Well, he’s not wrong. Lack of consistency is the reason we’re 26th in the NHL standings at the moment. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, it doesn't change anything about the direction the team needs to gofor me, nor will it change for management because the bo/miller situation needs to be resolved before the deadline and that will forge the new direction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I have ridden the "positivity" train for too long. The last couple of seasons showed me how fragile this group really is, and I believe it will rear its ugly head at some point again in the future. This team is not built for consistent pressure, hitting and hustling for a full 60 minutes and definitely not for a full season and into the playoffs. There needs to be more balance and we are not there yet. The odd win here and there is nice though, just hoping this team realizes that they need to continue to do the small things to be successful.

I don't care so much about wins and losses.........I mean I want to see my team win, but mostly I want to see them play hard.

Bure2Win Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Canucks got really lucky in this game if it wasn't for a post and a crossbar and Demko finally returning to form after 2 months of crapping the bed the Kings would have probably won. Myers, Stillman still look like pylons and Miller and Aman are horrible in they're own zone at picking up reads?.....Sigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we playing the wrong system? Myers when he keeps it simple is very effective. The problem is his reads, he seems to over commit and get stuck out of position. He's aptly named Chaos-Giraffe. I think his tall stature leads to him getting the wrong side of calls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Quinn's puck pursuit was one of the best I've seen this season. As sacrilegious as it seems. I don't care about defensemen getting goals, I want defencmen who can set up goals and help reduce the goals against with smart defensive play. Why the hell was he soo cheap lol! I can't believe we actually got great value in a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanSeanBean Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 44 minutes ago, ktcy2 said: The entire team is on an offensive tear. Are they? Garland has 9 in 17, Mikheyev has 9 in 15, Hoglander and Podkolzin have a combined 6 in 29 games. I completely disagree the entire team is on a tear. It's actually a small handful of players putting up huge numbers. Brock is putting up huge numbers, but honestly near a ppg while playing poorly with reduced minutes is better then he probably should be. I won't argue he's playing well, but I'll definitely argue the value of a player who even while playing poorly gets their points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we enjoy the team's success for a couple days? Tear it up, trade xyz, this guy's no good, coach won't be here long, etc, etc. Every thread degenerates into a pissing contest of who knows best. I'll take management's and coaches' ideas of who knows best over that dither. Especially after a solid win in the Post Game Thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -DLC- Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 I think the point here for some of us is yes, it's been a struggle and inconsistent but take the good along with the bad. Some just won't accept wins for what they are..."a" win. It doesn't ignore what's been happening but it does offer a break from it. From all the negativity. Because that stuff's no fun and there are those of us who don't care to be the armchair gm's, we're simply here to support our team. And that's ok (too). We're realists, but we choose our own experience in a "life is what you make it" way. Some of us have serious things happening away from hockey and this is an escape. A team that's losing isn't as monumental as the other stuff that's going on so when they win, it's something to enjoy in the moment. Two wins in a row....we can celebrate that. It's ok to want the team to win, despite their flaws. I feel like this idea of tanking/rebuilding becomes like an avalanche that gathers steam the more it's repeated. People buy in..happens in other things in life too. Generates momentum and that can be deafening. The only focus and nothing else is accepted. Which is when I question "why do you even bother?" If the argument is "we want to support a winning team"...go pick one. Some here praise other teams so maybe they don't even realize they're fans of those teams. Go all in. Pick a side. Imagine it's a restaurant and the food sucks. The service is slow and the serving staff don't seem to care. So you complain and grumble...but you keep going back. Scream to fire the cook..the owner...the servers. And they have made some changes, but it's not improving a whole lot. There are other restaurants but no, you're "loyal" (?) ...stuck on this one. At some point that's on you and the decisions you're making in regard to how you spend your time/money. You don't need to convince others, it's a personal decision to make. It was Benning and Green and now there's another narrative. At some point some of us have realized it's out of our control so what we take away from this deal is up to us. We can b, whine, moan, complain...but that's kind of draining. We need some relief. So, in understanding we may not be quite where we need to be, some of us are here for a positive experience and we grab on to what we can in that. Some will say that's to the detriment of the agenda and big picture but people who get paid a lot of money will figure that stuff out (or not). I don't think we have that much influence. People AT the games seem to celebrate the wins and it's not quite as dramatic. Maybe that's the secret...I'll just go to every game and join the party. tldr stuff but God, let's just have a PGT after the team's had a great effort reflect that instead of all the other stuff that's plastered all over the place. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnBurner Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 1 hour ago, stawns said: I don't think it'd be that hard, it'd just be a hockey trade.......a team that has surplus d that needs some scoring help, salary out and salary in. Boes is significantly overpaid, but on a short deal, which is a big plus. I know he hasn't played up to your lofty standards, but how is a PPG player significantly overpaid when he's in the same stratosphere as some guys named Ovechkin, Matthews, Sheifele, Point, and more? Obviously you don't like the guy and that's your issue. And it's also clear that he needs to take his game to the next level. But to continually harp on the guy is ridiculous. If we can get a good return for the guy, great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me your supplier's number because I want what you're smoking. Kid has the lowest IQ I've ever seen on a hockey rink. 9 times out of ten he makes the terrible play, instead of the safe one. Myers can only do so much to cover for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it can work but I'd love to see the baseline of the trade include jeanott and prokop lol! I don't think it's too far fetched to believe Nashville would pay for Miller. They have always signed those type of contracts.. But it looks like a 3rd line grinder with some hands ( +good potential ) and a solid D prospect for a PPG guy on a 40+goal pace signed through his prime. More spice will have to be added money and value wise but I don't have the answers for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
