Loui Eriksson rocks my world for ever and ever. Glad to see LE getting some support ! At last a CDCer who can separate contract and player during the game. Good to see logic over the usual emotional stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Boring game. Cheech was irate and rightfully so lol. That was a terrible non-call, but it's the NHL so whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting Petey was 50% luck Remember the year before when Dubois was taken before he dropped to us? Petey could have been the same. Just sayin No, it was brilliance. They have good, long looks at these players and take a lot of heat when they go away from the order of things. They knew what they'd have in Petey and that's why they took him. I mean, all picks are "luck" when they turn out because you just never know. So give credit where it's due...a brilliant selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize you are talking about a beloved ex-Canuck who has played his way in to the KHL, after two seasons with a strong Sharks squad? Hansen was a good member of the team, but his time is done. I loved the guy's time here too, but Nux is not wrong about Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Legitimate question from a foreigner, btw) "they" is currently the prefered pronoun of the trans gendered. I use they also when I am unsure of gender I do not understand why the TG community didn't pick a new word rather than repurposing a word currently in use, but they didn't. I does get confusing , but it is accepted language of our time. "They are wearing blue shirts," is talking about multiple people without mentioning gender "They is wearing a green hat," is talking about a single tg or a person of unknown gender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom continues to steal games, What a …..a...….NJD game out of the 90's, so boring the Canucks should be penalized a draft pick. so evident after the second period, dump the puck in and don't bother trying to score just keep it on the boards and eat the clock. I wondered why the boys were not taking advantage to go to the net a few times until I watched Horvat get the puck and then wait for someone to come to him, as a matter of fact he didn't even look like he was trying to get a shot on goal.

On the off chance you are, is it possible they are merely having a good time and that a celebration song post game has nothing to do with a theoretical "turn the other cheek" attitude? Or, if you are saying that a post game song can have that much influence on a group of players, the idea that "that don't impress me much" could be viewed as their mantra toward winning. That is to say they aren't impressed by winning and instead just come to expect it. Which isn't such a bad way to go about your job. Anyway, it's in my nature to over analyze things and you are certainly entitled to your rant, but I just wanted to come at it from a different angle.

Cheers mate, for sure man could view it that way but what a weird way to express the "it doesnt impress me" after you know... coming out in the third up 2-1 and not pressing the play at all half way through the 3rd shots were 12-2 for dallas wasnt it? talk about "that dont impress me much". Its more a long history of their on ice antics through many years and different players. marchand using sedins head as a speed bag infront of the net with no response always comes to mind. but i guess im bias. 17 years of playing hockey and if i ever seen another player do that to one of my team mates id be suspended for a very long time.

And judging them based on it? Honestly, there could be an inside joke that the team knows about that we don't. People bond over things that aren't often obvious to others. This is prehistoric thinking. Men who are confident enough to listen to what they want are the ones I want on the team...not those who feel they have to follow a path. Leaders. Besides, for me, it's likely very tongue in cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Khudobin did what he had to do to beat Pettersson. He's not good enough to make the save. Probably crapping his pants at the thought of Pettersson embarrassing him. Well, it robbed Pettersson of setting the new rookie record. Thanks refs. That's okay, he'll do it tonight against CHI. Good for Schaller, happy for him. Markstrom was great, again. Is it me, or does Horvat look off? Granlund needs to go. Goldobin scratched again? I think this only crushes his confidence and lowers his stock. Don't agree with Green here. Leivo is a keeper. What a shot. I wish Virtanen was s smarter player. He'd probably have double the goals and points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlemonger Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Still loving the Leivo robbery. Boeser is playing some of his best hockey in the big league lately as well. There is more to him than just sniping; that's becoming very apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Missed the game. But caught up on the replays. I can't believe that was not a call on the stick throwing by the Khudobin. But the NHL response today was pathetic. Instead of just admitting they got it wrong, some feable excuse that in their telepathic wisdom, they deduced that the goalie didn't mean to throw it.......he just did.....so.....its okay. Why isn't this call just the same as high sticking, or tripping, or shooting the puck over the glass, or EVERY OTHER SIMILAR CALL? Where intent is not the issue, it is the result. ie..it doesn't matter even if Khudobin didn't mean to throw it (even though it doesn't look that accidental) the fact that he prevented a scoring chance, should be enough to make the call. Anyways moot point. Just throw it on the giant pile of terrible ref calls that went against us, many instances at the worst possible times, over the years.

He'd probably have double the goals and points. Agree Bo looks a bit off but remember, he is playing with LE, the invisible man and offensive black hole. Don't get the Goldy benching either. He has shown much better engagement all over the ice and in the past few games made some solid defensive plays. At least Goldy brings some offensive creativity and energy, LE just kills the clock. Jake didn't look very engaged last night. He has such great tools but seldom does he impact a game the way he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
