Popular Post LowerMainLander18 Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Arrow 1983 said: Losing for a top 10 draft pick isn't a popular idea right now but in about a week or so I'm guessing a lot of people will see it my way Way too early to pack it in. Good teams will start resting their star players towards the end of the season. Bad teams will test us and make us better. Players battled thru all those tough games and travels for the last 4 months to earn a playoffs spot. They don't quit now. Fans don't quit now after battling thru some of the worst spams and horrendous armchair managing in GDT/ PGT for the past 4 months. We have all come too far to quit now. And we r close. I think this is a playoffs team. Pro analysts think we r a playoffs team. On a brighter note, this is a good opportunity for some players to elevate their games and reach that next level. We wanted to reach the playoffs for this kind of experience. This season, it just happened to have started earlier than other years. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are not all like that. I kicked my shed in when we lost in the finals so we are all pretty passionate but I will always cheer for the team and personnel on hand. I will never cheer for a loss. Never did in the rebuild, never will ever. What ever happens outside of that happens Edited March 3, 2020 by Devron44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Sadly this is a season-defining game IMO. Oilers just made a statement putting up 8 on Nashville, Vegas have won 8 straight and even Calgary have started winning. The good teams are separating themselves from the bad in the high pressure games. These are the ones we need to be good in. Arizona still have a chance and will be fighting for their lives, as should we. Not much point getting into the playoffs as a bottom seed, but if we can just eek out an extra couple of points we get home ice advantage and can really slay these Pacific teams who suck on the road. Win and we're back in top-3 discussion, lose and we're in the Wildcard fight and will likely get picked off in 5 games in the first round. Hope Green and our leaders rally the guys for this game, still plenty of time for a winning streak and to enter the playoffs hot. 4-3 Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the poster was stating our play has been trending downhill since the all-star break, and he's not far from the truth. We were outplayed and outshot by a LARGE margin in the majority of those wins. Many of those wins were part of Marky's famous 8 stolen wins. but our play has been worse since the all-star break than before it, that much i clear.

Have you read the back and forth between Arrow and others in this thread? He has been agitating and then contradicting, and eventually backtracking. I find at times condescending. Is he really a ‘fan’? Or just on here for the things I just mentioned? There were several of his posts I could have responded to, but all were subjective and worded to gain negative response. I quoted this one, because statistically they had a winning record. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lafayettecrossbar Posted March 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think we're gonna win this one for the simple fact of I just bumped into Travis Green at Esso downtown. I said good luck the rest of the way, Travis. He smiled and said thanks. And that's my story, had to tell someone. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewGM Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 7 hours ago, Bo fan said: I've had a day to stew and mull this past week over - like some are saying this is a young team - it will take time for them to come together and play like a team. As fans I think we need to support their efforts. They are after all "our team". Maybe more positivity from the media and fan base could go a long way. Back in Oct - Nov a lot of us wanted entertaining hockey and seeing developement from the young core. I think they are delivering Just my opinion Now let's right this ship and beat the Yotes GCG we didnt lose cause we are young. we lost cause our older players fukd up.. so its like the opposite..

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 hopefully Horvat set up a players only meeting and they figured their stuff out. Petey has not tried very hard lately and Hughes has been trying to do a bit too much. everyone should be looking to miller and playing up to his level.
