  1. Going to be another struggle to have jump. Dead legs. 3-2 Us Kuz Missile
  2. That’s what JR was saying last year too. We needed structure in our game and a change in our core leadership. Both are done and we are seeing how improved the club is.
  3. Who cares? We won! It’s fun to watch us win. Our young core is great!
  4. Yup. We are all cheering for our guys to win. And we won again tonight. That’s fun!
  5. Yup. Juulsson is a nice depth guy. Hughes deserves an actual NHL player for his partner. Schenn is better than Juulsson, of course, but he’s only a bottom pairing D at best. But, yes he’s and actual NHL talent. Juulsson is not.
  6. “Meaningless game”! Now that’s a stupid comment. Clearly a non athlete saying something this dumb. The guys want to win, and that includes the coaches. This guy is a friggin’ moron.
  7. He skates a lot better than advertised. He’s big and skilled. Looks like a good player for sure.
  8. Miller with a brilliant pass. Our guys still have no legs. They are playing smart though. Get this one to a 1-1 OT. Just be smart. Win it in OT.
  9. Management continues to fill up our prospect cupboards. Lots of guys competing for opportunity with the big club.
  10. Holy crap! A win gets us to .500 Come on guys! Delia is holding you in there. Give ‘er hard the rest of the way. You can rest up on the plane. Just WIN!
  11. Our guys have no legs. Going to be a struggle to get through this one. Going to have to tile the lines.
  12. We have an elite core (especially after dumping Bo) and added to the group with Hronek. This club is primed and ready to soar to the top of the standings next season and stay there for a long time. We are great!
  13. Canucks are getting good coaching and have an excellent core group. We will climb over a few more teams in the next 10 games too. Fans need to accept we are a very good club. No more PTBD
  14. We don’t want Livingston. He’s 24 this year and is slow. He needs to improve his quickness or he’s not even a bottom pairing guy. There are reasons why these college free agents weren’t drafted. His was his feet. Others, it was their lack of size. Others lacked skill. But we don’t need a guy like Livingston, who will only accept an NHL deal right now, that skates too slow to play. I think he ends up in Detroit. He can be a slowmo there with their other slowmo.
  15. Livingston is a big lumbering skater. He is coming 24. He’s at best a bottom pairing guy.
  16. Yup. Stealing Hronek for (what looks like right now) the 20th pick shows the brilliance of the timing. The Wings have lost a lot without Hronek. He was their best D. Seider is now trying to carry those minutes and can’t. Adding Hronek is going to greatly help Hughes. Hughes can carry the club, but now he has help. Detroit was dumb. They could have had Hughes and Hronek. We win!
  17. I think “spinning” refers to guys trying to avoid contact instead of playing in straight lines, with and without the puck. Kuz used to go that. On the Bone goal last game Kuz moved the puck to Petey in the neutral zone and took contact along the wall. He played straight through that contact and got a head of the guy trying to check him. That hard play created a gap that Kuz took advantage of to have the time to make the play for Bone. Garland used to spin a lot. But he’s improved his straight up play.
  18. Okay let’s say we rebuild. Which players from our core do we trade so we can deep dive to the bottom for top five picks for 3-5 years so we can draft guys who might be as good? Our core is great! It’s the perfect age (as a group) to have a run of winning years. We are retooling the supporting cast. That’s what’s needed.
  19. I agree. But Geisksnen is s heck of a good player too. Petey Makar Heiskanen Had there been a better top three?
