[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Tampa Bay Lightning | Jan. 12, 2023
stawns replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Of course teammates appreciate it, no question about that. But, in the end, it's about the W and you have to pick your spot. -
Why are you getting bent out of shape? I'm not arguing with you, It's a confusing rule with euros.

It does matter, he was CHL property before he was NHL property. "European players further complicate The Agreement. If European players are drafted in the CHL draft before they're drafted by an NHL club, this rule applies to them. However, if they're drafted as a member of a European squad, and choose post-NHL-draft to play for a CHL team, they can, in fact, report to the NHL team's minor squads before the age limit kicks in.

What difference does that make it the ref calls it? You've still put your comeback at risk for a meaningless play -

We all have our preferences, there isnt a right or wrong .......JB is your kind of guy and that works for you. For me, passion is fine and dandy, but the leader I follow is smart and disciplined and understands what the game requires at that time As far as that rough and tumble game you'd like him to play, I'm sorry to say that simply isn't how the game is played anymore. There's little to no physical play and there's certainly almost no fighting. In a few years, both those elements will be completely inconsequential parts of the game. -

The irony that people that expect an old time hockey response to a play don't seem to remember the phrase "take a number" is not lost on me. You didn't retaliate at the time, for the same reasons you don't now, but you took the number and got him later. -

If he didn't see it, no he wouldn't have. And if he puts team ahead of individual, no he wouldn't have. The goal is to win hockey games and risking losing your pp while you're mounting a comeback is not leadership, it's selfish. And for the record, Sergachev should have been hit with a major for that, imo, if not a match penalty. -

What qualities in a leader, in the context of hockey, would have you follow their lead? You talk about the cliche leader qualities, let's talk realistically, in the modern NHL To me, it sounds like you'd follow a Jamie Benn kind of captain? -

Primarily, the play happened behind the goal line in a big scrum, well after the whistle, my guess is nobody saw. Second, their focus was on winning the game and taking a stupid penalty negates that. -

Why do you think he isn't a strong leader? What makes a leader "strong" in your eyes? -
It's so complicated with euros. This is my understanding If a euro is drafted in to the chl before he's drafted into the NHL, but stays in Europe, he is property of his CHL team and has to play for that team if he comes over to NA If he was the property of an NHL team before being drafted by a CHL team, I believe he can play in the AHL. It really is confusing and different euro leagues have different transfer agreements with the NHL and that comicates it even more. JL was drafted by the Giants on July 1 and the Canucks on July 2, so I believe he is ineligible for the AHL until he is 20

Of course it was, I pretty much fought every game of my Jr career and loved every minute of it. But those days are never coming back and within a couple years there likely won't be any fighting in the nhl, at all.........to say nothing of body contact. We might not like it, but that's the reality and we can chose to change the channel if we like -
Just Because There Was No Management Thread
stawns replied to ToTellTheTruth's topic in Canucks Talk
It should have been a quick fix, that's the thing. Two deals at the last tdl or draft and it's pretty much taken care of -
he was drafted by the Giants, thus he is CHL property

I swear, some of these people think they're playing in the 80"s. That's not hockey anymore and it's sad to see people hold on to something that's never coming back. -

Why would you be disappointed by a guy who's already at 30 goals before the halfway mark of the season and is consistently winning more face offs than he loses and works his tail off every shift? What's disappointing about that? -

Discipline is a characteristic of leadership and it takes discipline to know where you are in a game and whether or not you can take that risk. They've got themselves back in the game and they're on the pp..........a good leader sees that and doesn't pop sergachev and get an extra 2 which takes his team off the pp. There's a time and place for a response and that was neither the time nor the place for it -

They've already done that once and to start over is 7ish more years just to get back to this spot with a different group. This spot they're is a step in the rebuilding process......... all teams face it and good managers get them past it. We'll see if they have good managers or not in the next 6 months. So far, I'm not filled with confidence -

I agree, and it should have been called, but if a van player jumps in there, it'd be an extra 2 for Van. -

Why is it absurd, thats always how it's been called. Best case scenario it's 4v4 and then TB gets a short pp -

If he didn't call sergachev for the original, then he's not calling that retroactively and he and the Canucks player would get off setting roughing penalties, but the Canuck would get the extra minor for starting it It's not like this isn't well rooted in the long history of this league -
