Another post hit. Sadly, the hockey-gods do not yet appear to be with us. -

Burrows never dirty. Burtows was always ethically sound, a bit of a diver & a mouthy pest, yes, but more or less hard-working & honourable. To say any different - you’ve been duped, all the way, by the BOG President & Bruins owner’s mega-media empire including his plants at the CBC like Don Cherry & Ron McClean on Coach’s corner. Torres was a hitting machine & would hit guys as often or as hard as he was allowed, usually with his shoulder & crossing this line, periodically - nothin’ else. Rhuutu, was made out of a mold like Esa Tikanen, surly, mouthy, pesky but not a piece of sh$t. And Matt Cooke was perpetrating his worst offenses not while a Canuck, but as a Penguin. No where near the douchey-goonery seen elsewhere. The O-6 teams have owners with deep media interests like radio, tv, cable & newspapers…they are the power brokers of this league. The control the main-narrative in how the media & league portray their players out there. Case in point: the farcical Mark Messier leadership award. There couldn’t be a ‘worse’ example of respect for your fellow union bros, playing with honour or abiding by the rules of the game. ^This chronic cheat is not wanted managing any young players & his lauding sends all the mixed-messaging that Bettman really wants to send - instead of being a steward of progressive officiating & player-safety out there. -

Weren’t as bad as Marchand? Lucic? Lemieux? Messier? Keith? Or a host of other career-enabled ones! ^Did they spear anyone, slew foot anyone, carve any players? -

Boudreau letting his leadership group talk to their teammates before coming out! Miller-time no doubt! -

Playing a better way under Boudreau in second half, & the Hamonic effect is gone. I think the guys were bitter that his decisions screwed up the D-pairings regularly. So many of this years Canucks are breaking records - even with the “lead balloon” first half of their season . Bet Pettersen & Hughes don’t let their agents hold’em out again! These players need to be committed to each other on the ice & need to be committed to winning each & every game that’s scheduled going forward! That comes from a place of ‘deeper’ sacrifices - the kind made between the ears! -

Tanev being a teammate of Lucic must be like Linden being a teammate with Messier,… full respect just can’t possibly be there! -

Someone spear Lucic as this game nears it’s close. Karma owes him more than a few. -

Yah - if recovering from the flu, playing Martin in there somewhere could have been a little re-set/recovery time for him. -

If they didn’t know it already,…they can’t take penalties vs the ‘Lames. Go grief - looks like Demmer has lost his fighting spirit. -

F#%^ you, Kelly! Rough starts were due to so many changes, not all good ones. They actually need to settle upon a style & a core more & develop some steady continuity to start playing more quickly & instinctually with one another, now. The Hamonic-effect & losing Sutter as solid PK support, face-offs falling mainly to Bo, meant there were more adjustments, nightly. The hold-outs didn’t help & now our young guns are being seasoned in a new style under Boudreau! There have been enough changes endured already, for the majority of these players to have proven that they belong! -

You gotta believe all of this cursed hard luck will get a pendulum-swing out of here,….and the good karma being stored-up in a vat somewhere will eventually pour out all over them! ^That season/year they win the SCup! -

That was a key injury & a turning point in this race to the post season. No more “core” shake-ups! Keep the chemistry of this team together to start & just add more depth to plug up any holes that may occur when there are injuries. And, nobody should be advised to be a hold-out, as the consequences are dear. -

We weren’t going to get real referees who’d watch out for that, with LAK & VGK struggling to stay in the play-off hunt, as well. I was sick of seeing Sutherland ref Canucks’ games after that Bruins series in 2011, then in the LA series the following season…& now we’ve seen him twice this past week! I believe he was refereeing for that Steve Moore blind-side head-shot to Naslund, that went uncalled & eventually lead to the Bertuzzi incident down the road. That guy is “poison” to this organization. How they cannot black-ball him, is beyond me! -

Markstrom doing Canucks a solid, by not playing, I guess. Thanks Marky! Get after - Vlad! -

They almost did with Opera-dude, but he wouldn’t mask-up or get vaxxed. Real-life consequences, other than contracting Covid. -
So… after reading this, who do YOU believe that this league wants to be in the play-offs? If they keep assigning old-school put-away-your-whistles referees like Sutherland, O’Halloran or O’Rourke… that essentially allow for a lot of “cheating” then that makes it pretty clear. We’ve had Sutherland twice this past week. With parity in this league, refereeing can very much help to decide hockey games & interfere with the results in these pre/play-off races. I just pray that Aquilini’s paying to get Rutherford on board has bought this team at the very least, perhaps - an ounce more of insider-clout, to affect the upcoming assignments, but If these assignments were all made pre-Rutherford, we’re likely hooped on that. So as always, the Canucks will be playing against all odds & this league’s manipulations - right down to the wire! They remain the ultimate under-dogs! As read upon rival fan-boards, Canucks Nation & more & more hockey-fans around the world, are seeing this team for what it is - a very hearty, skilled, often unlucky, yet highly-entertaining group - that has deserved far more reward, as a franchise, than it has received over its’ existance. Perhaps, the hockey-gods will choose to back them soon - too!

LA may have an easier schedule on paper but - are the Kings doing the same thing…which is at times, playing down to their easier opponents? Perhaps. The LA Kings are a team with a negative goal differential who play in a lot of 1 goal games. It apparently depends a lot upon who scores the 1st goal - to see how their games play out. There are NO easy outs for them either. Stay hopeful! -

If it hasn’t already been said, We definitely learned that deploying the “Bruce There It Is” chant too soon, can be a jinx.
