N4ZZY

Was thinking this the other day. What a year that would be wouldn't it with the start that we have, and then a magical run to win it all. $&!# I'd $&!# in my pants if that were to happen.

Then I’d rather have Juulsen in the line up rather than Hunt. Have a feeling that Hunt could be for Boudreau, what Chiasson was for Green. Juulsen is also a righty isn’t he? We need more of those in our line up.

I’d take it as a win if Juulsen could be an every day NHLer.

Hahahaha I think Tippet is there to stay. He’s a good coach, though, if the team continues to plummet in the standings and they lose one game after another, after another, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tippet was fired. It’s not going to solve anything, since Edmonton has long since had a good goalie, and their forward depth isn’t that great either. With that being said, all teams go through slumps. We knew this coming into the season, Vancouver just got theirs right off the bat it felt.

We root for the Canucks indeed. C’mon hockey gods….some mercy after what the team had to go through before… Let Calgary or Edmonton experience this dread for once…

Winnipeg’s going to be tough to catch, or beat….but hey, I’m all in with this team right now with the way that they’re playing.

Oh man. Not this again…

No way Myers plays 45 min LOL.

Things can change pretty quick. It’d be funny if they fired Dave Tippet, only to hire Travis Green

I hear ya, man. I don’t think it was just you. I listened to almost all the post-game shows after the games, and callers were just so angry. The fans were upset. We felt like we had a better team than the one that was showing up on the ice. It’s obvious to me now that there was a division on the executive staff, and that filtered down throughout the entire organization. Benning as the GM should have nipped whatever the &^@# was going on, in the bud, but he allowed it to perpetuate. It’s clear to me because once he was removed and Green as well, the players started playing better, like basically right away. There was literally no transition to getting better. They just got better. It was as if a new roster had been assembled or something, but no, we still had the same group of players. It’s nice and it’s fun, and things are light when the team is winning. The players are happy, and they love it here. When things aren’t going so well, everything goes to hell in this market.

I don’t know the statistical figures, but I think it’s still pretty tough for the team to make the postseason. It’ll be close is what I think. The team looks like it’s making a run right now, but even with that, there’s so much ground to make up. We’ve played 30 games already, and have 3-4 games more played than teams above us in the standings. If those other teams lose those games in hand, then okay, the chances and odds obviously increase, but those teams aren’t going to go on 10-15 game losing streaks. But I ain’t going to say never either. Stranger things have happened. I mean, look at the Canucks so far. 2 weeks ago, this team was dead. Tonight, they look like world beaters.

Wonder when we’ll know if they have COVID. The game could be postponed though right?

Yeah. I was surprised as well that we came back from a 3-0 deficit. That usually never happens. And Columbus is a good team, they were rested before tonight’s game. We beat a good team tonight. SJ is next obviously and that’ll be a little different since it’ll be away from home. If the boys can make it 6 in a row by Thursday evening, boy, they’ve got something cooking in the kitchen, 10 in a row might not be a stretch if they can get 6 or 7 in a row. That’s possible now. I didn’t think it was likely let alone possible 2 weeks ago.

How long is Schenn supposed to be out for? Poolman?

Okay. So better than Chiasson. Gotcha.

Ah right. My mistake.

I mean they don’t really have too much more depth on the backend down in Abby. Who’s after Juulsen? Woo? Is he even ready at this point for a call up?

LOL. Man, what a sad story that would be for Oilers fans. So much promise to start the season, only to tank the rest of the season. I wonder if McDavid eventually calls it quits in Edmonton and demands a trade to a winner.

I wonder if a trade is going to be made just for depth.

That’s true! Even if the team is losing, if they’re playing like they have, with heart and hustle, and the games are entertaining, I’m okay with that. Of course I want the team to win, which they have been! Can they make it six in a row?

Man, Edmonton dropped their sixth straight tonight. But they’re not going to lose all of their games. They’re going to snap out of their losing streak soon, but the Canucks gotta take advantage of a team that’s faltering lately and make up huge amounts of ground.

They need to start winning games on the road for sure. Just need to win like a crazy 80 percent of their games just to keep pace with everyone else around them. SJ is another team that’s above us in the standings.

Yeah, or win those games against the teams above us, that’s an absolute must. If we don’t win those games against the teams ahead of us, then there’s no almost no chance.

I mean if Myers can play like he did tonight more on a regular basis, got no complaints!
