  1. Yes, they had an ugly ogre, cave-troll. Retire that trash. Hopefully this is the kick-off for the BroonGoons longgg spiral into the loo.
  2. Jim Robson voice..."Bob Nystrom scores the goal! The Islanders win the STANley CUP!" Keep getting early 80's flashbacks, with this crazy puck summer fest. Prob the teams involved, but also could be the compact playing schedules(?) ...btw, how bad will Isle fans be trollin' JohnnyPJ's, should next season happen to occur? Do they really need him? :^)
  3. Agreed. From 1st interview, seemed this guy's a head-case.
  4. Not hindsighting at all. A thread was made last wknd(before game 3)..day of the protest-kerfuffle Canucks Lined Up for 5 games in 7 nights..etc... ^^^^THIS is the thread. Check it out. I said use the backup & use depth. Many disagreed. I'm sorry..but WE(Canucks) F***ed it up royally!
  5. Just need to be patient for two more seasons, waiting during a period that our top youth need a little game exp/man strength anyhow. IF we dipped back a little next yr(have all our picks), life goes on. Personally I'm not dumping picks to gain space. Dubas's example looks so foolish.
  6. UM..ranted about this plenty yesterday. Last Fri he shoulda told the two guys TD had gm #4. It WAS a humongousBIGgaffe!
  7. Some bashers cry & cry, it seems. But plenty of teams are sooo hooped... Minny: Parise, Zucc, Suter about 20 mill x forever Nash: RyJo, Ghosty Duchene. Turris ^see Minny Philly: ^ same as these two We're really close to getting the books in order
  8. It's possible & fair to state. But 5 in 7 left no choice. This was a 'rally the troops', we're-all-in-this-together moment. They're all stuck on a desert-freeken-isle. This was the opportunity to play that card, in my horriblyhumble opinion.
  9. One can't summarize everything through a title..certainly not the all-encompassing aspects of this(version of) franchise-overview. Regarding 'Rebuild Done' within title, felt this was more an indication of finally having the young, key pieces, & an upwards trajectory(as opposed to the ongoing spiral downwards) finally underway. & of course when started in Fall 2017, the title was different. Then kept changing the %(of rebuild) every few games. Intention then was to say, "Yeah, this is ugly. But c'mon folks, we're 75, 80...85, etc..% thru this tough slog..yada, yada" At that time places like(that OTHER site!) were soooo freeken ugly & negative. Rightly or wrongly, felt the folks on CDC should keep focusing on the positive angle. Due to the success(mostly, that is) of JB at the draft table, all positive threads have mostly aged as beautifully as Sophia-freeken-Loren. Of course we didn't know it would, at the time. We can all sip a glass of good whiskey today, looking back on a nice few yrs of a textbook-efficient reconstruction of roster. But yes, mostly agree with your post. Let's hope Tree ain't uprooted!
  10. Couldn't watch any more after they went down 4-3. So P*ssed. Turned it off & got a haircut(Mon aft here) It WAS mighty fun, but... This season's done.
  11. Horses have bolted. Barn door means SFA now! Had to make the hard choices last Friday.
  12. This is what they needed! It really burns my bacon. Puck heads are so GawdD*mned conservative! "Ohhhh no..can't change a winnin lineup..No no no go with what gut us here blah x3!"
  13. Green blew this(& I'm usually a fan of the guy). Didn't trust depth or backup. & yes I recommended these ideas after game 2(5 games in 7 days thread). Didn't coach to win. Coached AFRAID to lose.
  14. I usually don't go after Green. Think he's a pretty good coach for this young cast. But these past two tilts, were(in Latin) week-endus, holyfrackus-horribill-us! I'm afraid He fr*cked this up badly. He wasn't coaching with youngins' all excited to win. No. He was coaching afraid to LOSE! We were the underdogs. Why NOT roll with depth?..GoodGawd, what's there to lose with such a cool-headed approach? It shows confidence! Didn't trust his depth Didn't make adjustments Didn't use his fine backup Don't tell me the last time TD played. All these guys have had a freek'n month to get up to speed. Green kept going to the same well 'til it was bone-fr*ckin-dry! Said it two days back. USE. YOUR. DEPTH(ferGawdsakes!) You're not beating the Lost Vegan Rights with 19 exhausted pack mules. Just stupid really.
  15. A great guy like Maholtra takes a puck in the eye upending a fine career; why does Reaves get through unscathed, with his lips flapping like a 7 yr old? If ever there's a place I'd like to see a blazing slapper misdirected... Maybe nice guys never do get a fair shake? Btw, why did the Pens send the league-sanctioned goon to that filthy destination? Did Rutherford or The LEAGUE arrange that(for allowing crap in PO's)?!
  16. Never seen a bigger ***hole on the bench, as that goon on the league-favoured, casino team. Proud of the boys after 1. Keep fighting hard Canucks.
  17. 37 degrees & humid in mid-day Osaka. Got the strength of a wet Udon noodle, but the ugly game face on!
  18. I like that MG helped shine light on Alan Eagleson corruption. Stubborn bloke, but pretty sharp/shrewd.(if only he coulda' drafted!)
  19. C'mon Bo, put the team on your broad shoulders, like vs St Loo. Need a big tilt from our C. GCG!
  20. Venture a guess that Stewart figures he's the wicked(man) witch of the East? Every time he talks he's wavin' his arm around like he's holding a magic wand. Then my mind figures I'm on a rocking ship on turbulent seas, & I need a Gravol pill. Juice is a Godsend. But in a freeken puck-obsessed nation of 30 + mill, why can't they find 2 or 3(non-concussed) personalities, enlightening with a modicum of humour, & a peep-hole of insight?! I'd seriously much rather see HOST, Jim Carrey try to word-play & barge in on 3 puck-opinions with ludicrous non-sequiturs.
  21. If they'd take Baer/Roussel as well, I'd prob take the plunge.
  22. They looked over-matched today. Graovac MacEwen Bailey Why not give a couple of these big bods a shot? Fresh legs could change the dynamic. Would sit Sutter & 1 of Jake/AG. We shouldn't be afraid to utilize depth. Enduring a succession of grinding series, it's smart to also play the long game.
