  1. Thats what I think too. Was just scanning this article. I think it is more along the lines of what that poster was trying to mention. https://www.si.com/nhl/2017/03/03/illustrated-review-importance-nhl-faceoff
  2. I dont know if i agree with 'big' trouble depending on the return but it will very likely suck quite bad to lose him. You know I love having 3 centres that can play in the top3. My reason is I believed that faceoffs lead obviously to possession and more time with the puck gives you control of the outcome. However, I cant remember which poster mentioned to me, apparently there are stats that show face off wins dont lead to game wins. Something to do with the parity of the players FO% etc.. .
  3. Sorry for all the questions but...best to be around for the media or for the players? I posted a quote from KB3 the other day praising JT and comparing him to Kes, specifically for their hate of media. I also have that game vs the Caps a while ago in my head, when JT asked Bruce not to come in the room in the intermission so he could talk to the team. Bruce agreed and the team came out gang busters. I have also read about Bo giving JT praise for his locker room demeanor.
  4. I heard Schmidt likes the nose candy. Did these guys sandbag Miller after they left?
  5. Ah, thanks. I dont listen to too much Nucks media. Did they say Miller's name? or just alluded to him?
  6. Oh, sorry. I have missed these reports. Who and what were they saying? The last time I heard of this stuff was from Corky Hirsch.
  7. Any legs to this from team members? or just your thoughts?
  8. This doesn't really jive with what Bruce says about Miller since he has been coaching here. I find Bruce is a straight shooter. That said, I also heard Schenn and JT got into it in a face off drill during practice not too long ago. To be honest, i am kinda impressed that JT the firepot is willing to stand in the face of the monster that is Luke. That takes some brass tackle and is dangerous for ones health.
  9. The words Elon uses here are terrifying. What dystopian measures would this guy take to control thought if he had more power?
  10. Oh fun. This is nice for home owners. It's because they base the value on 6 months previous, back in July. 2023 BC Assessment preview says many properties to see increase in value https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/12/05/2023-bc-assessment-preview/ Also, I have noticed in my area that new listings are way down. Likely just the time of year but it makes you wonder... Sales are way down, so are people deciding not to list and wait it out? Or for landlords like myself deciding to hold, also wait it out, and reap the very high rents that the low inventory is providing?
  11. Probably say you're obsessed with him. Have they come up with an gaslighting acronym yet? like... EDS?
  12. Haha. Up your security detail Dana. Ramzan Kadyrov calls out Dana White after UFC 282 split draw, demands his fighter be made champion https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2022/12/11/23504174/ramzan-kadyrov-dana-white-ufc-282-split-draw-politics-threat-demand-mma-politics
  13. What a fall from grace. That cute little satan outfit suits him. Never knew he was such a child.
  14. I guess they gave Jan the first 3 rounds ? ugly draw. How the fight ends should be worth a lot more. Paddy is hella over rated. Gets hit a lot and is sloppy. I thought he might have lost, another surprise from the judges. Till is also overated but he could have got the W over that huff and puff muscle boy but nah, rolled over and gave up. Overall, weak card. Highlight for me was watching that inbred 'murican flat earther get absolutely smoked. Ilia is the real deal.
  15. "When you get rid of these guys, that — “you can just draft a guy or develop somebody in the minors or even trade for them” — and you find very quickly that you just don’t find these guys around that often. Über competitive, super consistent, twice now he’s had nine-game point streaks, little ornery, little bit, maybe doesn’t love the media, you know — who does that remind you of, Vancouver fans? Ryan Kesler. Right? And, to be honest, like, in 2014 when Kes left, they’re still looking to replace him and you find that you can’t get these guys — like, he goes to the front of the net, he’s a very complete player, he’s great on faceoffs. These guys don’t grow on trees." That's what KB3 said about JT when there was trade talk. Miller hasn't had a great year for his standards but he's worthwhile overall.
  16. Thanks for posting, I missed it on telly. KB3 with the beatdown. I expect an apology from Z. An admission that they got sucked in with some lies or that he himself made that crap up. I wont hold my breath.
  17. England! That's how we roll. Still the best without, you know, actually being the best. We'll stride into the next world cup with the same swagger and be just as suprised when we choke again.
  18. You're right. We do have a way to go to be a strong structured squad. I know all teams have their issues but I can't help but wonder what our record would be with a healthy Demko, playing as he could, and with a much needed trade for a D man.
  19. I thought it was really cool to hear. I'm a JT fan but he had an off game. BB saw it and did what a seasoned pro coach does and sat JT. JT, as he is, took it like a man. Was interesting to hear BB say that he thinks JT has ben the best player for the team in his time here. If he was a poster on CDC, BB would be flamed for days for such a statement.
  20. Sat seemed quite grumpy...then embarrassed. Ironically I was having the same convo earlier in that day. ...'its not winning hockey, it's not sustainable' Well, likely it is not sustainable...but it is winning hockey. John kept 'trump carding' as Sat called it, with the fact that our team is lights out in the last 11 games. Winning. Cheech referenced the 80's, as I did here on CDC, he also mentioned what Bruce had told him about the great team chemistry and this teams belief they can win every game, even from behind. Anyway, by the end a defeated Sat started saying ..ok, if they win a couple more I will come around Ha ha...so Sat needs us to be like 11 - 2 or better for him to see that we are winning? So, we have 55 games left. I think we need to go 24 - 21 to get into the dance. Still an uphill battle with our current D and goalie situation.
  21. I thought he was the richest. Maybe it's not enough? When he has his own planet, Mars Musk and everyone on earth is controlled by his brain chips he might still feel empty. He wasn't held enough as a child and nothing can fill that void?
