Popular Post -DLC- Posted January 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Every thing about Bruce's way of leading this team gives me confidence. He always looks so calm and his demeanour and actions are of support more than grasping at straws and having to react. (as much as I hate the constant dredging up of past coaching/leadership I see all over SM....time to put that chapter in the closed section because facing forward is so much better) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kept a few papers after our game 7 loss too NYR, planning to burn them in a ceremony at some point...."Curses!" Front page lol. Yep. Didn't bother in 2011, papers were going digital by then. Still waiting....what a ride though. Eventually we will get to reminisce on better days. Until then Lindens teams were the bomb. Won more series then pretty much the rest combined when he was on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it just doesn't make sense. No doubt. Get the need to be careful but at some point logic doesn't seem very logical with this stuff anymore.

It was in Calgary so I got to watch it on my new "Big Screen TV" (26" was BIG then). The previous game was the first Canucks game on my new big-screen. I had invited everybody over, and the living room was full. The feed was pumped through my new surround sound 5 channel stereo, and the Canucks lost, and I got all the shots about my shifty TV; and did I say, the Canucks lost. I watched this shellacking with a girlfriend, a couple 40-pounders of Lemon Hart, and great glee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gnarcore Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Run Tanev! Run Markstrom! I have loathed the Calgary Flames since I was 3 years old. That is 40 years of loathing. I now loathe the turncoats who signed with them. Can't blame them...those contracts were silly but sadly are working out. Still &^@# them!! $&!#tiest rink in the league full of inbreds with a stupid hick anthem singer... Did I mention I hate the Flames? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Water Walker Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 2 hours ago, -DLC- said: I've told this story before, but here's the condensed version of why HDIC will always be so special to me. Mom was in the final stretch of terminal brain cancer, in palliative. Mostly disconnected from reality by that point, but had glimpses of her here and there. Very brief and very emotional. I snuck in one day and her curtains were drawn and it was dark and quiet in her room...I pulled down the little hospital TV and turned it on, muted, to watch HDIC. Mom stirred. Canucks were playing the Leafs and I was being mindful not to fully wake her, but all of a sudden she sat up in her bed, squinted to see the TV and said "is that Trevor Linden"? (It was). "Yes Mom, it is" tears rolling down my cheeks. It would be one of our last moments really "together". I will never forget it...hockey/sports was our thing. She laid back down and closed her eyes to sleep. All was right in her world, if even just for a moment. (Why do I love Trevor Linden/my team so much? So many reasons, but she is the driving force in that) There's that damn tear rolling down my cheek again. Miss you Mom. EDIT: This was that amazing game summary from the last day Mom and I would hockey together: https://www.espn.com/nhl/recap/_/gameId/270113021 Geez Deb I'm trying to eat lunch and now my screen is all bleary, may she rest in peace.

GCG She was one helluva woman. Played poker with Gino and blackjack with Sammy Davis Jr. LOVED sports...it's where I get it from. I grew up hearing her celebrate goals, nice shots, etc. Didn't matter what time a game/match was on, she was all in. She loved people (and they loved her back). Unconditionally, without judgement, everyone was always welcome in our home (there's a funny story about that too, but it's not the right time/place for it). Thanks my friend. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
