Hey Deb. I see this as you being protective, and I love ya for it! I think though, that Scott can understand how heavy a loss that was all too early can be. I don't think there's anything wrong with bringing that up, as it is what has happened. A sensitive topic yes, but not one to be avoided especially if you want to speak to the resiliency of a Markstom this season. Marky is a big boy and tough, and has a whole group of respectful fans behind him. Lots of strength there, nothing he can't handle.

If we had more cap space maybe - I think it's Demko that stays and Marky that's traded. I don't think you could get a 1st for Demko at the moment - too many question marks. Marky could fetch us a 1st and a prospect / nhller or 2. Point being his value is really high and he is peaking at the wrong time for this team. He's just been awesome lately though and my opinion I think doesn't take away from that and how much I am enjoying his play this season!

Booing motivates players until they find themselves being booed on the streets - at a restaurant - while taking a piss. boo from the moment he steps off the plane! This is the same as my anti "sucks chant" thread I made years ago. We don't effect the game that much ladies and gentlemen. Plus OUR team loves the support - I guarantee this!

I will pretend all day until Jake doesn't surpass Bert when he was 25. 25 years old, 25 goals, 25 assists. Jake could be better than this.

No. He meant they may have to golf and fish with a curfew for a few years.

[GDT] Habs @ Canucks Dec. 17 7:00 PM Rogers Arena
VanIsleNuckFan replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I think this 7-2 loss looked good from my standpoint. I think we played a great game just had a few bad bounces. Now if you'll excuse me, Im going to buy the whole team some pizza and pop so they don't have their feelings hurt too bad. The number one job I have as coach is to nurture my players feelings, unless your name is Jake Virtanen. -Travis Green. -

I don't agree with you there but maybe that's wishful thinking. I think Bo is tired and is overplayed. I think a proper deployment would be to rotate the lines more evenly, and stop pulling the Torts mindset of playing your top guys for 20 mins every night. 3 and 4 were very effective last night and against the leafs also. Why not rotate more evenly. Love me some Beags, love me some Sutter, even Schaller is awesome ffs. I'll take more JV, AR and AG any day of the week also! even rotation, wins playoff series, why not get everyone up for that now plus not wear Guys out. Holy moly, so obvious! -

I think it's too early to react, but I have to start criticizing the guy. These losses are very consistently not skating, no urgency, poor passing. I mean fundamental stuff. He should have them running the "puke" every practice if you get my drift. (J/k lol) but seriously, TG has to take a step forward here, get some fire in these boys, get em riled up, beat some lockers with a stick, get maaaaad, get annngry! God damn! -

To answer all above - we aren't skating, no one plays with any urgency - everyone is too laid back. That's on coaching. Has he (TG) lost the room? Is he just too easy on most of the guys? I dunno but I see a team that if we came out with more urgency we would have won a bunch of these losses. A whole banana sized bunch. -

Bo Horvat - top 6 minutes + regular PP time = 9 goals Jake Virtanen - bottom 6 minutes + limited or no pp time = 8 goals Ah, good one, tell us another story regarding proper deployment of your lines TG! -
[GDT] Canucks @ Oilers, November 30, 2019 -- B2B Part 1 Edition
VanIsleNuckFan replied to therodigy's topic in Canucks Talk
Hate to say it but...Oilers suck... No, wait, I don't hate to say that at all... nevermind.... -
Cautious isn't what I thought, it looked to me like the boys got too excited and needed to be reigned in. I remember crow would have called a timeout at 6-4 and calmed everyone down. Get back to simple, and playing their game. Although I don't really think they played with much urgency from the hop. I'm hoping Green is learning and adjusting.....if we have all the answers we would have won a bunch of cups by now. I could probably argue also that the team had been built with a process, and in a solid way. No more swinging for the fences, we are climbing the ladder. (For lack of a better analogy) Yet for the coaching staff we have seen much experimentation (Torts, Willie D). Hoping for a better outcome than one of a building block..maybe we need someone proven? Maybe we don't? Obviously we will look better with more vets in the lineup... We need that voice, even if Green isn't usually that voice.. Is he?. He definitely had some confused looks on his face yesterday..
