Ya This has been a peeve of mine with this team for yonks. that being said, as much as I feel Couture has one of the nhl’s most punchable faces, he is a good guy and so is Boeser. So I guess it’s a case of two dudes being dudes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. Despite them trying to turn this into a nice game, there has to be some hate between the teams. Ever see Marchand chum it up with an opponment (well, he has tried licking some lol), but he's a master at annoyance and does his job perfectly. Roussel and Burrows are/were of the same llk. They will do what it takes to win. Too bad we couldn't clone Roussel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple they set the bar too high...the first sign of success and they start planning a parade. Not everyone expects the team to win every game, but we do expect them to show up in time for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. (Uh oh, here come the "coach crowd"). We sound a little entitled at times as fans. Get behind the team instead of kicking them when they're down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How swede it is Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 5 hours ago, RowdyCanuck said: They have shown chemistry already this season. Jake usually plays good with bo but gets bumped from the line every time in favour of other guys. What green should try Jake LW Bo center and rooster RW. Man I'm pumped to see Jake in the top six again but hopefully he plays in the top six for the whole game not just a few shifts 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.

The blown lead against the Penguins, his statement after the game: “It’s 6-3 and our team is feeling pretty good and we make a couple of individual mistakes and it’s 6-5 quick and then we felt the heat a little bit,” admitted Canucks coach Travis Green. “You could feel it in the building. All of a sudden, Malkin kind of took over the game a bit. “We had a young group of forwards playing and they probably haven’t been in that kind of a scenario in the NHL — maybe ever — and it felt all of a sudden like we couldn’t make the play. We lost puck battles in our zone. And in those kind of games, you’ve got to pay the price to win. And I didn’t think we did.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I've accepted that we're getting there but we're not quite there yet.

He was mild...he spoke the truth. That's different than calling guys out for not "trying". They lost battles means they were...battling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
