  1. Yep let's regenerate for next game when it's more important and we'll have some reinforcements. Couldn't ask much more of the team tonight. They laid it out on the line again.
  2. I was going to use that phrase earlier. You know you're doing good and you're a tight knit family when you're cussin you're fifth cousin about his goaltending skills.
  3. Hey it's close we need a goal. No crap hey we expect Denko's backup to give up no more than 2 goals to now too I guess. Ha, he's played well. We won't give up. These guys are beatable.
  4. Anyone that's questioning Dipietro should be checking their hat at the door. That's one hell of an assignment it's not his fault if he's not quite ready yet as a third rounder. Sheesh, some people. Lol, give the kid a chance.
  5. Mainly because we can't trust the States I'm assuming is how it came into place originally. They'll probably look at it at next border crossing review. Of course things like that always take time though so it's no big shock. Regardless I don't think it's that huge of a deal. We've got 5 of 6 points in that span and get all of our players back next week. It's sucks but whatever it's tough times. It's going to be two players missing for a couple games but other than that we should be clear with all games in Canada until Jan 31st, then the All-Star game kicks in.
  6. Yeah I agree. If you're looking at the obstacles facing the Canucks one of the biggest is that the Canucks will have to choose who goes between Bo, Boeser, and Miller. To make matters more complicated will be what each player is asking for and whether they're even willing to stay. In addition Boeser's QO is $7.5. What are they each worth then becomes another question. In my mind Miller has almost twice as much value as Boeser with his contract value and Bo lies somewhere in between. Then that also begs the question. Is Bo even on the block, does JR have any allegiance to him as the captain, or would he prefer Miller for Captain at perhaps 2 million more. Of course ideally one could also ride Miller to a successful playoff run and then trade him before the draft. However that timeline is pushed if someone like the Rangers who have good young players to offer give us a significantly larger offer than normal at this deadline as it's rumored they're very interested in him. This also accentuated in the case that we're say 10 points out at the deadline. Also the one factor I don't see many considering is whether he even wants to be here long-term. Now as a Canadian we don't care who any of our favorite Canadians play for really. Lemieux in Pittsburgh, Yzerman in Detroit. Bourque in Boston and Colorado. Most teams are in the States. We expect it and they're still portrayed as Canadian heroes, hockey heroes, etc.. However if you're an American will you still get that same respect in America playing in Canada for the bulk of your career? Does Miller want to look back on his career having spent the last 11 years of it in Canada, during which will be another Olympic games? Who knows, maybe, maybe not. Will Rutherford take a chance if it's unknown? Ultimately we have a franchise LD, a franchise G, we have very talented forwards, but we are seriously lacking a high quality RD, and time is running out with Myers, Hamonic, and Schenn. This area needs to be addressed, it's our number one need and this trade would do it.
  7. I think we've done just fine and we're almost through the worst. Demko and Miller back Tuesday, then Garland next game, then Bo after that I believe.
  8. No not at all. I have no idea what you're going on and on about though. Why are you so mad? lol we're just trying to have a civil conversation. No one is mocking you at all. We're just saying some people are looking at the big picture, like I'm sure you would agree JR should be being he is the President and all. Of course we're all hoping we keep winning too. It's been fantastic. I'm cheering my ass off every game if you'll notice in the GDT's. We are all fans of the team. I don't know where you're getting this people want to lose thing from. Absolutely nobody in this conversation said that. I think you're caught up in old conversations with other people in other threads. Doesn't it occur to you that this is a possible direction to move, or are you just dead set against it? If so that's fine but I think we're talking apples and oranges here.
  9. Look way up and I'll call Rusty! OMG lol this is gold ... Rusty is playing the accordion
  10. Yeah this is getting downright stupid. But hasn't the whole team pretty much had it now? Should be clear sailing almost. I guess mostly our 'star' forwards and supporting cast but geez now you got me worried lol. Our defence needs to be careful in the next couple weeks. On the flip side the other teams are going through this too aren't they? Boeser Petterson Miller Horvat Garland Dickinson Chiasson DiGuiseppe Dowling Demko
  11. He's the only player to get what? What, I'm confused? Hmmm time for a beer maybe.
