Told myself I would go to bed at 10pm and just listen to the game on the radio since I have an early start.
Then told myself I would just watch the first period and then go to bed and listen on the radio.
Sitting here waiting for the 2nd period start.
The sleepless life of an Ontario Canucks fan.
With Sutter out (which sucks) this will be Gaudette’s breakout game. 2 goals 1 assist. People are going to find it super spooky when I am right. Virtanen with a goal as well.
A realist would say that of course the team would fall back from firing on all cylinders and lose some games.
So If saying it is a douche move to literally gloat that you predicted it makes me “blindly optimized”, call me optimus prime.
They weren’t the reason we lost but they sure made sure the game was unwatchable and all about them.
We lost because we lost. Can’t win them all. Played hard at times but failed to execute on our chances.
People are complaining but I love the confidence Marky is showing. If it means he makes a bonehead play now and then I accept that for the benefit of him being the cocky confident tender we need him to be.
No no one complained when he came out earlier in the game and made a perfect play to send them back the other way.
They could have done that. But by calling him up we free up playing time in Utica where we actually want the prospects to be. The less prospects sitting on the bench the better right now.
I feel for Baertschi but he is collecting a pay cheque either way. I think folks are letting their sentimentality for this player blind them to the fact every other team in the NHL was given a chance to take him for nothing and declined.
As with Eriksson he will get playing time if and when players are injured.
