Why was Boeser benched? he seemed fine?

Because Travis Green has no ideas left. He’s flailing.

See you Travis and friends, Burkie is going to drive you to the airport.

Huge game time coaching choice....

 

Watchman coming on at 6?

Toe Blake is brought back to life due to arcane mage.  Aquilini begs Blake to coach the Canucks "Save Us!"

This team has no identity, unless being a soft, lazy, uninspired team is their identity. 

it is. 

 

they are playing as individuals not as a team.

Why do I have a feeling it's going to be the Flames?

He's legit.   Hardest working player on his team - and apparently already thinks and plays the game years ahead of where he should.  Rare for an 18 year old. 

Can and will he hit?  Or is he a hugger?

Because sometimes you DON'T GO with The Flow. 

[Dazzle]

God, the team needs a coaching change badly.

I'm beginning to agree there. 

 

Off-topic, where the hell can I get that Pat Quinn book above Burke's book on Juice's shelf?

The closest Canuck team I've ever seen as far as team toughness goes was in 1982 led by Stan Smyl. The Linden led team in 94 was a close second. I used to go to Queens Park Arena and watch Smyl and the Bruins. That was one tough team.

I believe that back in the 70's, especially, is that the game was based on passion, the love of the game. Players had to take jobs in the off-season to supplement their income. Sure, the passion is still there, to some degree. But back then there wasn't the BIG MONEY lure that there is now. Things have changed so much because of that. Now, in this day and age, there are so many liabilities that everyone has to be aware of, and now everyone is playing it safe. And of course, I'm all about safety. But it's removed that extreme element out of the game. It's a shame because that's what we really love. The real passion that makes this game the greatest in the world.
