ADVERTISEMENT “They send him out, drink 20 pints, go off with a couple of women, whatever he wants, and come back the next day,” Chin said. “That’s the way they live. It’s the culture, what they believe in, letting off steam like that. I don’t know if they look at the science behind it.” After no showing in the Mile high city its time for the Canucks to run a little wild in Vegas and have a boys night out a bonding trip if you will.. A Friday night of debauchery out on the town. Bump up their stipends or per diems just for Vegas. Maybe that's the magic elixir. It can't hurt anyways they can't play any worse than tonight!!!

J.I.A.H.N Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, Coconuts said: Flying V, it's not as if we can do worse It is funny, but you reminded me of a team I played on a few years ago, where I had a buddy come play for us for a game, during the game we had a Power play, and it was very dismal to say the least. My buddy looked at me on the bench, and said "Ah, yes! The Herring ball formation". meaning no one knew where the others were going. No plan, but they tried hard! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Not only was drinking in front the coaches acceptable, Chin said, but it was sometimes a strategy to break out of a slump. “They have this thing called a ‘change-up,’ when a player is not on form, not scoring,” Chin said. “The manager will call a change-up, and basically, that player has to go out and ruin himself for the night then come back the next day with the attitude of you just don’t care.” How exactly would a player “ruin himself” for the night, you ask? “They send him out, drink 20 pints, go off with a couple of women, whatever he wants, and come back the next day,” Chin said. “That’s the way they live.

Patel Bure Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Yes. ”The change up.” Replace Pettersson with Horvat on the lotto line. Replace Dickinson with Pettersson to play with Garland and Podkolzin. Replace Horvat with Dickinson to play with Pearson and Hoglander.
