Popular Post Rindiculous Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 Seeing as we're never gonna lose again, the pause really makes no difference. 5 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rychicken Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think it's a negative - the Canucks have had the element of surprise the past few games...teams not expecting them to play this new style - they have been used to the "old Canucks" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MeanSeanBean Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think it's a positive. Realistically the new coach bump has diminishing returns. I feel we could even see that in the last game or 2 where the Canucks didn't look as intense and sharp as the first few games. It was a matter of time before we lost a game. If 1 lost turned into 2 or 3 this teams psyche could have been in a fragile state after the start of this year. We got off to a fantastic start, and much of that was probably off excitement and adrenaline. The break gives the team a chance to bond further before that first loss happens. In the long run I think this break is a positive for the team. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think comma splices should be punishable by death. In actual fact, it will probably hurt us a bit in the short term. It seems to me that this team really rolls with momentum, both good and bad. In the long term, we'll be fine I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its almost like we get to see what Bruce would have been like at the start of the season if this rolls into mid-January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams who were doing poorly have a chance to reset and come back stronger. I doubt we could come back much stronger than we just were.

Ah who knows, at least we have a small glimmer of hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danie_Canuck Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I said unfortunate in the poll, only because of the momentum we had. But I also think that the extra time to practise learn Bruces new system. All that said I will be happy when we can get back to hockey and the exciting hockey we have been getting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigbadcanucks Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) IMO, this "mini-camp" the Canucks are on is going to benefit them. This will give Boudreau the opportunity to kick the Green/Baumgartner out of the team. Edited December 22, 2021 by bigbadcanucks 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I honestly think it's gonna really set them back. They might now possibly lose one game before the end of the season. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think you need to relax on grammar? Punctuation is hard, and I've learned English since I am 1 years old. Honestly its not that big a deal, and it should'nt irritate you that much to where it creates divides between you\me! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds awful It's not like they're not practicing, and hopefully by the time games are back we'll have Schenn/ Hamonic/ Motte/ Poolman back, and the guys would be more bought into Boudreau's strategies.

dm_ranger Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Considering how many injuries and players sidelined we have this is great for the team. OEL probably came back before fully healthy due lack of available D. We have 6 D out of the lineup -- this break should ensure we get 2-4 of them back plus practice time. Plus Hughes gets to rest a bit after the monster minute games. I think our energy and health will counter any loss in momentum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It is a mini-camp but the pause also allows other teams the same chance to have one. Especially teams in our division. Oilers/Flames will have a chance to jump out of the gate hot again like the start of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
