Agree, last series not many gave the Canucks a chance, because of big bad O'Reilly, playoff pest Perron, that hyped D, and their saviour Binnington. The Canucks dismantled these former champs like a piece of cheap IKEA furniture. There was a wall (our D game) in front of our Wall (Markstrom), they didn;t give the Blues much. And the Canucks are also getting scoring throughout the lineup. Sutter got 3 assists last game, yet no one talks about that. Motte is a playoff beast. Roussel's passion is infectious. Bo's playing with speed and desire. People are finding out quick that Hughes is already the best offensive Dman in the league. Markstrom is a revelation and if you have great goaltending, you can go all the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn’t Walsh wait for the conclusion of the playoffs if his client is unhappy and looking for a potential trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit superstar, blah blah blah. How about you talk about OUR legit superstars for once? Let's focus on our team and what they can do. I hate it when some feel inclined to give all the hype/props to the other guys. Despite this being about...our team. It's a constant theme for some....."they bigger, badder, better than us". Only if/when they beat us. They haven't. (I have my game face on and am a little fired up...this is the Canucks gdt, not the Vega Starry Nights). you are right on Deb, our players have been super awesome, as for our points up front i think we are tops, we are the real team!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will fuel them, if anything it will be status quo. Fleury's statement was expected and prevented the animosity imo. Just because his agent put him in a bad spot doesn't mean it is going to be some sort of rallying cry. I think it will be a minor distraction if anything that will be forgotten when Fleury takes the net and likely plays well. If he poops the bed though then it can get interesting.

Googlie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Following up on hits, found another stat: hits by forwards per 60 mins of ice time (I omitted the 1 game outliers of Ferland and Toffoli) ..... Roussel - 16.31 Zack - 15.81 Motte - 12. 43 Gaudette - 10.55 Beagle - 9.84 Jake - 9.18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep bringing that energy and stick activity, and the D makes mistakes. Like the first three goals in Friday's game. GCG.

It's mostly that the spiel is always tilted to the other guys for some on here and that gets tiring (too)...I feel this team has earned at least a little confidence in their ability to "counter" another team's strengths/game. I'm way too emotionally charged though so am going to run around the block. I apologize for instigating and will use the ignore feature for anyone harshing my happy. Signed Ron McLean Deb I'll forgive ya, Ron, when you stop being such a crotch watching commie!

Googlie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Motte gets a lot of credit for blocked shots. - so how do the other forwards compare? Blocked shots per 60 minutes ice time by forwards...... Gaudette: 8.44 Motte: 6.40 Beagle: 3.75 Pearson: 3.19 Boeser: 3.04 Roussel: 2.44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
