Similar to why Gretzky (and other great ones) make for poor coaches. They don't understand what's it's like to be a basic player. I read (I think?) that Adam Boqvist - the young D man drafted a few years back - is dyslexic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The trick is: Never hold a lead in the game, until the end. Martin, Bear and Dries lead the way. Gotta give credit to the Canucks for all of those penalties they had to kill off, including a 2-man advantage. Avs got 2 out of 6. Could've been worse. Also nice to see the opponents dropping like flies for once - Rantanen, Rodrigues, Compher Bo's playing for a huge contract. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I was a little scared that the Canucks would go up 2-0 so close to the beginning of the game. The Avalanche would have had plenty of time to chip away, against a team with a fragile history of blowing multi goal leads. 1-1 was just fine with me. ie. When the game became 2-2 after Bo tied it up, the team was in a completely different mental state than if it was 2-2 because the Avalanche had just tied it up.

Popular Post -AJ- Posted November 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 It's honestly a bit tragic that we're in virtually the exact same position we were last year. Most people feel like our team can be a very good team, but we're underperforming. Even if we do go on fire again, we've set ourselves so far back that we need to be one of the top 5 teams from here until the end of the season just to ensure that we make the playoffs. It's crazy how far back a rough start can set you. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy how far back a rough start can set you. I don’t think most people think we can be very good anymore. I think most think if everything goes well we can scrape into a playoff position but not really challenge for anything. This management group looks like they are just getting ready to push for the middle again. I guess the 16th OA will still be our best prospect as Lekkerimaki has been rough so far this year.

It's crazy how far back a rough start can set you. Been hearing a lot of comments from commentators and analysts that they don't get it either. Individually we have a lot of good pieces in isolation alone. But for whatever reason the players haven't come together as a team that makes it all jive. Its mystifying, they knew they needed a good start, they all said it. Yet like you said, the same result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy how far back a rough start can set you. There are differences though. Last year our 5 x 5 game was decent, our special teams bad. This year our PP is good, and our PK still tragic. Although yes we just won 3/4. Demko was good last year, Halak wasn't at the same time. Good grief what a weird start. 7 games ... we lost at least 10 points. If we had those we'd be all patting each others backs and be excited instead of where we are. I remember the early Dec 2/3 games Green won.. we aren't quite where we were, but close enough. For different reasons. EP and Brock are getting their points and EPs playing well, last season not much at all offensively before the change other then Garland and Miller.

He looks like he’s in shape, so those rumours look groundless, and he may have just ended up in a deep team with Carolina, and his success with Vancouver would be a welcome bit of sunshine. if it rubs salt into the wounds of bigots in other fan bases.. even better… but that is likely irrelevant to Bear, I bet he just wants to play and win… like everyone else in the NHL, except for Player Named Later… Loui E… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be your opinion that the earth is round, it doesn't make it true. And those that disagree with your opinion aren't haters or ignorant, they are correct. Of course you're allowed to have an opinion....that's free speech, but when you're opinion is proven wrong time and time again you have to have some self awareness and come to the conclusion that it IS possible your opinion may not be accurate, you are human after all.

That giving away a 2nd doesn't instill confidence in me. We should have tried our depth first. We lost a valuable trade piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
