are they even allowed to socialize outside the rink?  They can't even hang out in their hotel rooms.

With the fine they gave Washington could only imagine the fine they would give for sitting beside each other in a car

I’d take Burkie in a heartbeat 

I loved Burkie but I suspect he's enjoying his current gig now.

Is Aaron Rome available? 

Didn’t he just get suspended for Myers’ hit?

We won't have to play the Bruins unless it's in SCF what could go wrong then

We are both of us dealing with only what we see on the ice and have zero inside info as to how Pete chats with Green regarding his current headspace. That affects how a coach would react, and I'm supposing that he's bummed about not producing and just needs his confidence back, which I'm also supposing doesn't come from benching. 

 

You're free to offer your own analysis on why less ice time would help. 

Because if the standard applies to one, it applies to all.  I was a long time coach and I'm a long time teacher and if I know one thing that demoralizes a group of individuals it's a sliding standard.

Defensively yes, a lot more solid. But that was the first period and they’ve had a lot of good firsts this season.

Good.

Hitting a lot, Fig. So I’m happy for the truculence. 

Better.

Define better. 

Two out of three who knows what 'better' means ain't bad. 

[Ghostsof1915]

Hoglander, Petey, Miller line?

 

Jake, Horvat, Boeser?

It was a barely slash and it didn’t affect his play.. it should only be called if the slash affected the play like if he couldn’t clear the puck... 

A year or two ago? somebody lost the tip of their finger to a rather weak slash. The nhl has been on high alert for it ever since.

Oh you mean Luke Schenn. And yes he was! On waivers.

[DS4quality]

I want a second period where the opposition doesn't score, is that too much too ask...

 

Pre - edit: yes, yes it is

Beats his previous gig of constantly having to fight Dr. Robotnik.

This game should be a turning point spark. They gotta bring the hunger and jump! 

They may be getting hungry alright. It's almost dinner time.

At this rate we'll need 50 more dmen

Worst case we fall back on my terrible plan to play Loui E on defence. 

[canuck2288]

Sorry Leafs fans 

 

i know you were hoping we would put up a fight against the Habs

He is the only one that knows how to hockey ever. 

Do the Canucks collapse at times?  Yes, but that seems to do more with fatigue

That would apply if effort wasn’t there, Petey’s struggles aren't a lack of effort. 

[fanfor42]

Nux look better this game so far.

 

Couple thoughts.  Edler is still very important to our D.  Glad he is back. 

 

Chemistry is still coming.  New faces tryin to mesh.

 

We are better than we have played so far this year.  When you have  a bunch of personnel changes then no preseason games you are in tough.  Trial by fire and I feel like they are taking small steps forward.

 

On the plus side, Ottawa is coming in for three games at just the right time.

So absolutely no analysis whatsoever, gotcha.
