I also wonder if it's a bit due to style of players? High character guys seem to be the ones who tend to layout without much regard to their safety. One things pretty obvious we have one of the more grueling camps considering every year new players go out of their way to reference the first couple of days lol. Our travel schedule also plays into it. But when your strategy defensively is to let your D get hammered into the boards on a forecheck and to let other teams shoot a ton while trying to block them and your offensive strategy is to play dump and chase, you are going to pay a price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntrix Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 How long are Boeser, Sutter and Motte out for? That starting lineup looks spotty. Don’t even get me started on that defense I just hope we can outscore our opponents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be really fair about it, the reason teams take liberties with Vancouver is because for many years our team has had absolutely zero pushback when they do. Vancouver is one of the easiest teams to play and intimidate in the NHL. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him for earning a spot I'm guessing that's only the case given the Hamonic situation. Under normal circumstances Hunt/Schenn are likely our 7 and 8 and Burroughs is on waivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy and Green cared about senseless wins--makes for poor team identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time can recall our team was attempting some form of brute-deterrence, I seem to remember ridiculous 7 min, 2-man disadvantages. Poor Torts would soon flip his lid, becoming a Utube chart-topper. But we needn't debate the NHL's reffing quality. Rigging/influencing patterns have already been clearly established, & widely discussed. It's simply a question of whether "some teams" are more equal than others(in the classic, Orwellian style) Edited October 12, 2021 by Nuxfanabroad 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aside from who was/wasn't tough..the officiating as they put the screws to Torts'(Dec, Jan 2014) game-style was astonishingly corrupt & incompetent. To me, it was the league blatantly affirming(for "some teams") that there were, indeed, 2 rulebooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting in hard efforts, & lousy(or young, learning) reffs might make calls willy-nilly. It's gotta be so frustrating for the 'tweener. As for the reffs, I don't really pay much attn to minor-penalty standards anymore. Especially early in seasons. Then late in season, their 2, 3 calls per team, appear a mood-thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply a question of whether "some teams" are more equal than others(in the classic, Orwellian style) Officials are human beings. So are the people who run the league. There will always be biases whether for personal reasons or even business reasons. It’s not about brute force. It’s about not always turning the other cheek trying to get a PP. I know a lot of hockey officials at all levels up to the nhl and they dislike when teams expect them to even things up for them all the time. Many officials are actually former players and they probably hate pansy teams in general principle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on DeNiro your better than that, If you take into account Boesser, Sutter, Motte and Hamonic not playing and Juolevi being traded you are realistically down to just one that might have been pegged for the AHL.
