  1. Gaudette sure has been useless this year. One of the biggest disappointments to me. I thought he might have a big year.
  2. Between Calgary coach firing and Walter Gretzky’s passing, Sportsnet was quick to pull any unnecessary stories about the Canucks beat down of the Leafs last night. But they do have a story about how everyone thinks Leafs coach should be Jack Adams winner. Convenient.
  3. Reasons I’m liking this game: - No flood of Leaf fans in the building chanting Go Leafs Go - Regular start time instead of 4 pm for those bloody Torontarions - oh... and because we’re winning (for now)
  4. Canucks need to trade Virtanen while he’s hot. Maybe trade to the Leafs in the second intermission, for an Awesome Nostril nose hair.
  5. Leafs went their entire last game against the Oilers without taking a penalty, and about halfway through this game it’s the same thing. Shannaplan must include bribing refs.
  6. I recall him taking quite a bit of abuse with the hacks and whacks in recent games with the refs whistles in their pockets.
  7. Argh, LE should not be playing. Period. I don’t care if he’s even better than some options. He’s a constant reminder of massive depressing contracts and deadweight on this team. He should be sent to Utica to see if he really has the desire to stick out his contract by bus.
  8. Can someone on our team please play physical against Awesome Nostrils (if he plays), and lay him out? I know he looks big but he plays soft, and we have been reluctant to touch him so far. Tryamkin, where are you?!
  9. Leafs beat the Oilers handily again, but perhaps some suspect reffing, with Leafs given 5 powerplays and Oilers given none. I'm guessing we'd be up in arms if that happens to us Thursday.
  10. It’s been a frustrating season, but I still feel like we’re on the right track. Losing Markstrom and Tanev hurts the most this season, but each season after it’ll feel less so, especially as Demko and some new defensemen become stronger. It might be a step back this year, but our foundation is still solid moving forward and we’ll have success soon enough so long as we don’t blow the whole thing up.
  11. I was noticing Horvat's +/- the other day. He's never been a plus player. I know it only tells one story, but for a guy who supposedly plays a 200 foot game, that's a bit of a concern. Then you look at a guy like Chris Tanev, who played on some pretty horrible Canucks teams through the years, and even on a bad Calgary team this year, in his 11 NHL seasons, he's had one minus year.
  12. It’s definitely time.. either Green or Benning need to go. Maybe both. Canucks just have no confidence and it’s painful to watch these games.
  13. I may be old school with this opinion, but I think part of being an expansion club is to experience growing from nothing and going through those early tough years. Fans are usually so happy to have a team for the first while that it doesn’t matter if they win or not. They’ve gone way too far with things now. Vegas has been a powerhouse from the start.
  14. Wow, leading 3-1 going into third and coming out with zero points. Will the owner still say he’s not making any changes?
  15. These reverse jerseys are really working out for us. It’s fun to lose and to pretend.
  16. It feels like we should have received more power plays in this game. Lots of infractions that could have been called, and with Smith playing questionably, it feels like a power play goal would be in reach.
  17. We win this game. Also, while this is neither here nor there, Markstrom is injured, and Tanev will follow suit. Fact.
  18. Sucks to lose, but still a pretty entertaining game. Petey looks hungry and competent again. I’ve accepted that we’re probably looking at next year at this point. I just wish Toronto gets mass injuries and lose every game from here on out. It’s too much to have them playing great and us sucking.
  19. Not a fan of the Beautiful Day U2 opening. I like the song, but not for this. Too soft / light.
