  1. Could Mike Johnson just go sit at the end of the Jets bench and get it over with already?
  2. Miller I know....Johnson. What a homer. (and thanks)
  3. Let's go boys. Time to restore some dignity and knock some heads. 3-1 Canucks. But it's weird...even with a 3 goal lead I won't exhale anymore. This is hard on the health.
  4. C'mon boys dig in and fight back. This game deserves a weird ending...
  5. This is bloody depressing. Wanted to feel so good about this. WTH?
  6. Enough already...who started that play??? Burrows did.
  7. Great stuff. We really deserve something to cheer about....
  8. Let's do this. We're on a roll. Aren't we? We are, right? Burr will score tonight dammit. And also Bieksa and Kes. 3-1 Canucks. That was perfect Nuxfan. They should have that hanging in the dressing room.
  9. And in adding my two cents. We can fire coaches and go that routine but the bottom line is the players have to show up each and every night. Dig in like their lives depend upon it. I used to think that maybe they could go into conservation mode a bit and glide into the playoffs vs barreling in, but it seems you need the momentum. You can't get into bad habits of coasting or it turns into a pattern. I don't like "blame" when a team is struggling...too many players, both on the ice and behind the bench. It's a shared responsibility and, usually, there isn't a quick fix when things unravel. Torts is tough....but, as stated in the commentary last night, all teams are blocking shots (it was dead even last night). So that aspect really is just part of the game now, as silly as it is (because what happens when there's no one left fit enough TO block them....poor Burr. Tanev. Guys are dropping like flies). I'd almost guess that some teams will be secretly putting bullet proof armour under their gear to survive this tactic. We went from a very casual, laid back coach who chuckled to one who now smirks and yells. Sure, a bit of balance would be nice but most were calling for an in your face approach not long ago. That the team needed a wake up call and someone with fire in their veins. So now he's here and it's all being retracted...he's too tough. I don't like that the defensive game is the focus in such a drastic way that offense is being neglected. Again - balance. But I also think we haven't had enough time to assess...the team has to find the will to win and no coach can transplant that in...it has to come from the players themselves.
  10. So someone's tweeting and paraphrasing others and we don't have links to those discussions or confirmation they even took place? Another mod has let this stand and so I'll ride along too, but for my own personal curiosity could we get further links to where this conversation took place? Because the vultures like to hover over this team, especially when we're down so I take everything rumoured to be said with a grain of salt. The boys don't need further speculation and drama and whatever unfolds will happen...until then, I'm just cheering them on. They played out the goaltender controversy and the next stories are in the works. I understand this team currently gives a lot to write/talk about, but as for the who's going where, we should have all learned by now. I don't think a single reporter had Schneids on the move when all the drama surfaced back in the day. So, really, what do they know?
  11. omg we needed that Eddie earned that Good work boys, turn this thing around
  12. God, hate these one goal PK finishes....
  13. Uh oh. Don't like to see that....
  14. Great pressure boys, keep it going!
  15. "He's gonna spend 2 minutes or less"???
