Backup 3rd string goalie usually plays at vezina level against the canucks.. I’m pretty sure if u go back and look at the records of backup and 3rd string they are like .750+ with a bunch of shutout against the canucks I have, I am just desperately trying to find a silver lining. All those losing years and most of time they were not facing the best the other team had, goalies, or effort even star players got a rest.

I agreed with them. It certainly looked that way to me ... and to Torts who resorted to putting the Sedin's on the PK and asking them and everyone else to block shots. Everyone has a right to their opinion I believe. You already have a quote from another poster and you must remember all the comments made in the media suggesting the same thing. So no it's not all my own by any stretch of the imagination. I don't think I deserve the flack for restating a a simple and well known criticism. My bad I forgot everyone is supposed to blow smoke up the team's butt at every turn. Where I come from constructive criticism and tough comments about men playing a children's game was common place. There's a lot of folks here that blame everything and everyone except the players who play the game. We saw it last year with Green, and we're seeing it again this year. Man people get bent out of shape about truthful observations sometimes. Believe they are perfect and beyond reproach if you must but that viewpoint doesn't work for everyone. Also....maybe some of us understand that you don't have to point fingers of blame every time a team hits a rough patch. Some of us know that happens to all teams at times. Patience isn't some people's strong points here (which is why a rebuild would be excruciating around here). Men playing a children's game? Just shows you think it's easier than it is....EA sports stuff that's played from home on the couch. Sure. Go watch at glass level at the bone crushing hits and speed of play to see it's quite different than the Timbits you think it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was about how you saying Torts called this teams mentality that of a country club was completely asinine and irrelevant. JR calling this teams mentality a country club matters because JR is around the team now and has seen, in his opinion, what is going on with the current team and current players. You bringing up that Torts called it a country club means nothing because that was 8 years ago and NONE of those players are here anymore and that comment he made is therefore, in the context of our current team and players, irrelevant. Yes, you did not bring up Torts originally, Max did but it was you that brought Torts' comment in to the convo and my response to you was just reiterating that what Torts said 8 years ago has no bearing on today's team. Yes, you are now very clear. I apologize because something someone said reminded me of something. I thought that's how conversations work. I had no intentions of stirring the pot at all. I'm sorry. Just stated what popped into my head. Obviously my contribution hit a nerve and my comments are unwanted here. I didn't realize I was being graded so I will take my F and leave. I can find better things to do. Enjoy the day and the game everyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Canucks usually beat the Leafs on Saturday nights, so I expect a win. Unfortunately, as much as I love seeing the Leafs lose - and I'll enjoy that, it doesn't change much for me regarding what the Canucks need to do.

Smashian Kassian Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Tavares is 1 goal away from 400, and Matthews has been struggling so far. I think we'll help both those guys out tonight... b/c we are just that nice! 5-3 Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams play for Championships Maybe that’s all we need to do? Just a couple key moves to create that “team” atmosphere you’re speaking of. Something like what Pat Quinn did. We really lost a lot of our “team” when Tanev and Marky were pushed out. Now it’s about the current guys being like a “team” and playing for the guys on the bench with them, regardless of whether they like them or not.

EddieVedder Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Was our 2011 team a product of a rebuild? Honestly, i think we are in a retool and im fine with it as long as we cut one dimensional players like boeser and Rathbone. Start drafting some dmen and players who want to be here and bleed canuck colours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the success Gillis had “retooling” around an inherited core has influenced what our owner thinks is the best way to build a winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely one of the best value contracts in the league. 100% looking at these numbers I think ‘that’s pretty great for an old guy that makes almost nothing”. but that’s pretty great for almost any nhl defenceman at any price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No goals but he is creating plays and does what he does best and that’s winning board battles and retrieving pucks from behind the net. He’s been far better than Miller. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2011 team had that swagger, a winning culture, every player was accountable, and the stars led by example, on and off the ice. They didn't take days off when they didn't need to, or show up uncommitted and unprepared. They were a very tight knit, close group, had each others backs, and they had confidence. This 2022 team is nothing like that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
