[GDT] Canucks Vs. Red Wings | October 22, 2019 @ 4:30 PST
Amebushi replied to Greenman Wannabe's topic in Canucks Talk
A five goal third period. When is the last time we saw that? And the Nucks score them, not gave them up -

So I googled the score at the end of the second...drive home and voila! Really starting to like this team. They can win good games and crappy ones. -
[Discussion] If you had the chance..
Amebushi replied to BrockBoester's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Nope, I wouldn’t trade Quinn for Jack. From an organizational need defence is higher on the list than centers. Also Quinn is showing a ton of potential. All that said I doubt very much that Jersey makes that trade either. As to getting all three...if Luke is there at our pic and it’s the move Benning says is a home run then you grab him. The assets required to acquire talent this high this young is not worth it. Build from within, draft well and be patient. There is no magic pill to take is to the cup. -
PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST #2: Canucks @ Rangers October 20th 2019
Amebushi replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
4-2 Canucks over thanks for doing this! -
Where does Tryamkin fit if he returns this season?
Amebushi replied to cuporbust's topic in Canucks Talk
Last year I would have been all over bringing him back. Don’t get me wrong, a big strong d man is always welcome but he doesn’t have a resume to displace a top 4 d man on our roster this year. Stecher and Benn are playing well on the third pair and Tryamkin already bolted once for not getting enough playing time. I’d definitely talk to him and sign him, but he has to agree to earn his ice time. Let’s face reality, Edler or Tanev will be on IR sooner or later and a spot opens up...take it, prove your value at this level and the conversation changes quickly. Have a slow start or make some mistakes that others have not been and enjoy the bench/press box. -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at New Jersey Devils | Oct. 19, 2019
Amebushi replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Ok new plan for the power play. Put Louie Little Things back on the ice, wait for the puck to drop and then have him run the goalie. He will either get injured (freeing up some cap) or suspended (still funny) and we can go back to dominating the play at even strength. -
I could used to watching “a team like that”
-
Stecher is a goon! Good the the refs got him out of the game before it gets dangerous.
-
Uh oh...better get rough now!
-
Didn’t even catch the “accidental” bump on the goalie by beagle.
-
Hit em, piss them off, knock a star down on open ice...now score on the power play too.
-
Team toughness looks like this. Don’t take crap from the other team, the refs, the media...anyone. Even Hughes and Stecher are going to be pumped up when the team plays like this. I can only imagine what they would look like if Jake and Ferland could get going.
-
Did the refs just get that right?
-
I don’t care...throw the book. This team has real grit! Win or lose fight as a team
-
Gotta say, I don’t miss the Wille D days where we would have Megna and a Chaput out there defending a 1-1 game right now.
-
Now is when good teams score another one to totally demoralize them. My money is in Quinn

Is there a possibility for a West Coast Express 2.0?
Amebushi replied to JayCanuckMan's topic in Canucks Talk
Came here to write this...Naslund was a constant scoring threat, but Big Bert made all the room and scared the bejeezus out of anyone that dared cross the line. If you want to make a WCE 2.0 you need different personnel than we currently have. Besides, who wants WCE 2 when we could have something new and different lead us to the promised land? -
[Signing] Sharks sign Patrick Marleau, 1 year x 700,000
Amebushi replied to HerrDrFunk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Fair enough. I think they will improve and be a bubble playoff team...but I’ve thought that for a few years now. GCG! -
[Signing] Sharks sign Patrick Marleau, 1 year x 700,000
Amebushi replied to HerrDrFunk's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Really? The Kings are going to finish ahead of the Nucks. I’d 8-2 see that at the end of the year. -
What are your first impressions of our new players?
Amebushi replied to CanadianRugby's topic in Canucks Talk
Times have changed a lot, but I still agree with this statement. Also why I am so glad Bo is the captain and not Petey. True leaders need to rise to any occasion. On the ice that can mean scoring a last minute goal, running someone clear through the glass or if need be, exterminate a rat. I would find it hard to follow anyone who is unwilling to even try to defend themself from a physical attack. Bo won’t put up with it, and neither will quite a bit of our team now. As to the OP, largely agree with the statements here Ferland - still getting up to speed, tough SOB, gets a pass from me for his so far average play Benn...exactly what I want in a third pairing guy, big upgrade from last year. Miller - so far better than I thought, and I was in favour of the trade already. Hughes - not as instantly game changing as I’d hoped (due to unrealistic expectations) but boy oh boy are all the signs there. My biggest happy point this year is seeing the improvement in his slap shot. This kid has wheels, IQ, dangles and now a shot that’s a threat as well. Gonna be some good things coming to Vancouver in the next couple years. -

Is it too much to ask for Ferland to piss off Poughty? Watching him mad makes me happy. -

Miller bounces it off Kovalchuck...Quinn says “hold my beer” and puts it in off Tanev’s stick -

Kinda reminds me of Bo’s (poor) skating. Young guys that see there weakness and work on them are so great to watch. -
