  1. I gave up trying to ignore the late Nucks games years ago. Just take the laptop to bed and watch with your head on the pillow. Be tired but happy.
  2. It was that series that broke my will to pay for center ice. The league lost a paying customer with that despicable and corrupt debacle. As much as I support the Nucks, I won't give a penny to the NHL but for the odd live game while Bettman continues his Game Management/fixing approach.
  3. Don't mind losing when the team takes penalties as part of retaliating cheap shots on our young stars. Unfortunately, we are both losing and turning a blind eye. Nucks still need to establish some identity at home, win or lose. Hopefully they learn that it's everyone's responsibility, not just the guys on IR.
  4. or not mature/confident enough to ad lib on the ice. Need more creativity and synergy. They are following a text book like it's the one any only option.
  5. Interesting, to me it seemed the Blues' puck retrieval and passing was clicking better, whether it be from serendipitous bounces and/or being more calibrated. They sure know how to force other teams to their style of play. A great road team that I suggest can only be countered with a better PP and more retribution for incessant and unacceptable smothering of Nucks talent.
  6. At lease his GAA is still pretty good and, for this game, he sealed his own fate by being gun shy about charging the puck. He is doing great this year and will learn from this. Perhaps he will start coming way out of the crease in OT when team has possession...
  7. Not a great game despite the shot clock. Passing was sloppy compared to the Blues. They were far crisper but had more puck luck. Time to regroup on the road!
  8. This team has proven me wrong so many times, I'm starting to expect greatness. What a great ride so far.... GCG
  9. Wow, this team is for real. Completely exceeding my expectations. Merci JB.
  10. Hopping for a better game all-round. Ice, officials, Nucks. So much more promise than last year. Just need to find a way to deter the dirty plays or the injuries will deplete us.
  11. Three things about the game sucked: Ducks sucked the most Reffs sucked almost as much as the Ducks Vancouver sucked the least Everything was off this game--fitting that it was a three pointer. We probably deserved 2 points but that's hockey...
  12. All part of the Bettman's "market the game to compete with the other Professional Sports in a a high population area" strategy. I assume only LA get unbiased reffing this year because they want a higher draft pick to rebuild. I'm reminded of San Jose in 2013, what a gong show.
  13. I think it depends upon the nature of the injury and the inherent risks in having him play. We aren't close enough to the facts to make any reliable proposition. The flip side is, if no in incremental injury risk, a young guy could really help the team on a back to back.
  14. Is it because you know better than the doctors and trainers?
  15. Ben, Horvat, Myers, etc. Just not enough pack mentality yet. Petey was targeted without consequence.
  16. Still need more size, the team was a bit rattled by the borderline hits. Not enough physical push back. I hope that does not become the MO for other heavy teams.
