Hmmm, could have swore it was in January, maybe that’s when they were in last place still or maybe the ‘Nuck drove me to drink too much that year.

January is when they finally started turning it around, but they struggled under the new coach at the beginning probably just getting used to his new system and trying to implement it as fast as possible, but they were dead last at Christmas, then after that they were unstoppable.

I'll update the roster ASAP but Green has refused to say more until game-time. 

For Montreal Byron is a game-time decision.

Both.

 

I am on day 23 sober. So jealous I'd be hammering  beers on the deck right now whisky for the game.

Day 23 for me as well 

 

Felt like complete $&!# all of new year's day trying to see how long I can go without liquor.

Most importantly what kind of whisky?

An excellent question

I’d rather Myers fight Perry than Weber.

Myers will take either one of them.

Myers can take that chucklehead Perry, no problem. Weber is a bit of a beast

Weber would rock Myers is world. 
 

Perry would pussy out. 

Myers could take Perry but not Weber. I played against him in Junior B when he was with Sicamouse. He is unbelievably strong, and he’s not just tough, but he’s ruthless. I like Myers, but he would be praying to god for the beating to end. Weber doesn’t fight much because he doesn’t have to. I used to scrap anyone but I wouldn’t fight Shea Weber for a million dollars. I like solid food.

  All the "NHL experts and coaches" on this board, in my humble opinion, should relax and let it play out.

Its been 4 years of waiting for this garbage system to 'play out'. It has proven ineffective.  Time to try something new. In your humble opinion how many more years (decades?) should we 'relax' and 'let it play out'? Until Petterson asks for a trade because he's tired of playing on a losing team?

 

Green gave it a go, he had ample time to show his system works. Its been proven that it doesn't, and now its time to move on. Continuing this malarkey isn't just a disservice to the fans, its a disservice to the players who are busting their butts night after night without seeing any results.  In the beginning a lot of fans were willing to give Green the benefit of the doubt. We had a young group, we were still missing a few key peices, but as time wore on it became more and more apparent that regardless of who we added or subtracted the fundamental problems were still all there.  Fundamental problems that Green seems to have no answer or for, or even any desire to address. Just keep doing the same thing and eventually it will work,  seems to be his mantra.

Fully agree, he is following in the foot steps of WillyD. He doesn't know what to do now, and it shows.

A very wise decision.  All this talk about Weber reminds me about the summer Gillis tried to sign him.  The wined and dined him in Vancouver but couldn't offer him long term offer sheet Philly made (that Nashville matched).  Of course if the Canucks made that offer they'd have been hit with a huge cap recapture penalty but I digress.

Perry, yes. 
Weber, I really doubt it. Weber is an animal. 

I think Meyers draws in a hug fest with Perry and gets killed by Weber

I wonder what happens if we get smoked tonight in another no show by the boys.

As far as causing turnovers I like the forechecking side of the system, it needs guys that bodycheck more but it’s still effective. I don’t have any idea who came up with the defensive side of this system, it drives me nuts how passive it is.

People need to let it go.  It wasn’t a dirty play. Pettersson admitted he tried a reverse check and it just went bad.  
 

Green was quoted as saying it wasn’t dirty 

Sutter called it an innocent play

Pettersson said it wasn’t a dirty play 

 

It was two seasons ago.  Time to move on

I always thought that team really missed out on the chance to be the Sicamooses

[Locke Lamora]

I mean, it’s been tough to watch the team play like they have...but I have to admit, the drama inherent in them trying to claw out of his will be fascinating.

Day 23 for me as well 

 

Felt like complete $&!# all of new year's day trying to see how long I can go without liquor.

Hang a piece of steak in a mickey of vodka from fishing line.

Every time you get the urge, go to that bottle, and look at the disintegrated meat laying in the bottom.

 

That meat is YOU. All the hormones, and proteins which are in your blood that sustain your life? COOKED. FRIED. ERASED.

 

All of the glycoproteins which grow from the surface of cells in order to tell other cells it's there, and to bring in things from the blood, MELTED, COOKED, DENATURED.

 

Alcohol is an organic solvent, and though the feeling is at times numbing, just know that its DISSOLVING you from the inside out.

probably all true.  I still enjoy a good drink in relative moderation.  I don't drink 2 days in a row so absolute max is 4 days / week, usually less.  It's tough when the Canucks play B2B and play $&!#ty 2 days in row.
