  1. Every time I become negative about this team's toughness and lack of scoring, they pull a game out of their hat--like the one last night. If Brock and Pettey continue to bloom and hit or exceed the value of their cap hit this year, the team will surprise in the play-offs under BB. The last run was all goaltending and collapsing. This run would be about matching intensity and responsible offence. I would put money on the Nucks getting past Vegas and Miller would be like the Kesler who smashed Nashville. I guess I should be negative more often. GCG
  2. The roster is looking way better. I hope they play with the same good intensity but also up the physicality. It's too easy for the opposing team to play keep away when you know the payer will let up and stick check. Edmonton had way too much time and space in the 3r period. GCG
  3. Not bad for a team missing 3 top 9 but wow, try hitting instead of playing shinny and the Coilers won't have so much possession. Honestly, the team did not deserve the W, despite the poor officiating. The team played poorly from the 40 min. mark.
  4. If we keep out-chancing teams, the Wins will come back. It appears as though the gods are simply compensating for that W streak. I like the fight in the dog. The Nucks are showing heart and with some reinforcements, this should be a great match. The Oils on the other hand are still fragile, despite the recent win and I hope we send them back to naval gazing or whatever they have been preoccupied with. GCG
  5. Neither Petty nor Brock stood out to me. Petty looked a bit out of his comfort zone. Hopefully they can step up more.
  6. I'm so pumped for this underdog event. It should be an awesome test. GCG
  7. This is not good for the team, for the home fans, and for my own mental health. I still have hope. Wr can beat them with heart...
  8. Please point to Trudeau and not Quebec for that mandatory french language instruction requirement. I was able to study music instead--a transition loop hole I guess. Then I regretted it when I started meeting Quebecers. Perhaps your professor or language aptitude also share some of the accountability for the 6-year wasted investment. I'd rather the money go to health care.
  9. i like your ability to see the bigger picture. I'm still angry over the lazy performance. I thought the first two losses would have upped their intensity, but the reverse happened. Not a good show of character.
  10. That was barfffff. Can't remember when the Nucks plays a decent early start. Perhaps 2010. I hate losing this way. The earlier two losses I can handle, but this was a slow and lazy effort. It's like they decided they need to play PK style all game instead of pressuring. And the D were about half as nasty as Carolina. Carolina deserved this win and it appears their crowd had a great game and time all-round as we lick our wounds. Time to give Hunt some work in the minors. Time to trade for some physicality. Bo was a beauty, Myers decent, and ... Bo was a beauty.
  11. I think we would have won both games without the lay-off rust. We simply missed the finishing touch offensively and one additional save. I still think we are a play-off team this year and are still over 70% (something like 7-2-1) in the last 10 games.
  12. I agree but discount the PK passivity to the lay-off and the respect for these two teams. I don't think this is chronic as the PK has been lights out under BB. Look forward to this team getting its Mojo back and am impressed with the performance despite the two losses.
  13. Not back into the groove yet. Boys worked hard but have lost the touch. When it comes back in the next few games we will be back in the black. For now, everything seems off a tad. GCG
  14. Am I being a homer or are the Panthers getting away with much shenanigans. NHL darlings this year Bettman???
  15. Chaisson, not again, lol. keep your head high Bo and Co., you and your team will get through this and still be millionaires. Get ready for the eastern swing and my dad will be cheering you on from the Cariboo while I do the same from Quebec. Keep winning the week and we shall see Demko do his thing again in the playoffs...GCG
  16. Ouch, I was hoping he would feast on Ottawa. He was great against them (second to Garland) last they played in Kanata...
  17. some player threw it back over the glass but not sure if went to the owner. Obviously the owner is not worried about the cost... I couldn't do it, it's a nice bottle of Scotch there.
  18. What a month it's been. Imagine if we kept Green around. We would still be talking about the 1OA pick. Now play-offs are worthy of contemplation. Let's enjoy the ride...GCG
