[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Toronto Maple Leaves | April 20, 6 p.m. | SNP

Also:  Because it's Autism Acceptance Night I feel I have to address comments earlier that hinted that having autistic kids is somehow a burden/curse when, in fact, they're a blessing.  It's a lot of work and extremely tiring for sure...but autistic children are so gifted.  Once you learn their nuances and how to enter their world instead of trying to force them into our world, they're incredible.  As the person responsible for the front desk at our school for autistic kids, I got to spend each day supervising them until the bus arrived at dismissal.  One was a brilliant pianist and also knew all about car engines.  Like he could tell you anything about them.  The retention of facts and information was amazing.  Twins who were hilarious and had a sense of humour if you got to recognize it.  (Those are the two I took to the Kings game).  Another loved art and each day he'd draw until the bus arrived...I collected 42 pictures he'd done and put them together in a book for him at the end of the year.  He was thrilled with it...shoved it into his backpack and said "I keep it".   These were done without copying or tracing.  Autistic kids just are so misunderstood....we quickly learned how to care for each of them based on their individual needs.  There were challenges at times...but isn't that true with most kids?

 

 

 

 

I won't post all 42 lol.

 

But these were ALL done from memory and quickly too.  He ran out of ideas and I'd throw something out there and he'd draw it!  

 

 

We have to view autistic people for what they are....unique individuals who have so much to offer.  It can be hard at times (for sure)...they do have tendencies to sometimes bolt and get very agitated (especially if there's too much stimulation).  But that doesn't define them...there's so much more under the surface.

That's quite literally his scouting report in a nutshell.

Juolevi did not look out of place at all, neither did Chatfield. Ollie is steady, and I like how confident Chatfield is in his game.

Just checking in on you after the Pearson show :p 

He played a good game. Nice rebound on the pp goal. The 2nd one was a fluke though, cmon. It was heading wide lol. 

 

Why would it bother me that he scored? I am a Canucks fan you know.

Canucks’ fourth attempt finally scored a EN goal. Just because team’s EN specialist LE was a scratch.

 

Coach Green should’ve dressed him up last night

TO media is blaming the two game series on their goaltending.  

 

While their goaltending was not great the Leafs scored 2 goals game one and 3 goals game 2.

 

That's not stellar offence.

The Canucks can’t underestimate the Senators. 

Wait... they are so bad they can’t be estimated any lower... or it would be a mistake t underestimate them?

Its right there. Ottawa is playing better but these are entirely winnable games. Take care of business and we'll have destiny in our own hands.

 

Impressive the way they are playing right now, still a long road to even have a chance but I want to believe. 

Yeah. We also got a bit lucky with Leafs goalie situation. 2 games in a row their backups had bad games..

 

Need luck to be succesful so its a good start..

I can't wait to hear the excuses tomorrow from the Toronto Make Beliefs 

You’re hearing them tonight from the media. Glorious!

 

I love that it was done with two rookie defencemen. Hughes with the special sauce tonight, Schmidt strong on D

Liked what I saw from Highmore, Boyd, Hawyrluck, Chatfield and Juolevi tonight.  We actually have decent depth all of a sudden.

add Edler and Motte shortly and we're not looking bad at all , even with our top center out
