Adding the 2/3 ending Greens time here, 9/10 is simply astonishing. Really quite incredible. A lot of media writers are taking notice. If the playoffs started right now, and we were in .... Yes i absolutely feel it's a possibility. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Don't want it too and don't want to get ask to get pinched either. Or jinx it in any way lol. We are winning these one goal games now. And our 5 x 5 play is even better. Know the odds are slim still...but something special is happening and we are all witnessing it. Thank God for Demko keeping us in every game.. without him? Not sure we'd be 7-0 or even close to that.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 Great play by everyone.... Is Garland really the Duracell bunny in disguise? What an engine the boy has... Podz really good too... Special mention to Myers... Feel he will be a serious contender to unsung hero... He has been an absolute monster. And... once again, Quinn, Miller and Demko are the MVP's Please please please make it 8 tonight.... 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids confidence has gotta be sky high, having the new coach starting him in the dzone as much as offensive which was the exact opposite of TG. And when you think about it a player like Quinn who when he talks about his coaches over the years he always says coach in a way that puts the title "coach" in the highest of esteem. I noticed that a lot when I played baseball ďown South they get the respect of a father figure so it makes sense that Quinn would step up when a coach trusts him. Not sure if that makes sense but listen to Quinn or Jack speak sbout their coaches that developed them and you can hear the respect coming from them. Quinn could be 60 and a Grandpa and he's still referring to them as "coach" not Bruce etc. Lol Their mom and dad did an exceptional job raising the Hughes brothers. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nuck-lifer Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 Awesome win last night. From an opposing teams point of view , which line do you focus on? Pettersson, Horvat or Miller. They keep pressuring one shift after the other The Garland / OEL trade is paying serious dividends in the last 7 games man! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, i really would hate to see the number of threads you'd create if he was just an average GM. It's fascinating to see the Benning haters try to somehow heap praise on the team that aside from Horvat, he signed, drafted or traded for. When Benning was still the GM they called out every move he made, they'd sh*t on all aspects of his work or just flat out make things up. Now he's gone and of course now the same people who blasted him for trading picks for Garland and JT or choosing Demko, not bridging Quinn, bridging Petey, not phased by the "Russian factor" in 2019 etc etc Are now the same fans on hockey forums calling out Benning supporters because of the 7 game win streak and how great this team looks .since he got fired. Am I missing something? It's still the roster he built,. That being said he kept TG around who in turn wasted Shaw and let baumer destroy the pk and defense and for that Benning deserved to get fired but this roster is all him and I don't get why people feel the need to deny all the good he did. Regardless time to turn the page and let the past go. 5 2 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're finally seeing what many of us (except Uncle Jim and green) knew we had all along - a group of talented players. So glad that Aqua-Lini put an end to the insanity that even a 5 y.o. could see was going on. His decison proved all of us Anti Uncle Jim & AHL green haters - RIGHT! Green was the main issue, and JB extending him was his biggest mistake. Anyways, both are gone and I am just enjoying the Canucks win some games. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless time to turn the page and let the past go. You are completely right. This is Benning's roster that is winning 7 games in a row. Green has always been a mediocre coach, regardless of the roster he's been given. But the media will always seem to spin it like this team is poorly built from the defensive side. But with BB, not only did we win a one goal game, our PK has vastly improved under coaching staff. TG and folks were clearly the problem. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to give their 5/6 dmen more ice time and we took it to them. Sure, but we were outshooting and outchancing them before Fowler went down as well.

He's their top D and leads their team in ice time - was a pretty big loss for them. They dressed 7 Ds so still had 6 left. We don't have Hamonic, nor Brock. I'd say the match up was fairly even, all things considered, from a roster side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 We stole two points! And didn't play to protect the tie. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Canucks have a lot of nice pieces I would say they need another top 4 D man preferably a RHD even with Hamonic back - but man do shaw and Bruce have Myers and Schenn playing their best hockey defensively...ever? We also need, ideally a better 4C a guy who can win more face offs than Lammiko, but maybe Lammiko can develop I think this team is 1 good d man and 1-2 good two way rugged bottom 6 forwards from really being special actually, the goal tending is insanely good, Hughes, OEL and Myers are great and our forwards are getting better and better and this is without Brock and without Petey as his usual self ( I would consider trading Petey for a top d man and bottom 6 F)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDangles Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 2 hours ago, IBatch said: Now that Greens gone ... not sure what they will gravitate their angst towards ... maybe Fin? Maybe it's just that winning is like lifting a rock on the beach and showing the sun to the crabs - they all scuttle and run to the closest rocks together. Oh and the one lifting the rock is Bruce. Who could possibly not love this guy? Well in all fairness Green is gone... I was a negative fan for the first 2.5 months of this season. I was disgruntled, upset and said some angry things about this team and Green in lots of PGT's... But the teams play and the coach has changed, and I'm happy. I'm not looking for other things to be negative about. In other words it's ok to have issues and say the truth if it's negative, but if the problem is fixed then let it go and enjoy. That's where I'm at, and I'm sure alot of others. Just think, if it wasn't for all those negative fans calling for change, we might still see Green and co running this team into the basement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
