I feel like I'm hanging on for dear life when they put the pedal down. Stoked for our boys but man, what a team they have over there. Our stars are still kids and short on playoff/battle experience. Hopefully the snoozy giants show up on Friday. GCG! I really think our boys learned something about their own switch in the 3rd. Completely reversed the flow of play and gave the defending champs their own medicine. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Twilight Sparkle Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 im wanna share something pretty hard right now, and this for how much i love this team: last week a close friend of mine took her own life, after battling things like her mom suddenly passing away in 2016, and this year, she caught corona and nearly didn't come back from it, back in April, then not even two months later, her father passed away from COVID. her birthday would have been tomorrow, and she would have been 30 years old. the way this team battled back in this game, man, i started tearing up, because she was a canucks fan, and the team won it for her. i couldn't ask for a better ending 34 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how he's valued around the league if he's committed here. I'm not worried as he doesn't strike me as the type of guy that is looking for the biggest paycheque. His demeanor has always been team first and Swedes are generally loyal (at least the ones that have come through here). The rumour has always been around 6 million, I don't see that changing and we can afford that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 1 minute ago, theo5789 said: Many people prior to this game had their knives sharpened suggesting tonight's result will define us (likely expecting/hoping for a loss). All locked and loaded to rip into Green and Benning surely. Well the players pulled through. All Benning acquisitions (Motte, Virtanen, Miller). Green made adjustments prior to the game and in game. I hope the ones saying this was a defining game are ready now to see the resiliency of this team which goes beyond the work of the players. it's the Canuck crabs phenomena. put one crab in a bucket...it climbs out. fill the bucket with Canucks fans - and none of them get out the minute one starts to climb, the rest pull that crab back down. The Canucks themselves, though - can't see buckets for their focus on the Cup. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky's heart and soul are with the 'Nucks. They love him he loves them and his team mates. He'd never bolt from this team for more money unless it was hyper substantial. Not gonna happen with flat cap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said - I like DeBrusk - and Cuthbert has that classic voice - that enhances the game (brings the hype to the CFL as well). Cuthbert brings back memories ... I think of him and Whitman as they used to call the western games on CBC... Don with some historic calls like game 7 1994 vs the flames. Hopefully cuthbert brings some of that magic too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point before one of the goals... Motte’s? They looked super confused. I may have “confused” with “recalculating”. They looked stunned and then BOOM. They turned it up and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been impressed with the heart of this team this season but that performance threw that bar through the roof. What a resilient group. Amazing to watch them come into their own. This is the beginning of our ascent. Going through this type of experience with such a young core is amazing Enjoy the ride. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to re-sign TT73 I personally don't want to sign either Toffolli or Virtanen. I would trade them both if I could. Why? Because I never saw Toffoli as that good. The points that he got were more of chances created by other teammates. If Toffoli is considered one of our core players then sure. BUT, Toffoli is not part of our core. So Toffoli should be in a role where he is supporting the skilled/core players by fetching pucks, going to the front of the net and playing hard. But what I saw Toffoli do in the season is score on chances created by core players only and I have not seen a play where he generated a chance on his own and created a chance to score for other players.

Boeser, I think, has lost his shot cause he seems like he is unable to move like he did in his rookie season. I wouldn't mind moving Boeser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
