laurie Boeser — Oct 5, 2019 Duke continues to rehabilitate at Bethesda - physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. He is getting stronger and will be discharged soon. He will be coming home instead of going to a care facility. He will need 24 hour care - I’m currently working out all of the details. He will continue to get therapies at home. I’m a bit nervous about this transition however he will be so happy there. He can’t wait to watch Brock and the Canucks play again. The games are televised too late to watch in the hospital but we will record them at home. Prayers are appreciated as we continue our journey The photo includes our niece Jenny who is a huge hockey fan like Duke. This one hit me...I know that uncertainty and how daunting the "how will we manage?" thoughts can be. With that, with love and family support it's the best thing you can do for a loved one...give them the peace and comfort of "home". That's not to say that at times the right decision isn't to place a loved one in care if it's in everyone's best interest. The caretakers have to take care of themselves too or everyone's at risk. Not every family's in a position to give full time care and attention....I feel we were lucky as my Dad was an angel who worked, tirelessly, to keep the family intact through it all. Assumed all responsibilities for cooking, cleaning, working, etc. I didn't live at home then but Dad was/is amazing. But my Mom was 52 when she was paralyzed on her left side and went from a totally independent woman to someone who couldn't even dress herself. But, through the struggles of it all, all I remember now is the laughter. The warmth as we tried to fumble through it all together. Best of luck to the Boesers as they navigate these waters. With the support of this entire province behind them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rear ended and thought I was fine....until it slowly revealed itself, over time, to not to be the case. Hope Brock recovers, fully, from that. And yeah, apologies are only as good as the intent to not do that again. If it happens again, then it sort of nullifies the apology. Anyone can have a momentary lapse of judgement...especially at real time hockey speed. But it's not good enough to go "woops"....make sure it's the first/last time if you're truly sorry. Don't be a Marchand. I hope Tierney truly IS sorry and it was a one off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Boeser's playmaking game might have taken another step... I saw him making some pretty slick plays to get the puck to teammates last night. Anyone else notice this? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JeremyCuddles Posted October 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2019 Gotta send Boeser some love. Seen a clip on the Canucks twitter page of Biega's return. He gave him a really warm embrace. Boeser really is class personified. Also speaks to Biega's character. He seems to be well respected by his peers. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So out shut-down and energy lines are getting offensive zone starts and our scorers are getting defensive zone starts? Am I reading that right? Think it's just a short-term thing? Maybe that's just where the puck happened to be dropped when the match ups Green wanted those lines out for were out?

Mrwipeout Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well in any case im glad they put together Miller-Petey-Brock. When first hearing about the miller trade i had that line in my mind all along. They have started producing and i think they will produce consistently throughout the season. Brocks production goes up and when he gets a few goals he will get some of that confidence u only get by scoring goals. Its what he does and has a natural talent for it. This line looks solid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post redhdlois Posted October 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2019 Great news for Duke ! October 18, 2019 Journal entry by Laurie Boeser — 19 minutes ago Our family is feeling incredibly blessed. After 2 1/2 months, Duke is home! On Tuesday afternoon, I packed up his hospital room, put a lucky Hawaiian shirt on him (provided by my brother, Gregg) and we headed to Burnsville. We took a detour as I got him a chocolate shake from Culver’s. He said, “this is the best shake” with a big smile. Once home, our collies, Jasmine and Samson, welcomed him with kisses. And that night, he finally got to watch a Canucks game! Since Wednesday, we’ve had home healthcare visits, Dr appts, CT scans along with getting our house equipped for his safety. He is not real steady on his feet and definitely needs to continue with his therapies to get physically and mentally stronger but he has pleasantly surprised many people with his current state. We had some friends and family over last night to watch Brock and the Canucks play St Louis. He was all smiles. We continue our prayers for our “miracle Duke”. And again our heartfelt thanks for the ongoing love and support 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
