  1. The opposite of 'killer instinct'. Just doing everything they could to 'not win'. Awful awful awful energy the last 40 minutes.
  2. What the hell are they doing?! First period they were awesome. Second they 100% stopped skating. Powerplay is atrocious - zero intensity and endless awful passes. Ridiculous. Did TG take over again before the second period. Awful
  3. Wow - Martin solid - smart smart reads. Now this looks like a helluva signing by JB all of a sudden. Fantastic positioning and instincts.
  4. Okay, so new heated debate time: What would/could Virtanen have been/played like/become if we had Bruce instead of Travis? Start fire, walk away......... and.... go!
  5. Nails it. It was absolutely crazy making watching them doddle inside their own blue line, circle back, pass back, and then get the onslaught of a forecheck after they farted around with it. THIS was their downfall, and TG's downfall, in one astute analysis. TG's system for this was absolutely awful and led to them crushed and killing momentum over and over again. They were so discombobulated under this system. Huge relief to see that gone. The quick ups is way more exciting for the players as well as us.
  6. Add Rathbone to this soon too, with Bruce, will be niiiiicee. If Hughes can kill penalties, so can Rathbone, and then there is no excuse for not having him here.
  7. I love Stan Smyl. No idea if he can GM - but let's just keep him as GM and find out.
  8. Haiku: Disjointed is the word I'd use the describe it. And it's been this way, in large part, since the beginning of last year's disjointed season. They have been mostly disjointed since, and they're still disjointed, even with half the roster turned over and upgraded. I don't think I've ever seen any team so disjointed. Disjointed.
  9. I think the onus is on us to entertain ourselves tonight... Anybody got a good joke?
  10. "Mort Mort Mort" - The Sedins to OEL "Mort Mort Mort" - OEL back to the Sedins All together in unison: "Mort Mort Mort!" Ta Da!
  11. I dunno man, I think their super stagnant PP where nobody moves is pretty damn effective as it is. Why mess with it by adding all that skating?!
  12. yup - this is too frustrating to watch. I actually turned it off. This is hurting my brain to watch so much discombobulation. Bizarre to watch. This is how they played a good chunk of last year. Makes no sense. Will try again in half an hour.
  13. So, just to clarify, you're thinking Brock said 'fukit' to Green and just started playing his way? Yeah, I can see that, and yes, did play great that period.
  14. Yup, saw that. He said 'why?", or "what?" twice, and shook his head to himself. Wasn't sure if it was Green or another coach he was talking with, but, yes, prob was Green. Not a good look. Probably not going for beers after the game together.
  15. That was easy. Summed it up perfectly succintly, thankyouverymuch. Saved me 28 pages of reading too.
  16. That's actually not even a joke really. I wonder if they have a backup plan. A getaway helicopter or something? Maybe a submarine up the Fraser River?
  17. Now that you mention I did hear him say that a few times. Also, he has a son the same age as some of the red wing players. And on and on.... blah blah blah, can we just eat dinner now? I'm getting agitated again. Starting to feel like Al Bundy in Married With Children.
  18. Hirsch is like a girlfriend who won't shut up. I find myself just thinking and saying 'shut up' over and over again and tuning him out. (although he wasn't as bad as last game, I'll give him that).
  19. - Fun team! Fun game both teams, but mostly nux! Well the first two periods were boring as hell, but, again, they got better and started to gel. - Nucks are starting to dominate games 5v5 and that's a huge thing that will eventually turn into a something good. Haven't seen them win on the shot clock in a loooong time. - They're clearly still figuring each other out out there, pretty cool watching the chemistry build in real time. Some of the playmaking between all that talent really started to get fun out there. - This really is a brand new team now going forward, start of a new era. - TG puttting Rathbone out a lot this game, appeared to have shortened his D corps for the 3rd AND put OEL and QH together. What a unique luxury to be able to start to play with. Rathbone was awesome, changes everything back there. - yes powerplay needs a lot of work, not moving. - They're just getting started, this will be fun to watch in the coming weeks.
  20. True, good eye! I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of! Yaaaaa guuud guuud - but can he speak like Jannik?!
  21. I'm just kidding with ya', I really have no intention to keep doing this. I've been trying to disengage in this silly 'argument' for seventeen posts now. I should have scrolled by. Carry on!
