Don’t see the Canucks getting cap relief - would expect them to take a UFA or a prospect for the AHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said - i enjoyed the Gaurdian - and was a real fan of 189lbs who got way more flak then he deserved but haven't seen any posts from him for awhile. I'm actually a very tolerant person with a very very long wick. And used the ignore once for about a day and turned it off - i don't want to mute anyone - but the spam and complete vitriol both overt and covert coming out of this one fan is way past just we suck. If i could i'd do a full on Lowe Burke battle as decide this old school in a barn. And get it taped. And be happy to post it. Three two minutes rounds, boxing gloves no head gear to make it easier - whoever wins doesn't ever start an account or make another post on this site ever. I certainly hear the frustration, but will a beat down really change this person? I prefer to fight with intelligence and words. That will make them go away much quicker. I have not heard from @189lb enforcers? or @TheGuardian_ for quite some time either, but enjoyed their posts, especially 189’s. Further more, if I learned anything from my martial arts training it was patience. Cheers and peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know - i'm probably overreacting - and also venting my frustrations on my own views on how a fan should act. But come on - this guys is relentless. I rarely post at all during the game - because i want to watch the play and the talking heads more then whatever ramblings going on in the CDC are, and i do appreciate the added value of sharing the joy when i do peak at it - and share the dissapointment after a loss too - because it's all laid out there almost play for play. And won't be past an olive branch at all if this poster changes his/her tune either. Grew up in a time where bullies existed and had many battles with them, not that i enjoy fighting but do see it has a purpose. If we all layed over and just took the abuse - it won't stop will it? And in the internet age the best way watch a troll disappear is just ignore them and not feed it. Edited February 25, 2021 by IBatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to withhold judgement for a few games. This young core we have is very talented and perhaps is going through growing pains, lack of confidence etc. It is not for lack of talent. I feel that they will figure it out eventually. You mentioned that we should not rely on outscoring our opposition, but I would argue that the fix is not bringing a new players like Shea Weber, Joel Edmondston or Chris Tanev (would he even come back??lol) to solidify the defense. We have players that have the potential to become the "next". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphouse Canuck Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: Good. I don't think the choice of goaltender will affect the outcome. Holtby is past his best and Demko hasn't yet reached his best. However, since Demko is obviously the No 1 going forward then it makes sense to work him hard, especially since it's a short season. What they both need is a solid D in front of them. The loss on Tuesday was largely down to the 2 main failings: giveaways and failure to clear the puck from the D zone.

The choice of goaltender does affect the outcome, if the goaltender is dialed in and not thrown to the wolves by poorly defensive schemes drafted by a overpaid hack in Bumgardener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
