Not a huge deal, but people have to take it for what it is. Bo is the opposite; not too high…not too low. Perfect captain Good points, it really is starting to look like JT is great at faceoffs but not suited for full time center duty. It’s a very cerebral position. Putting JT with Bo has definitely evened him out to just focus on playing his style of game. And to that point I owe Bo an apology. I’ve been hard on him this year. We all want so much from this team and him, so anything goes wrong we point the fingers there first. A good thing for myself to remember is that all the guys out there care and are trying hard to succeed. Sometimes letting the players work through the tough times is the way it needs to go. So I need to chill out and allow that process to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a pouter means he's feeling sorry for himself and I don't think that's the case. He's pissed off when he checks out. It's an issue...we know it, he knows it. But I don't think he's pouting...he's "stewing" and often that leads to good things after the fact. Fires him up. The less JT thinks the better IMO, he is driven by his passion, let that be his driving factor. Don’t think, just do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Lind would pan out too, nothing yet. Even Brendan Gaunce. One feather in my cap was Burrows. Watched him on the Moose, then get called up for 4th line duty. His first game for the nucks I knew we had something special there. His awareness for the game to me was off the charts. I didn’t think he would peak the wsy he did tho! I thought solid 3rd line winger, momentum changer kinda guy…not 1st line magic man who would stir the twins drinks for years to come lol. Me too! We were at the Superskills when he was just getting his foot in the door...my daughter met him and we became instant fans from that point onward. I lol'd and said "ok, you can marry that one" (she had some bad bf's beforehand). What he always had/showed was determination. It got him into the NHL and it carried him to higher ground when he was here. He learned to adjust his game as he needed to and also had to battle adversity (assversity...Auger/McLean) but still rose above it all. Yep. Years later, he and my daughter met again at her workplace.... There is only one Burr. Well, there's another now too but..... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think, just do. The interview that he talked about his passion being a blessing and a curse really said it all. That the emotion that sometimes drops him out of the play momentarily is also what fuels him as well. A double edged sword. That he plays on the edge and it can go both ways. He's aware of it and trying to reel it in. That's the first step. Anything but "pouting". Even my wording...overthinking wasn't quite it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got to meet Burr, he is one of my all time canuck favs. Met the twins, bieksa, linden, and a bunch of prospects over the years at the penticton tourny. But never Burr maybe one day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 10 hours ago, FaninMex said: Miller was going after Crosby all game. Hit him and battled him every opportunity he could. Took him off his game. I think this is the role he has to embody, and playing with Bo in a shutdown 2nd unit works well. Sadly the 3 scoring lines just didn't work because Miller wasn't strong enough to run his own line, but just focussing on one star player works much better. Means our 3rd and 4th lines will be very weak, especially without Lazar, but if we can shutdown one line entirely with JT and Bo, and hope Petey's line just hems his line (their 2nd line) down then we'll at least be in games.

Start at Pattulo Bridge, make your way up King George Boulevard, make a right at 72nd Ave, then another right onto Scott Road and make way back to Pattulo Bridge 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 No surprise our PP is better with Hughes injured, this happened before. We simplify things when Hughes is out, not so much pretty passing and just desperately try to get shots through and it works. Also, the 2nd unit gets a bit more time too. I really wish Hughes would shoot more or try a slapper every now and then instead of just being a QB and focusing on the forwards to score.

Crabcakes Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 35 minutes ago, Alflives said: Yup. Our goalies stopped pucks at about .850 during the first 8 games. We saw last night how good our club looks when our goalie is better than his opposite. This is true but you can't rely on the goalie to win you games. When you build a team, you have to have a great foundation and that is defense. Sure you have to draft BPA because you need to draft players with the highest probability of becoming an NHL player. But at some point, you have to correct flaws in the line up. This is where they are now and have been for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -DLC- Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 I am sick of some of our media (hacks), Jason Brough, I'm naming names. Honestly, still dwelling on 3 games ago and completely ignoring adjustments that are being made. Mad at the team this morning for the awful start (get over it). We can't keep looking backward...at some point, we have to face forward and hope that the team does too. Momentum is huge so be happy that we're gathering some. Anyhow....I choose to focus on this kind of "reporting". Nailed it. Don't worry, I'm leaving soon so I'll take my celebratory mood with me (I know it's premature, but we've gotta celebrate when we can) This should win an Academy Award 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious that miller is a better winger than centre at this point. Oh I’m with ya there Miller is a winger but it takes two to tango and if this team is out of the playoff mix around TD again and Allvin has said no one is walking for nothing if horvat isn’t signed at the TD, he’s gone …as he should be we can’t afford to let that asset walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post higgyfan Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 1 hour ago, EddieVedder said: Hughes isnt a #1 but im okay hanging onto him as he is a good pp player. Boeser isnt going to net us much even if u include rathbone Most lists have Hughes ranked in the top 15 dmen, which makes him a #1. He just turned 23 two weeks ago, so is still a ways from hitting his prime. He has never had a partner that maximizes his game; unlike most other #1 dmen who have (at least) a top 4 teammate. Imagine if Hughes could have a guy like Toews playing alongside him. The other problem for Quinn is that his toi is too high. His youth and small stature combined has lead to getting run over and pushed around; especially playing on a team that hasn't had much push back (or pay back). Hopefully the team management can address these weaknesses in the not so distant future. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
