I felt that they had regressed past the point of being capable of sticking with the NHL grind. In the last few games, I have been very pleasantly surprised. They actually look dangerous out there, and are reigniting some of that chemistry with Eriksson, on the NHL stage. Who knew? No one was more surprised at the Sedins past few games as I've been. They haven't played that way and dominated for several years now, and for most of this season have looked the same as they did last year -- ineffective at best, and a detriment at worst. Maybe it's the 1K, but something has them energized to where suddenly they've dropped 5 years in age and regained their hands. And yeah -- if they can maintain this level for the rest of the season they deserve and should be re-signed, for the one-year-at-a-time that they've talked about.

Interesting take considering the home team and fans are the one that have their normal schedule and systems messed with to accommodate the NHL darlings. The first period results were due to the Leafs not being ready and had nothing to do with the Canucks playing well. The 2nd and 3rd periods were the real Leafs and, of course had nothing to do with a tired Nucks team coming off a 6 game road trip. The Leafs simply did not show up on time... Honestly, it reads as though there was only one team on the ice and the Nucks were just there to sweep snow during commercial breaks. Or... The Canucks scored two first period goals and coasted to victory. Henrik: “It’s hard to get up for those Atlantic division games” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the youth - Boeser, and Virtanen are being utilized (let's say 13+ minutes per game), the team play is energized rather than being stale..I could include Baert,, Bo, Granlund in the youth movement but they are being used like they should be used. Look at the games that Boeser and JV didn't play in or didn't play more than 8 minutes. I'll show you games where the vets struggled to keep up. The vets minutes need to be managed and it's time to pass the torch...it looks like that is what TG is starting to realize...don't you think Maxwel? or are you too busy burying yourself in ozone/ dzone starts, and corsi and forget to watch the game (can't see the forest because of the trees).

So you've backtracked from your claims about win-losses - which was fiction (ie the Canucks beat Edmonton on opening night without Boeser - etc) to make the generic point that the youth energize the lineup. Everyone knows the youth are faster and bring energy - and that the team is transitioning to a youth core. Not something Green needs to be apprised of. No one argues those points - or even seems to need to make them any longer, they're so evident. But your story about wins losses doesn't stand up and it has no real basis in fact to back it up. The team has had a mix of youth and veterans since opening night - there is no counter-sample to compare that against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I didn't realize the coach comes to these forums to learn about hockey. IT'S A CANUCK HOCKEY FORUM....YOU DUMBASS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
