It’s too bad @SabreFan1 is no longer here. It was fun interacting with him during the Sabres games.

was it a goal though? i've been reading through some of the GDT SabreFan last commented in, and you were arguing about a call like crazy, half of the people said it went through the net, other half said it went over the net, but honestly I got tired reading through 10+ pages...

Whatever SabreFan said in that thread was the truth. People got so upset with the guy they forgot that the Vancouver feed isn't the only broadcast.

They completely ignored the FACT, despite being told on multiple occasions, that SabreFanwas watching a different broadcast that had a differnt camera angle showing him as being right.

 

Not good enough for the morons that kept badgering him, till he left the site.

One of this site's biggest losses, imo.

My note to the team:

1). Score first.

2). Add onto the lead

3). Hold onto the lead

4). Win the game in regulation

 

LET'S GO!!

Score more goals than them

 

Go canucks go 

[greenbean30]

If Boeser is playing tomorrow, wouldn't someone had to have been waived earlier today?

Unless we paper down on of the 3 guys who don't need it, but they are all in the starting line up.

I feel that will overwhelm a lot of teams.  I'd love to see Motte with Pods and JT once he is back.  Each of our top 3 lines would have a tenacious little POS to play against.

[spook007]

Estimated attendance... 16  nice one @-SN-

[Junkyard Dog]

Good, good. 
 

Miller hasn’t been good with Petey so far and having him at 3rd C might balance out the lines. With Boeser back we can do that. I would rather have Petan with him and Pod instead of Dowling personally and move dowling down to 4th line. 
 

I would like to see us win this game. I don’t want to lose the past 2 games vs DET/BUF. It would be a little demoralizing. 
 

If we win the next 2/3 I would say it would be a good road trip. We’d come out with 7/12 points.

in before all the people complaining about green giving hughes too many minutes

That's what worries me, that Green knows his job is tenuous this year and he'll burn anyone out he feels like to save his behind.  It's not about "the team" anymore, it's about saving his job from now on because there will be no more excuses after so many years of failed results, an inept PP and PK and fans generally fed up with his Post game sermons.

[greenbean30]

I know it's early in the season.. but that PK percentage is horrendous... We definitely need to tighten that up if we want to be a threat.

I'm hoping for a convincing win....that's needed at this stage to quiet down the naysayers.  Won't be easy.

 

This isn't an easy gig, this NHL deal.  You don't win all the games all the time.  But I'd love a good win here for this one to build some momentum.

I don't expect them to win every game - but it would sure be nice to be a contender and be above .500.   


Go Canucks GO!!!!!

R U serious?

 

The way Green secures his job is for the team to do well.  Quinn just turned 22....I'm sure he's ok with those minutes and welcomes them.  

 

I don't get the correlation between burning out his players and trying to keep his job.  It doesn't make sense.

I have a good feeling they will be.  Last year was a write off, for so many reasons.

The correlation is the "Tortelini effect", in that a coach shortens the bench & overplays and burns out his top players (especially so early in the season)to win at all cost - why????.  Not the first time we've seen this (remember Torts!) and the negative effects on those overworked players as the season progresses.!  At this point in the season, Green shouldn't be playing guys regularly well over 30 minutes a game - that smells of desperation!  I thought JB had supposedly brought in enough talent this year to roll regular lines????  If that is not true them Jim was telling us fibs.

Well if you look at the context we played two full 3v3 OTs and we were down 1 goal for most of the game vs DET. Also the PPs we had never scored much so a lot of full 2 minutes played out on the PP.

This is good news. I do think Miller has been holding back the first line. He's just not the same as his first year with the Canucks
