  1. Demko is going to be the best goaltender in the league very soon, I'm thinking.
  2. I just cannot say enough how relieved I am that Van finally made the changes they had to make. This is a completely different team and they very well could not only make the playoffs, but do some damage there.
  3. The owner is getting rid of all the social activists. Looks like he has had enough with planning parades and wants to get back to hockey.
  4. Loaded with experience in the front office now. Now the president can focus on doing the job instead of learning the job.
  5. Yeah. I thought he has been running the d too, cause thats what he was hired for. Green changed things up.
  6. The d played d last night and were not expected to drive the play in the offensive zone. We finally got to see our skilled forwards drive the play from the hash marks in the offensive zone. Just an easy fix and so hard for Green to grasp.
  7. Demko is going to be the best goalie in the NHL one day. The guy is like a giant Hasek.
  8. Really impressed with Podz. That line is all over the Kings. Lots of differences in style with the new coach too. Tonight they are driving the play in the offensive zone from the hash points instead of the point all the time. Now we are seeing the skill and instinct of the players we have. We used to have a lot of shots but not many scoring chances because of driving the play from the point. Now, we see less shots but more scoring chances because the play is driven behind the hash points. Gabby is using the skilled forwards better. Green needs a powerhouse defense for success, in my opinion. That suits his style better. Without the powerhouse defense, his goalies need to stand on their heads in order to win.
  9. Can the fans in the stands have a standing ovation for Edler tonite, please. Also, we are in for a treat with Gabby on the bench. He is an awesome coach.
  10. I'll bet the Bruins take a flyer on Kane with 50% salary retained. Hate to see DeBrusk on the Sharks, tho.
  11. We need to win 40 of the 59 games left to get 96 points at the end of the season. Not many NHL teams have managed to play .750 hockey in history, so if the canucks do it they will be in very exclusive company. Hate to say it, but Im cheering for my second favorite team this year.
  12. Personally, I like the players we have. I think they would do well with different couching. Never thought Green was all that good either. Way to predictable and not willing to change at all.
  13. If we are going back into rebuild, Horvat could fetch a kings ransom at the deadline. A top pick and a top 4 defenseman and a top tier prospect. Then again, it would be very unlikely Horvat gets traded. The guy is a two way stud.
  14. Seeing as the canucks are more into social activism than hockey these days, I think Kane would wreck those systems and the process in general.
  15. Can you imagine Miller and Kane in the same dressing room? lol
  16. Having puck possession on the perimeter isn't outplaying to opposition. Thats called keepaway. Opposition just needs to sit back and watch our players on the perimeter until we hand the puck over. I'd do the same if I was the opposition.
  17. The Tanev thing will never stop burning me, 4.5 million dollars for probably the best shutdown d in the league. Calgary says he is their most important player right now.
  18. I really wonder what happened to Petey. I hope we are not wrecking our young players somehow.
  19. I hope Benning doesn't pull a Chiarelli and trade a top 6 forward for nothing just before getting canned.
