  1. It seems like the worse the team is doing the better Booth plays. No wonder he flourished in Florida. No pressure when you know you're gonna lose.
  2. Looked like White got his shoulder up in the head of Stanton
  3. What is Gillis supposed to do about injuries?
  4. Well our lack of offence should qualify.... but I meant just because we may want to call up a junior player, you can't.
  5. No. You can't call up players from Major Junior during the season. Once their season is over they can play in the AHL, and I think the NHL regular season. But then you're burning a year off their ELC.
  6. Hope the effort from the Boston game carries over. We are long overdue for a game where we win, and no one can really explain how. Just one of those games where everything works. If that's not tonight's game, then I defer to... The not-keys to the game: 1 - Don't come out hard for 10 minutes and get nothing to show for it except a 1 goal deficit off a bad turnover & missed check. 2 - Don't shorten the already short bench in the 2nd because even a 1 goal deficit is a mountain for us to overcome. 3 - Don't get badly outplayed the entire 3rd period because you gassed all the regulars trying to tie the game in the 2nd. 4 - Don't take offensive zone penalties in last 10 minutes of a game you're trailing. 5 - Don't draw a penalty in final 5 minutes of a game you're trailing. 6 - Probably best just not to draw penalties at all.
  7. Considering the injuries, the team has played well but every mistake they make ends up in the back of the net right now.
  8. A player who can play great 18-19 minutes a game can become a slug after a few games of 22-23 minutes.
  9. Good effort. Not much offence, but they're battling hard to compete. All you can ask this lineup right now.
  10. Not counting the empty netters the Canucks have lost 9 one goal games since January. I don't even want to try to remember in how many of those games did we have a PP late with a change to tie it. It's been the same script here for 5 weeks now. They have to the worst 3rd period team in the league right now, and if you can't finish games strong, you're not going to finish the season strong. We're just too easy to play against right now.
  11. A lot parallels to the fans attitudes now and then too. After losing in the first round to the AV's in '96 it was clear that the team peaked in '94. That was their last hurrah. Bure wasn't happy, people in the city started to question Linden's leadership, and what he had left in the tank. The fans and media at that time turned on that team. On that core that is now legend. People mock the Messier deal now, but at the time it's what everyone wanted. A real captain. Everyone wanted that whole team gone, and they got their wish. And it was brutal hockey to watch for years.
  12. Any other team scores after the other team misses the empty net. We take a penalty.
  13. Look away kids, the Canucks are on the PP late, with a chance to tie the game. I don't want you to see this.
  14. Babcock is giving Torts a coaching lesson as far as systems go.
  15. I haven't seen the Wings trap like this in a while. They're in desperation mode right now, and the Canucks need to match that intensity.
