Only had a couple bites out of it. Nice room temp ketchup on the side. It was sooooo good! Unexpectedly so, just like this game! It was made with Cob's sourdough bread and Balderson cheddar cheese, buttered up and fried. Turns out, it... ummm... I dunno. I'm trying to make some kind of analogy or something hockey-related but I've had a few beers and am feeling very happy after eating that unexpectedly good fried cheesy bread sandwich that I rescued from the compost, plus watching a Canucks win that honestly would have seemed inconceivable a week ago! I hope everyone else is happy too because really we deserve it You're making me hungry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post *Buzzsaw* Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 Team is still working out lots of details... you can see that by that comical line change which saw them outnumbered 5-3 for nearly 5 seconds. But overall, this team is much different... - I am seeing a lot more energy in the forecheck, everyone seems to be skating better and hitting the opposing blue line faster... the positioning to out man the opposition is better, with much improved chances to turnover the puck. - The PK is really starting to gel. Of course they did give up that 5 on 3 goal, but you can't really fault them for that. I see a lot more aggression, more willingness to challenge in the neutral zone and on the blue line.... no more free entry into the zone. And the fact they are getting scoring chances on the PK tells you their aggression is paying off with the chance to turnover and take off. - PP continues to be better... they continue to change up their look, rotating players in and out of different positions... I am liking Boeser in the high slot... but he doesn't always position himself there, he moves around as do the rest of the two different units. This is key, to succeed the opposing PK has to be off balance and unsure... that's the way you get open ice and lanes for passes. - 5 on 5 also continues to be better... I thought there were lots of good chances and I thought the flow was good and interplay. In my opinion the types of shots the team is getting now are far better quality, they are much closer to the goal, whereas previously under Green, most of the shots were coming from way back on the point. Boeser seems to be back to his normal self... which is huge... he is shooting and passing like the guy who got everyone so excited back in 2018. Miller is also playing well, and Horvat looks like the Captain of old. The only guy who is still having trouble breaking his snide is Pettersson... but the good news is he is trying hard, and getting good chances every game. I believe he will break through soon. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OEL and Hamonic are out, it’s a good time to take a look imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said what the hell? He said that the weight would help his endurance. Up the steep hill at the end too. My friends wife has some built in ones.

This team has turned over a new leaf. I don't know what Bruce has done, but he's making it look like Green was absolutely incompetent in his job when he was head coach here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post khay Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 If OEL was in the lineup, we win this in regulation. This is the first game without OEL and he does make a lot of difference when it come to the transition. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might still have a job right now. Yup, Benning tied himself to the wrong wagon. Had the opportunity to have the Canucks walk away from a coach without firing him in the first time in like.. ever. Nope, re-upped AHL Green and Baumgartner. 50 minutes ago, cuporbust said: You can tell he's just so goddamn excited to be coaching again.
