  1. Saw some of the best offensive play of this team in the first. So many good shifts. Still getting broken down defensively. Barzal is having his way with us when he’s on the ice.
  2. Greener likes him so I doubt he’d be a healthy scratch unless he was hurting a bit. Mottes has taken some punishment last few games physically so not totally surprised.
  3. It’s past 12 somewhere I guess. Try not to blackout till after the games over. Should be an entertaining GDT.
  4. Delorme saw him early has and gave the organization a hard sell on Petey according to Benning “Ronnie saw him early and was a loud voice for him right from the start — even before any of us had seen him,” recalled Canucks general manager Jim Benning. “He was in my office and said ‘we’ve really got to watch this guy.’ He loved his skill and hockey sense. “We saw Elias anywhere from 70 to 90 times in his draft year because he was a bit of a late bloomer. In Sweden, they identify top kids when they’re 12 or 13 and when he was 14 and 15, he wasn’t one of those. He came more into his own at 17 when he had a growth spurt Gradin also played a huge part of it, seeing Petey several times on his own accord.
  5. Looks like Greeners coming into the conversation. Will Greener play Try if he comes enough to sate Trys desire?
  6. This is something Micheal Scott would say.
  7. Totally. This makes sense. Cause I said that we shouldn’t have any expectations? Tempered expectations and none at all are different things my friend.
  8. I don’t think so. This is CDC and the Canucks fan base I am talking about. You could find of what I am talking about if you look hard enough. Rope a derp derp. You’re only half right. We don’t have a player like him. No Russians on this roster.
  9. You don’t think being overexcitable can translate to setting a bar of expectation?
  10. Y’all need to temper down your expectations. No need to put pressure on the giant.
  11. AKA Edler 2.0 I am guessing. It would be someone good for OJ to model after.
  12. I think people overrate Brackett. He was a part of the Gillis Regime that produce nobody in 5 years besides Bo. Only until after Benning came in we started seeing prospects.
  13. If we got Laf, fired Green and cleared cap to re-sign everybody and sign some guys that would really help the team(top 6 D, bottom 6 forwards) then we'd be extremely dangerous and could have another Calder finalist. Could then put Miller with Bo. Petey and Laf would be pretty scary together.
  14. It's the team D overall. I only have issue with Stecher and Fanta. They hardly play enough and this team would benefit from players that can play physical and be relied on more so Myers/Tanev/Edler/Hughes don't need to play so much.
  15. If team keeps losing then yeahup. Maybe then our luck finally turns around and we win lotto? Wouldn't that be something.
  16. With the lack of push back and defensive systems we play IDK if we would get very far.
  17. "They buy into their system" In response CBJ's play. Maybe I am thinking too much of it but maybe shots fired?
