I'm guessing him being 67% tonight in faceoffs is probably why they had him out? only slightly better than Bo ( I thought Bo was beastly tonight btw, I don't get how people complain about our captain, but I digress).
I feel like you're convoluting superstitions with supernatural maybe? I mean, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt both had superstitious rituals they went through. How can you possibly say those superstitions had a negative impact on their ability to perform? Athletes still go through the "work" needed to compete, but for some those rituals help them feel more in control or clears their mid at the moment that they do it, so how is that a bad thing?
I don't know why you're bringing Hughes into the argument, but I guess you need to deflect the topic somehow. I take it you're basing Myers value on "intangibles" ? That's usually what people like you prefer to reference when the numbers don't jive with your theory.
I'm not saying Myers has always had the value and results he's showing this season, but as of now he's worth every penny the Canucks pay him. If you want to talk about Highes let me know and I'll meet you in that topic instead.
If you did your research you'd see that so far this season Myers is putting up the same numbers as Weber, Burns, Giordano, Provorov and Chabot, So yes, this season so far he has been "real good".
Unless you can somehow directly correlate or show specific examples of how players "skip the hard work" in lue of superstition, this is a ridiculous statement and makes me think you don't really work in the field of psychology, cuz if you did you'd know that statement is a fallacy.
I really don't understand why people feel they need to exaggerate to make a point. They didn't "play with us", it was a 7 game series for crying out loud. It was a very close serious, and if our young stars take a big enough step forward in development I see no reason the Canucks couldn't take the Knights out this year.
I'm not sure 5 places in the first round is THAT Much of a higher pick. I really don't see a big difference is draft position (10 compared t0 15) and age, so I don't see why expectations should be higher for Pods.
Really? That can't be right can it? Are there new rules in place for Seattle's expansion draft? Rules last time:
Protected Lists
* Clubs will have two options for players they wish to protect in the Expansion Draft:
a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender
b) Eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender
* All players who have currently effective and continuing "No Movement" clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who to decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).
* All first- and second-year professionals, as well as all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).
Could PITB have it wrong maybe?
I don't post often, but sometimes I see comments like this that really irk me.
The difference is, how many years of NHL Skille has compared to Gaunce. It's absurd to compare the two, Skille was a 7th overall, Gaunce a late first rounder.
Ok, this confuses me. If you don't know who Dane Fox is, how do you know Brock is nothing like him? That's completely illogical.
I had to work today, so I missed the game unfortunately. Can anybody tell me if they tried him on the 2nd line with Dvorak?
