  1. Are we still playing well just not getting a puck luck 3 games in a row? Or is it the other team having figured us out and knowing how to hit us where it hurts? The 25 cent in my pocket says it's the latter.
  2. These Devils team is playing like an offensive dynamo... ... Or so we're making them look like.
  3. There goes the worst case scenario... Now they'll lock the neutral zone up and make us keep dumping and chase.
  4. Pearson is another big body who liked to shoot from the outside rather than driving to the net.
  5. We should pot one in early do the devils open up. If not it'll be another devil of a game that drags out like last time.
  6. Let's go Nucks! Give me something so that I can feel it was worth watching after the game! ... Otherwise I'd be really pissed about staying home on this beautiful Sunday.
  7. Poor Bo just can't have a partner to go steady with him on ice... Good thing at least he found one off ice.
  8. I do feel for Cory... and he's not getting the games against his former team either. We could even help him regain his confidence a bit , but their black wood magic has been working too well against us.... though like you said, it ENDS TODAY.
  9. No more getting a black eye from Blackwood. Our boys should be pumped up from the puck drop and make those devils confess their sins early and often. GO CANUCKS GO!
  10. Goldy and Boucher are built to light the lamps in the AHL... and warm the press box chair in the NHL. All the skills, shots and swaggers they boast in the AHL simply disappear the moment they get called up. Sometimes I wish there's another in-between league for those players.
  11. More than anything, I feel we're still far behind in speed department. Hawks and Jets just flew by our guys easily while we're almost always the second to a loose puck. And it's not like all the big bodies Benning signed have transformed our team into a physically overpowering team either. Skill team? We do have some skills alright, some really high-end skill players too. But skills alone really can't save your bacon if you don't play with the puck much and spend most of TOI chasing the other team around. As frustrating as these losses are, I think what we're seeing is more or less the team we expected to see before season began. We're supposed to be a team fighting for a playoff (wild card) spot, not for a division title. If we get to win 5 of next 10 games in November I'd call it a success.
  12. Connor's fast, but also very good at moving laterally and handling the puck. Boeser really needs to work on his skating in the offseason to keep up.
  13. I see a big difference between Boeser and Connor: skating.
  14. Everybody's skating like having a sandbag on his legs.
