  1. Been like that the whole series... Can win if you're the only ones getting nailed
  2. As we are getting better, I think they will be able to get players at a lower price, than they could while being bottom feeder. Players are not blind... they can see something is cooking in Vancouver. However fans have to make up their mind as well, do they want good players or not. MG collected a lot at discounted salaries, but the price were NMC's or NTC'... I don't think we can have it both way.
  3. All or nothing... We can sleep, when we get old.... I've enjoyed the ride immensely, and wish it would continue. But yeah probably slightly harder for the wife, when the alarm goes off in the early morning hours. Don't think she's too impressed all the time
  4. If hearing this doesn’t rile him up, nothing ever will... I hope, he goes for some thunderous hits against either Patch, Karlson or Marchessault... something I wished, he’d do for a long time. Don’t even care if he goes to the box for it. Refs evens up the pens with ridiculous calls anyway.
  5. Do or die... nothing to lose. Just come out playing the best they can, and hope for a few lucky bounces. Gonna miss getting up at 2:30 am to watch the games. Its been a magic roller coaster. Hopefully they can extend it.
  6. Think thats unfair on Motte... he has been a revelation during these playoff, but we could have used a ‘heavy’ bruiser willing to hit anything with a heartbeat on that line.
  7. Agree 100%... Reminiscent of Burrows treatment... I would also like to know, which book they use for agitators like Rooster besides wheel of fortune... The 2 misconduct pens were jokes, unless he said somethings to the refs... He didn't do anything, a few others players didn't do as well...
  8. True, but I think they were running with the trusted during play offs. Think if they had played the new comers and lost, it would have been same calls, why change it away from those, who brought us here... chicken/egg kinda thing. But agree and hope there will be a few of them given the opportunity in the next game, although I have my doubts. That way they know for sure, which ones are going to be cut during the offseason.
  9. Agree Attila... Hope your luck will turn for the better from now on, and that your dad recovers. GCG
  10. I don't think much has changed regarding the window tbh... Good part being the core players has shown they can deal with the play offs, as there is zero doubt, that injury apart, they are only going to get better over the next couple of years. in two years: Miller 28, Bo 27, Brock 26, EP 23, Quinn 22, Marky 31, Myers 31 Podz 22, Jake (if still here 27), Toffoli 30, Gaud 26, Pearson 30, Demko 27, Podz 21, MacEwan 26.... Have only mentioned Podz of the prospects as it remains to be seen, how many makes the grade... Big contracts and re-cap penalties will start to vanish, so pending on how we fare with our D-prospects (hope we get another mean D-man, who can play as well). We are not far from a team, where the core players are in the age range, Benning was talking about... The remaining roster spots can be found through FA or trades or through our prospects pool, as a few more are likely to make it. I think, this is, where we will start to make real noise, although wouldn't mind us doing so before that
  11. Same here... (although I did enjoy watching the Sedins as well) Wanted to see a bit more anger and nastiness as you say. Good thing is, not much roster change is needed for that to happen... Vegas has had the Canucks numbers over the last few years, so it was never going to be a cake walk. However the core players has shown they can battle with them. Just need some players, who will staple the opposition to the wall at any opportunity. Have a feeling that Podz will be in that category for starters, so a couple of roster changes and voila we look a lot better...
  12. Thanks buddy... Some people just can't see the forest for all the trees... Have to say it loud and clear so it can be heard in the back rows as well... Our window is just slowly starting to open. These are baby steps and NOBODY bar Apollo expected us to win the Cup this year... What was it Benning said the average age for winning was? and tell us again what the age are of the core players... If anyone isn't encouraged by, what we've seen the last few weeks, they aren't fans... The future is here.
  13. Exactly.... Its all about perspective. Will there be changes? Of course there will, there always are... will it be enough to win the cup? Who knows, there are 30 other teams trying as well, but seeing where we have been struggling, will give Benning far more of an indication, what this team is in need of going forward, that any draft pick could do for us.... This is, why it was so important for Benning to get us to the play offs. But like you said in a post a few weeks back, Sedins were mid 20's before they started to make moves, our stars are starting already, so that should give us an even longer window. I fancy our top 6 to do some damage again next time, when Podz is here, and could JV just get struck by lightning and become the destroyer, we all hope for, we could be golden, (if he is here for that long).
  14. Add Kesler to that group... Hamhuis sent a few on their ass with his hip checks...
