But my friend pointed out to me that the players should have the most respect of all for their jersey - yet their efforts on a nightly basis certainly doesn't indicate they care all that much. Maybe they care and are trying in vain, but it sure doesn't show. It's been so, so frustrating. I have zero expectations at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lifelong fan myself unfortunately, it's sad that you can't, at this level, expect each and every player to give their best effort on a nightly basis. These guys are supposed professionals playing in the best league in the world, yet we have got a full 60min effort from the entire team what, maybe 8 or 9 times this year?

What gets me are the basic hockey mistakes. Positioning, body engagement, body contact on the defensive side of your opponent, backchecking up the middle ice, tieing up sticks. I could go on. It's simply baffling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tough franchise to love, but it will never ever change for me. It's my team. Good for you, for public declaring your loyalty - whatever that means. The mediocre product on the ice and to insist that no directional change, is needed, is somewhat insulting to the long time fans or fans in general. As for the jersey guy, I REALLY hope he does it again but this time, he needs to put Aquamans' name, to make it more effective. You obviously, have a different take but the shaming of another fan and taking the moral high point, says alot.

Wouldn't shock me, Leafs seem to like to add multiple deadline pieces and they've gotta fill out their roster at low cost They've also got the looming pressure of incoming Matthews, Marner, and Nylander extensions and Tavares will expire too The other three likely cannibalize much or what comes off via Tavares but they still won't come cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while I thought it was the players sending a message but I don't know now. We are so bad everywhere that it seems like it's a lack of buy in, systems confusion. But our defensive zone play is so bad that we defy all hockey logic. They teach these fundamentals in novice FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) But Abby is ahead 6-1 in the 3rd !!! 6-2 Final. Unfortunately none of Bones, Podz or Hoagie featured in the scoring, but Dowling had quite the night with a goal and 3 assists.

longsuffering Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 17 hours ago, OldFaithfulCap said: We argue because we care, but i suspect we're all going to xanax out and passively watch pretty soon. I'd say fire Bruce but this team has such a limited ceiling right now that its pointless (though yeo could go and we'd be fine). That being said he seems lost. The lineup decisions continue to baffle me- terrible lines, roster moves (keeping pederson over hoglander?) and constant no practices. In any case there's no grit to fix the defence or checking. We're trending in the right direction for a high pick, just need to not screw up some big trade options. Least EP will be back soon, he's worth watching.

Throwing on the ice during or after a whistle is classless. Respect the jersey. Sports are tough, it's up and down, it's painfull and rewarding. Throwing a jersey on the ice is for pussys. Normally I would agree, mainly because they are so damn expensive. But see it from another perspective. there’s no greater shame than seeing a team’s jersey on the ice…. Media , owners, players all see it. Maybe this does something proactively if it continues to happen… also, the fan who through it probably has had enough. It really is embarrassing seeing this team play the way they have with the management they have. Edited December 21, 2022 by sassbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is embarrassing seeing this team play the way they have with the management they have. I hate seeing it but maybe it’s the message that ownership sees that forces change. It worked last year vs Pittsburgh and hopefully it works again. We as fans cannot continue to support mediocrity with no message from the very top and this seems to get through. Aqua is the root cause of everything in Vancouver Canuck land and if we want change we have to continue to disgrace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I mentioned him as it seems he is always cited as one of our top prospects.... Abby won comfortably without points from the NHL contingent (except Lockwood. - he had a strong game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
