That's different than calling guys out for not "trying". They lost battles means they were...battling. A lot of people saw it differently, especially the young part.

So the people creating drama out of it should probably just...stop? I understand being critical...just pace yourselves. It ain't over till it's over. All that stuff (I was a Lions fan in 2011 when we won the Grey Cup...one of about 12 fans left). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If Roussel can’t get Horvat energized we might have to stick Motte there too. Even if it’s an empty net it’s time for a goal at home for the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyCanuck Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 25 minutes ago, How swede it is said: Hopefully he plays like a top 6 winger, and not disappear as he often does when moved up the lineup. It almost seems like top 6 hockey happens too fast for Jake. It would be nice for him to use his speed all the time, not just every now and again. I don't think that's the case this year, Jake has shown up most nights maybe not a full 60 but heck the whole team is guilty of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Maybe we shouldn't expect winning every night but we should at least expect a hard fought game, especially for the home town fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, don't really need to throw them under the bus. I mean...you have to look at the personnel and guys like Petey who's already so hard on himself. No need to dump on him. It's a fine line between motivating and deflating. I feel Green's just fine in how he handles his team. Saying we played well against SAN Jose is ridiculous. We were awful. These are pro hockey players not pre school kids that is NOT going to build a winning culture, in fact it’s a culture that accepts losing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he knew that in advance 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Benning want them to get some playoff experience so badly. There's nothing that breeds bitter rivals faster than some playoff games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I just am able to isolate the team’s biggest issue and call it like many others It’s not the roster so what does that leave ? It’s the fans fault? ok 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Calling it now we come out flat in the first and fall behind by 2 goals we chip away in the second and third and we lose by 1 our brutal “coach” comes out and says, “was happy with the effort. Started a bit slow coming back home but I was really happy with how the boys picked it up the rest of the way. Good team out there in Montreal” it’s like a bad rerun Edited December 18, 2019 by canuck2288 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Looking forward to the game tonight. Should be a tight one. MTL is a team we shouldn't sleep on. We should be able to take care of business. 3-2 Canucks win. Petey, Gaudette and Miller with the goals. GCG! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyLow_ Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 2 minutes ago, debluvscanucks said: They've had some slow starts for sure ... all teams will at times. I don't feel there's a lack of effort...I feel that, at times, there's tentative play and uncertainty. They're trying to figure it out...sometimes slumps mean you try to get too cute. Squeeze the stick. Get inside your own head. We sound a little entitled at times. Get behind the team instead of turning on them when they're down? A few players always show up regularly, of course, but largely the entitlement you speak of is out there on the ice in full display, only dwarfed by the piss poor crowd in the stands of Rogers arena. I've been giving this team my money for 30 years so you are damn right I'm entitled to an honest effort. I also don't live in Vancouver and support this team a hell of a lot better than whatever the hell "fans" at Canucks games are supposed to be.

Doesn't sound like you're having much fun with this. Which is supposed to be the point? Anyhow, going to shut down now because there's a game on tonight that HASN'T been played yet and, well, I like to wait and see.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
