  1. It's not good enough to only score one goal in a game in this league. We needed to score more. Props to Crawford he played very well in the 3rd though. Luongo looked very sharp on everything except the second goal. The second goal was a really weak one and he should have had that one easily.
  2. Yeah honestly showing the amount of skill and reliability/poise etc, that he has shown since he got to Vancouver, would make him worth a decent amount. Sucks to lose assets no matter what, regardless of how much abundance of that role you have.
  3. Where is your source for that stat? Sounds pretty ridiculous, a 6 point swing in over half a season seems easily possible...
  4. While I agree that confidence can play a large role in losing streaks, I think puck luck can have a lot to do with it as well. I remember a lot of shots hitting posts and a lot of in close chances that we just needed to get the puck up a little higher and it was a goal, etc. Sometimes you do everything right and you still lose. Mind you, not all of our losses were well played by us.
  5. I don't think they were doubting the system. They knew they were getting chances just couldn't finish, and that doesnt have anything to do with the system. The players believe in Torts and I losing streak wont change that I don't think, especially with a veteran set of guys like we have that understand the ups and downs of a season.
  6. Lots of dirty/ugly goals and puck luck, which is exactly what we need. Hopefully we go out and really pour it on in the third and add another 1-2 goals so we can go into the Chicago game filled with confidence.
  7. I honestly don't think our window is closed. I'm looking forward to Booth getting traded or bought out and one of our top four defensemen being traded (hopefully, NTC, I know), with that money and the trade we could have a totally new second line. Add in the possibility of some of the kids stepping up and I think there is still a lot to look forward to.
  8. People act like it's the end of the world, we are 4 points out of a playoff spot, the sky isn't falling, there are 59 games left in the season.
  9. Typical ignorant, spoiled, Canucks fan.
  10. ^^^^^ People are ignorant to the point of ridiculousness.
  11. By far the highlight of the entire game was them showing the clip of the last shootout we did with Florida like waaaaay back and it's Daniel Sedin losing the puck and not even getting a shot on net for the last attempt lol. Very comical.
  12. We are 1-0-1 vs San Jose the last two games vs them.
  13. What would be the logical point in ever pressing the panic button? Hockey is a game not a life or death situation. Even if we miss the playoffs we should strive to find the positivity in that scenario.
  14. Who cares how those teams are doing in the crappy, inconsequential East. Lets look at the teams that are beating us currently, the teams we are competing with for a playoff spot this year and who we will likely be meeting the the playoffs if we do make them. Phoenix 73 GF, San Jose 72 GF, Anaheim 71 GF and to a less important extent, Chicago with 78 GF, and most of them have less games played than us. Those are the stats we should care about, not some cherry picked Eastern teams.
  15. Franchises are made on drafting these days, for the most part. Trades do help though.
  16. I completely agree. I think Corrado could step up to fill a role on the team. We need that money they are taking up and if the cap goes up next year we could have some serious money to play with and inject into our top 6 and/or a puck moving defensemen.
  17. I guess one of the only positives that came out of the game tonight is that our PP looked the best it has all year. Finally we were getting to, and slamming in, some of the rebounds we have been getting on the PP. Imagine the difference a PP firing on all cylinders would do for this teams scoring drought. We need to have our PP running exceptionally well come playoff time.
  18. It's interesting and cool that Henrik was saying how much more they are battling as a group in comparison to the past and how they are blocking shots and sticking up for each other etc etc. Its interesting that he emphasizes that he likes that they are sticking up for each other.
  19. Im with you on that. I can't even handle it.
  20. Oh how are you liking the first game you have watched all season?
  21. Yeah its amazing how many late draft picks there are in the NHL that are very successful. You could make an amazing All Star Team made out of just 60 or higher draft picks. Zetterverg 210th, Datsyuk 171th, Benn 129th, St Louis was undrafted... etc etc. Even if you look at just our team we are made up of a ton of really late draft picks that turned out to be pretty good players.
