  1. Yeah, the energy was so different when they were on there last point streak but this is to be expected.
  2. Great points. If EP40, bit back hard that would perhaps send the right message about biting back at that very moment - especially against potential playoff competition..... If I was EP40 or any other player, I would not wait for someone, screw what the coach says (or not saying) and deal with it right at that very moment (of course, there will be exceptions and some situational awareness will matter).
  3. Despite, the extra attention, I really like the tenacity of EP40. I would also like to see some bite back (screw the consequences) ever so often to send a message, especially, towards potential playoff opponents. Also I hope, they learn to deal with it, at the very moment of the incident - not later - cause of the potential effects it has on, 'in game momentum' and overall team morale.
  4. Sure, you obviously, missed what my point is. Just as you stated (paraphrasing), to get better they have to play the games; this is the first year this team (both players and staff) are playing meaningful games this late in the season. Unless, you are a pshycic, all your doing is projecting and (with hindsight) pointing out the flaws (I see them do - the lack of bite). Everyteam has there flaws and every team experiences there ups/downs. My point: pro sports is about adjustments, the last winning streak gave them some room and for this core to continue to get better they have to go through stretches of winning/losing - adversity. Imo, it matters more how they come out as a group (both players and coaches) from stretches like these (the last losing streak, rocketed them to the top of a very competitive Pacific ,but who knows where they come out after this). Also, I hope they still get into the playoffs and play a very tough team cause that experience should only strengthen the core/team moving forward and if not, then JB - should - have a very busy offseason. I want to see the character of this team (especially, the core players and leaders). I do agree, that there is no room for, 'participation trophy' in competitive pro sports.
  5. Just caught the game and I see Benn, got the call to play - great job on Lucic...
  6. Not saying that all (reading too much into my comment). I can see they are trying but it has been a long road trip so far...
  7. The players, looks ready to go home. Still enough, games left to make adjustments ... GCG !
  8. Hughes, seems to have that fire and assertiveness to be the best.
  9. Well said, this is what happens when a GM or executive forgets the human factor when running and building an organization. I would argue, that this culture of complacency starts from the very top. To a certain extent, the Canucks went through something like this during the McCaw years as owners - Mark Messier signing was done during his tenure as owner.
  10. Spoiled and entitled, include the Gilbert Perrault, "lottery" as well !
  11. Ditto. I would assume it would be a high value contract with extra term to help with the cap - I guess, he wants to retire as an Avs. BTW, got the value from capfriendly.
  12. Good points ! I would also had liked to had seen those two as well cause this game, in particular, was looking like a good time for a let down (3 games in for days).
  13. Canucks been getting points for awhile now. Off to the next game and what they do next is what matters - a blowout sometimes is better than a squeker...
  14. Working for the Canes but that strategy might be hard to pull off in the playoffs and some refs seems to have very good memories cause douchery will only work for so long, until an even bigger douche comes along - last years finals. I suggest, that they continue with this strategy cause it will only bite them at the worst time.
  15. This is one game I was hoping to win - just to avoid the, "show".
  16. Yeah, being a back to back matinee game, I was also expecting a let down today (bound to happen). Still got a point !
  17. 1 pt closer to a playoff berth !! Demko seems to need more playing time cause he seems to be playing with no energy for most of the game but still made some timely saves....
  18. No Jerk show. No Jerk show. No Jerk show. No Jerk show....
