Popular Post riffraff Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) My favourite part of the game was when Sutter came back around into the scrum and went after Labanc or Meier or whoever that was - after taking the gloved punch to the face. at first I was like: oh no! He’s taking it just like Daniel and then for the love of everything right in the world he entered the scrum and did some face washing. this is all about moving in a different direction and Sutter helped lead that. This is what leaders do. turning the check needs to never be a part of Canucks hockey again. Edited January 19, 2020 by riffraff 2 1 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead53 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It’s insane to think of how many point pettersen would have if even half of his posts where goals i think he will hone in that accuracy yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rekker Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Real nice to see everyone whooping it up on the boards. Been some tough years, particularly against the Cali teams. What a way to vault into first. Some day maybe some playoff success but in the meantime you have to enjoy the journey. As a fan, last night was ffnn fantastic. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hard fought victory against a desperate Sharks team that wasn't allowing much time and space out there. I'm loving how the Canucks are showing teams that there are no easy points to be had in their barn, a crucial element for any successful playoff run. Enjoy the break boys, well earned.

skategal Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 More important to me than being first in the division is how far our team has come in the past couple of years. To see the progression of Jake, improvements in our talent pool, improvements in our lineup with the adds of different players really bodes well for a continued uptick that can be sustained. For all those people who wanted Green replaced...not seeing the need. It seems from what the players say and the product on the ice that he has buyin from the group, they are playing well, improving both as a team and individually. When I compare the comments our players make to comments from other teams (Karlsson last night?) our boys are all in on the plan. Are our systems and style perfect...no, but perhaps they are appropriate for where our team is in their development. Will those systems change over time as our skill, depth and on ice knowledge improve...probably. I remember in the past various coaches changing their styles to suit the talent level of the teams they had to work with, I expect we will see the same with our group. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a bigger screen to add Virtanen, Miller, Markstrom and Gaudette. we can call them, the nucleus, surrounding the core. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't catch it because I'm in Sharks territory and was forced to listen to Randy Hahn! Couldn't find it on cbc's site or youtube. Really like the Brock/Jake switch. Now Petey and Boes are the #1 trigger options on each line instead of trying to share oppurtunities. It also gives them 2 lunch pale linemates to help win battles and cycle down low. Before their line had 1 guy doing the spade work and they were both looking to weave through coverage. While Gaud's line is all spade with no true finisher. Now he and Rous can get down and dirty on the walls and find that sniper in the soft spot! Such a nice little lineup tweek that looks like it could pay huge dividends if the chemistry on that RGB line takes! 9 hours ago, MattJVD said: After hours interviews for those who missed it: Quinn Hughes: https://www.sportsnet.ca/videos/hockey/nhl/hours-quinn-hughes-talks-nhl-nicknames-calder-race Tanner Pearson: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/hours-tanner-pearson-success-vancouver-canucks/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may turn out to be the best but, at this point, it is difficult for me to give him that crown when the Canucks have yet to win a single playoff round during his tenure. To me, Pat Quinn is still the best the franchise has had. Good points. For me, PQ was a great leader: coach and President during his tenure but when it comes to what a GMs' job is (in my opinion), which is talent evaluation and accumulation, then JB takes the cake. When it comes to trades I would give PQ the edge cause by nature he seems to like making deals and he was able to fleeced some of his trading partners in the process: Naslund trade and the two huge St. Louis haul that helped formed the foundation for the 94 run (just to name a few). As for JB, he seems to prefer a more patience approach, which is probably, due to his scouting background: drafting and development. He seems to prefer accumulating his talent (especially, high end talent) through the draft or college FA (which is perfect in the cap era). In my opinion, a leader should be judged based on there legacy: PQ has earned his place in the ROH (great coach and President) and JB -hopefully - will be there one day, as a GM and President (cuase at this moment, the position of President in the Canuck org remains vacant - perhaps they are giving JB an opportunity to earn it without the pressure of the title ?). Still lots of work to be done but the team is trending in a good direction. Edited January 19, 2020 by ShawnAntoski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory40 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The Canucks have beat the teams they needed to beat the last couple weeks. And this morning the standings show that they beat Calgary, Edmonton, Vegas, Phoenix. And I remember how far back they we're at the end of November. Had they gotten through November a little cleaner they would be 6 or 7 points up. And to have a positive goal diff despite some blow-out losses speaks volumes.

The prospect pipeline seems stacked despite not picking higher than fifth and trading picks. Yet we are no worse off then Edmonton and all of their 1st round and #1 overall picks.
