  1. Interesting projection. The reality is that I was spending hours a day learning to skate from my third birthday onward. Hockey and soccer were pretty much all I played. Still are. But you remind me of a conversation I had with a Canucks alum earlier this year. Amazing humble guy, classic hockey player who just felt so lucky he even got to watch people as gifted as this team. Couldn't look up to the guy more after hearing his appreciation for the game. Then I come on here and everyone is so entitled and angry. Such a contrast.
  2. It's been their problem for quite a while now. They really are a great team when they put everything together. Easily the most stacked D corps and some real ability up front too despite what we've seen in production post-cup run. Whatever is wrong is a mentality issue. Can't help but think that something AV drilled into this core has seriously hurt their will to win. Either that or there is a real issue in the dressing room (don't say country club, that's not what I mean ) that is hurting us. Skill is not the issue though.
  3. Calm down dude. So much anger against a young guy trying to find his game. Wow Kreider hatty. Rough stuff.
  4. The uniting tie between all the folks who I've said are overly negative is this love of being a victim. You describe an addiction more than you describe something you actually enjoy. Seems more like you can't comprehend that someone could actually feel appreciative and supportive of the team without feeling like absolute garbage every time there's a goal against. There's usually over 200 of those in a season. You'll forgive me if I don't view them as the end of the world and instead take a more cerebral view. As for why I keep talking about this, I find it genuinely interesting. You guys are as much a part of the show as the team is for me. You guys just experience so much misery for a voluntary activity. You have to admit it's a bit ridiculous.
  5. They will. He's simply trying to get a handle on his game which is frankly unique. He doesn't have a clear analog to base himself on but if he figures it out, people won't be saying he's the next Milan Lucic, they'll be asking "whose the next Kassian?" To a lesser degree the same goes for Edler. People wouldn't be so on his case if they didn't think he has a lot better to get.
  6. So split them up? That's what I've been hoping to see more of myself.
  7. If we didn't have the bandwagon I'm not convinced we'd have more than a few dozen fans. Die-hards are rare around here.
  8. You're making a case for fans being absolute idiots. For all the talk of observing and dissecting the game, CDCers have some wicked blinders on when it comes to filtering out the good work our team does as well as the good work NYR does. Yeah we're down. Yeah the Canucks are playing poorly. But has anyone here noticed that our style of play has shifted dramatically and that the system has changed to create more offense? Because so far one other person has mentioned it and the rest go "OMG, we got scored on! Nucks suck!" Obviously stuff is not working out right now but equally obvious is that 99% of people on here couldn't see a glimmer of hope because they just parrot other peoples' negativity. I'm genuinely curious, are you all just complaining because it's rainy or something? Everyone is just so pissy.
  9. So if you don't endlessly hate on your team you're not a fan? Lol wtf? CDC logic
  10. Use the ignore function then kid. Maybe you should learn some manners. When has that ever been said around here? If it was it's been drowned out by you all griping like old ladies.
  11. God forbid they waste words actually hoping for some success. I've seen some really interesting offensive plays from us this game, simple hockey with players in position to get deadly rebounds. No one seems to be giving Talbot credit for just how damn good he's been too. He's 5-0-1 with 2 shutouts.
  12. If there are problems, must we then rag endlessly on our hockey club?
  13. Let me know when you guys start having the ups come anywhere close to the number of downs. Until then, obvious BS
  14. For those who think they're great fans who just are realistic, maybe you've missed how you all jump all over every rational or vaguely optimistic person on here. Stop fooling yourselves. You're not fans, you just happen to live in this city and have nothing better to do
  15. People are just spoiled. Rather than enjoying the fact that their city even has a team, and a good one at that, they complain about it endlessly. Maybe they're just unhappy with their own lives and using it as a proxy to vent their gripes. It's just a hockey game kids. Watch and enjoy or turn it off.
  16. ZOMG Canucks are losing. Let's throw every player under the bus
  17. Dunno why everyone is thinking this. We are hardly playing poorly and I don't think when we come back NYR will have an answer. They're not the Hawks, Kings or Sharks.
  18. Edler gonna get stapled to the bench....which means our D is going to suddenly get better and we'll win
