Is it just me, or the defense seems...a little bit better?

 They are pressuring the puck carrier a lot more. The passive Green system had them leaving too many lanes and juicy chances.

Podz seems like such a Boudreau player. He’s gonna thrive.

I agree....do you think there are any who aren't a Boudreau player?

Hamonic is back. ... means everyone is now playing at their correct pay grade

[appleboy]

Someone should tell Boudreau we have an 18 year old Russian in Abby.

 

One that can shoot

Wait a second.

A period without a stupid penalty? 

 

WTF?

I don’t wanna get a penalty but I kinda wanna see who the player is that asked Bruce to play him on the PK.

Podz, he had to convince Boudreau that he'd block lots of shots because Russian machine never break 

[SergioMomesso]

BB6 is gonna be in BB’s dog house before the 3rd period if he isn’t already.

Maybe Boudreau thought for a sec that he had Ovi again lol. 

Damn near as effective as Ovi, so I can understand his confusion

Ya doesn’t he know we need this? What a dick 

Indeed, quite rude.

Solid, inspired first period of hockey that was better than the last five games combined.

He's had one pre game skate with him. Pretty sure it will take more than two periods

Podkolzin is looking like a Calder winner out there. I think he is gonna love playing for Bruce. 

Our Russian Machine wants to hit, shoot, score goal. Not necessarily in that order. 
 

I caught the first period (bedtime for me sadly) and loved what I saw. Hustle on pucks, some good hits on the forecheck (yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy), nobody swimming by themselves in any zone - even on the Motte Poolman Bobble play, everybody was coming back in the play. No lazy ass-dragging. 
 

We might win and we might lose tonight. But that first period is how the Canucks *need* to play going forward. The team WILL win more games than it loses playing that way. 
 

Podz and Petey looked like they were starting to gel just a little bit there towards the end, and Garland is magic wherever he plays. 

[DefCon1]

I think Bruce told the team everyone will get Haagen Dazs if the team wins

Chopping a foot or two off the length of the leg pads (what are they called lmao) would make things so much more interesting. At both ends of the ice. (Hip joint protectors?)

 

That's gonna be a hard sell to the NHLPA though
