[PGT] Columbus Blue Jackets at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 14, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Mia culpa, I lost hope after the 1st and started multi-tasking. Boy did the Nucks put me in my place. Nothing surprises any more. This team is now playing with the heart of a lion. GCG -
[PGT] Carolina Hurricanes at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 12, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
that was a blast. More open than most coaches would like but the boys went toe to toe and looked good in so doing. My Scotch was as smooth as Hughes on skates. Merci Nucks. -
[PGT] Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 08, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
But a team can still check him relentlessly, instead of the fly-bys the Nucks seem to do against him. That ligit and warranted, he should have a big target on his back that says check me hard. -
[PGT] Boston Bruins at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 08, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
While I liked the effort, the game could have easily been a loss, the team seemed rattled by Boston's relentless hits, especially those that were on or over the line. This is typical Boston. They cross the line enough that the reffs start only calling the most egregious, as they want to manage the game. Nucks need a better physical answer, and it's not about inserting goons, it's more about matching physical intensity and protecting each other. I saw no hits on the Rat--even a few fly-bys, that's unacceptably soft IMO and needs to change. I like what I hear from Steamer and wonder what changes are in store. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators | Dec. 01, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
If Pearson, Petty and Boes get going, this team would be more fun to watch. Hoping for a great effort that does not wane after taking a lead. Still too conservative. I vote to take Pearson off the PP and GCG. Show the world that Benning has tow more years to work. Show green the door if he goes under 650 starting with MTL. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators | Dec. 01, 2021

Thinking back, my daughter pointed out the best sign. "Poolman makes me wet". He must have some friends in the area. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators | Dec. 01, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Indeed, I was one of them, the rink is very hospitable to the competition. So many nucks jerseys and no chirping from sens fans. It was awesome. only half full but no suits with phones...Mind you, the beer and whisky cost me $200. I hope YVR fans can seem some games like this. The home record and compete is embarrassing...GCG -
Are you suggesting we have already missed the window and won't have the cap space to keep a reasonably costed core that can be supplemented with softmores and rentals? I hope this is not the case as I really like some of the inexpensive young additions (hogs and podz). I'd suggest two of Petterson, Pearson or Boes may not be in our short term future and I'm really hoping Bo and Miller can keep the core alive.

The Nucks window is only starting to crack open. I'd say a bit early to throw in the towel. Look at Edmonton's build with the chosen one. How many years has it been with him and many other top picks in the line-up? What about Washington and how long OV worked towards a cup. Looking back: this year I hoped for play-offs, then next year, noise in the play-offs. So far it looks doubtful but not impossible. I agree there is a time to tank. For the Nucks it was 2014 through 2017 and I resent the retool. That said, I still feel good about the team's competitive ability over the next five years--but without Green. We really need a coach that can rally the team for puck drop and improve special teams. So tired of seeing cautious, conservative and static play. He may be a good coach but he still needs to go as a start to shaking the management foundations. Enough country club, get tough, truly build a "hard to play against" identity, get rid of those unwilling to pay the price or get results. If that fails, then I'll command the tank in two years.

That's a huge road trip for a struggling team. I hope they put on a great show for you. I'm expecting the rink will be dead, considering the Ottawa fan base and Melnyk's stupid idea to build the rink as an anchor in suburbia. It epitomizes what's wrong with this world when land developers care nothing about responsible and sustainable development and only making money. I digress. Have a blast, I'll be in the 200s trying to liven things up--feeding drinks to my son and leaning on my DD daughter.

I hope this does not mean that we keep Green and co. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Boston Bruins | Nov. 28, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Tired of watching a soft team. I really miss have the likes of Bieksa. This team does not hit and plays way too soft. Fun to play against I'm sure, I hope the Ottawa game will be fun as it's the only occasion I get to watch the team live this year. Do we have any big guys to call up? -

That was my Bday game. No complaints other than being sick of Pearson on the PP and still hoping for a coaching change. The Boys would have have a great record if they played that way every night. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Pittsburgh Penguins | Nov. 24, 2021
NHTyrany replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
so tired of the team's slow start. Cmon Green that's too much of a consistent issue to not address. so tired of the officials. Soft calls galore until Pitsburg has a good lead and then pocket the whistles in the third, even when there are blatant hooks that would should have been called for general consistency/fairness but no. Wrong team. It's been happening all season. Even Buttman wants Green gone... -

i'm so tired of Green and his inability to make game reads. He is an automaton.
